Also, on a more serious note, have a PPP poll of Pennsylvania

Trump 24
Carson 23
Cruz/Fiorina 9
Jeb!/Christie 7
Rubio 6
Huckabee/Kasich 3
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum 2
Gilmore/Paul 1
Graham/Jindal/Pataki 0

From that Pennsylvania poll, head to heads:

Carson 52
Trump 38

I think goons might be treating Ben Carson the same way that most of the media and pundits have been treating Trump.

"Oh he will never make it, he's gonna flame out any day now"...that was 4 months ago.

Carson has consistently been in 2nd for about a month now and he is still climbing and most goons, myself included, are only treating him as an afterthought who will be washed away any minute now in a sea of stupid things he has said and continues to say.

I still think a big part of why Trump is doing this(other than the ego stroking) is to get back at the old money elites who have turned their noses up at him his entire life. Would go far to explain the absolute viciousness with which he attacks Jeb!

I would completely support this if his tax plan wasn't a huge giveaway to the old money millionaires and their soon to be estate taxless heirs.

Yeah no. You need to maintain a lead for much longer than a month before it solidifies. Not saying he will or won't flame out but he hasn't been under the spotlight long enough yet to make that call.

The GOP's fourth debate has been set as November 10th in Milwaukee on Fox Business, which is allegedly a cable channel. Up until literally yesterday that debate, which is less than a month from now, was "November TBA." This means that the 10/28 CNBC debate and this one will be just two weeks apart.

Scott Walker will likely take advantage of his homefield advantage...oh. :byewhore:

If she's planning on hitting those ship numbers with a whole bunch of LCSs configured for boring roles like minesweeping, then gently caress that. What we really need is a President willing to recommission the Iowas, builld F/B-22s, SV-22s, F-16XLs (make that block 70/72), arsenal ships, Zumwalts and RAH-66s (for the Iowas, natch).

It's alright, really. You know, at some point he was just a small baby, full of wonder and potential, not knowing that he would eventually be moulded into Rand Paul...

If I ever met him, I would give him a hug and whisper into his ear that, yes, there is no shame in loving and being loved.

I didn't know that. I thought it was really Rand.

Still, I stand by my interpretation that his views and outlook of life indicate that he never had the chance to formulate a single independent thought or idea in his life. He was probably conditioned to feel crushing shame and guilt if his mind ever strayed from his father's narrow and love-denying ideology.

That is when I would feel Rand's token resistance melting away in the heat of the moment like snow in the sunshine.
