millbank Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 No one remembers who came in second. it matters as to who can claim they a viable option to Trump... Bush out now,, this helps Rubio
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Jeb=out. Thank God. Hopefully kasich is next up to throw in the towel. Edited February 21, 2016 by drinkTHEkoolaid
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 The more I thought about it, I think I understand trump better and how messed up our political system really is. I think trumps views would really lineup as a traditional blue collar democrat or at least 20 years ago would have been a democrat. But the democrat party has been so hijacked and pulled to the extreme left by the regressives there isnt even a resembelence to the traditional democrat party. I think Trump more or less has blue collar democrat policies with a strong sense of nationalism and pride. He appeals to a lot of people who would otherwise identify as being a part of other groups. I think conservatives are pulling for cruz, big government traditional and younger republicans for rubio, commies and hippies are in the bag for sanders, criminals are pulling for Hillary and trump is cleaning up with the rest. Ive had a few scotchs cut me some slack

keepthefaith Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Trump loses in a 2 man race but getting down to 2 before Super Tuesday ain't gonna happen. There will be 3 hopeful and stubborn campaigns for a while.
Nanker Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Trump is the Mike Francesa of American Politics.
B-Man Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Trump loses in a 2 man race but getting down to 2 before Super Tuesday ain't gonna happen. There will be 3 hopeful and stubborn campaigns for a while. exactly. Let’s not kid ourselves. If the race continues with Rubio and Cruz tearing each other apart — and with Kasich and Carson loving their way to ten percent — Trump’s solid base will be more than enough to win the vast majority of the states between now and March 15. The only real question will be whether Rubio or Cruz starts to achieve some degree of separation, but so far the margin between the two candidates has been 4.5 percent (Iowa), 1.1 percent (New Hampshire), and a razor-thin 0.2 percent (South Carolina). In Nevada, the RealClearPolitics average puts them — you guessed it — exactly one point apart. Not only does the conservative fratricide limit either candidate’s ability to break out, it’s allowing Trump to sail forward in the face of remarkably light headwinds. The decision of the Republican candidates to spend far more money attacking Rubio than Trump stands out as one of the most short-sighted (and possibly cowardly) collective decisions in modern politics.

Captain Hindsight Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I think the Republicans just might take it to the convention Might be a dumb question, but If Trump is getting most of the delegates, shouldn't he get the nomination by default? (Forgive me, not totally up to speed with how nominations work)

(Forgive me, not totally up to speed with how nominations work) Need 50% +1 to secure the nomination. Rubio, Cruz, and kasich may siphon enough delegates to prevent The Donald from a majority
Chef Jim Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 No one remembers who came in second. We're Bills fans. We remember.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 We're Bills fans. We remember. We don't remember who came in second. We remember who came in fourth.
Chef Jim Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 We don't remember who came in second. We remember who came in fourth. Ummmm Super Bowls?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Ummmm Super Bowls? What's a super bowl? I tend to have a hard time remembering things that happened 25 years ago.
Captain Hindsight Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Need 50% +1 to secure the nomination. Rubio, Cruz, and kasich may siphon enough delegates to prevent The Donald from a majority Ah I see. So if Trump has 49%, the GOP could pick Rubio?
B-Man Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Ah I see. So if Trump has 49%, the GOP could pick Rubio? No. They would have continuing votes at the convention, until someone got a majority. AND...........it will never come to this. .
3rdnlng Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Ah I see. So if Trump has 49%, the GOP could pick Rubio? Yes, eventually. After the first ballot the electors are free to change their votes. They are pledged to initially vote for a candidate but after that it is a free for all.
