I dont think Cruz has a chance. He is this election's Newt Gingrich. He will enjoy a modest bump but will fade out.

Exact same thing with Christie. We all saw the REAL Chris Christie talking to our souls that night. If he doesn't get a bump (all polls seem to say this is the case), I'm not sure what more real Christie can do. Dude came off like he wanted a brawl.

It's a few months in and still NOBODY can explain to me why Ted Cruz sounds like a bad actor every time he speaks. The voice, the body language, everything, just reeks of fake ass motherfucker putting on a (bad) show. How doesn't every human with a functioning brain not immediately see right through it?
I really want to punch him in the fucking face and I'm only about a 20 minute metro from Capitol Hill. Might be worth it.

Christie is terrible at feigning true outrage. Every time he makes a point he gesticulates and does a little Pillsbury Doughboy jiggle for extra emphasis.

It's starting to seem extremely likely the polls will generally stay where they are now up until Iowa. If Trump collapses, it's going to have to be from a worse than expected showing from the Iowa caucus.
That's definitely possible. There are times when you see polls being very wrong because voters get scared once they're faced with the possibility that their action will mean something. It happens a lot of marijuana legalization where a lot of people say "why not?" to pollsters but start imagining the potential for a pothead wasteland when their hand is hovering over their ballot.

This isn't real...right? How hard could it be, Jeb...

Oh my god at that debate shit.
The DNC needs to run a campaign lampooning this for this shit. It writes itself :
"Will ISIS provide 30 days notice to the President before they threaten American lives? Will high level negotiations take place in nicely light, climate controlled rooms, where no on will hurt their fee-fees?"
God, if the DNC wasn't mostly useless.....

As if anybody needed more evidence as to why Iowa is nowhere near as relevant today...
Time to cut bait in Iowa.

Romney lost Iowa to Santorum, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't embarrassed this bad.

Not at all - santorum wasn't ever ahead in the polls before the caucus's in 2012. even the last poll published had Romney narrowly winning, but if you read the details the numbers from the last day of polling showed a potential santorum win.
in 2008 Huckabee winning Iowa was an upset to Romney and a shock, but again it wasn't anything like this. He'd never dominated the polls like Trump has for such a long time period.

Am I the only one who sees a spider on her chin? The way she's furrowing her chin looks like a spider. It's not just me, right?
And, no, I'm not critiquing her for her appearance. It's just...I see a spider.
Judging by your avatar I imagine you're from the south too?
I think its a tendency of people here not being around people with that accent very often, because I too think he sounds about as fake as a two dollar bill when he speaks. It's that same bible belt snake in a suit type speaking you hear from all the televangelists down here when they beg you for a $1000 donation in 5 easy payments.

To be fair McCain was polling in fifth between 5-7% in the winter of 2007. He was fortunate enough that despite coming fourth, the media proclaimed him tying for third with Thompson (Hillary received no such luxury), and he had enough comeback momentum going into NH.
Jeb might still place Top 5 in Iowa, but judging by his internals he might be lucky to come 8th. That'd be a deathblow.

Caucuses are the true barometer of the candidate's voter drive. Santorum's people were simply willing to show up and make a difference than Romney's in iowa. I think Carson's supporters are the same way.

Cruz has to start getting aggressive if he really wants it because he's running out of time.
Sooner or later (sooner rather than later, actually) Trump's support is going to really shore up and you're not going to be able to pull from it anymore.
But Cruz still has the best shot of any of the real politicians in the race. Trump and Carson's supporters simply will not accept Rubio or Jeb! It's just not going to happen.

Carson would be one of the worst presidents if elected. He has zero composure, and would be an extremely weak president.

The power of suggestion is... powerful. Now that you've made the pattern connection, I can't unsee it, lol.
Lawrence Lessig drops his bid for the presidency.
Sure, and that's why I used the "right-leaning" phrasing, to not even get into labeling them as Republican advocates. But generally speaking, I'd say the kinds of tax and economic policies that are given positive coverage on CNBC would be right-leaning.

while true, this statement works for every single GOP candidate. To different degrees of course, but every one of them would be one of the worst presidents if elected.
I think Trump is making a big mistake if he does boycott a Telemundo debate. what a way to seem weak. So easy to attack him for being too soft to even stand up to people he disagrees with!
GOP candidates in general look like whiny babies.

It's Rubio or no one for The Establishment to win.
She should change the rules so that instead of a debate, it'd be the Hillary Clinton Variety Hour, in the style of the Carol Burnett Show.

Edit: This makes the theory that The Don mainly wanted to avoid a debate on Telemundo somewhat more believable.

Guys, it's November 2015 and Donald Trump has a significant chance to win the GOP nomination.
Do you know how weird that sounds?
Imagine you told yourself this in 2013 after Obama was inaugurated into office a 2nd term.

He's on a whole different level.
At some point, he's going to point to every instance where he got his way in this process as somehow being credible evidence that he's a good negotiator.

Trump got the other campaigns to jointly kill the Telemundo debate so he isn't on the hook and then went solo anyway. That's pretty damn good negotiating.
