Buttload of Faith: the 2016 Presidential Primary Thread (Pt 2)

Man, how many levels of this game do you have to rank up before you unlock the O'Malley character?

haha yeah I bet Clinton never even heard of Star Wars. unlike us cool kids who are very ahead the curve, being into Star Wars. what a square she is, invoking the thing that we only we cutting edge people know about

guess her Force powers allowed her to somehow know that ISIL is using Trump in recruitment videos

Lindsay Gram seems like a nice man, personally.

Graham.

On a personal level, he seems nice.

Fuck what he votes for.

Cruz and Trump

Mr. Cruz has in recent days seemed to more closely resemble the man he has been chasing — or, more precisely, quietly drafting behind — for months. … Perhaps most notably, Mr. Cruz has sharpened his already uncompromising language, eager to retain his own hold on popular anger against the political class, and to demonstrate conservative purity amid attacks from Rubio over immigration and national security policies. He has coined a new phrase, ‘undocumented Democrats,’ to describe those in the country illegally, and beefed up sections of his stump speech focused on immigration.”

Tailgunner Ted as Pierce sez

On a personal level, he seems nice.

Not sure. He and Kasich sometimes seem so by contrast this cycle, but I remember both those guys being at the more aggressive (I won't say rabid) end of their party at points in the past. I think nice was purely a political calculation this election. To paraphrase the common plaint of disaffected moderate Republicans, "I didn't start being nice--my party stopped."

kasich's turn as a "moderate" is pure branding. he and scott walker have governed similarly, and he's arguably more successful. no idea why he's decided to run a mccain-style campaing (pareene's piece on his manager was great)

xactly, reminds me of when liberals mysteriously 'liked' McCain

@JoseCanseco
hug for u lindsay graham

haha i need to follow jose again

I live two blocks from the former Jose Canseco Way.

Does that mean there's currently no Way for Jose?

something i've been waiting to read, theorizing on a possible path to victory for rubio - http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/upshot/how-marco-rubio-could-lose-all-the-key-early-states-and-still-win.html?rref=upshot&smid=tw-upshotnyt&smtyp=cur&referer=

i'm still skeptical - that's damn near the same path giuliani mapped out - but it is conceivable.

fun read here:

he calls cruz an "oleaginous debate champ"

"squamous deflated chump"

whey-faced shit eater

"Please let me die."

lol someone photoshop a "Please Kill Me" t-shirt onto JEB!

wau @ Jeb's expression. This is despair in human form.

Jeb! face looks how his brother's looked when he was informed about the planes crashing into the WTC. Except that Jeb!'s face looks like that ALL THE TIME.

Didn't know Michael Cera was on team Jeb!

Jeb! is caught in his own personal hell. There's no hope and no exit.

Hell is other Bushes

He's just sad because it's not 1966 and he's not at a James Brown concert. (Cheap shot...I haven't disliked him at all this cycle.)

i don't know why jeb is doing this to himself, he's already done all the aging of a two term president after only a few months on the campaign trail

The Tragedie of Jebbe Bushe, King of Florida.

I think even w/ his numbers where they are, bush might have a shot in a world where he hadn't picked up such a stench of a loser along the way. at this point you half expect his wife to leave him for donald trump.

yeah the way he has... idk what the word is, reified? all that gutter alphacuck shit about him is just awful. totally unable to handle it.

dk what the word is, reified reviled?

Just wait wait and see what Jeb!'s numbers do after the next debate when he sneaks up behind Trump as he's bloviating, splits him from groin to sternum with a katana, and continues answering questions in his effluvia-soaked Jos. A Bank.

I think it would be better for humanity if people didn't give into the middle school locker room bullying narrative surrounding Jeb Bush

I think it would be better for humanity if each member of the Bush clan were roasted on a spit

I'm sorry, at this point if I saw jeb bush on the street I would probably give him a wedgie

I'm pretty sure he'd let you and then say, "iatee, that is not what our party needs now."

The unpleasant sound Bush is emitting as he traipses from one conservative gathering to another is a thin, tinny "arf" -- the sound of a lapdog.

I think we should all remember Jeb! comes with the Florida Voter Seal of Approval, the land of hanging chads, Elian Gonzales and Terry Schiavo. His aura of harmlessness is because he has been out of office long enough that he hasn't done any real damage lately.

yeah, it couldn't happen to a much worse guy

so talk about how much of a piece of shit he is instead of how much of a hapless dork he is

His ex-CIA chief dad was a big wimp, too, lest we forget.

lucky we are that irrelevant he is

Remember that time he barfed in China like a total nerd? What an ineffectual nerd.
