Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

He's going to execute a Mexican.

 

OK. Wasn't sure what you were getting at.

 

Even if he was going to hold a public execution, it would be a criminal Mexican, not one just chosen at random.

 

90% of Americans -- myself included -- don't even catch his typos/misspellings unless someone points them out.

And, even then...

 

He's going to own up to Starman's allegations and inexplicably boost his poll numbers.

 

Raise your hand if you think his troglodyte supporters are good enough spellers to even notice this.

 

My point exactly, even if I don't appreciate being called a troglodyte. (Whatever the fuck that means. I imagine it's not a compliment.)

 

Looks like Trump deleted his spelling errors and reissued corrected tweets, which are now at the top of his timeline.

He'd call Cruz or Rubio a very bad name for doing that.

 

A lot of the media seemed pretty desperate (none more so than the NY Times) to position the debate as a win for Rubio. I watched the whole silly thing and I got no such impression.

 

Agreed. My only question is, are they doing this because of some establishment bias, or are they doing this because they don't want the primary season wrapped up by Super Tuesday?

 

Establishment bias is a big part of it, but the elite political media really bought into that "the party decides" poli sci theory and if Trump gets the nomination, that theory is revealed as about as real as the Laffer Curve. They just don't want to have to eat a year's worth of horribly wrong predictions. Might give people the idea they don't know what they're talking about.

 

I didn't watch it. Are you telling me Rubio wasn't as incredible as I heard?

Was Trump as bad as I'm being told?

As much as I enjoy the Trump spectacle, I'd love to support a Rubio campaign.

But, if he gets the nomination somehow, he better be prepared to win.
