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.

hopefully.  However, I think that Marco just isn't good at it.  None of the current politicians are.  That is why he is steamrolling.  No one prepped for the Yo Momma jokes.  They didn't realize it was in bounds.

i think you are underestimating how good trump is at this.  it's not something that would work for many other people (but other people could probably do other things that wouldn't work for trump but that are currently dismissed as not standard operating politicianing).


what a sad end to #nevertrumpism, btw.  back in the day, when trump rallies included daily beatings and likeable young politicians like rubio seemed poised to pick up the pieces, it felt so promising.  and now we're here hoping the voters in the stupidest state of the union will vote for the least likeable politician in the world in order to stave off death for at least one more week.

I certainly think Trump is good at it, but I also think that no other candidate this year has any experience in his game.  There are plenty of ppl who can argue in insults and stupidity just like Trump.  This election opens doors for them.  No longer do you have to be a robotic boring politician.  Now you can middle school yard bully your way though.

I think the pendulum will swing the other way if it gets too prevalent.  I think the only reason it's working for trump is because a. he's one of the best extemporaneous speakers I can recall, and b. nobody has really run a campaign like he has before.

basically, it's novel, and he's good at it.

being novel is important.  i don't think he's winning because he's insulting, more likely in spite of it.


in the trump thread i linked an essay on trump's popularity that was interesting.

I would hope that the GOP would regroup and figure out who they are and what they want prior to the next ramp up for election.  Also, I would bet that priority #1 for the party(probably both parties now) is changing their process on what to do when a trump or bernie comes in and makes too much noise.

who thought Ted Cruz going into a crowd of Trump supporters was a good idea? Man, it is fun/painful to watch Ted use his stern dad voice directly at someone.

Yeah, if his campaign thought this was a good it explains why he's doing so bad

It's going to be awkward for Ted when he has to endorse Donald next week.

the best part of the video was the silence when he told his jokes (or at least I think they were jokes?)

The video of Cruz and the trump supporter was so great, really sums up both campaigns and their voters :lol:
