Are you in a state that's about to have a primary? We didn't have a single political ad at all.

Hmm, now that it's probably back to Trump vs. Cruz:
Cruz victory: I buy my friend and his wife dinner, Hillary wins extremely easily.
Trump victory: I win dinner for me and my girlfriend and $20, Hillary wins pretty easily, Trump probably brings "cunt" back into political discourse.
Christie hates Rubio because Rubio kept bashing and attacking him during Christie's NH surge and Christie really likes Trump.

Yep, good ol' SC. We've been getting bombarded.

I'll pray for you. In Ohio, we won't get hit for a while but it won't end after the primaries. We'll be hearing people approving the damn message for months.
There might be a back room deal between Trump and Christie. Have you seen the pics of them laughing during the lulls at the debate?

Christie is looking after his own self interest, either a hope that this could propel him in NH, or that this could raise his profile enough that he'd be a possible VP or cabinet pick. The guy is never going to be elected to a political office again, this is his last chance in the spotlight.

You can't fault Christie. He's running to get elected, just like everyone else and from what I've seen he really has poured everything into his campaign. No one is going to be a lackey for the "Party" and he sure as hell is not going to rollover for fucking Jeb or whoever the party wants. He saw his biggest enemy and struck him a bodyblow in a way only he could.

Has Trump gone after Christie? I mean, there probably hasn't been a reason for him to have done so yet. I could imagine Trump being ideologically in line with Christie, actually. I mean, more so than any other Establishment hack.
From your lips to god's ears. I'm sure there's a bridge he could fuck over somewhere.
True. However, I guess, like, on the Democratic side, I feel like both Bernie and Hillary would rather have the other win than anyone on the GOP side. I was holding the clown show to the same standard. That was my bad. I have to own that.

Also, two things on the Dem side:
Bernie, get some damn foreign policy advisers. Like right fucking now. Call up someone. Anyone. Hell, I'll let you have one of my International relations textbooks if it'll help. Seriously, brah. Call someone. One vote on Iraq does not a policy position make, especially when you've shown you're fine with intervention in other situations. Git good brah.
Hillary: shut up about the damn "artful smear," and come up with a better answer to the Wall Street thing. Seriously, girl. You know I love you. You know I'll help you hide any bodies you need me to. Again. (I didn't save the emails from last time, but I'm thinking that's not going to be a problem.)
Also, thank you Hillary for talking about trans women of color. Trans issues are ignored by everyone and it's a damn shame.

It's better if Kasich stays in the race and continues to split the vote. The ideal scenario keeps as many candidates alive as possible.

Obama was awesome on the Late Show just now
In that case, wouldn't it be Trump>Cruz>Kasich>Christie>Bush>Rubio?
Keeps Cruz in, keeps Kasich in, keeps Bush in because he sees Florida as pivotal, and essentially eliminates Rubio.
(just thinking aloud. If you ask me half an hour later, my mind might change if I approach from a different angle. Sooooo many variables!)

Nothing that happens in NH is going to get Cruz to drop out. It'd be better to have two non-Rubio establishment candidates at 2nd and 3rd both stubbornly thinking that they have momentum.
Interestingly enough, he was the one I had the most trouble placing..

Not that this would actually happen, but what if nobody got over 20% in Alabama (or another state with a 20% threshold)?
The King, stay the King.
His Intra-GOP popularity numbers are barely above neutral while guys like Carson/Trump are sky-high. He spits too much hot truth.

Getting away from state vs. federal, it probably won't matter if major new gov't policies are biased down the ladder and prioritize the most vulnerable while still driving up the budget. You can't balance a budget or run a surplus no matter what the economic conditions and corresponding consequences are. That's why the Bush tax cuts were not paid for by increased taxes and spending cuts and were made permanent during the Obama admin. You will run into brick wall called a recession if you follow "gotta reduce the deficit" like a religion. So, the trap is letting someone propose a tax cut that isn't in your best interest, pass it, then turn around and say we can't afford to do something else. You have to get someone like Jeb to confront the fact that he's shilling for the wealthiest folks at the top with his tax plan. Or my boy Rubio.
And even in Michigan you see that you can't really follow gotta reduce the deficit to its conclusion if people get lead poisoning.
South Carolina has been nonstop bullshit ads for months. It's sickening.

But if the teevee doesn't tell you who to vote for, how will you know what you're supposed to do?
I never ever saw them thanks to digital media 8)
I have broadcast cable because I am a poor fuck, and every other ad is Right to Rise, Rubio, or Cruz.

Thank you! I cancelled the Walmart one and ordered it on Amazon.
This can join my Barack and Diamond Joe one.....except those are in my closet. My Queen will not be in the closet. I try not to order from Walmart. Although, ordering a Hillary cutout from Walmart is probably sufficient to make some people's head explode....I know you have internet
I know you have internet
Yep.
And then when I watch the news, it's always about how Trump made a day trip to Redneckville, SC with 13K people and made it back in time for his primary that evening.
Christie and Trump get along just fine...
Thought this was an interesting bit from this lecture I was watching.

Thing is, Christie went after something that a ton of media people had already noticed. If Rubio adjusts and avoids his talking points no one cares and today we're all talking about how Trump wants to bring back the rack. Rubio took something that only hardcores care about and turned it into a media firestorm.

This professor sounds like a dumb person trying to avoid the fact that Trump has won popularity based on racism alone.
Trump is at -70 with Democrats right now. He's one of the most hated presidential candidates of all time.

maybe Walmart has a cardboard cutout of Marx that doesn't fall apart when you try to set it up in practice
Troll voting for Trump is going to be a real thing, I'm surprised he didn't mention it.

Marx was short on definitive prescriptive forms for his theories. Substitute Stalin or Mao and it makes sense.

He alluded to it in a way, but I don't know if he intended to. He says that after South Carolina with Bernie pretty much out of the race, there will be crossovers in the open primaries on Super Tuesday.
