As long as Trump remains Joker I'm ok.
Also, I really think Carson should be one villain...having a composite of more than one takes away the fun of it. But your call.

JEB and Rubio need to be Humpty and Dumpty. Cruz as Riddler, Rand as Anarchy, Fiorina as Scarecrow, shit writes itself.
Your thread though.
they took our jebs
Great ad. Would have been better if he mentioned the diaper though.
LOL.
The GOP doesn't give a shit about lying in regards to the military as long as it's a Republican that's doing the lying. Dubya lied about hiss service in the air force, and not a single Republican gave a shit. John Kerry was a decorated Vietnam Vet, yet was considered indistinguishable from an Al Qaeda operative in their eyes.
In other words, as with everything in life, IOIYAR.
Bad news for Chris Christie
He was going to prosecute her.
Who says he can't still do that? :O

I so badly want to go imaginary young Ben Carson on two dudes who keep trying to sabotage and stalk my girlfriend, but that's not right and I don't know what to do. They're even in Canada so I have no idea what the U.S. legal system could do if it cared about women being assaulted and stalked and smeared...

Very true. I suppose I'll just have to be patient.

I refuse to believe this is true
I heard it, but I think he was just shifting around in his chair. It starts at 5:30 and lasts for a bit.
I've gotten more retweets in 5 minutes thanks to that line than I've gotten in the 3 YEARS that I've been on Twitter.
YOU BASTARD.
Hmm, maybe I should start using my Twitter.
I know, but...goddamn. Ben just flipped the tables over. I'm still reeling.

I will be fair to Vitter in that sex workers are usually almost as moral as soldiers.
Of course, requesting sex work after skipping a meeting honoring dead government officials is bad.
People are so awful that there's certainly not a God though.
And I can't black out and "do God's work" through disappearing them either.

Who threw somebody else's medals over the White House fence.
And was taking orders from Richard Nixon to engage in illegal actions before Nixon was elected to any office.
And said he should be President because he was so stupid he was tricked by Republicans
I hope Kerry runs for the Democratic nomination in 2020, it might be his for the sacrificial taking if we keep having economic numbers like these that President-elect Trump is producing.
Unless Hillary tries some kind of Debs run-from-the-jailhouse redemption campaign.
Yes, but then they'd get impeached for sure.

Ya'll are probably right about it not hurting Carson as much as I think it should. I come from a place of rationality, and most GOP caucus/primary voters do not. I do think, should he make it to the General, shit like this would hurt him. So, I guess that's something, at least.
Anyone look into those CNN Iowa crosstabs? Bernie has way more problems than just people of color. His numbers among women are really shit. Plus, if you look at the "Who can handle....best" he loses on all of them, including the economy. That's like the entire thing he's built his campaign around, and he cannot win on that metric? He also gets decimated on foreign policy.

He's done. I'd bet the farm on it. He's going to get obliterated at the debate.
Hillary just wants to become President to pardon herself over the crimes committed in Benghazi.

But would they be convicted?
Say for hypothetical sake, Hillary gets hit with a bunch of charges but still wins the election, picked up a few more seats in the House and Senate for the Democrats but they're still in GOP control.
She's sworn in and pardons herself.
Would enough Democrats in the Senate vote to convict? If it was 52 R - 48 D in the Senate that means 15 D's would have to defect.
Bill's two charges fell 45-55 (10 R's) and 50-50 (5 R's).
The late Fred Thompson interestingly voted against the perjury charge.

I hate what Bill did, but holy shit, I forgot that so many many Republicans ending up voting to impeach him.

Cruz's SuperPAC is going negative on Rubio in Iowa:

"Whats Rubio ever done? Anything? Other than his gang of eight amnesty bill, can anyone think of anything Marco Rubio's ever done?"

It won't hurt him. His favourables will remain high. And his honest and trustworthy ratings will increase. Because he's being smeared by the liberal media.
On your second point, that Vox article was an interesting women's take on the "shouting" comment, interpreting it as Clinton calling out implicit biases in general, not overt sexism at him. That may resonate with women who have experienced the same and the campaign's poor response probably amplified that. On the who can handle, I imagine that's part of the reason why 1) people who prefer her do, and 2) he won't beat her, because none of those numbers are going to flip.
Next debate is hosted by Fox Business. He's getting clobbered.
They used the murder of twenty pre-schoolers and Cruz standing up for guns, not the victims, afterwards as a positive for him. Wow.

I can't believe they used "After Sandy Hook" like that like children didn't actually die. Christ.

Fox went in on Trump, and it backfired and helped Trump.
Carson will just mumble incomprehensible answers. If pressed for follow ups, he'll continue to do so. The audience will sympathize with his inability to form coherent audible sentences.
Then they turn to Trump and ask him if Carson should be president.
"Hey, I like Ben. He's a really great guy. He's a nice guy and a pretty good doctor. He's a great guy, too. But he's not ready to be president."
Yesssss. More of this please. It's clear that Rubio is the biggest general election threat at this point and must be crushed to make way for Trump.

I mentioned my mom earlier. In the late 90s, she probably wasn't a big Hillary fan. In 2008 she supported Clinton because she thought Obama wasn't ready. (Although she voted for him in the General, in no small part because she freaking loathed Sarah Palin). As she watched that exchange, she immediately latched onto the "Of course she's yelling, she's a woman thing." She's actually going to volunteer with me once Clinton's office opens locally. (Provided she doesn't have to talk to actual voters....)
I think so many liberals just can't fathom the idea that we live in a society in which even we are guilty of societal bias. There's no way around it. We have to check each and every privilege we have each and every time it comes up. If it makes us feel uncomfortable....good. There's a reason for that. Bernie is not immune from society anymore than the rest of us. I would think he and his campaign would take the opportunity to learn from it and check their privilege. Or, they'll just double down on it and play the victim.
And that's one of the things that just blows my mind about his campaign. Every time someone calls you on something or doesn't agree with you, it's not at attack on Bernie Sanders. They need to get way thicker skin if they want to run a successful national campaign. I guarantee you the GOP (if given the chance) wouldn't play nice with Sanders.
There's also something interesting in that Iowa poll. Bernie does best with men (which we all knew). If you look at the poll numbers for who do you think will win, both men and women think Clinton will win. However, more women think Bernie will win than men. (It's only within a few points, so it's probably not significant at all.) Also, women are less likely to have an opinion on who will win. I think this is evidence of that damn glass ceiling again. Just as AA voters had reservations that President Obama could win, I feel like there are some women out there who doubt that we would nominate a woman to lead the party and the country. I would love to see what will happen with Hillary's numbers among women once we prove that this is who we want, gender be damned.
On the flip side, I also like that Hillary is embracing her gender this time around. In 2008, she seemed terrified of being a woman candidate. She's leveraging that so much better this time around. Hell, she's just a lot better at this than she was in 2008. I don't know if it's her age, getting to that "Fuck it" point in life or what. It's refreshing to see.
