CNN went to a diner in Nevada and asked voters to identify the presidential candidates. What they found makes me want to gouge out my eyes, rip my tongue out and blow my brains out the back of my head.

You're surprised why again? This is the climate that created Obama. Trump is nearly-perfectly adapted to it. Now what happens should he actually secure the nom is another question entirely, granted, but by now nobody should be shocked at how things have shaken out.

"Who sneezed?" asks Stalin. Nobody moves a muscle.
"Nobody? OK first line, stand up! GUARDS!" he shouts. The Red Guards fire on the first line, killing everyone.
"Now, who sneezed?" Everyone is scared out of their wits and say nothing.
"Still no one? Second line- stand up!" As before, the Red Guards kill everyone who is standing.
"Now - who sneezed?" crickets.
"Third line - stand up!"
and just then a man in the 6th row says "I'm sorry Comrade Stalin! It was me!"
and Stalin says, "Bless you, Comrade."

It's called brassiness. When you dye your hair blond, it's not easy to maintain. Hard water, various shampoos, etc. will cause it to get that brassy, gold look to it. Watch in the next few days, it will change as a hairdresser "tones" it or lightens it with highlights.

Nobody ( as of yet) is talking about giving back Gitmo to Cuba.

The subject of the painting is blowing a Rams horn, or a shofar. Back in ancient Israel that was the horn that was blown to warn of terrible peril. The shofar is blown during High Holidays (Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur). It's a commandment to hear the shofar

You're surprised why again? This is the climate that created Obama. Trump is nearly-perfectly adapted to it. Now what happens should he actually secure the nom is another question entirely, granted, but by now nobody should be shocked at how things have shaken out.

Cruz comes across as intellectual, which is a real handicap with LIVs. Stupid people bitterly resent intelligent people.
Both Trump and Rubio would do much better with LIVs, which, let's face it, now make up a sizable portion of the population, if not an outright majority.

As I explained above, the object here is slow walk the gitmo thing so when Fredo tries to use and Executive Action, it is closer to the end of his term and the next President can quickly rescind it. Would that work? Probably not since Fredo is not stupid, but we don't have many options here. Of course there will be little support amongst Republicans, and rightfully so, to close Gitmo. We are not talking about supporting it but the proper tactics to defeat it or run out the clock

Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 23, 2016 11:27 AM (qCMvj)
the GOPe will flip to Kasich and use Mario just to keep Cruz in check.
Then, plan to go to the convention with a Kasich/Mario ticket coming out of deadlock.
Carson is just a pawn in all of this now. But, fuck him for keeping the water muddied. He needs to get out now.
The sooner we can get this race down to 2 or 3 the better for Cruz or Trump, but that won't happen.
Cruz needs to go hard on Mario and hopefully knock him off.
Trump would be smart to go hard on Kasich before he becomes a factor in the midwest states,
and drive him into the dirt.
That leaves the GOPe with only Cruz or Trump going strong into the convention,
which means they'll back The Donald.
Not my preferred outcome but perhaps Cruz can leverage Veep.
I can't see Trump as worse than Kasich and Mario so that's okay for me.
But, I still would like Cruz to catch fire and have it be mano a mano between him and Trump-
then we could have a real issue laden debate and messages to lay before the American people instead of the silly little bitch fights which makes everyone look like 12 year old mean girls.

Big problem with the EO thing. It is currently illegal for Obama to bring the terrorists to the US. The only way to get around that is for Congress to change the law and as I mentioned there are a majority of Dems who don't want this either. Last November, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act by a vote of 91-3 and in that bill was language that specifically prohibited bringing GITMO prisoners to the US.
Yea, I know Obama like to ignore the law all the time but that is usually to ignore enforcing laws. This would require actively breaking the law and I think that might be a step too far even for Obama.

Carson said this morning that there have only been three nominating elections. If candidates were deemed selected by just three states, why not just amend the procedure and declare the candidate now? Let three states pick the nominee.
He is getting snarkier every time he is asked a question. I like it, but it is too late, IMO, for him to turn his ship around.

