Damned Republicunts

Gohmert explained that he had promised to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for president, but Trump was an attractive candidate.

“I think Ted’s great, but I’m telling you, I think Trump add immeasurably to the debates.

I've said it before, unless something major happens Trump will become the next President.  He will win all of the Red States and pick up Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Ohio and get at least 287 electoral votes.  If he didn't have to cater to the country bumpkins in Iowa and New Hampshire in order to get the nomination it would be a complete cake walk.

. The neat thing about this is that you can overwhelmingly lose the majority in the referendum — 75 percent of Republicans are not voting for Trump — and yet still hold the plurality so long as the “no” vote is divided among a sufficient number of alternatives.

Another trade-off comes from entrenching your appeal with a narrow segment of the electorate at the expense of broadening your coalition. I’ve seen a lot written about how Trump’s candidacy heralds a new type of populism. If it does, this type of populism isn’t actually very popular. Trump’s overall favorability ratings2 are miserable, about 30 percent favorable and 60 percent unfavorable, and they haven’t improved (whatever gains he’s made among Republicans have been offset by his declines among independents and Democrats).

As long as Trump wins with the people he needs it simply doesn't matter about the other ones.  Right now I think he has an excellent chance of becoming the next President.  If he gets the nomination he should focus on winning New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.  He will carry the usual Red States without any effort.  He doesn't have to worry about any others so he shouldn't waste any money in those other States.  Eighty percent of his time and money should go toward those four States and twenty percent to the traditional Red States.

Talk to me in a year.  The fucking election is nearly 500 days away.

I suspect that Trump's routine will have worn thin far before that.

Keep working on getting that Latino vote for the republicunts, dipshit.

I like the word Republicunt. Accurately describes what that party has turned into.

I watched a couple of the GOP debates, and I found it hilarious that Santorum is trying to compare what Lincoln did in reaction to the supreme court ruling on slavery (if I'm remembering correctly) to that of the Gay Marriage ruling.

I won't be watching anymore GOP debates, though. I wasted enough of my time back in 2012 with them, I already know I'll be voting against them as I always do. They make it easy. Almost like they want to lose voter's support.

They have to appeal to the craziest of the crazy to win primaries and then wonder why everyone else hates their guts.

Republicans Defend Right to Be Born and Immediately Deported

Eager to shore up their pro-life credentials, several Republican Presidential candidates used campaign appearances on Wednesday to assert that the babies of undocumented workers have the right to be born and then immediately deported.

The initial response to the candidates’ statements was somewhat mixed, with some G.O.P. voters complaining that Walker’s twenty-four-hour window for deporting babies was overly lenient.
