Here's to it.
True, and I can't claim credit for this. There is an actual "Girther" movement on social media.
You know the networks are praying for this...and the best part is if he doesnt get the nom he runs third party and the ratings for the Clinton/????/Trump Debates go through the roof!
Here's to it.
Where's the Girth Certificate?

Halftime of bball, so I flipped over to the debate.
Rubio's stance on climate change: "China and India are going to pollute more so what's the point of being green?"

Pretty clear to me that we're going to have the anti-1992, where the *establishment* candidate with no shot of winning hangs around and draws off enough votes to hand the nomination to the whacko outsider.

Crabby old white guys ain't been a votin'? Well spank my @ ss and call me Charlie. Seems like old white people have the highest turnout every year.
Next you're going to tell me that guys who've been married a long time never watch porn.

Sadly, disagree. There will always be that segment of population. They just won't have the exact same prejudices that the current batch has.

It's shrinking. Slowly. And the acceptable level of violence is decreasing. A hundred years ago I would bet a healthy majority of whites would have approved of the summary execution of a black man found in the bed of a white woman.
The scum is always there, but the more we drain the fetid swamps the more it retreats.

Only because they are of a certain age, which happens to be baby boomers at the moment. Throughout time, society has always had about 30% of folks with extreme views...no reason to think that for the first time in history that will change. IMHO

That is big. Very big. The most important endorsement any candidate has received so far? And against an incredibly vehement establishment nonetheless.

Blatant front running! Might as well get on the bandwagon while you can. Besides, who else for Surgeon General in the new Trump administration?!?!

Is white guy turnout 100%?
Re: Campaign 2016 - in bridge, the trump cards are really wild.
Is ANY group's turnout 100%?
Joe,
1) Bush has meeting with Rubio, Cruz, Kasich. - why he hasn't endorsed Kasich yet is beyond me. Natural fit.
(2) Cruz gets out of FL. - Only benefits Trump. They're after the same voters.
(3) Rubio says go Kasich in OH. - Great, but a narrow win in OH doesn't change much if Trump romps everywhere else.
(4) Cruz in NC, MO, IL - all of which he probably loses.
There's a fundamental pundidiot misunderstanding about the GOP race, which is the winner take all states. In the Dem contest needing to win 55 or 60% of remaining delegates, when all delegates are allocated proportionally is a worthwhile comparison. But for the GOP race in winner take all states saying you need 55% of remaining delegates is apples to oranges comparison. Trump wins 100% of FL delegates if he wins the state, so the math changes dramatically whenever a winner take all state votes.

Well, I think that's just the definition of extremity. +/- 1 standard deviation is 67%, so 33% outside that are "extreme"?
But the extremity of the extremes is shrinking, in my view. Torture used to be ubiquitous, now only the criminally insane endorse it. Rape and murder of civilians taken in war was stated policy, now it's covert and limited to the third world.
Many people will continue to fear "The Other" because humans descend from territorial apes, but the actions deemed acceptable in acting on that fear have been tamed. Much as with religion, the more we come to see our beliefs as metaphorical rather than literal, the more civilized, sane, and kind we become.

So much for Reince Priebus' "let's whistle a happy tune" preamble to last night's debate.

Ohio and FLA are winner takes all. Outside of Rubio, no one else was in play in FLA besides tD.
Kasich needs Ohio more than Bill needs generic viagara.
The idea is keep tD below 50% in any state. Then at the convention you can start the groundswell that if tD can't win over 50% of the GOP, how can he win 50% of the fall vote?

I think that's Phase 2. Phase 1 is just to keep him short of clinching, without which all of this is going to be wasted effort.
The ideal scenario (for entertainment value and also the good of the universe) is that Drumpf's EAC is exactly that number right to the final primary. Then, if he's short there's blood in the streets in Cleveland, while if he just makes it then the screaming fit the RNC has been putting up to stop him will have carried all the way to the last possible day, eliminating any chance at reconciliation. Either could actually split the party, with either Drumpf taking his SS and going third party, or the arch-conservative wing clutching their guns and Bibles and headin' into Eden, yeah brother, without a look back at the burning husk of the GOP.
