Cruz and Huckabee are too deep into the crazy pool to be much more than riding it for endorsements post elections.

Cruz has done too much to piss of the GOP establishment to win the nomination and Jeb! is too busy self-annihilating. Fiorina/Trump/Carson aren't going to win anything. So, it's pretty much down to Rubio to save the party.

I think for all three anti-establishment candidates (who hold the top three spots in polls) to all get knocked out completely from the race will cause such a huge shockwave that no one can really predict where their supporters will go.

I mean, Rubio/Cruz/Bush are basically going to be assumed to be Mexicans by the xenophobes supporting Trump and I feel like Carly Fiorina and to a lesser extent Ben Carson are kind of just flavor-of-the-week candidates that everyone will forget about in 6 months. There's no particular Republican agenda that Republican voters seem to be embracing so who can tell what they want?

Of the 50% of registered Republicans that want to vote for one of those three, you'd probably have to look at their third or fourth choices before they'd vote for one of the ones who held political office. I feel like I can predict that the election will get much, much uglier though.

That seems very likely to me, especially once the outliers finally fall away for good and the primary begins to crystallize around 5-6 candidates leading up to the first state primary. Lots of very ugly TV advertisements, for sure.

No I mean later towards super Tuesday and beyond when Republicans start to see that they'll lose again. It's obvious that the segment of the population that is 100% lifelong Republican is very angry right now because they aren't in charge and haven't been in 8 years despite trying twice in a row to beat Obama with a moderate career politician. You can bet everyone will blame everyone else in the last few months before the general election.

Quote from: Donald Trump
"Your grapefruits are no match for my Trump towers."

Trump said this to World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon during a 2007 stunt "Battle of the Billionaires" between the two men, where they hired wrestlers to fight for each other.

I don't think I quite understand the drive to come out as pansexual if you're in a committed monogamous relationship. I suppose it might be about wanting to cultivate awareness and understanding in order to benefit those like you?

Think about that: after total legislative obstruction, a government shut-down, more than 50 votes to repeal Obamacare, an ensuing presidential election, two Supreme Court lawsuits, and other pending litigation - - Republicans are livid with the belief that John Boehner has worked with the President to strengthen Obamacare.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump continued to lead the Republican presidential field after a dismal performance at the second debate and lagging approval ratings in the Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Wednesday.

Trump led the field at 23 percent of likely voters expecting to vote in the GOP primaries nationwide while retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson and former technology CEO Carly Fiorina were tied at 13 percent. No establishment candidates cracked double digits, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came close at 9 percent.

It sounds crazy, I know, but this represents the true "dark side" of Boehner's resignation: it is another significant step in the Republican party's shocking withdrawal from our system of democratic governance.  Specifically, it presages a doubling-down of the Republicans' intentions to assert "negative control," where government shutdowns, hostage-taking, and (the immensely dangerous) debt-ceiling fights threaten to become more determinative than electoral outcomes and a functioning government.

They did this in California for something like 15+ years, it's not some strange turn of events. We used to need 2/3 to pass a budget, not just to raise taxes!
