Fulchrum posted:Not really. Steele won his party the House in 2010, and they shitcanned him. It makes sense from a career politician perspective; you're going to get a ton of money win or lose, winning hard enough to earn a supermajority in all three aspects of governance earns you nothing but embarassment when you have to find an excuse not to make good on your promises.

California governor Jerry Brown would like to welcome the GOP candidates for tonight's debates. Welcome, 'Merchants of Destruction!' quote:As he struggles to bring under control devastating wildfires that he blames at least partly on global warming, California Governor Jerry Brown has an un-welcome message for the Republican presidential candidates gathering in his state for a debate Wednesday.

The democrat debate thing might be secretly genius? If trump flames out before them then Bernie can be the only one saying populist economic stuff and pick up some people interested in that part of trump. Also there will be a clearer picture of what Republican will win the thunderdome. This is the first primary I've been old enough to bother paying attention to though so I'm not sure how useful stealing media initiative is.

WBUR has a new NH poll. Likely voters, so this isn't one of Trump's better results, but still... Trump 22 Carson 18 Fiorina 11 Kasich 9 Bush 9 Cruz 5 Paul 4 Christie 2 Rubio 2 Walker 1 Huckabee 1 The rest: 0 So...Trump, Carson, and Fiorina in double digits in NH among likely voters. No one else in double digits. Scott Walker at a stunning 1%.

This is the first primary I've been old enough to bother paying attention to though so I'm not sure how useful stealing media initiative is. I'd agree on that but I don't see why there are so few late debates. The Republicans have 5 debates scheduled in February and March. The Democrats only have 2. The lower number of debates at that point heavily favors Hillary within the primary and gives up a lot of free media exposure to the Republicans.

Sheng-ji Yang posted:I think Carson will lose support after a few more debates. I don't think he can handle himself head to head against the other candidates, and now that he's the one that non-Trump candidates need to steal support from (since Trump seems to have locked down his) he's going to be a target. I think Carson has been rising in the polls because he hasn't spoken much, or hasn't been forced to talk about policy. I can't wait for the fucker to fall.

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:Hahahaha gently caress Scott Walker forever. Seems that the last few polls have had anti establishment candidates totaling around 51-52%. Bizarre time to be interested in politics, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. That being said, I organized a 30 person gathering at a local bar for the last debate and the bar owner wants me to do it at every debate. He offered up his function room no charge, and now I'm getting recognition for uniting politically minded people at big gatherings? Anyone live in the NH/MA coastal area who might be interested, haha?

Yeah I can't really explain Carson except for being sort of the similar candidate to the NotRomneys from 2012. I think the 'top-tier' candidates have been really damaged by Trump because most of their rationale is competence - they can beat Hillary/get things done for Conservatism/etc and they're getting beaten like a drum by someone they despise. It's incredibly damaging. Carson, on the other hand, is clearly Not Trump but he also doesn't have the same expectations that the top-tier candidates had to be a competent politician. It's not a problem for him that he hasn't beaten Trump. But I'm not sure he has much of a platform besides "well, I'm not Trump and he hasn't humilated me yet" that distinguishes him. Honestly I'm starting to believe Trump is going to pull it off. If he sweeps Iowa and New Hampshire, I no longer believe that people who support another candidate will refuse to support him.

You can identify a well trained bodyguard by how they hold their hands. A good guard will always keep their hands held up at about chest level when in a close contact situation.

This was what CNN thought would be a catchy image on their homepage a little while ago![]() They've all got big questions they'd like answered in the debates. Personally I imagine that Steven King is wondering the same things I'm wondering, thanks CNN.
