is he wearing a tablecloth?

i had that sweater

it's amazing to me that christie's only material achievement in this race as been to cut marco rubio's hamstrings and hand trump and even bigger margin in NH.

I think everyone who lives/lived in a northern state owned that sweater at one time or another

chris christie was on fame, that's great

Is the National Review crowd so fervently anti-Trump because a) they think he would be a bad President, or b) they think his nomination would mean the Democrats would win up and down the ticket? Or is it both?

Both and: they do want to win, but they would prefer for someone like them to do the winning.

I have seen some righties saying something like: things are about to get really bad. When the country goes down the tubes, they'd prefer Democrat fingerprints to be on the disaster, so some future Republican can ride in as a sensible savior, saying "we told you so."

lol marco

rubes goin in https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/703257334588514305

i feel like trump is going to rhetorically beat the shit out of him during the next debate. he seemed to be blindsided a bit during last night's debate

‏@samsteinhp
George HW Bush showed up at the debate last night. He probably didn’t recognize the GOP he saw

@ggreenwald
Please. His campaign manager was Lee Atwater and he won with Willie Horton ads.

mocking trump seems like the right tact since hes a buffoon

Cooke asks you to consider your loins, Agincourt, and Churchill.

hahaha yesss more of this

weird to me that they dont just refer to him as "reality tv star the donald"

tv business man donald trump

repeatedly bankrupt rich kid donald trump

the orange mad boy

Yeah but he took out Rubio and then dropped out. So unless he backed Kasich or Jeb it makes little sense from any broader strategic point of view. Unless he really still thought he had a shot, and I doubt it.

Sure, but there was a primary inbetween - so his train of thought* would have gone "Take my shot, see if they still see a little of the loud bully that they loved a year ago" - then they don't - so he goes. I don't imagine he was thinking "This will be the end of my run" when he went for Rubio.

* I agree it might have been instinctive - no matter.

Poppy was at the debate? Was he booed?

i liked the post debate interview with trump where he suggested his christian faith might be the reason he is a target of frequent auditing

The illiterate part of bullshit filler like this column is how "It wasn't George H.W. Bush's party" in 1980 either.

i liked when trump said he wasnt going to leave people to die in the street and cruz started repeating whos gonna pay for it as if he had come up w the best own

xp, lol that was also classic

when hw came on screen one of my roommate's friends who was in the room was appalled at how fat he'd gotten. i think she might have confused him with w

Wait wait hold up, from that Rubio video: "'He is a chocker, and once a chocker always a..' choker? I guess that's what he meant to say. He spells 'choker' c-h-o-k-e-r, chocker"

Dude, that's how you spell it!

chockgate

i liked when trump said he wasnt going to leave people to die in the street and cruz started repeating whos gonna pay for it as if he had come up w the best own

yeah trump really realized he was in a good spot here..."so you *do* want people to die in the street?" (repeats 10 times to highlight where cruz decided to take this conversation)

I think everyone who lives/lived in a northern state owned that sweater at one time or another

Yup. I think mine was green. Had it by the mid/late 80s

the only thing is a decent % of gop primary voters are genuinely pro-people-dying so it was a little less effective than it would be in another forum

yeah, i kept expecting trump to say something like "Ted Cruz wants people to die in the streets. I don't. I won't debate him on that" or whatever, but maybe he thinks it's more useful to keep Cruz around

the fact that ted cruz was some high school and college debate champion seems mystifying considering his actual performance at these things, maybe they were all rigged or something

"donald trump doesn't want people to die in the streets" (check...mate)

because "debate" is for tryhard weirdos

yeah competitive debate is just a very strange formal thing that no normal person wld recognize as debate

a talking fast sport m/l

I am less mystified by Cruz being a college debate champ than I am by him apparently/allegedly being attractive to the women involved college debate. Like, even adjusting for the tryhard weirdo threshold of the debate world, you'd still think that being a repellent shitstain would be a turnoff...?

"nasty guy"

debate club prepares you for many things but not being a dogged, alienating weirdo who rings deep subconscious alarm bells in audiences of normal people isn't rly one of them xps oh good covered

it's hard to hate trump during those 10 seconds where he's saying "you're a liar and nobody likes you" to ted cruz's face in front of millions of people

punches shd be thrown at the next debate imo

ben carson shd attempt to inject trump w something

"can someone please attack me?"

he should inject him with ted cruz, like in innerspace

Maybe the women involved in college debate are not more normal and well-adjusted than the men?

or maybe when trumps going on about how much he likes the good doctor and how mean ted cruz was to him then carson just says "youre a gigantic human turd donald" this is my republican fanfic

"these guys are fighting so much it's almost like they're twins...separated at the head"
