it's amazing to me that christie's only material achievement in this race as been to cut marco rubio's hamstrings and hand trump and even bigger margin in NH.

Is the National Review crowd so fervently anti-Trump because a) they think he would be a bad President, or b) they think his nomination would mean the Democrats would win up and down the ticket? Or is it both?

Both and: they do want to win, but they would prefer for someone like them to do the winning.

I have seen some righties saying something like: things are about to get really bad. When the country goes down the tubes, they'd prefer Democrat fingerprints to be on the disaster, so some future Republican can ride in as a sensible savior, saying "we told you so."

i feel like trump is going to rhetorically beat the shit out of him during the next debate. he seemed to be blindsided a bit during last night's debate

‏@samsteinhp
George HW Bush showed up at the debate last night. He probably didn’t recognize the GOP he saw

@ggreenwald
Please. His campaign manager was Lee Atwater and he won with Willie Horton ads.

Yeah but he took out Rubio and then dropped out. So unless he backed Kasich or Jeb it makes little sense from any broader strategic point of view. Unless he really still thought he had a shot, and I doubt it.

Sure, but there was a primary inbetween - so his train of thought* would have gone "Take my shot, see if they still see a little of the loud bully that they loved a year ago" - then they don't - so he goes. I don't imagine he was thinking "This will be the end of my run" when he went for Rubio.

* I agree it might have been instinctive - no matter.

Poppy was at the debate? Was he booed?

i liked the post debate interview with trump where he suggested his christian faith might be the reason he is a target of frequent auditing

The illiterate part of bullshit filler like this column is how "It wasn't George H.W. Bush's party" in 1980 either.

Wait wait hold up, from that Rubio video: "'He is a chocker, and once a chocker always a..' choker? I guess that's what he meant to say. He spells 'choker' c-h-o-k-e-r, chocker"

Dude, that's how you spell it!

yeah trump really realized he was in a good spot here..."so you *do* want people to die in the street?" (repeats 10 times to highlight where cruz decided to take this conversation)

Yup. I think mine was green. Had it by the mid/late 80s

Darkest Cosmologist junk (kingfish), Friday, 26 February 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link

the only thing is a decent % of gop primary voters are genuinely pro-people-dying so it was a little less effective than it would be in another forum

iatee, Friday, 26 February 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link

yeah, i kept expecting trump to say something like "Ted Cruz wants people to die in the streets. I don't. I won't debate him on that" or whatever, but maybe he thinks it's more useful to keep Cruz around

Karl Malone, Friday, 26 February 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link

the fact that ted cruz was some high school and college debate champion seems mystifying considering his actual performance at these things, maybe they were all rigged or something

I am less mystified by Cruz being a college debate champ than I am by him apparently/allegedly being attractive to the women involved college debate. Like, even adjusting for the tryhard weirdo threshold of the debate world, you'd still think that being a repellent shitstain would be a turnoff...?

it's hard to hate trump during those 10 seconds where he's saying "you're a liar and nobody likes you" to ted cruz's face in front of millions of people

Maybe the women involved in college debate are not more normal and well-adjusted than the men?

or maybe when trumps going on about how much he likes the good doctor and how mean ted cruz was to him then carson just says "youre a gigantic human turd donald" this is my republican fanfic
