if/when rubio doesn't win iowa or new hampshire or south carolina is he then officially 'in trouble' or is he still the 'well eventually it'll be him right? right?' plausible default?
i just looked into it and since the inception of iowa-new hampshire-south carolina sequence (which is admittedly not that long, iowa is 76 and south carolina is 80 for gop and 88 for dems) nobody has won the nomination for either party w/o winning one of those three.

I feel like Bush should a) shut down his campaign and b) commit ritual suicide. It's just pathetic at this point.

i mean it's still early but it's probably unlikely rubio wins iowa. and i can't see south carolina saving him nor for that matter the sec primary and if he hasn't been competitive w/ delegates by that point it probably too late for him. he's polling ok in new hampshire, second to trump but only barely ahead of cruz (12% vs 10.8%), and that's w/ him barely having visited new hampshire.

apparently a ton of jebbush sites have been parked on for years. jeb didn't want to pony up the $250k they were asking (apparently they'd had it since 1997!), and trump being the master negotiator was able to get them down to $250k.
― balls, Monday, 7 December 2015 20:25 (eight years ago) link
I have previously asserted that Jeb! doesn't really actually want to be running for president (it's a legacy thing...if his dad and brother had previously run a family-owned paint shop, he'd give it a go as well) and, as supported by evidence such as his hijacked website, I will continue to stand behind this assertion.

GOP has to boil down to rubio and cruz, right? I think it'll go all the way through the primaries though. it'll be hysterical to see if trump gets a majority of delegates but they still refuse to nominate him.

I can't imagine Trump winning Iowa tbh (NH seems more likely)... but what Trump looks like after a defeat is hard to gauge
― Οὖτις, Monday, 7 December 2015 20:51 (eight years ago) link
It's gonna have to be Rubio, ultimately. He's the only one that doesn't come off as profoundly stupid/a hapless nebbish/viscerally horrifying.
― The Featureless Mash That Was Once My Face (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 December 2015 20:52 (eight years ago) link
plenty of ways to get delegates that aren't related to primary/caucus votes
i am doubtful DT gets anywhere near 50% in any single primary
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 7 December 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
all of which I can't really imagine Trump succeeding at - dude's a populist not an apparatchik, so he either wins primaries/caucuses or its over

if anyone's gonna exploit non-primary/caucus delegate commitments it's gonna be Cruz

if a state's Repubs does give Big T 50% or more, i think it should be called "buying the pink rug"

nh went for buchanan twice so i can totally see trump taking it. evangelicals a bigger factor in iowa (ask jimmy carter) which is probably one reason cruz has been able to pick up the carson voters.
― balls, Monday, 7 December 2015 20:58 (eight years ago) link
trump doesn't have to take 50% of contested delegates fwiw though i do think if he doesn't have the majority and there's someone near him (esp if it's rubio) the superdelegates will throw it to someone/anyone else. good lord imagine the fallout and the carnage.

Trump is so hated by the GOP they'd find a way to ratfuck him out of the nom but he ain't gonna win it anyway. anomalies be damned.

At a friend's housewarming party on Saturday I hung out with a longtime bro who works for HRC's campaign. According to their "numbers," only Rubio worries them a bit.

I reminded my friend, who unlike me was born in Cuba, that Rubio will be hated by every other Spanish-speaking minority.

still haven't had a moment to ask a Trump supporter when they felt America was last truly great, and whether this greatness has slowly bled off or if there was a singular moment of transition
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 7 December 2015 21:31 (eight years ago) link
i'm not sure how i'd answer that question myself. is America "great" right now? no. when was it last great? i don't know...i guess it was never great.

yeah idk I think "greatness" is wrapped up in this whole idea of exceptionalism and drum-beating nationalism and patriotic bullshit
"make america an even better place to live" doesn't have much of a ring to it, though

You'd get a lot of "America was great in WWII" answers, overlooking the fact that during WWII the government ran almost everything, controlled wages, prices and rationed most commodities.
