GOP Primaries/Caucuses Discussions, Jokes and Predictions

[laklak]

Rubio did really well, only one point behind Trump. He could well be the dark horse.

[pErvinalia]

What's his IQ (Insane Quotient)?

[laklak]

Hell of a lot better than Cruz or Trump. He could pull the Hispanic vote, particularly the Cubans. That would pretty much guarantee him Florida. If he tracks a bit to the center he could win it, I think.

[pErvinalia]

Is he threatening to bomb or nuke anyone?

[laklak]

Not particularly, but he is GOP so he's got to talk tough. He's young, good looking, well spoken, and Cuban. Closest thing the GOP has to an Obama. The Cruz and Trump types would vote for him, he'd get a lot of old women and Hispanics, and the Repubs could play the race card. Now, that would be funny. What? You don't like Rubio? You racist!!

[Svartalf]

Which of Cruz or Rubio is the one that has the religious right behind him?

At any rate both are insane to want to reinstate the full embargo agaisnt Cuba

[pErvinalia]

Cruz is always blabbering about God and Jesus, but that might be just regular republitard.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign feels whimsical, like a practical joke or publicity tour gone awry. But it turns out the Donald is running a long con. A new report in Politico suggests Trump has been plotting this stunt for years, and he knew exactly what he had to do to succeed.

According to the report, Trump was approached two years ago by GOP operatives who wanted him to run for governor of New York. To their surprise, he declined but added that they would be useful when he ran for president. “I’m going to walk away with it and win outright,” Trump told the group, “I’m going to get in and all the polls are going to go crazy. I’m going to suck all the oxygen out of the room. I know how to work the media in a way that that they will never take the lights off of me.”

Trump knew all along that his celebrity and media savvy were sufficient to support his campaign. Although they didn’t believe him, Trump told the Republicans in that room in 2013 that he would dominate the race without spending much on paid advertising. From the report:

“’You can’t run for president on earned media,’ one attendee recalled telling Trump. The billionaire looked up, and paused for a long moment. ‘I think you’re wrong,’ Trump said. ‘Are you going to do all those little events at the Pizza Ranches?” another person asked, referring to the Iowa fast food franchises that are a staple of presidential campaign stops. ‘Maybe a little,’ Trump replied. ‘But it’s really about the power of the mass audience.’”

"I’m going to suck all the oxygen out of the room." Thieve more like.
