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

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.

And again, all night they've been claiming his lead will inevitably fall out of double digits.
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

"First of all, let's dispense this fiction..."
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.

As a wrestling fan, I would love that, because it would get Vince out of WWE creative while making Trump some how even funnier...but lets just say it, Vince talking is low energy when he isn't in character.
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!

LMAO! This Rubio crowd thought at first he was talking about Obama instead of Reagan and boo'd a little.

I know that feeling.
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.

Hey Marco, I hear people still believe that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing.

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

I know, In fact I'd say more like 1939 Germany.

The Fox News hate on Trump is one of the best parts of this election cycle.
It is almost his duty to fight until super Tuesday.
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.
I don't remember Hitler making America great again.

Oh man. At this rate it's looking like a Trump vote. Thought Bernie would come closer.

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.

If he, God forbid, became President, would they spin any of his bullshit like they would any other Republican?
If I can't vote for Bernie, than Trump gets my vote. I do want the person that will avoid war on moral reasons (bernie). But I'll take the "war is bad for business" Trump if it's my only choice
I'm writing in Chuck Norris like I vowed to do over a decade ago and never followed through.

I really don't think Kasich would accept. Why give up running a large, industrial state to be a part of this national disgrace?
Luckily for Trump, the anti-establishment republicans have been conditioned to dislike mainstream media.

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.

When Rubio talks about how conservatives will fight for everyone, you can almost hear the asterisk that excludes anyone who isn't straight, white, Christian, or male.
