Who the hell would Trump pick as a VP? Like, who can match his intensity and tone? Like, he can't pick someone that is "low energy" because it would go against his campaigns culture.

Fiorina?

I'm talking about for the VP debates that will happen this fall. Only person that has the same type of anti-establishment history is Jesse Ventura, he would have similar aggressiveness, but Ventura is for open boarders so it wouldn't ever work.

Jesse Ventura, probably. But yeah, the borders and rhetoric about Mexico kind of kill that.

Christie? He said he wouldn't ever.
Vince McMahon or Gary Busey
 
So it looks like Trump has a guaranteed forty-four delegates with Rubio possibly getting at least three, maybe six.

This was a point Sam Wang (Princeton Election Consortium) has been hammering pretty hard. In a lot of states you don't even have to get close to 50% of the Republican primary vote to get a large majority of the delegates.
 
On Fox they saying Kasich will stay in until Ohio to cockblock Trump there ina coordinated move with Rubio, similar to how Carson is (un)intentionally cockblocking Cruz from a piece of the evangelical pie.
 
Kasich actually has traction. Doesn't make sense to drop out till the Midwest.

Kasich has nothing. He is gambling on the potential for a Brokered Convention. His organization is basically ignoring the next 18 primary states with little to no organization at all while he focuses on Vermont and Massachusetts which shares airways with New Hampshire so his ads bombarded them just as much. He will try to nab just enough so if the GOP does doa brokered convention he has chips to lay out for favors
 
Trump called out Bush and the Pope (!), and defended Planned Parenthood on a debate stage. Yet he still won South Carolina, one of the most Christian-right conservative states in the Republican field I've been told.

What does this say about the GOP right now?
And does it mean Trump literally can call anyone out and get away with it?
 
Heh, earlier tonight some guy on Fox News looked giddy saying that the exit polls looked a lot like Iowa and instead Trump gets a big win.

Trump is invincible.

It's because Trump speaks to a base that feels they are being attacked. He can say anything and they'll eat it up. It saying a lot about the GOP base right now and who they really are.

Yeah, this is what is blowing my mind right now. With Jeb(!) out Rubio just became the default 2nd place runner, but the fact that Trump went scorched earth on so many of the things important to uber conservatives in South Carolina and still won is just crazy to me.

Also, REAGAN. DRINK!

It means that anxiety over the changing demographics of America trumps any other concern for a sizeable portion of the GOP base.

evangelicals hate the church because of idolatry and purgatory and shit

Oddly enough I think he should pick Rubio. Cover all bases:

Non-establishment + Establishment

Old + Young

White + Hispanic

Either him, or Haley.

God damn, I forgot about that during the debate. It also proves what Trump has been saying all along, the crowds are all special interests and RNC plants. They booed him for going after Bush and he still won.
 
Rubio's speech, Rubio: Ronald Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan



Regan nominated a supreme court justice his last year in office...
Rubio: Well that was Reagan this is now

Poll of Trump Supporters in SC found something like 95% of them support a permanent ban on muslim immigration and at least 40% would be in favor of a ban on Homosexuals.

GOP fucked up long term with the southern strategy. Trump is riding the southern strategy to the Nomination because its a large enough element to overpower any reasonable people when votes are divided.
 
Fox News Stephen Hayes. "This was a terrible night for Trump" Man, Fox News is bashing Trump hard saying he lost. They live in an alternate reality. Trump basically trashed the Iraq War and was viewed as having a terrible debate, but still won by a good margin.

He is polling big numbers in Nevada which is a couple days.

Luckily for Trump, the anti-establishment republicans have been conditioned to dislike mainstream media.

Christie? He said he wouldn't ever.

He said in an interview with Greta Van Sustren that he would probably pick a traditional politician. "We don't need two me's" or something like that. Someone that knows the game or something like that.
