Talk about the Republican primary. Do not talk about the not-Republican primary. Don't be dicks.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton...

That is still my favorite thing ever written about Scott Walker.
I'm kind of surprised he ended-up endorsing Cruz. He seemed like the sort who'd eventually bend his knees for King Trump.
Cruz is all that's left of establishment. And he probably saw what happened to Christie.

He couldn't. He still has political ambitions and WI is not the kind of place where you want to be tarred by Trump if he ends up losing. Not a lot of downside risk unless Trump wins.

You think so? Intuitively I'd have to guess that endorsing a not-Trump right now would be the risky move for someone with political ambitions, given that Mr. Trump is likely to be the nominee. I mean, what is Walker going to do during the GE while working under a party whose candidate he didn't endorse (and presumably while trying to cater to a base that is at least somewhat pro-Trump)?
Did you know Donald Trump coined the term common sense conservative just last February?
Sadly some politicians are already stealing the term.

Google search gives some lies on its front page about Walker using that term at least as early as 2014.

It just plain boggles the mind.
And the lies in his twitter account. That is some next level mental dissonance going on. Like the guy can't tweet without revealing himself as a compulsive liar/Narcissist.
I want to go wake up people, but the phrase has been so overused by crazy people(in its shepple form) that I feel crazy even thinking it.
I think viewing those tweets as attempts at deception isn't quite correct (though the overall campaign certainly is selling snake oil):
He's saying what another part of his constituency (the MRA reddit crowd) wants to hear. That's why he made the faux threats about how he'd be just as justified in charging Fields with battery for gently nudging his arm while asking him a question: So he could butter them up some more.
'That's not real battery,' isn't as much a lie as it is a mentality / ideology for certain people, and that's who Mr. Trump is counting on as active supporters (at least for now).
It does have the best words. Great words. You wouldn't believe the words it has
Trump is great at making statements that sound extremely ominous.
Linguistic aside: That's because the English, having no shame, did not hesitate to steal all the good words from French they could get their hands on.
All that to create a language where "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." is a sentence.
If only he had the quality of consistency, he might bash local Republicans throughout the general.

That's a statement I'd expect Putin to say, while stroking his white cat.
In his conversation with the Washington Post, he basically said he isn't going to talk about any foreign policy at all because that would just give away his strategy. He wants to be unpredictable, take our adversaries by surprise.

> I always say we have to be unpredictable. We’re totally predictable. And predictable is bad. Sitting at a meeting like this and explaining my views and if I do become president, I have these views that are down for the other side to look at, you know. I hate being so open.
Otherwise put: "I have no fucking idea. Like, none. Just keep that shit away from me. Come on, don't bring out the map, you all know I can't even point out the country."

Then he leaned in, and winked.
Nope, sorry. German has the undeniably best words.
Sentences have coherent structure. Trump is like Palin with a few deep breathing exercises and a third-grade English textbook.
He had a great map, the first one, and it was America and he could read it fine. And then he had another good map, the second one, and then they kept showing different maps. And the third one was a bad map. Too many countries. Not America. That’s what happened. But, uh…
It's...it's been a long primary
UKRAINE IS GAME TO TRUMP?
Arch,

I feel like endorsements have been meaningless for at least a decade now, though with how wild this primary has been I could totally see Cruz refusing to accept them.
......
Words fail me.
EDIT: His latest strategy of "If Trump can dodge questions so do I!" is very much not working.
Didn't he use the phrase "holier than thou?" I am pretty sure every non-Cruz Republican in Washington twitched at that line.

This is then interpreted by the SMDs that Christians should dominate society via control of:
family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government.
As in, Ted is the guy Christopher Walken shakes hands with after his car accident and immediately tries to decapitate through panicked biting on pure reflex.
