    Not that its a great indicator, but Trump once again won the Drudge online poll about who won the debate. He's at like 60%.

    I know I'm part of the problem but this was entertaining as all hell.

    And trump got both of his opponents to team up on him by yelling about how they want to leave people to die in the streets. He managed to make them admit that was the GOP platform, enthusaistivally

    Amazing.

    insanity. that was a shit show and he looked pathetic for long stretches

    Rubio started out looking like he could be the actual President but got a little petty by the end. but it's hard to blame him when he has to talk over Trump. and he had to, and he did, and it largely worked. Cruz was there too but he was still Cruz. the answer is clear.

    Rubio winning last night is definitely being pushed this morning. Insomuch as anybody can 'win' one of these things, Trump won by virtue of being his snake oil salesman self. So sad.

    Republicans get reminded that the troops are humans with human needs and don't run on yellow ribbons and prayers, and tell the DoD to go fuck itself.

    Apparently the closed captioners had to throw up their hands and put (unintelligible yelling) up on the screen for parts of the debate last night.

    That's a thing that happened in a public debate for the highest office in the land.

    There is a screenshot of it floating around.

    When Donald Trump wins Florida I would not be surprised if the headline read "Big Victory for Rubio in Florida!"

    I hateloved the story going about Luntz's CNN focus group. When he asked who won, they unanimously said "Rubio." Then the whole room spent the rest of the segment talking about Trump.

    That's when you realize that, yeah, the voters might give Rubio props for standing up to the lion. Doesn't mean they aren't still voting for the lion.

    Wolf Blitzer sounds more like a Mega Man weapon you get from beating the boss than the boss itself.

    Like I legit thought this guy's name was maybe Wolf or sounded like 'Blitzer' so you guys were referring to him as 'Wolf Blitzer' as a joke or something.

    Wolf Blitzer is clearly the callsign of one of SolidSnake's classmates.

    That was some of the worst moderating I've seen this entire election cycle, and let me tell you there is some stiff competition in that regard.

    She's declaring trump the champion of the unprotected classes.

    And yet she still goes on autopilot about charter schools, which are an excellent example of the protected taking advantage of the underclass by turning community controlled public schools into for-profit "schools" controlled by a corporation based in another city.

    That's the weakness of modern conservatism that Trump is exploiting. Even when they get a glimpse of a clue, they can't help shilling for whoever has a hand in their pocket. It's what makes "I'm too rich to buy" a powerful message.

    I just don't get how trump is so popular online. I mean around 4chan & /pol, yes. But now he's being celebrated as like, a hero of the internet.

    Much like racism in america, we forget/pretend its not really there, until a candidate is out front going "FUCK YEAH LETS BE RACIST DOWN WITH BROWN!" And you have a not insignificant part of the country cheering along.

    Starting?

    Trump has been the inevitable nominee for months now. Denial is a hell of a drug.
