Needs to hit the next debate out of the park... Unfortunately for him I think Trump, Fiorina, and Rubio, are going to take all the oxygen out of the room again.

Because Florida depends so heavily on government spending, I could not, in good conscience, vote to shut down the government. But also I could not, in good conscience, vote to fund planned parenthood either, because of their practice of harvesting baby parts for their satanic rituals. Therefore, I have courageously decided to stand up for integrity, and do nothing. Vote Rubio; Change you can just let happpen!"

Carrasco posted:Not to be pedantic, but Carson doesn't have constituents. He never has, and I'll eat my hat if he ever does. Dude could easily run for a House seat in a deep red district of his pick and represent them until he dies or gets bored Heck even a Senate seat in a lot of states probably. Which makes me wonder why he didn't do something like that in the first place, but then again, I can guess the answer.

Cronodoculous posted:The whole "higher taxes for hedge fund managers" thing is so hilariously specific. Is his full tax plan going to include rate hikes for People That Kick Dogs, That Guy That Cut You Off In Traffic The Other Day, and The Actual Boogeyman too? From pages ago, but hedge fund managers (and private equity-type partnerships) actually get quite concessionary tax treatment. Since what they get paid (called "carried interest") is considered an investment rather than a salary, they get to use the long-term capital gains rate on all their personal income. Trump is saying that they shouldn't get to pay a lower rate than their cleaners (or, for that matter, him) just because of the technicalities of the type of money they earn.

Peachstapler posted:Surprised me when I read he ponied up the $40,000 yesterday to be on the SC primary ballot. That means everyone made it, but it also means Jim probably wasted a bunch of donor money when he wrote that check. Although when your only campaign cost is a Cox Internet bill it's possible you can stretch a campaign out. Not everyone... Pataki still hasn't paid up.

Billionaire Lifts Marco Rubio, Politically and Personallyquote:A detailed review of their relationship shows that Mr. Braman, 82, has left few corners of Mr. Rubio’s world untouched. He hired Mr. Rubio, then a Senate candidate, as a lawyer; employed his wife to advise the Braman family’s philanthropic foundation; helped cover the cost of Mr. Rubio’s salary as an instructor at a Miami college; and gave Mr. Rubio access to his private plane.

Suffolk/USAToday national poll: Trump 23 Carson/Fiorina 13 Rubio 9 Bush 8 Cruz 6 Kasich/Huckabee/Paul 2 Christie/Jindal/Graham 1 Gilmore/Pataki/Santorum 0 I love how we've steadily watched Jeb go from consistently hitting first to second to third and now fifth and people still insist that his campaign has fine fundamentals that totally compensate for a lazy gaffe-prone candidate who is totally out of touch with his party's ideology and is openly despised by most of the primary electorate.

My feel on this is that people are making the safe bet with a history behind them that shows the same thing over and over again. Me, I say past performance is not an indicator of future performance.  There is nothing that's been typical about this season. Is it so far fetched, standing where we are now, that Trump could take this thing? Like, it's not over 50%, or even 40%, but it's still non-zero and double digits imo.
