If your point is that Cruz looks like, and his voice sounds like, a guy straight out of central casting for "evil conservative" - I'd agree with you. So does Rand Paul, btw.
But I'm not seeing any evidence that Cruz is any more a sociopath than many politicians, including Barack Obama.

If I could just take any candidate and make them president, I would choose Cruz. He is the smartest and most principled conservative on the stage.

Correct. But smart people don't clerk for the Supreme Court, either. Really smart people do.
The libtards will disagree with Cruz's ideology, just as I would disagree with that of the liberal SC Justices and their clerks, but I would not disagree that they are really, really smart people. Cruz was also a debate champion at Princeton. He then became the Solicitor General for the State of Texas (the guy who argues before the Supreme Court) before becoming a Senator at the age of 42.
So yes, he is the smartest person in the GOP field. That's doesn't make him likable or electable - his lack of warmth, physical appearance, and tone of voice when speechifying are major weaknesses - but it sure doesn't mean he's dumb or a sociopath. Good grief.

Dlew12, there are several intervals between the smartest guy in a group and the dumbestRight. But there are plenty of other lawyers running for president -- they didn't clerk for the Supreme Court, and it's not because they turned down the opportunity.
Criticize Cruz all you want for his views or pandering or sinister intentions or for being out of touch or whatever, but the dude has an incredibly high aptitude.

So turns out making a campaign ad with you family of non-politicians can lead to some pretty awkward footage, especially when a news outlet makes a greatest hits montage of the most awkward moments. Actually, that seems pretty normal.

I also find that the most interesting part about this. What I find wholly uninteresting and unsurprising is that you glossed over this as something normal and assume hilz is breaking the law when in this case it appears as if ol' ted is sticking his head through a loophole.

This square headed thin lipped freak just came on Hannity talking about how Obama's ISIS air strike policy is a joke because he isn't bombing enough. He said we should bomb like we did during the Gulf War he also says that he didn't intend to say we should carpet bomb the entire area and kill civilians but we should bomb targets. Does that stupid sonofabitch know there were nearly 4,000 civilian deaths in six months in Iraq during the Gulf War? And if he wants to just hit strategic targets how in the hell is that different than what we're doing now? How does anyone take this freak show seriously?I think he knows all of that but also knows that the pubbie primary voters demand him say carpet bomb'em

Killing civilians seems like a pretty good way to make others interested in terrorist resistance against ppl killing innocent ppl.
Yes, fighting the terrorists is what the terrorists want! :runaway: Again, some civilian deaths are inevitable. War, and particularly these types of wars where the enemy deliberately hids among civilians, requires a balancing between inflicting maximum damage on the enemy and keeping civilian casualties as low as possible. In my opinion, Obama has erred much too far towards avoiding civilian casualties, to the point that his air campaign has been relatively ineffective.

You can't have it both ways. Some republicans, and I realize that this is mostly rhetoric and that frustrates me, act as if there are massive complexes of ISIS facilities in suburbs of these places. So if you want to do what the republican candidates say we should be doing you are going to have an overwhelming number of civilian casualties. Even in Iraq, when Saddam did have stand alone military complexes that we targeted, we still killed 4000 people in six months. It's accepted that the ISIS infrastructure is not nearly as organized and much more spread throughout the general populace. So then you're left with this pumpkin headed bitch saying on multiple occasions that he would carpet bomb this region and find out if sand glows in the dark, then when pressed on it backtracks, when that's exactly what his policy proposes. If Cruz is as smart as pubs say he is he has to know that dropping thousands of bombs on Raqqa would result in tens of thousands of civilian casualties and would likely result in an entire region with Russian support galvanizing against us and we certainly would not have the support of anyone else other than Israel. So does Cruz not know this or is he pandering to the majority of his voting base that are too stupid and/or filled with blind hate for brown people to take 10 minutes to read?

It doesn't appear so but my frustration stems from the fact that no one is willing to say what the right thing is and it's that this is a new threat and we don't quite know how to go about dealing with this without alienating some partners in the middle east and potentially creating more enemies. The prudent thing to do is to for now keep hitting targets that we know exists and just give the intelligence time to work before we can do more, but the sad state of American politics does not suffer prudence and patience. Jeb has essentially acknowledged this, so has Lindsey Graham but who cares. I'm fairly sure Marco, Grimace, Carly, Kasich, and Rand all know it too but are too big of cowards to admit it. BTW if this was a republican administration in an election year I'm certain that the republicans and a few democrats would still do the same thing.

if you want more bombs, you need more targets. if you want more targets, you need people on the ground identifying those targets. you can't see everything from a satellite. if someone is talking about increasing the bombing without sending ground forces, they're either engaging in political theatre or lying.

