I'm not the best at image manipulation, but this one with something like "Carson claims he's never lost a Mario" or something to that effect would be excellent.

Fiction posted:So, working under the assumption that the RNC is able to get their poo poo together and throw their weight behind a candidate the can get the base to vote for (like Rubio or Cruz), Reince and them don't actually have to worry about not getting their boy in the general? The RNC throwing their weight behind Cruz is a...highly unlikely notion. Cruz is a US Senator, to be sure, but he's basically been engaged in the political equivalent of pissing on the floor of Mitch McConnell's office since the day he was sworn in. He's the guy that almost singlehandedly ginned up a government shutdown and when the Republicans inevitably humiliatingly caved, took all the credit for himself and blamed them for their cowardice. Ted Cruz is someone who doesn't give a poo poo about anything or anyone other than advancing Ted Cruz up the greasy pole, and the other Republicans know he doesn't give a drat about them and resent him.

Off topic kinda, not really, but Mark Levin was on twitter defending Carson, hinting that he's going to bash Trump tomorrow afternoon. Not that Trump gives a poo poo what the night time drive guy thinks of him. In the end I think the smarter play for Trump would been to attack Carson on the issues(TPP, Amnesty, Second amendment, Statehood for PR, Washrooms for trans) and leave the media to do the attacking on the other stuff. But Trump gonna Trump.

The story of a man dragged unwillingly into the family business until it consumed him, who couldn't escape the shadow of his father. His older brother was the heir to his family legacy while his other brother is a perennial fuckup. It's an only-in-America story of powerful families involved in shady dealings and political power-brokering. And now he's referencing the Godfather movies.

This was done by a bunch of people who aren't allowed to talk to the Jeb Campaign at all. I'm not sure if that is a disadvantage or not.

President Carson would be a race between his tax policies legit bankrupting us and his empty suit approach to foreign policy ending up with someone like Cheney/Rumsfeld starting World War loving Three while we still have enough funbux to do so. I'm not sure where my predictit money would go but it definitely wouldn't go to "and the gays survive this one" I'd rather have Trump/Trump Bodydouble 2016 and his cabinet all filled with his buddies or whatever he thought would be funny before any ticket with an evangelical. Even the more viable ones this cycle literally just got done speaking at a "KILL THE GAYS" convention that Carson would've probably been at too if he hadn't been in a warehouse shilling his books Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Nov 9, 2015 |

Trump is a Presbyterian, aka an Evangelical Christian. Obama went to the United Church of Christ, aka he's an Evangelical Christian who was blasted hate speech about white people by Reverend Jeremiah Wright for 20 years straight. You're probably a bigot, Epic High Five.

I can't help but to think after watching the regular news highlights of SNL that the "call me on the cell phone" dance bit is the best thing Trump got out of this. It's the only time I've ever seen him prove he isn't completely insecure (just mostly).

I don't think it's going to be just one thing that sinks Carson, it'll be the steady deflation of his image and self-authored narrative losing credibility as more parts of his autobiography get dragged into the sunlight. The media narrative will probably start solidifying around either his insane beliefs, or his pathological lying. This latter aspect was most likely started when he lied so obviously about his Mannatec bullshit. The first real chink in his armor is that his image is made up of "outsider" "inspirational story" "christian" & "honest", remove the honesty and he's just Cruz but droopier.

One of the reasons Bevin won in Kentucky is that he ran positive ads while Conway's had the words "Pathological Liar" overtop Bevin's face.

Couple of fun articles in WaPo Why Carson is so intent on holding onto his murder attempt origin story quote:First, CNN published a story questioning the veracity of claims Carson has made about his life for decades. Carson has repeatedly described himself as a generally good but occasionally violently angry teen who came dangerously close to hurting people about whom he cared very much. What changed Carson? What made him the remarkably soft-spoken surgeon-turned-novice-politician — and, in some polls, the leading Republican contender for the White House — that we know today? To hear Carson tell it, it comes down to a few things: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news..._politics_pop_b quote:The list of GOP politicians and operatives willing to take open shots at Cruz has grown long: Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, former House speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio), Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), fellow Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. John Thune (S.D.), former senator Tom Coburn (Okla.) — and on and on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli..._politics_pop_b The above is also why Cruz is destined to flame out as well.

I don't watch TV so I can't comment on the TV ads, but I live just across the boarder, and I got pro-Bevin ads, that literally just talked about his Lieutenant Governor, Jenean Hampton. Then they would end with "she needs your help to fight the Obama agenda, so vote for Matt Bevin on November 4th!" Followed of course by the whole paid for by some organization that uses "Freedom" or "Growth" in it's name.
