Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Where exactly can Rubio win?

Trump Leads Rubio by 16 Points in New Florida Poll

With 19 days to go before the Florida Republican primary, GOP front-runner Donald Trump has opened up a 16-point lead over Sen. Marco Rubio.

The Quinnipiac poll result is a red flag for the Rubio campaign. The junior senator from Florida has failed to win any of the early nominating contests and faces an absolute must-win situation in Florida, where he has a home-field advantage. A Trump victory in the swing state – as well as its 99 delegates – would be a major win and potentially seal his path to the nomination.

 

I have never seen anything more entertaining in politics than Trump ripping the shit out of the old guard GOP. Today its Romney.

Trump goes on a Twitter tirade against Romney over tax 'bombshell' remark

Its like he's saying what i'd say!

 

I will pay Starman to show up at a debate and go, well, Starman on Trump. The whole shootin' match. And then punch him in the face, since Trump seems to think it's ok to punch people.

 

His feed is the first thing I check every morning.

 

Neocons already turning cannons on Trump.

This is quite the op ed by Bob Kagan.

Trump is the GOP’s Frankenstein monster. Now he’s strong enough to destroy the party.

 

I understand that as a general rule, but this is the last debate before Super Tuesday, and if Trump racks up on that he's going to be very difficult to stop. Both Cruz and Rubio have to see the math, and know that they have to find a way to blunt his momentum somehow. Rubio showing a spine would help break the perception of him as something of a pussy, and if he can draw Trump into an actual debate of any substance he should be able to handle him. Rubio has moved past his Robo Rubio gaffe, but no one has forgotten it. The other side of that is that I'm sure that Trump has not, and that he'll be looking for someone new to bully with Bush gone. I think some sparks are going to fly tonight. What do they risk, getting behind? If Trump takes Texas and Florida they are both screwed and they know it.

 

There has to be some example in the animal kingdom where two undercards marshal their strengths and destroy the alpha predator.
Then try to eliminate the other in kind, with better chances of overall survival.

 

Those two dolts don't seem to have the intellectual firepower, nor the balls, to destroy this alpha predator.

If they do decide to do it, someone please have several cases of water ready to hydrate Rubio.

Well maybe so. But the "elections have consequences" fits it perfectly. And the mandate is doubtful at 53 percent of the vote. 60-plus, certainly.
On another subject, being a registered Republican, it's frustrating to see how a 13-horse race is coming down to a point that often seems bumbling but a lot of that's media driven. Personally I think Rubio is the best long-term horse in the race to November, though when our primary rolls around I'm not sure I'll go that way. It would be interesting to see a Trump-Sanders showdown only because of what it represents as non-establishment sentiment on both sides. It's also going to be interesting should Sanders find a way to get the vote majority only to lose it via super-delegates or a brokered convention. Whether it be Trump or Sanders, if those hard-core followers feel screwed and decide to sit out the general, someone's election is in jeopardy

 

"Marco, whatever strategy we take tonight, we cannot allow a glass of water to be anywhere near you."

 

No shit?

 

By the by, did I miss this discussion, or have we not touched this from the Nevada victory speech?
