Martin O'Malley has the most "fake politician" voice outside of Ted Cruz.
I would like to think educated voters are not swayed one way or the other by "charisma".
Give me someone who is an intellectual and can get shit done over a charismatic candidate any day of the week.
And LOL@ agreeing with Trump on immigration. Trump's plans are lunacy not to mention unabashed racism but yeah that's cool its better than Hillary!
People supporting Sanders but if not him then Trump confuse the shit out of me. They are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum yet these choices 1a and 1b for people?
WTF?

Have you heard Kasich laugh?
It matters to me. Blocking Jeb from the White House is priority number one.
I was talking about people not voting for a democratic candidate, even if they lean left, because the candidate isn't charismatic.
If Jeb were the Democrat nominee I would still vote against him.

I'm suddenly reminded of McCain and him defending Obama as a good family man and not a Muslim.

Being bullshit and being racist are two separate things. I would say it's bullshit because they're clearly playing politics, but I don't see race as being a motivating factor.
I mean, if we were in a bizarro world where Hillary had won 2008 and 2012 and Scalia died in 2016, I'm pretty sure Republicans would have said the exact same thing. (Maybe that makes them sexist instead of racist, I don't know...)

Trump has managed to convince people that he's fiscally liberal, which is a weird thing for a Republican to be. I haven't heard serious policy from Trump outside of "well this would be nice" though. If you're of the odd combination that's fiscally liberal and socially conservative, Trump could be appealing I guess.
But that assumes you think he's actually fiscally liberal. As much as I hear some of my liberal friends say Hillary lies, Trump is 100x worse.

Yeah. That was awkward as hell. But also after McCain's campaign put out the Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright garbage. McCain had to have been embarassed that his campaign went there.
The woman called him an Arab and immediately McCain pulled the mic away and said "No. He's not. He's a decent family man citizen who I just happen to disagree with on fundamental issues." Which is such a weird thing to say in hindsight. He didn't refute what the lady said.
There. I like this spin a liiiiitle bit better.

CNN poll clearly an outlier. So naturally it's the only one any news outlet is talking about.

So Trump's national numbers are somewhere between +23 and -2.
that was not a CNN poll that was NBC/WSJ

CNN is the Jeb! of news networks. It's okay to dump on them for shits and giggles.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
South Carolina seems pretty set in the top 3. Nearly every poll goes Trump/Cruz/Rubio.
I'm always puzzled as to the media's obsession with pushing Rubio. The guy is getting beat by 20-30 points by Trump in national polls. Jeb's numbers are so small that when he drops out they won't change anything at the top.

Mean NBC? Or did I miss a poll?

Oh come on. 3-5-3 is not impressive in the least. There is no momentum there at all.

You get a tie. And you get a tie. Everybody gets a tie.
So, I'm going to pick Rubio as second in SC, because maybe Haley's endorsement matters just enough to push him over Cruz by tanking Bush and Kasich a bit more. Although even then he won't get many delegates, possibly none depending on where his votes are. But it will probably be enough for the GOP establishment to settle and for a media narrative to form around him as their candidate and the challenger to Trump.
Everybody continues to despise Cruz.

Trump wins big and becomes the prohibitive favorite. Cruz comes in second and Jeb drops out after an embarrassing finish.
LOL. Not a traitor, just DISQUALIFIED!
This has been the narrative for the whole campaign. It's not happening!

Has this been posted? Found it entertaining, and also quite an interesting insight into the speech-writing process.