At this point, he's just a GOPe puppet.
I guarantee if Jeb! or Mario or Kasich were in the lead,
Carson would not be in any of the upcoming debates.
He's simply being the turd in the punchbowl and seems to relish that position.
If he had a way to the top, I'd say "go for it", but he doesn't. At. All.
My admiration for him is fading daily.

Obama said when relations were normalized with Cuba last year that he would not go there until the Cuban people were free (paraphrasing). The Cuban people are not free and when asked about why he was breaking his promise and visiting Cuba, he said because it would be "fun".
Greta seemed to believe that was a serious answer, she didn't seem to pick up that was Obama's typical

Why? He'd never pick up Rubio's supporters - they'll go to Kasich, etc. He could go after Carson and collect those but I think that's dicey at best. OTOH, Rubio going after Cruz does make sense, since Cruz supporters are either all or nothing [huge percentage] or Republican or nothing [the rest] and those will go to Rubio.
Posted by: Bigby's Pimp Hand at February 23, 2016 11:40 AM (3ZtZW)
In my mind, that's okay. This race needs to narrow down to 2 or possibly 3 men.
I think Kasich is an easy knock off if gone after properly.
Mario as well.
In a 3 man race, both Trump and Cruz are the strongest men up there.
What may screw all of this, is open primary states-
IMHO open primary states should only count half as much as closed primary states.
Republicans and Republicans only should choose their candidate.

Which, as an aside, reminds me of a recent experience. I attended the Orthodox burial of a neighbor, and also gave a ride to her elderly next-door neighbor.
I approached the Rabbi, who I have met before, and shook hands. As I introduced the neighbor lady she put out her hand, and the Rabbi recoiled slightly, explaining that he could not touch females.
My neighbor, who is a wonderful person, was slightly surprised (as was I), but not disturbed by the moment.
Ignorant me assumed that the 'no touch' was associated with occasion of a funeral. I looked it up went I returned home, and got some wisdom. Among the Orthodox, touching of any females other than wives/children by males is forbidden.
A very good rule when one thinks about it, but a little off-putting among those of us who take casual touching for granted.

Within a five minute time period at the top of the hour, all four networks mentioned Cruz being accused of being a liar by both Trump and Rubio and tied that into Cruz's request for Rick Tyler's resignation, with varying degrees of implications that this resignation was in fact an admission of guilt.

Turnout is up in every state so far and he's leading with key demographics. That going to be buttressed by other demographics and Independents in the general.
Remember that Republicans have had big issues with turnout in the general. Trump may very well reverse that trend.
This is all that notwithstanding other things, the number one issue is the economy. You can talk all day long about how Trump is a carnival barker, or dissemble into talk of bankruptcy, etc. but the man is seen as very strong on economic issues.
Repeating myself, the number one issue with voters.

And if you have the chance to go when you're a sitting President of the U.S., rather than one of a number of ex-presidents, you're guaranteed to get the red carpet treatment -- which is undoubtedly why Obama has decided to go now. (Also, there is the added benefit of having the taxpayers picking up the tab for the trip, just as with all his other lavish, and ludicrously expensive, vacations.)

I figured he would mellow after Iowa, where he thought he could win because of his religious bonafides.
And, going forward, not lean on it so much.
I'm hoping this is the case. He was on O'Reilly and made himself distinct from Trump and Rubio on the illegal alien issue.

Sure, TFG can nominate some Marxist to the court, as is his right as President. The Senate has no "obligation" at all, though, to hold hearings on the nominee. I'd schedule the hearings for November 9th, if I scheduled them at all.

Why fall in line again and support the R? Where has that gotten us in the past 8 years? 16 years? 24 years?

As others pointed out, Trump drew first blood.It wouldn't matter anyway. Eventually, Trump and Rubio have to come after Cruz because both know that he is the only one with supporters who might end up in their camp with him out (Rubio can't go after Kasich without looking like a complete dick to other establishmentarians). I know of no Rubio supporters who have Trump as a second choice, nor Trump supporters who could stomach Rubio. Cruz is their most fertile poaching ground.

