Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted February 27, 2016 Members Share Posted February 27, 2016 You really think so? Two older people on the democratic ticket would not be a good look IMO. I think Hillary needs a younger man on the ticket so I'm 100% behind having Castro as the VP. Rubio did come across petty and childish yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 27, 2016 Members Share Posted February 27, 2016 Plus is there any advantage to giving Donald the word "socialist" to throw around? I think Bernie is a rational, decent guy and he will campaign for Hillary and bring many of his supporters around without being the VP. It's interesting to see Trump and Rubio trying to emasculate each other. I think someone in the Rubio campaign is actively advising him that they need to bring Trump down in that way and that's where the whole "pants wetting" thing is coming from. It's like the whole Republican nomination process has come down to who has the biggest d*ck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 What a surprise that Marco was eager and desperate and unable to read a room. He obviously had no idea how much Christie hates him. Nice to see how two-faced LePage is. You can thank third-party morons in Maine for giving us him. Romney actually did handle this right. He seems to be better behind the scenes than he was as a candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 That's some dictator-type sh-t. I keep telling my friends that support him that he's a step away from wanting to turn this country into Cuba, Russia, China, or North Korea.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 And the media will still give him a wet kiss, because they won't think it's going to affect them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 No, they're terrified of him. Most of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nothin'ButAttitude- That's why I'm horrified when so many Republicans are saying they'll get behind Trump if (when) he wins. They would really rather see someone with Trump's dangerous ideas in there than HRC. Was it Jeb who said HRC would be better? If so, I can at least respect him for that. I think some in the media just love the drama and the ratings right now. I mostly watch CNN and I think Wolf Blitzer is especially guilty of this. Some of the online bloggers like Ezra Klein see the danger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Jeb was the one that said that. I can see him bitterly backing HRC over Trump. I give Bush that; he has not been a Trump fan for day one and has expressed he would not like to see him win. The Republicans just want a win but once Donald is power, they won't be able to control him. He'll be all over the place. Nothing will really get done then. I think a lot of the media loves the drama too, but as you said, many of them see the danger that Donald could bring if he is elected. That man is a menace to society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) The media absolutely loves the drama and the ratings, which is why they chase Trump. But most of them (and that does include cable news) also know he is incredibly dangerous, which is why they've pushed Rubio so hard - they think he's the last hope. It's a symbiotic and contradictory relationship they have with Trump, but that's the way the media has been for a long time. The Republican establishment is not behind Trump and does not want him to win. The article above indicates that, though it was obvious before. They know he will destroy them, but due to the party and base they have created they cannot control him or it.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Hiring at least 200 paid staff and spending almost $2M in SC alone looks an awful lot like trying.

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2016 Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 I guess - I meant in recent weeks. It seemed like he'd handwaved it a while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