Why Trump - and I think to maybe an even greater extent, Cruz - can probably beat Hillary: they'll bring a ton of angry folks to the polls who either don't usually vote or have voted Democrat in the past. If Hillary loses even a couple rust belt states like PA, OH, and MI, she's toast. Cruz might be better situated than Trump to both bring these folks into the fold and hold onto the "establishment" vote.

That is a lot of hopeful thinking. We don't even know yet if Trump can turn out primary voters. The demographics for anyone in the Republican field beating Hillary are redic bad.
Let's say Hillary loses mean -15 is there any doubt that she outperforms any Republican candidate in the field by at least 15-20 points? This election is not interesting in the least.

Post by: K-S-U-Wildcats! on January 01, 2016, 08:45:28 PM
As for the general, I think Hillary will perform worse than the other Democrats in the rust belt states, and I believe a hard-liner on immigration enforcement will perform better than recent Republicans in this states. Combine this factors and a Trump or Cruz could very well win OH, PA, and perhaps Michigan, which could very well decide the election.

As for the general, I think Hillary will perform worse than the other Democrats in the rust belt states, and I believe a hard-liner on immigration enforcement will perform better than recent Republicans in this states. Combine this factors and a Trump or Cruz could very well win OH, PA, and perhaps Michigan, which could very well decide the election.
Who in the hell in those states do you think would vote for Obama but not Hillary?

If Cruz wasn't a religious extremist he would be a far more attractive candidate
But that's what he is, that and being a complete bad person. It's like saying that if Bernie Sanders looked like Marco Rubio he'd be up 20%.

Why Trump - and I think to maybe an even greater extent, Cruz - can probably beat Hillary: they'll bring a ton of angry folks to the polls who either don't usually vote or have voted Democrat in the past. If Hillary loses even a couple rust belt states like PA, OH, and MI, she's toast. Cruz might be better situated than Trump to both bring these folks into the fold and hold onto the "establishment" vote.

That is a lot of hopeful thinking. We don't even know yet if Trump can turn out primary voters. The demographics for anyone in the Republican field beating Hillary are redic bad.
Let's say Hillary loses mean -15 is there any doubt that she outperforms any Republican candidate in the field by at least 15-20 points? This election is not interesting in the least.

I'm simply making an observation that Clinton is losing or in a dead heat with several GOP candidates despite having far greater name recognition.
A great many people, maybe most, don't even pay attention to politics until a few weeks before the presidential elections. But everybody knows who Hillary Clinton is, and most already have an opinion of her. Thus, she has very little upside, or room for improvement. And her negatives are atrocious. By contrast, candidates such as Cruz and Rubio have far lower name recognition at this point and far more upside. Running even at this point in the race against candidates very few people know anything about should be very concerning to Democrats.

This is why Cruz (or Trump, but please don't let it be Trump) can win rust belt states against Clinton. There is a bipartisan desire among the electorate for stronger border enforcement.

That's cute but it won't play in the rust belt. How many presidential elections do republicans have to get run in before they understand these social issues are killing them? You think Joe in Toledo gives two shits about the Rio Grande? The ones that do are already republican voters anyway. Your people need to find new voters in those states and using illegal aliens as a scare tactic isn't going to do it if the democrats can convince voters that republican policy is pushing American jobs the other way over the border. Your party can't agree on immigration reform, maybe he should take a rough ridin' hint and leave it alone for now, he's vulnerable there anyway.

You're getting awfully touchy about this. We'll just have to disagree. I think jobs and the economy are far more important to most voters than social issues. And I think there is real (and justified) fear among "blue collar" voters about immigration killing jobs and driving down wages.
I also think working class voters don't particularly want a woman president - especially Hillary. Despite her being the overwhelming favorite for the nomination, many key unions have withheld their endorsements. Now of course she'll ultimately get them, but the fact that they're so reticent is telling.
Combine these two factors, and it is quite likely that Hillary will do worse in rust belt states than Barack Obama did. If you just want to cover your ears and shout curse words, go for it.

Also Hillary is a pathalogical liar and that won't go over well with blue collar people who actually have values as Republicans continue/increase their efforts in making sure everyone is aware of how much she will look you in the eye and blatantly lie.
That doesn't make her particularly unique with regard to presidential politics

Another post of misdirection and obfuscation. I'll take it as your tap out.Yeah those are arguably "lawless" acts which are debateable. You could mildly claim he wasn't acting in a constitutional manner since he isn't upholding his oath the way you want him to, but you still failed to list anything that smacked against the constitution itself. If you really want to educate yourself read up on Jackson and get back to me when Obama tells the SCOTUS to stuff it and then proceeds to destroy a civilization.
:lol: I'm going to nominate this one for the Libtard HOF. Here's the thing, silly, the President's duty to faithfully execute the laws isn't in his oath - it's in the Constitution. Article II Section 3: "He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." He takes an oath, written verbatim in the Constitution, to faithfully execute his office. It is the Constitution that establishes the separation of powers between the Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary. When Obama does not take care that the laws are faithfully executed or creates his own laws unilaterally - as he has in the examples presented above - he is being unconstitutional.

You asked a question you already know the answer to, but only an idiot would believe there's no differences. In Libya, we went and blew the place up and then left. The massive issues this has created on both a regional and global level speak for themselves. In Syria, we've purposely destabilized the entrenched regime, and provided aide and material support to people who wish to both act in a regional and global manner against U.S. interests, and created a power vacuum that now feeds the exportation of terrorism on a global basis from entities who are not political actors, but theocratic actors.Dax is absolutely right. Obama and MG and Kerry are totally to blame for causing a cauldron of chaos to develop in the Mideast that let ISIS develop. When this pissadent didn't bomb the ISIS oil wells because he thought the environment was more important than protecting America, he proved he is a weak excuse for a commander.
Spare us the Capt. Obvious "everybody has done it" bullshit.
LOL @ MIR, such an idiot.

Interesting question. I do it because it is his given his name and his father is on record saying he's upset that his son rejected his given name. Do I wish he wasn't running away from his Latino heritage, hell yes, and his father feels the same way. If calling that man by his given name makes me sound like a bigot accusing a Christian of being a Muslim then oh well.

i was not implying that you were, just wondering why. i don't pay enough attention to him to know that he is running away from his heritage. it's ironic because if he was a (D) instead of (R) there would be herp derps calling him Rafael everywhere, but for a different reason.

Terry Branstad is absolutely Iowa. There is good reason why Branstad has been the governor of Iowa longer than any governor of any state in the history of this country. Anyway ethanol is crap and the subsidies are a colossal waste of money.

There is plenty I don't like about Cruz, but this is just stupid. If I was being filmed all the time there would be plenty of times I would get caught with my kid not liking me much.

Yeah, listening to that made me sad and pissed simultaneously. I wholly disagree that something like infidelity has anything to do with political office. The tabloid-like transition is the worst. I hated the reasoning given by the journalist interviewed for why the press made such a switch. How he said they all felt like they should have dug deeper and should have known and warned someone. How he made it sound like they were asleep at the wheel. I mean, the comparison of this to Watergate and Nixon's paranoia is outrageous. That is such bullshit. Dig deeper, as a journalist, and if anything important is there, report it. That doesn't include if he is a good husband, dad, son, etc. That is just a bullshit cop out to cover up the fact that they are doing it to sell more content. Honestly, this is the first Radiolab I have listened to that made me a little angry with Radiolab for presenting it all like this and not calling bullshit on that dumbass.

Agreed, and I think part of what made me uncomfortable about was Cruz's insistence in continuing the obviously staged moment. I remember being a pain because my Dad traveled a lot when I was growing up. Most parents would understand, but this moment just continued in a really weird way.more on the weirdness of the Cruz/Daughter thing.

Yeah. If we had better boundaries about this we could have a great president like Colin Powell (family privacy I mean). It would be great if people kept this in the background if they are doing a good job. Oddly though I don't like Clinton for his lying simply because he was under oath. It's weird that the process got that far to begin with though.

One of the best ads I have seen was actually for a Canadian election (I think the guy they were against is current PM anyway). It was a bunch of people sitting in a board room like they were a hiring committee and were talking about the guy and decided he just didn't have enough experience to be offered the job. Jeb could do something similar with Rubio, but Cruz couldn't (cause pot/kettle)

If you contribute nothing to society, why should you get to vote? Why is it a birthright instead of something earned? I think if it had value it would have importance, and we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in today.

In a lot of movies that take place in the future there's two classes of people, citizens and everyone else. To become a Citizen you typically have to contribute something to society (e.g., enlist in the military to fight against aliens, devote your life to civil service, pay taxes, etc.). If you don't want to do whatever is required to be a citizen, no biggie, you just don't get to vote.

We do not technically have a democracy, we have a representative republic. This representative republic is increasingly undermined by powers delegated to bureaucracies. We don't vote on hardly anything.
I don't thinks it's in anyway unreasonable to only allow "stakeholders" the right to vote. Out society selected a representative republic as its form of government. It is free to change that form at any time. An increasingly larger segment of the voting population (which is already restricted by age, felon etc) does not participate in society, never has and never will. They simply reap the benefits of living in the country. Why should they, by birthright, be entitled to a say in who represents the people who fund or run the government? What is so abhorent about having to earn that right? If we want people to value and hold accountable the government that rules our society, there should be some effort or sacrifice put forward to earn the most basic right of participating in that process (ie, a stakeholder).
What the metric is, I don't know. $1 in taxes paid, some civil service, teach school, highway cleanup, I don't know. I just think the idea that you're alive so you get a vote is extremely antiquated given the current state of our government and society.

i loved it when rubio shoved cruz's spanish in his narrow fat face. i'm loving it even more when all these anglophones are giving bad translations of what cruz said and lolling at his accent (which was fine. not cuban, but fine).
the whole thing is fascinating political tactics as well. it a great question whether it helps or hurts cruz to speak spanish. and whether it helps or hurts rubio to show off that he does.
I read a good article that discussed that this runs pretty deep in the hispanic community. There was a time when a lot of immigrants moved here and purposefully did not teach their children their cultural heritage in order for them to fit in. It seemed like the best idea at that time in our country. Now, there is a kind of snobbishness by those who kept their heritage. They tend to look down on those who can't speak their "native language" because it is a sign they have abandoned their heritage.
Whether or not that was Rubio's goal doesn't change that it brought that fight to the forefront. It most likely won't change a lot of voters minds, but it does show that you can't just group Rubio and Cruz together as the hispanic candidates. It shows that even in a small way, Rubio is more in touch with his heritage than Cruz is.

The idea you should have to earn the right to vote is a scary thought IMO. The biggest problem is that once you determine a certain standard should apply, there is very little stopping that standard from being ratcheted up to exclude more and more people. In fact, it's really not hard to imagine at all.
Say we've got 100 million folks who meet your proposed "right to vote" standards. What stops the top 70 million from saying, "my vote should count more than those people that are just barely hovering in the bottom few percent, let's raise the standards and cut out the bottom 30 million"? You could keep shaving off the bottom 10-40% in the same way until you are basically just left with an oligarchy.
You say our government is free to change its form at any time, but it could not do so democratically if you can remove people's right to vote by no fault of their own.
And FTR - I do think the no felons voting thing is BS.

You're skipping the philosophical question and replacing it with conjecture.
Furthermore for one hundred years only white men could vote. Then society expanded the right to vote to men of color, then to women. The problem you're complaining of has existed and never come to fruition.
I want to know why you think someone who only reaps the rewards of society, without enduring any of the sacrifices, should be allowed to vote by birthright.

Because the policies of the country should be for the benefit of everyone, not just those who are determined to have "contributed."
I think as a practical matter, the freeloaders you are concerned with do not turn out to vote in substantial numbers anyway. However, the fact that they can vote still means something.

Again, conjecture. Im not talking about different rules for the voting and non-voting classes. That alone affords the necessary protections against your speculative abuses (interests are alligned). I'm just wondering why people who do not participate in society should be allowed to vote. That seems to undermine the system.

Once you make that change, you allow for the possibility that a small few people have 100% of the voice in government. Maybe it wouldn't actually happen, but just creating the possibility is abhorrent enough.
Even when only white adult males could vote, it was still considered a right. Never have we had a system where ability to vote was based on variable (and almost certainly arbitrary) factors.

When the constitution was drafted there were no provisions as to who could and couldn't vote do it was left up to the states. Many states required you to be a white land owner to vote but there were exceptions. I believe in New Jersey women and feed slaves could earn the right to vote. The first federal provision on who could vote didn't come until after the civil war, the 15th amendment. Which was intended to give blacks the right to vote but obviously there was more work to be done there.

I feel like I'm dealing with a 5 year old who just keeps saying "why" (but also saying "that's just conjecture").
I'm saying it is per se problematic because it allows for a fundamentally non-democratic system. Sure, if the population got to decide who has a voice in government it could end up better, worse, or neutral compared to how things are today, but that is a different type of government than what we have. It is also one I think is far more capable of being abused, but you don't have to believe that to see my point.

I'm not completely sure if that initially was the motivation or not. I think that is a slightly cynical view that the initial motive was to disenfranchise, but that very well may be the case. The poll tax era after the fifteenth amendment was clearly meant to disenfranchise after the pool of voters expanded.

I've asked you several times why you think voting should be a birthright, and likewise what is abhorrent about earning the right to vote, and every time you've responded with some slippery slope unfounded conjecture that if you had to earn the right to vote we'd end up with an oligarchy.

In a lot of movies that take place in the future there's two classes of people, citizens and everyone else. To become a Citizen you typically have to contribute something to society (e.g., enlist in the military to fight against aliens, devote your life to civil service, pay taxes, etc.). If you don't want to do whatever is required to be a citizen, no biggie, you just don't get to vote.I could get behind this.
I used to think it was just an interesting, common, predictable sci fi thingy. Now I look at how stupid and useless many of the people are who vote, and how they rough ridin' register bums to vote and then absentee vote them, and it doesn't seem so far fetched.
If you contribute nothing to society, why should you get to vote? Why is it a birthright instead of something earned? I think if it had value it would have importance, and we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in today.

ted cruz claimed to have the backs of first responders in his closing statement last night...but opposed and voted against the zadroga act.
The mis-information many of you operate under is staggering...
The causes of Zadroga's death are under dispute. Gerard Breton, a pathologist of the Ocean County, New Jersey medical examiner's office, conducted an autopsy in April 2006, and he reported, "It is felt with a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the cause of death in this case was directly related to the 9/11 incident." This attribution made Zadroga, 34 years old at the time of his death, the first 9/11 responder whose death was directly linked with toxic Ground Zero substances. Breton's autopsy found what he described as "unidentified foreign materials" in Zadroga's lungs, which were identified by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C. as talc, cellulose, calcium phosphate, and methacrylate plastic; However, the examination did not compare the particles found in his lungs with actual dust from the World Trade Center site.
The New York City Medical Examiners Office asserted in October 2007 that Zadroga's death was not related to his time at Ground Zero, with Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch and another medical examiner signing a statement that "It is our unequivocal opinion, with certainty beyond doubt, that the foreign material in your son’s lungs did not get there as the result of inhaling dust at the World Trade Center or elsewhere". Hirsch concluded that Zadroga died from self-injection of ground drugs, with Hirsch finding severe scarring in his lungs that he determined was caused by cellulose and talc granulomas and stating (through a spokesperson) that "The lung disease he had was a consequence of injecting prescription drugs".
In response to the City Medical Examiner's autopsy results, Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg stated "We wanted to have a hero, and there are plenty of heroes, it’s just in this case, science says this was not a hero" at remarks made after receiving an award from the Harvard School of Public Health, but backed away from his earlier characterization at a news conferences stating that "This was a great N.Y.P.D. officer who dedicated himself — put his life in harm’s way hundreds of times during his career — and you can use your own definition."

Hirsch's assessment runs counter to the first report, and a third assessment that was performed later by Michael Baden. even if that's correct, though, your rationale is "let's deny healthcare to all 9/11 first responders because the guy they named the bill after may have died from something else?" that's the hill you want to die on?

ha! it's essentially workers comp. when you work for a private company, the company pays that. when you work for the gov't, of course that money comes from us.
what this highlights is that Cruz doesn't care about first responders as much as he says he does. same way that republicans are eager to send young men and women off to war but don't want to pay for veteran's benefits.

it's not mandatory spending, it's allocated funds, so why the eff are you caught up on the 75-year limit? if the money isn't all spent, the remainder will get rolled back into some other program. but i'll play a little logic game with you. let's say that a first responder was pregnant at the time. if the child has medical issues as a grown up on account of their mother's exposure, shouldn't that also be covered?

Actually, being a decent human being occurs when one stands-up for taxpayers and limits how much money is extorted from them for the seemingly unending causes that liberals try to foist upon them.
Virtue occurs when YOU decide to give of your own resources to aid another human in need, NOT in using government power to force other people to give their money for those causes.

Yeah, either MIR isn't actually watching these debates or he's not listening well enough. Cruz is actually one of the very best candidates when it comes to actually answering the question asked. He'll often start the answer on a different tangent but he almost always brings it home to answer the question that was asked. He is ridiculously good in the debate format.

Quote from: n silver
The very earliest returns in Louisiana, which were substantially composed of votes cast before election day, showed Trump at 48 percent, Cruz at 23 percent, and Rubio at 20 percent. Now? It’s Trump 43, Cruz 34 and Rubio 14, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State. The differences suggest a major gap between early votes and election-day returns, with Cruz surging in the past couple of days at the expense of both Trump and Rubio.

Exactly. Cruz wins Kansas and Maine. Trump will hang on to win Louisiana and Kentucky, but he is fading fast and would have lost both states to "Crubio." While Crubio used to be a hypothetical, it is quickly becoming a reality as Rubio voters jump to Cruz earlier and in much greater numbers than expected. Very good night for Cruz. Very bad night for Trump.

MIR, you're a Sanders supporter. Don't lecture me on "math." You're also wrong, but the number of delegates earned yesterday is beside the point. Trump still holds a significant lead in delegates and will increase that lead if he ekes out winner-take-all FL, but yesterday indicates that Trump is stalling whereas the anti-Trump is coalescing behind Cruz. Trump is still the favorite, but this race just got a lot more interesting.

we'll see what happens in idaho, but so far cruzmentum looks like an artifact of small sample size.
What? It looks like another very solid night for him. He's made the case this week that he's the only guy who can go toe to toe with Trump - and it looks like he can beat Trump or at least carry more delegates into the convention if Rubio and Kasich fold.
Meanwhile, except for the Deep South, Trump remains mired in the mid-30s.

Trump had a "great night" in one state. He's stalled in the mid-30s pretty much everywhere but the Deep South. The anti-Trump vote is still split three ways. But he's in real trouble of Rubio and Kasich drop out.

the only way both rubio and kasich drop out is if they both lose their home states. if they both lose their home states, trump is going to have a very sizable delegate lead.
i'm not sure if cruz's game is to hope kasich wins and then cut a deal with him or if he thinks he can still catch trump in a three-way race with kasich and trump. either way, he's not in great shape.

Trump will win FL, but Kasich is going to carry OH. Rubio will drop out after FL (and even if he doesn't, he's basically a nullity at that point). Kasich will cut a deal with Cruz to drop out after winning OH in exchange for VP. That's all Kasich is playing for at this point anyway. It's a win-win for Cruz and Kasich. Clears the field and makes for a formidable general election ticket. Cruz's firey conservatism to rally the base coupled with Kasich's ah shucks pragmatic rust belt governor schtick.
That leaves Trump in a two man race against Cruz, mired in the mid-30s, and well behind pace to reach enough delegates to secure the nomination. Which means Cruz heads to the convention with the most delegates (and in this scenario he still has an outside chance of securing enough delegates outright).
So yes, the way I see this playing out, Cruz and Rubio are right where they need to be tonight.

the simplest, and thus most likely, outcome of gifting trump florida's 100ish delegates is that trump rides them to 1237.

There is a huge division in the party and a lot of people on either side are going to be REALLY upset about the nomination. The nominee will either be a repulsive, self-interested outsider who does not share the party's values or else it will be someone essentially appointed by the party via disenfranchisement of the plurality. It will be fantastic!
Wouldn't a brokered convention be similar to a possible situation where Bernie wins more delegates but super delegates push Hillary over the edge?
Post by: catastrophe on March 09, 2016, 09:21:31 AM
Kasich has repeatedly from what I can tell say he isn't going to be a Vice President. I think he is going full brokered. Or maybe that is just a good bargaining position?

If Bernie wins the majority of pledged delegates the super delegates will change to Bernie. We have been over this already.

I really don't understand why Republicans refuse to get behind Trump. It seems they hate him more than Hillary. If I were a republican I'd go throw Ted Cruz in a swamp somewhere because Hillary will kick the ever loving crap out of him. There isn't a single independent or Reagan Democrat that is going to vote for Cruz, not a damn one. If by some freak accident Trump loses, would take his death at this point, the establishment will turn on Cruz too. He is benefiting now because he doesn't yell at women reporters and his supporters aren't beating people up. In a general when it is all about policy he will get housed.
Post by: MakeItRain on March 09, 2016, 11:01:20 AM
Rumors are swirling that Rubio's internal polling shows he will lose Florida badly, and he may suspend his campaign today or tomorrow. I think there's a good chance he does so, but I'm not at all sure he's going to cut a deal with Cruz. Again, he's just not worth much to Cruz at this point.
Cruz's better path, as I've said, is cut a deal with Kasich.
Yeah, Trump is kicking his ass in polling but he's beating Cruz, and we know how much Rubio loves finishing in second place. No one is cutting any deal with Cruz, they can't stand him.

It's not really funny. It's pretty sad, imo. Not only are we super screwed this election, but Trump has shown a new path. Don't think for a second that this doesn't show a bunch of unqualified ppl how they may have a shot at a successful run at whatever office they have their eye on simply by being the loudest, most unprofessional, most insulting bad person in whatever room they find themselves.
I think it's only working for Trump because he was already a celebrity before he started running for office. When career politicians try it they go down like Little Marco.

He's really setting the stage for his next election run in 4 years.
If hill wins in a landslide, it won't matter. The party will have to change between now and then and I doubt they change to be further to the super sociopath crazy zealotry side of the spectrum, thus moving away from your guy Ted. I mean, they are mostly there now and they have Trump.
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on July 21, 2016, 09:22:41 AM

It only appears that way now. After Clinton wins big and the democrats gain control of congress, Ted is going to look a whole lot better.

Its just too bad that his ilk want to pervert and distort that by trying to make it a freedom issue to discriminate and what not. If the Pubs could stick to the freedom and liberty and stop rough ridin' it up with Jesus and other such nonsense, they would kill, imo.

I wish the stories didn’t focus so much on the fact she was a police officer, given that this was clearly done outside of that capacity. That said, of course she should be fired given she has objectively bad judgment.Well I think the fact that she was explicitly trained to act responsibly with firearms and did this illustrates how terrible both guns and cops are

If Bernie Sanders were to challenge Ron Pearlman to some sort of physical challenge against another congress member in defense of Nancy Pelosi, that would also be hilarious, dax.
That's true as well. But Rage, your guy Ron immediately turned the feat of strength challenge into politics.

Everything? Maybe not. But I'd put it at 97% or higher. And I think when people say "everything" or "everyone" we all know it's hyperbolic. Just how you say "all liberals" are a certain way, ya know?
I mean, homeboy didn't speak up with Trump called his wife a dog so I'd say that definitely points in the direction of "agreeing with everything".

I think we an all agree that Ron Perlman made this political with his politically oriented response to the 3rd party feat of strength challenge.

So it is the official republican position that Ted Cruz's wife is a dog and his dad killed JFK?
I've never laid eyes on Mrs. Cruz and I had never heard a peep about Cruz's dad and JFK until this came up.
You can always check the RNC website.
But that doesn't change the words of a self professed "life long" Democrat calling out a politician for falling in line with his party. While the DNC ranks are filled with boot lickers, who, even when presented with hard evidence that their own party crap all over them. Still fell in line for the old white racist war monger(s).

he doesn't say that he was always planning on coming right back, but it's implied on a quick read. cleverly worded.

This is way more press than Ted Cruz deserves.

you could sort of make the argument that he doesn't have anything directly to do with how texas is run but he absolutely has a massive influence.
And I'd argue he could be doing quite a bit to help in this case if he offered.

I would like to think that Texans will remember sitting around in the cold without power for days on end but they probably won't care about that in the face of whatever far left socialist runs against "middle of the road" Ted.
They won't.
Most of rural Texas was unaffected by the power outages.

Yes, and it's important for you outsiders to remember that internal Texas politics is driven primarily not by the denizens of the major cities, but by the long tail of podunk towns. See, e.g., the State's posture towards cannabis in any form.

What a super shitty statement he put out. He really should have just been like, "I made a mistake. I'm coming back."Why don’t you believe that he hopped on a plane, suitcases in tow, just to make sure they got down to Cancun ok, and then turned around to fly back the next morning. Seems plausible. It’s not like airplanes are uncomfortable.

This is the part that my brain will never comprehend. I can sort of see voting party lines all the time because you are too stupid to try and look in to anything. I can see voting party lines because you are stupid and continue to believe the evil liberals are going to take your guns. However, even stupid people shouldn't like to be made fun of or disrespected right to their faces. These dudes flat out call them morons at the rallies and tell them that they could shoot one of them and they will all still forge ahead without even considering any of that? It is just bizarre. Hell Cruz is the best example as Trump called his wife ugly and he still swings from his balls at every occasion.

What kind of a beta loser doesn't even suggest himself to become President of Texas in his bullshit treason scenario? Ted Cruz, that's who.
Jo Rogan comes in from California smoking weed and drinking hemp tea and cruz is ready to hand him the presidency of his moron break away state.

Rogan must have called Ted's wife ugly too, apparently that's all it takes to get Ted to piss himself and bow down to someone.

Ted cruse is a laugh factory
Quote
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz called White House press secretary Jen Psaki 'Peppermint Patty,' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rides a 'broom' and got the Conservative Political Action Conference crowd to boo Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and chant 'Let's Go Brandon.'
The Texas Republican deployed a number of zingers as he got 'philosophical' at the conference, telling those attending the annual affair that the battle the nation is currently fighting it between 'power and liberty.'
'The two are in fundamental conflict. We are seeing it everyday: Vaccine mandates versus doctors and nurses, mask mandates versus kids in school, Spotify versus Joe Rogan, GoFundMe versus Canadian truckers,' he said.
Justin Trudeau,' he said, as the crowd chimed in with loud boos. 'Let's pause for a second and observe that is the first time in recorded history that any Canadian has illicited that much of a response from any crowd on planet earth,' said Cruz, who was born in Canada to an American mother.
Quote:
'Let me say one final thing - In January of 2023 I am looking forward to walking down the hallway of the United States Capitol. And bumping into a little man wearing overalls. He's carrying a screwdriver and coming to change the sign on Nancy Pelosi's door,' Cruz said.
'And Nancy is going to get on her broom - OK, no, no that's not fair, that's not fair - she's going to get on her private jet, called the U.S.S. Broom and fly back to California and we're going to send Chuck Schumer back to New York City,' the Texas senator continued.
'And we're going to tell Joe Biden it's 2025 and he'll just wander back to Delaware,' he added.
Cruz predicted 'change is coming.'
'It is powerful. You wanna know how powerful? Find me one person on planet earth who doesn't know what "Let's Go Brandon" is,' he said.
Cruz then walked off to a chant of 'Let's Go Brandon.'

All the pointless grandstanding is basically a tacit endorsement of the supremely qualified KBJ. Obviously no real issues with the nomination but it's an opportunity for media spotlight so he feels he's gotta say something100p.

That’s not me being a Cruz apologist I think he’s a piece of crap whether he truly believes the positions he defends or notAgree 100%. Similar to videos of Dr Oz brandishing weapons that he is releasing as part of his senate campaign.

Why hasn't Ted came out and said it was not his quarrelsome gay lover yet? Also why does the gentleman next to Ted immediately point at the man as if he knows him?
Just asking questions and I think that we deserve answers.

I wonder about the physics of throwing a whiteclaw can as opposed to a can of bud light. Those whiteclaw cans are taller and more slender, it probably requires different force and angle.

I don't know if Cruz lied to the police about the can hitting him, but that's exactly what a downgrade like him would do.

you need to brush up on your case law. legally speaking the contents of the projectile are, by definition, an extension of the projectile. If even one delicious drop of White Claw refreshingly splashed on the Senator's neck then legally he's been

Literally nothing. This is for the base, nothing more. He won't do crap but "investigating bud light" is chum for magas who are legit idiots. He simply had to get up and act outraged about woke bud light to get a few points. Nevermind there is nothing to investigate, the Bud light publicity stunt was like 2 months ago and AB is a private corp who can have whatever type of relationship they with with whoever they want

The nature of Bud Light's relationship with Dylan Mulvaney has to be like number 9,999,999 out of ten million on the list of things that the actual person Ted Cruz cares about.

Should have went in the common ground thread.
Something isn't adding up here, there's definitely a cover up going on. He was indicted for securities fraud in 2015, didn't get impeached then, didn't even get sanctioned. He's been under federal probe since 2020 and there hasn't been a peep. The governor has known about this dude being a crook since he took office. I can't wait to see what this is actually about.
