I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

lololol: http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/02/26/chris-christie-endorses-donald-trump/?smid=tw-nytpolitics&smtyp=cur

Thanks, waterface. I hope this 'wetting pants' taunt is noticed by the entire us electorate. And it escalates.

never did debate, but you guys do remember high school was pretty easy except for that trig and physics crap

christie trying to get the f out of jersey

or maybe angling for a pardon

if you have nothing to hide and you are NOT a poopypants then there's no reason why you can't take off your pants and show the crowd your tighty whities right now
(OMG he's totally gonna do it)

christie trying to get the f out of jersey

And Jersey wants him gone, believe me.

debates felt pretty pointless in high school. this shit is just really dull reality tv, and has about as much substance.

Christie angling to beat John Mitchell's record by entering prison after serving as Attorney General for one month

im kind of blown away by the number of debates, is it like 1/week or something?

That's ridiculous of Christie. Is he that shortsighted? I guess he's getting out of politics.

christies got nowhere to go in politics, hes wildly unpopular in his state and has legal issues, hoping for an appointment in the trump regime is abt as good as it gets for him

yeah this seems like a pretty rational decision on his part

Christie was pretty smart, leaving on a high note like he did

agree with this

part of the Trump phenomenon is that you can't touch him without becoming defiled yourself

I don't know Christie's situation that well--I guess you're right, it's not like there's anything left for him. This does remind me in a way of how some Republican strategists and such tried to latch on with Perot in '92. (Ed Rollins in particular comes to mind.) I don't know if they all found they way back.

"their way back"

yeah why wd ppl vote for a Fake Trump over the original?

i am anxious to see what hillary or bernie is going to do when trump calls them a dumb loser or whatever

seems like it shdnt be hard to point out that hes an petty insubstantial name caller

reading this made me less confident that clinton would whup trump

http://static.currentaffairs.org/2016/02/unless-the-democrats-nominate-sanders-a-trump-nomination-means-a-trump-presidency

Trump will capitalize on his reputation as a truth-teller, and be vicious about both Clinton’s sudden changes of position (e.g. the switch on gay marriage, plus the affected economic populism of her run against Sanders) and her perceived dishonesty. One can already imagine the monologue:

“She lies so much. Everything she says is a lie. I’ve never seen someone who lies so much in my life. Let me tell you three lies she’s told. She made up a story about how she was ducking sniper fire! There was no sniper fire. She made it up! How do you forget a thing like that? She said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the guy who climbed Mount Everest. He hadn’t even climbed it when she was born! Total lie! She lied about the emails, of course, as we all know, and is probably going to be indicted. You know she said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! It was a lie! Thousands of American soldiers are dead because of her. Not only does she lie, her lies kill people. That’s four lies, I said I’d give you three. You can’t even count them. You want to go on PolitiFact, see how many lies she has? It takes you an hour to read them all! In fact, they ask her, she doesn’t even say she hasn’t lied. They asked her straight up, she says she usually tries to tell the truth! Ooooh, she tries! Come on! This is a person, every single word out of her mouth is a lie. Nobody trusts her. Check the polls, nobody trusts her. Yuge liar.”

Where does she even begin to respond to this? Some of it’s true, some of it isn’t, but the more she tries to defensively parse it (“There’s been no suggestion I’m going to be indicted! And I didn’t say I usually tried to tell the truth, I said I always tried and usually succeeded”) the deeper she sinks into the hole.

Trump will bob, weave, jab, and hook. He won’t let up. And because Clinton actually has lied, and actually did vote for the Iraq War, and actually is hyper-cosy with Wall Street, and actually does change her positions based on expediency, all she can do is issue further implausible denials, which will further embolden Trump. Nor does she have a single offensive weapon at her disposal, since every legitimate criticism of Trump’s background (inconsistent political positions, shady financial dealings, pattern of deception) is equally applicable to Clinton, and he knows how to make such things slide off him, whereas she does not.

although i don't think it convinced me that bernie would do any better

hillary shrugs smiles and says in a cheerfully exasperated tone "this is what donald always does when someone points out he has no plan or experience he calls names and then says hes the best at everything"

lol the media veering wildly from trump is week trump cant win to trump is the next president

Hillary: "There you go again..."

Donald: "Oh look, your husband's getting a blowjob backstage."

thats good you should tell her to say that

"and i went to his wedding bcz he gave the Foundation money, that was his offer" xxxp

he knows how to make such things slide off him, whereas she does not.

Yeah, that's why her Senate career flamed out, and why she was never able to get confirmed as Secretary of State, and...

thats good you should tell her to say that

i think its p obvious both rubio and cruz said as much last night tho it was hard to hear through all the yelling

now if i go down to the breakroom to eat my sammich this circus is going to be the CNN soundtrack

yes THEY TURNED UP THE SOUND now

I feel like, for most of the people who've debated or will debate him, a quick n' easy retort to any 'loser' verbiage from Trump would be, "Hey, Donald, refresh my memory: how many elections have you won?"

Trump attacking anybody for flip-flopping for political expediency would be painting a target on his own back

if all these low-hanging trump zings will slay him in presidential debates, why hasn't anything anyone's said to him in R debates yet made a dent?

no one's really gone after him before last night, except for Jebra, which was major weak sauce

also general debate w Dems is going to be on a different playing field, with different avenues of attack available

he is pretty thin-skinned though, which is p obvious by now. also short-fingered.

I don't think it helps trump that there are half a dozen people onstage and the other republicans actually are dumb losers. I think a one-on-one will be a bit different. Maybe.

I think it helps I mean

the easiest way to piss him off in a clinton/trump debate would be to cite poll data constantly as he will inevitably be behind

dude LOVES polls

Because half the people who vote in republican primaries are crazy as shit? Also because they firmly believe the country is going to hell due to Obama, and everyone else on the stage has in some way enabled Obama, so nothing they say can be trusted.

Oh wow xxxxp

dude, look at the people who are voting in GOP primaries and then compare it to general election voters

Hillary really needs to watch and rewatch the video of Obama roasting Trump at the WH Correspondents' dinner. It's so delightful every time the camera cuts to Trump. He hates it soooo much.
