I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

can't believe carson is still in the race honestly.

Given his entrance in last week's debate, I'm given to believe that Carson has the tenacity and the incomplete grasp on reality to keep running for president even long past the actual election.

I expect "Carly" to retire to a HP graveyard in the next couple days.

I don't know if NJ can survive a depressed, vengeful Christie returning from the campaign trail.

Noted some simmering right wing talking points questioning the health of Bill Clinton, of all things. Based I guess on his appearance on the campaign trail? Anyway, I wonder what a sick Bill would do for/to Hillary's campaign.

Ben Carson (2.3%) is barely beating "Other" (1.7%)

when faced with this lineup of GOP candidates i would imagine "Other" has some appeal

xp Possibly worried that if we elect Hillary, she'll be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

xp She'd win. And they'd have to leave his past alone, because that would suddenly be disrespectful.

No, no. A good woman would leave her professional life behind to nurse her sick husband back to health.

This is my only contribution to analysis of the NH primary:

Noted some simmering right wing talking points questioning the health of Bill Clinton, of all things.

These questions were on the front page of the New York Times last week so I don't know if they're really right wing talking points.

the NYT and the Clintons do not have a cozy relationship, eephus

this seems kind of uncool

that's how primaries work, that's how political parties work, and that's why Hillary will win

TS: "Jews seem to want to vote for Bernie Sanders, why are they so foolishly voting against their community's best interest" vs "Black people seem to want to vote for Hillary Clinton, why are they so foolishly voting against their community's best interest"

TS: "Humans seem not to want to vote for robots, why are they so foolish and puny?"

kinda can't believe Jeb! did well enough to soldier on

Jeb Bush can't take a shit without Barbara's permission.

first i was amused when TPM described rubio's 3 or 4 point drop in the NH polls following Dispelgate with screaming headlines of RUBIO COLLAPSES IN NH!!!11!

then there was the little note late last night suggesting that rubio's campaign for president is effectively over.

now, it turns out that http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rubio-s-whole-career-probably-ended-last-night

I want to repost RubioDrinksWater.mov again because it's not clear to me that his political career had anywhere to go after that.

Jeb!'s campaign has prompted me to consider whether his parents more or less coerced him through his entire political career. Like, did he maybe just dream of opening a baseball card store or something and have the misfortune of being born a Bush?

poor, fabulously wealthy jeb bush

it still boggles my mind that this primary season has made me at times feel sorry for the architect of the Terry Schiavo fiasco

“They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” she said. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”

maybe by using evidence, eephus, i dunno

OTM

KM i can no longer read TPM without thinking of that josh marshall-style post you did on one of these threads

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/has-anyone-seen-Rubio-I-found-his-wallet-on-this-bridge

me and josh marshall are in a fight (that he doesn't even acknowledge!) because i've sent in like 8-10 reader tips/comments over the years, and i've never received a response despite making many excellent points

btw the Coates transcript is up at Democracy Now, if you can't listen.

"Yes, I will vote for Senator Sanders. My son influenced me."

Douthat needs no help.
