Mitt Romney is only really racist in the way that a lot of rich white people are, so it's arguably not much of a disqualifying factor for him until the revolution comes and he's ritually murdered.

Surely the sun will flare brightly with the mirth of Huitzilopotchli when the Peoples' Hierophants offer the heart of the devil Romney to the highest altar of New Aztlan.

I guess our political system has been sick for about 190 years, then. The disease does not appear to be fatal.

Well, at America's founding the vote was restricted to landowning white men. Any pretense of democracy in this oligarch republic may prove the passing disease, eventually burnt out, once looked back on in the fullness of a few hundred years.

Fox News will turn all their guns on Trump if it looks like he has even a remote chance at winning the nomination. They like him now, when the entertainment value and ratings outweigh the risk, but once the voting starts they'll be pushing viability hard.

Old Man Murdoch's getting phased out of whatever role he once played in the day to day running of Fox. His sons are far more mercenary sorts of cretin than him, and I can only imagine the amount of coin they can milk out of giving the Donald whatever he needs to continue his dogged march to the White House.

Does anyone honestly believe Trump can't be bought? He's just more expensive. You don't get to be a billionaire by not taking other people's money.

I'm far from being a billionaire as you may have guessed, but in my experience the more money I get, the more money I want!

I mean he may have better policies than the rest of the field to the extent that he has policies, but I'm not convinced that the idea that he's too rich to be influenced by lobbyist money is really a thing.

for me it's more his proven track record of happily taking whatever money people are willing to offer him, squirreling it away in the byzantine financial recesses of the Trumpire, and then screwing over whoever paid him in ways they can do nothing about

i am sure he'll receive plenty of lobbyist money. he'll even promise to do what they want. but in the end he'll only do what Trump wants, for good or ill
