- Yup. In politics optics matter a lot more than they should. - TWuG Feb 19, 11:11
Agreed. "Punchline" about covers it. -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 11:04

- Not surprised. It amuses me. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:01
Pay no attention to the man behind the water bottle. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 10:57 1
- So pay no attention to Rubio? - amoxy Feb 19, 11:00
I guess "moment" is more accurate. - Spawn Feb 19, 10:54
Isn't everything that happens an incident? -- nm - mara Feb 19, 10:51
I love how the GOP keeps trotting out the same tired arsed "ideas" that kept them from winning the Presidency in 2008 and 2012. - Diva Feb 19, 10:50 12
- "Maybe if we tried it in Hispanic." -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 11:08
- Yes, but the water bottle thing is more funny. -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 10:59
- The same ideas that won them the Presidency in 80, 84, 88, 00 and 04? - Strongbad Feb 19, 10:54 9
  - Reagan wouldn't win the nomination in this GOP so we can strike 1980 & 1984 from the ideas of this discussion. - Will Hunting Feb 19, 11:18
  - They've won the popular vote one out of the last six elections. Those ideas are clearly unpopular, at least for POTUS. -- nm - David Feb 19, 11:04 5
    - I just want to understand what ST's POV here - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:08 4
      - The ideas have gone *much* further right (it's a race to the right, in fact) while the electorate has stayed largely in the middle. - David Feb 19, 11:12 2
        
        The GOP needs to figure out a way to get throught he primaries without painting themselves into a corner policywise. See Mitt Romney. - con_carne Feb 19, 11:15 1
        
        This describes every presidential election (on both sides of the aisle) for as long as I remember. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:17
      - I would say that they have swung rightward, and the electorate has swung leftward relative to that. - Reagen Feb 19, 11:10
  - Uhm, the ideas have not changed. That is the point of his post. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 10:55 1
    - exactly. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 10:57
hey, we let you guys have Obamacare... -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 10:47
