I finally saw my first (and, so far, only) Super Tuesday primary ad on Friday - prayformojo Feb 28, 09:13 5
- I've had quite a few for Rubio, 1 or 2 for Cruz. I also have a Trump yard sign on my commute home. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 10:04 1
  - That's also very strange - there are ZERO yard or street signs here. - prayformojo Feb 28, 10:06
- Cruz is running one against Rubio. I just don't understand what these strategists are thinking. -- nm* - David Feb 28, 09:17 1
  - I don't get it either. At this point, the goal should be a 35-35-30 split where you keep Trump's delegates down - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:30
- We got a pretty wussy one for Rubio, too. - Dark Callisto Feb 28, 09:17

  - Just leave us Betty White and Bob Newhart! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 28, 10:25
- Feck. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 08:59 5
  - This was more accurate than I expected. Frank Kelly was Father Jack, not Father Ted. - Beryllium Feb 28, 09:01 4
    - Dermot Morgan, who was Father Ted, died 18 years ago today. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 28, 09:12 3

Marco Rubio's Super Tuesday path is clear -- (link) - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:28 39
- I thought his path was just to make sure that Trump doesn't get enough delegates so he can win in a brokered convention. -- nm - Dano Feb 28, 08:35
- Part of me is not sure what else he could have done here. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:31 37
  - He's just a lousy candidate. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:34 1
    - Not true. The Marcobot was a lousy candidtae but now he is the Termina... okay, I just can't. -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 09:10

    - GOP by a long shot. This business is getting out of control. It's out of control and the party will be lucky to live through the night. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:49
    - Hillary not seeing Obama coming. The difference is politics has 'rules'. Obama followed the 'rules' whereas Trump hasn't - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:40
    - GOP, because there is clearly enough ammo on Trump for someone to have taken him down in the past 8 months - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:36
    - GOP by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. Obama's selection didn't hurt the party. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:35 6
      - This. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 08:43
      - This. Trump might end up destroying the GOP - TWuG Feb 28, 08:37 3
        
        outright cultivation of these things. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 28, 09:21
        
        Or unifying it as Slytherin incarnate. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:38 1
        
        No Trump in this race is a fascinating counter-factual. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 09:03
      - [deleted]
  - he's just a terrible candidate who the Beltway media wants to delude themselves into believing is GOP Latino Obama -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:34 23
    - We ain't going to see another Obama in the near-term. They just don't happen. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:37 22
      - and that pesky issue of not winning anything yet -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:43 6
        
        For the only stat that matters, he's won 16 delegates. Cruz 17 and Trump 82. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 08:52 2
        
        Yay? -- nm - David Feb 28, 09:01
        
        he needs to win something. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:59
        
        Even Cruz won one and people hate him. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:44 2
        
        Iowa doesn't mean squat. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:44 1
        
        The vagaries of Iowa aside, Rubio still hasn't won anything. -- nm* - Diva Feb 28, 08:47
      - he can't convince half the "sane" part of the GOP that he's any better than Ted Cruz. Ted. Cruz. -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:40 8
        
        We have no idea what exists of the sane part of the GOP. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:43 7
        
        Rubio was elected to the senate as a Tea Party darling -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:45 6
        
        So? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 09:59 1
        
        So you would think he has as much claim to the Tea Party vote as Ted -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 10:09
        
        And isn't one now. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:46 3
        
        Then he's also dumb for not wanting votes -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:01 2
        
        The GOP establishment has won every time for 50 years...why would you not want that? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:07 1
        
        Cause they're the ones running the party now -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:17
      - I honestly don't understand what you see in him that's positive. He's pyrite. - David Feb 28, 08:39 5
        
        So far, he's the only GOPer with a shot I've seen articulate anything in the cesspool of Trump. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:42 4
        
        I've seen you say this several times, and I view it as like arguing 50 Shades for Best Picture. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:45 3
        
        No, that'd be arguing Trump or Cruz. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:49 2
        
        Yeah, I think you're mostly right about Rubio. And he's not media concocted, he's party-concocted. - Beryllium Feb 28, 08:53
        
        I'm sure some people passionately defend 50 Shades, too. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:52

        I thought Rylance was by far the best in his category...and then I saw Revenant. Hardy was *incredible*. - kelly Feb 28, 09:08 3
