Also, Ben Carson forever. I would vote for him just to keep the crazytrain going as far as it can.

I want the echo chamber to be more airtight than its ever been. I want Fox News/Alex Jones/Grudge Report turned on in every campaign office.

Too many of the joke candidates/serious-but-lets-face-it-lol candidates with the exception of JEB! are locked in a room full of yes men. They are running what they really believe is a serious campaign, and it will get more serious (and thus more hilarious to everyone else) the more positive feedback they get.

The problem is that none of them have a loving chance of actually winning the nomination, because the establishment has a way of shutting the whole thing down. But the longer they last, the more debates they run, and the more serious they seem, they'll drag down JEB! and any other possible candidates. After all, we will be treated to excellent photos of Jeb, Cruz, Walker, Paul, and the rest of the clown express on stage at the debate. And Jeb will look like he's an adult talking to a bunch of children to an audience of children and it will be glorious.

But it reads very much as he thought she asked if he would have done it with the intelligence at the time.

It's lovely because he said "I would" in response to "if you knew what we know now", then added the modifiers at the end. Stick the first few words into a campaign ad, and I think it can be this season's version of "the fundamentals of the economy are strong".

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:

It's doubly hilarious because the whole point of Mad Men is that everything, the people and the era, is a sham. The 50's and 60's are presented as idyllic eras before Americans lost faith in business and government, social turbulence divided the country, and the American dream felt out of reach. In reality, it sucked for most people and the woman, gays, minorities, and disadvantaged white men are just written out of the narrative.

Don Draper seems like a god. He's wealthy, successful, intelligent, a war hero, came from nothing, and has a beautiful wife and kids. He is the iconic 50's and 60's success story. Just like the whole era he turns out to be a sham too. His name isn't even Don Draper, his wife and kids hate him, he has a toxic relationship with women, his job is killing him, he wasn't a war hero, and even when he thinks he is being progressive and taking a stand, he still ends up being completely unable to empathize with anyone else. He is basically surrounded by people, but completely alone.

Apparently the message Rubio took away from the show is that the sham was actually great and we should go back to pretending.

It fits in well with the entire Republican Party, since their entire platform is based around marketing "Remember the 1950s? Let's go back to that" to people who don't know the difference.

King of Solomon posted:

Most of this is pretty standard Republican rhetoric, but the line about term limits caught me off guard. Did I miss that being a common Republican position somehow?

It's basically an attempt to more easily stack Congress with less RINO-y politicians, in their view. The older politicians have annoying perspectives on "compromise" and don't usually share the ridiculous views that many of their constituents now do. Any attempt to unseat them in the primary is (usually) beaten back thanks to the inherent incumbent advantage. Thus, they'd rather just purge the whole thing every so often so congressmen can better reflect the political attitude at the time, which fluctuates wildly anyway.

This comes up with freepers quite often, but they quickly change their tone when they are told that California's term limits actually caused the state to be taken over by Democrats. Leave it to them to make a full 180 degree turn when they inadvertently help elect traitorous unamericans democrats.

tl;dr i don't like my congressman but i can't beat him in the primary so let's just kick them out.

This actually seems like a really great idea, but I'm wondering how the show will get around the reality of Donald Trump LOSING to someone else. It seems like the Id of Trump could never let even the scent of loss anywhere near him, let alone on television.

I'm glad he filed, but part of me was hoping Trump would serve as an over-the-top challenge to the FECs authority. I was hoping he would call their bluff about campaign finance laws and see if anything happens - it would have been more notable than Bush's slimy approach to evading the laws, and it would have gained him lots of publicity.

He didn't lose, his advisers did. They all get fired for the season finale :colbert:
