shellshock if you could put into words what exactly you think people are laughing at, that would be great. tia

There's still a large group of people across this nation that truly don't believe that he's going to be the Republican nominee. They keep brushing it off like, "Oh, well once the votes start coming in, he'll go away." The people in denial are the ones laughing it off that won't be in a couple months.

I think the idea is that he won't win a majority of delegates to the RNC convention. If this is the case, and no one else has a clear majority, a lot of people are speculating there might be a brokered convention allowing his delegates to switch to other teams.

It is also logical to note that as the bottom six start wearing down to one or two that his lead will shrink and/or disappear.

Quality post here! I think that this spring will be very, very interesting for the Republican Party.

well, trump has opened up what appears to be an insurmountable lead in iowa so we should probably bump this thread to mock humanity in general

It's more concerning to me that Cruz is in second than it is that Trump is winning. If Rubio were in second, at least I would be able to tell myself that Trump is only winning because all of the more reasonable candidates are splitting votes.

I agree. Like, the Republicans who aren't voting trump aren't voting for him because he's not enough of a conservative bad person for them. They need maximum conservative bad person, it's very interesting

are hillary/bernie still excited at the prospect of trump being the pub candidate? or is this getting a little terrifying how horrible so many americans apparently are?

Just an FYI, Rick Santorum was polling third going into the Iowa caucuses in 2012 & I don't know what place he was in but I know for a fact that Fuckabee was trailing in 2008.

Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have had a 43% success rate at predicting which Democratic candidate for president and a 50% success rate at predicting which Republican candidate for president will go on to win the nomination of their political party at that party's national convention

Trump's actually provided some great benefit to being in the election. A hell of a lot more people are paying attention to the political process, other candidates, and actual issues than normal and will likely participate when they wouldn't have otherwise.

Only downfall is that he may actually win and start WWIII among other things.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #1045 on:** February 01, 2016, 10:31:20 AM »

What Trump is saying vs what he will actually do is not the same thing, FWIW. (I was typing that before you posted WWIII, so my statement is not about WWIII specifically.)

Like I don't think Trump is as religious as he maybe is pretending to be. And if you subtract out the religion stuff from the recent/traditional Republican stance that's probably where I am.