First, that is totally hypocritical and says pretty bad things about you that you accept any behavior from Trump.
Second, Cruz couldn't have and shouldn't have ignored Trump's attacks without answering him. That would have made him appear weak. Here is the difference in his answers though. Every thing Cruz is saying and has said about Trump is true.

I really don't care if the David Brooks Republicans don't join Trump, they are a tiny sliver compared to all the crossover appeal he has, but if you think Hillary or Bernie Sanders would be better for America than Trump, you were never really a conservative to begin with.

"the American people will respond if these issues are properly discussed with them, and nobody really did until Trump, and he surged to the top," Sessions noted. "I think those issues have more power than he is being given credit for. They all want to say it's just his personality, or people are angry, they're thoughtless, they're not thinking. The American people are thinking, and they are concerned about both of these issues, and Trump has gained support on that."

I completely disagree with you there. Trump is saying things his supporters want to hear and that's ok. He is projecting to their tastes, that's what a brilliant salesman does. We know Trump by his past actions, hell we know all the other candidates by their past actions. It is neither dishonest to hold someone accountable to their past actions nor is it cherry picking to bring up actual video evidence of it when it is denied.
I support Cruz but disagree with some of his positions. For the most part Cruz has been consistent so I'm happy with that. Thing is one can't be upset for someone else bring up other candidates inconsistencies. Trump just happens to be the most inconsistent candidate on the republican side because he's been on camera so much and was a democrat most of his life. That's not conjecture or animus towards him just fact.

It's amazing the culture of victimization and paranoia some people on the right (well, given a very ample definition of right) have. Their entire worldview is based on one and only one principle: "those people think they are better than me, everything they say has the hidden meaning of degrading people like me, they're out to get me and if I'm not doing better it's because of them".
No matter if any of those things are true - some guy could say "the sun rises in the east" and the response would be "Sure. They know so much better. We rubes can't tell east from west or read a compass. Time to march to their cardinal points arrangement." (for some reason, they love the almost hegemonic use of sarcasm).
Someone should study this. It's very similar to what happens with black culture (and gives rise to the Al Sharptons/black lives matter of the world - even the inclination for conspiracy theories is similar) but I think at this point has actually got worse.

That really fucked him over. He doubled down on the holy rolling and then brought Beck into it just for good measure, and in the end he still couldn't pull most of the evangelical bloc. Time for a new strategy but it may already be too late.
Posted by: Burn It Down at February 23, 2016 11:59 AM (qHgBB)
As I recall, all that "holly-roller" stuff happened in Iowa, not New Hampshire or South Carolina. I do recall him giving testimony at some church he was invited to, but I didn't see it as much in South Carolina.
I think the media's expectation of him getting the majority of evangelical votes lends a false narrative to Cruz's "big loss" of evengelicals in South Carolina.

Capt John Woodward Philip in USS Texas led the bombardment that took Guantanamo, 15 June 1898. Two weeks later his squadron pursued as the Spanish fleet tried to break out of Santiago Bay. The Spanish ships were gallantly maneuvered, but had inferior coal, their powder had been sawdusted, and some had their guns removed. Like all large-vessel encounters the battle was a goat rope, but the Americans had the range and speed on them and they were utterly lost.
As the Spanish flagship lay burning, Philip said to his men, "Don't cheer, boys. Those poor devils are dying."
Some aboard Bismarck said the same about Hood. It's a battleship-sailor thing, perhaps the most humane battle cry ever uttered, and Stillwelesque in its uniquely American view of war. Grandest traditions of the Fleet.

Honestly.
This is some pitifully weak shit in the world of campaign dirty tricks.
(as you'll see once Hillary gets the nom)
I wish he was going after weak-ass Mario, twitchy Kasich, and Trump with some truly superb dirty tricks.
One reason I like Cruz is that he's the smartest guy in this pile of crap.
If he were actually planning and using dirty tricks, I'm sure it wouldn't this weak nonsense.
That being said, he now needs to put his position on his webpage (a few clicks deep, natch) about this silliness-
reference the page when it gets brought up, say it's old news and talk about what he wants to say.

