I think Trump and Christie had done enough to humiliate Rubio in the primaries to bury him. The Latino vote would also not have come out for him, IMO. If it had been Rubio Trump would have already finished him in the eyes of the public. And he definitely could not have handled a real debate - the Republican farces proved that. -
I think Hillary could've taken down almost any other Republican that was on the board last year, especially Ted Cruz, who IMO most people not in the evangelical ranks view as a religious creep. Trump has the star power and apolitical 'charisma' which drew a lot of an apathetic and disaffected, increasingly disenfranchised and anxious white (and at the very least quietly racist) middle of the country, especially people who only know him as the guy from TV and who think his politics are pretty open-minded (which they actually are, in a bizarre way). That X-factor, the mood of the country, and intense generational hatred of Hillary from the Republican base and the far left, from the media and from elements of our government collided to make an unlikely mix. This could not have happened with Ted Cruz.

Whatever happened to Shane Richie?
From Sofia Coppola's A Very Murray Christmas, c/o Netflix. Featuring David Johansen (a.k.a. Buster Poindexter), Bill Murray and the great Jenny Lewis among others covering The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.
The Rockettes don't want to do Trump's inauguration. Meanwhile:
And now, something that will really rattle Trump. Panic ensues! And yes, this will shake him up. Trump is not like other GOPers; he lusts for fame and adoration from the mainstream.
Did I comment on this? Why was I mentioned?
A preview clip from the show's February premiere:
This is more of a "Where Were They Then" - back in 1998, B&B's Adrienne Frantz teamed with a young Brad Renfro to do legendary Night of the Living Dead director George Romero's famed commercial for the video game franchise Resident Evil (titled Biohazard in its native Japan). The commercial temporarily landed Romero a job directing the Resident Evil film, which ultimately landed in the hands of hack Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich instead. So if you ever wanted to see Amber fighting zombies - voila:
Sophie Turner on Season 7.
Ignacio Serrichio is playing Don West on Netflix's Lost in Space revival.
The finale's ending scenes with Rick and Michonne, and Daryl breaking down in Rick's arms in front of everyone, almost made some of the tiresome slog of so many of these Negan episodes worthwhile. I think stuff like the Tara ep, etc. (and Alanna Masterson's much more prominent presence this year) are underrated, and the big optimistic team exit at the end to get prepared to do battle was nice if a little amusing. That's what the show does well, as opposed to Kirkman's nihilism. The second half of the season looks infinitely more interesting based on the preview - straight-up war with the Saviors, with the Kingdom and the others allying together. Ezekiel, Carol and the Kingdom are so much more intriguing than Negan, though the exploration of Negan's crew has been interesting. There's nowhere to go but up, and they deserve the unexpected ratings drop for this. From what I'm hearing the hardcore comics fans and Kirkman are still super-bullish on Negan, but the rest of the world isn't and the network cares about numbers. I have no problem with JDM being around, but Negan's role cannot consist of speechifying and terrorizing everyone for years.
I'm not holding out hope for anything too massive. There is only so much Obama can do here without being labeled a fascist by the right and centrists. I know what I'd like him to do, but those aren't the same things as what is potentially feasible.
