And he lost in the most distasteful, shameful way too. Rubio went out with penis and pee jokes. No honor. No dignity. Pure desperation plays on the pettiest of crap. I can't wait for him to lose his senate seat to something with a pulse and a (D). | ||

Wonder what the numbers are around Katrina for the state overall. | ||

I don't personally know that the Tea Party is a faction so much as a label people adopt just to stir the pot and get attention. The point is not supposed to be social issues, by the way, but it gets confusing because people like Michelle Bachmann, part of the religious right, are also some of the people who stand out from the Tea Party. Trump has broad appeal. That doesn't mean he's not polarizing. But he's a public figure (a la Schwarzenegger), he's a self-identified conservative (a la Reagan), and he's a billionaire (Perot). It's not just Tea Partying. I might be wrong, but I don't see it. Palin was one of the roots of the Tea Party, not McCain. But he's the one that gave her a microphone. The Tea Party was a blanket populist movement that railed against the federal government and "the man". Its foundation was emotions more than issues, but it was easiest to tap into that through social conservatism. This also gave rise to the immense obstructionism we have now - 'compromise' became a bad word as it is to Trump. It promoted the political outsider (which Cruz was when he used it to win his election, and why he pissed off the establishment). Trump's broad appeal is with angry people, whose angered was stirred by the Tea Party. This may have been inevitable, but to me this is simply the next step of angry populism (which is obviously not new, but that was the new form of it.) | ||

Clinton 7:5 Sanders = ideal Clinton 8:4 Sanders = decent anything worse is really bad for his campaign. I will be quite interested to see how close other states are, considering much of her "firewall" has already voted. | ||

It only works because, as is being pointed out, the Republican party denied or diminished it's existence and wrote the members of their party using the rhetoric off as just a 'fringe', and rationalized so much garbage, Trump's birther vendetta for example. | ||

Like pathetic young Rubes? He would say anything, anything his expensive handlers that richer men bought for him told him to say. At the last second they said pee and penis jokes Rubes. And Rubes, like the puppet he is, quickly rattled off the jokes his handlers wrote for him. | ||

Still not a good night for Rubio, especially if he stays below the 20% threshold in some of these states. | ||

I just sometimes get the impression he/they are talking about and taking excessive 'offense' at random shit when that energy would be better extended elsewhere, on more serious cases | ||