I'm a Cruz voter and would vote for teh Trump whilst holding my nose if it came to that.
But if Rubio becomes the anointed one ,expect some protest write in votes for Cruz or Trump or a staycation at home on election day for many voters.
I can't bring myself to crossover the Rubicon. I don't see any REAL difference between Rubio and Hillary. You end up in 3rd world Hell with either one, but you take a slightly longer journey to get there with Rubes.

If a private business (restaurant, hotel, or any other biz) can be sued for discrimination if they choose to only let certain people in the door, why can Twitter not being sued for discrimination?

It isn't a dumb question but is a premise with which I disagree whole-heartedly.
I believe that any private business should be able to serve, or deny service to, anybody for any reason whatsoever. I want to KNOW that the asshole who owns a business is an asshole who doesn't want to serve me.
Societal and economic pressures will prevail and the worst will find themselves out of business.

I know what it does. I'm asking what benefit does anyone get out of it? Assume twitter was neutral and didn't discriminate based on political views. What is the upside of it? I just don't get the plus of having a never ending stream of 140 character messages thrown at you all day long.

Knew some Marines who served at GTMO, and they absolutely loved it. Actually had good relations with the Cubans at the fenceline too.
Dear heavens, I hope that imbecile doesn't try to give the whole base back. Surely THAT would be a hill to die on???

Gitmo holds a special place in my heart, too.
But, yes. TFG actually wants to give the whole thing back. I think he's trying to out-Jimmy Jimmy Carter with his Panama Canal deal.

Now if we could only do something about those guns and allowing Repuglicans to vote, I could get a decent night's sleep.

Working memory overload, Ace? Hardly.
It's called denial. Their beliefs are narcissism based.
They NEED to feel good about themselves and theysee themselves as wonderful. Admitting their motives are "selfish" would damage that belief.
So the denial kicks in. Dr. Sanity liked to point out such people tend to suffer from pathological denial of reality and the examples in your prior post are textbook.

Speaking of
For many years, off and on, I've been bookmarking links, mostly political but could be anything linkable - on my "blog heap o'links" page (yeah, stuck myself with that dumb name long ago - link in nic).
Basically, nobody goes there, and that's fine, because I just did it so I could easily re-find things I liked. It's not all the latest news or anything - but I do link to Vic, Political Hat, Gates of Vienna and other sites that keep up with the current.
Well, the other day I emailed BlazingCatFur that I liked the photos they publish, and in passing as a courtesy mentioned that I frequently link or h/t BCF stories.
Lo and b'hold, BCF linked to the blog-heap in a post. Looking at the stats, my hits spiked majorly after that... for one day only, as such things go.
Had to happen during a few days when I've not had a lot of time to post things, wouldn'tcha know.
Hey, brunch is served. Huevos con arroz y frijoles. ¡Olé!

I think a lot of the right jumped on twitter around the time of the Wiener thing. It was exciting to watch the whole thing come across in real time and get to talk at some of the players.
Then again I found about the backlash myself and got off the damn thing. There is still some asshole out there claiming I hacked Tony Weiner's account.

This idea that he's only in this race spending millions of his own money just to tip the scales in Hillary's favor because they're secret vagina buddies is weapons great retard truther level thinking.
Posted by: Burn It Down at February 23, 2016 11:52 AM (qHgBB)
Weapons-grade truther level thinking is believing that George W. Bush deliberately lied about Iraq WMDs in order to get us into war with them. Which is what Trump said, but I'm sure you're cool with that so, whatever.
All I'm doing is interpreting Trump's current behavior in light of his very, very recent past as a loyal Democrat -- Donating money to Pelosi, talking up single-payer health insurance, supporting Hillary's 2008 run. Oh what's that? He doesn't believe in those things any more? He changed his mind now, and it's "dishonest" for Republicans to call attention to them? So if he pledges to prosecute Hillary, I guess we're supposed to expect he won't change his mind about that, too.
