The only question is if the GOP will find their own equivalent to Bill Clinton - a charming, centrist consensus builder who can win a national election.
Not seeing it right now. People knew who Clinton was in the 80s.
Sandoval? Maybe?

I have such a love/hate relationship with this group. I get pissed by something someone said, unsubscribe and say I'm done here only to start posting again the next day.

No way, Ben Sasse and Scott Walker are basically RINOs, centrist dream.
For the primary? I'm well over it. #FeelTheFutility
For the general? I'm not. I'm going to savor every damn minute of the GOP's implosion; it's been a looooong time comin'.
Y'know how, when someone's been sentenced to by hanging, they kick and dance and thrash about before the body goes limp? I'll be there, clapping along as the GOP does its own little jig for us.
One funny thing of note:
I'm doing research for my SNL project by watching every episode from 1986 onward. As of 1991, he still has yet to be mentioned.
Trump has come-up a surprising number of times. Usually negative. Phil Hartman did a pretty good Trump.

I'm starting to lose interest fast, the circus is too long and Trump hasn't been as entertaining as he was weeks ago. He lost his mojo and there is no point into paying attention
I just want to be entertained
Bill gave a disaster of a endorsement speech at the 1988 convention, so the person who gives the worst speech at this years republican convention has 2020 in the bag.

Also he's too well liked in his state for that, the GOP won't pick someone people actually like. That's madness!
I heard Mario Cuomo's from '88 was fantastic.

And passed a tax increase to pay for education. The horror! When that was going through, there were quotes from Norquist about how that would kill has chance to get the VP nod.
Were they a first time voter?
Oh fuck me. He sucks.
CNN, if you're reading this I can leave work now and do it instead. I can make it on time, I promise. I won't even charge you.
I am so sorry. Really I am, no sarcasm.

you mean 84?
84! Fuck me, I wasn't even alive yet so forgive me. From what I've heard there was a push for him to run.

Usually at this point the primary is decided and things slow down until the conventions kick off the general election in full force, so it's to be expected to be less interesting about now.
But this time around there's still two very real paths for the republican primary to go, and both probably lead to some major damage to the GOP.
I'm tired of Trump speeches and republican debates as well, but I'll never tire of listening to Republican pundits and elites try and reconcile the terrible situation they're in right now.
You are being a little too literal. In the South Carolina debate he also said the "Bush lied, people died" stuff. I was just speculating as to whether he would go as negative on Rubio in this debate as he did on Jeb in the final South Carolina debate.

Sandoval's pro-choice, so he's dead in the water. And you can't make a Bush Sr. like conversion to pro-life belief, unless you're Trump.

The 2020 options to stop Cruz...
Ben Sasse: Marco Rubio without the illusion of being electable.
Scott Walker: The perfect compromise candidate other than the fact that he's dumb as shit, obviously a crook, and openly despises the working class.
Tom Cotton: Marco Rubio except ten times more embarrassing and more openly hateful of the poor.
Nikki Haley: The only hope, but she's a woman who was against the Confederate Flag.
Trump 2016, Cruz 2020 leaves the Republican Party where?

So is Sanders basically abandoning the South the biggest blunder of the 2016 primary season?
President Gillibrand in 2024
Yep. He basically made sure he had no shot at winning by allowing those margins to exist.

What Pennsylvania thing are we freaking about?
Oh and he could actually be President. Which should theoretically be the most important factor.
Those CFP figures seem about where it will probably land. Her wins if any in the rust belt will be slight because white people but her Florida strength should expand the delegate count.
Locks up Virginia if it wasn't almost certain already.

I wouldn't worry about Tom Cotton. If not for the disaster of 2014 I don't believe he would have beaten Pryor. He was shaky on the trail for quite awhile until ebola and ISIS took over iirc. He's not a likable person unless you agree with him, I don't buy the idea of him running or winning.
He has quite a long, lucrative senate career ahead of himself. Defense contractors love him.

Letting Trump have free reign over the Republican primary for months and months was a bigger mistake. It's literally put the GOP in a lose-lose situation.

Saw that there is going to be yet another town hall this weekend with the dems, at OSU on CNN.
This week...man. 2 Town halls and 2 debates?

Town Halls lowkey worthless unless they're on FNC
Maybe. Did he ever have a chance in the South to begin with?
By that, I kind of indirectly mean did he ever have a legitimate chance, period?
And I don't mean in some idealized Scandinavian utopia, I mean here in the United States, in the current environment we have today, across the entire country, did Sanders ever have a chance?
It's this.
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/03/10/report-46000-pa-democrats-become-republicans-due-to-trump/
46000 democrats according to a report from CBS switched to the republicans because of donald trump.

You really think after all of this shit this primary season that Republican voters would even be interested in a right wing authoritarian hack like Cotton? A lot of the attacks on Rubio could be spun around to criticize Cotton. I mean for fucks sake his wife and kid were pretty much just check marks off the "shit I need to do before running for Senate in Arkansas" list.
Walker is done because this cycle showed he really was dumb as a stump and only was really able to do something because the much more talented politicians in Wisconsin basically created single party rule for him in the legislature.
No one gives a shit about Sasse and Haley.

It's not about winning those states, it's about those crazy margins that he could have narrowed.
40k democrats are now Republicans because TrumpDump.
