In a state with a crap ton of embarrassing politicians, kobach is easily the front runner

Respectfully disagree. Brownback by a nose, then Kobach.

welcome your new leader GOP, you dumbasses

Anyway, Trump will probably be the GOP nominee and possibly become President. No joke. If you care either way about this, you should vote.
— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) February 29, 2016

Silver explains why, in this piece he wrote earlier today:

On Twitter this weekend, there was a lot of activity behind the hashtag #NeverTrump, with various conservative intellectuals and operatives pledging that they’d refuse to support Trump in November. Rubio’s Twitter account employed the hashtag also, although Rubio himself has been ambiguous about whether he’d back Trump.

It’s reasonably safe to say that some of the people in the #NeverTrump movement will, in fact, wind up supporting Trump. Clinton, very likely the Democratic nominee, is a divisive figure, and some anti-Trump conservatives will conclude that Trump is the lesser of two evils. Others will get caught up in the esprit de corps of the election. Some of them might be reassured by how Trump conducts himself during the general election campaign or whom he picks as his running mate.

That's not dumb. It is pragmatic.

Might as well just go single payer

Do you understand that single payer doesn't fix the problem of minimum coverage mandates - it makes it worse? Why are liberals so averse to market competition?

Because we've had your version of a free market for 50 years and it's led to the US having the highest healthcare costs in the industrial world and some of the lowest satisfaction and success rates. And before you say we need cross state competition, what about state's rights again? If you take that position you are now advocating for federal intervention to force states to do something for the benefit of business only.

Yup, that's exactly what we've had!

Watching Chant tell himself it's ok to vote for Trump is going to be fun to watch over the next 8 months.

I can't get over the fact that he actually has a decent shot at being president. the republican nominee thing is basically wrapped up. then it's just Hillary vs Trump and with so many spit when they talk angry pubs out there it might actually happen.

lol, this is so bizarre. Republicans are both upset at Trump for not really wanting to build a wall, and for using people's prejudices in his favor at the same time. They are terrified of Trump.

The GOP is flailing uncontrollably. How do you let it get this far in the process before trying to tear Trump down?

CNS · « **Reply #1417 on:** March 01, 2016, 02:28:05 PM »

Trump will just say that he doesn't want to build a wall, he wants to build two, or he wants to build a razor sharp glass barrier with laser beams that is guarded by ninjas(white ones of course) who hate Mexicans. It doesn't matter or need to make sense. This will change nothing.

That happened here in Iowa last week as well. One of the large DSM suburban schools student section, Dallas Center-Grimes, chanted TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP at a school with Mexican players during a playoff game. The school has gone out of their way to apologize. The DCG student council went to Perry to formally apologize and some DCG students, obviously not the same ones who chanted Trump, went to Perry's next playoff game after they kicked the crap out of DCG.

I'm starting to think that lots of people like Trump largely because they themselves are pretty racist.
