It's hilarious to me how Twitter now freaks out with BREAKING NEWS every time Chris Christie schedules a news conference - ty97 Mar 3, 09:25 9
- In other words, he is actually benefiting from his Trump endorsement? -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:29 4
  - not at all. The press conference is probably about the looming transit strike but it's not impossible that he could resign. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:32 3
    - he'll never resign. I bet Transit -- nm - decline Mar 3, 09:36
    - Did anyone care about his press conferences before? -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:36 1

Assume Trump wins the nom and loses the general. Which way do GOP voters go in 2020? Is anyone from this year irreparably damaged? -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:18 13
- Since Rubio was dead on arrival, they'll need to find someone new. -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:42
- Rubio, Halley, and I have to think there are a bunch of capable people out there that we just don't know about yet. -- nm - mara Mar 3, 09:25 3
  - Do we think the voters tack back to the center or continue going anti-establishment? -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:27 2
    - I think they'll keep going anti-establishment, because the establishment is not meeting their concerns. - Roger More Mar 3, 09:31

- I've speculated on this but ST has shut me down. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 09:20 8
  - Better to be shut down than ignored. -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:41 2
    - I concur. It's heartening to see that ST is still willing to put up with my crazy enough to respond to it. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 09:51 1
      - this is funny..... - groiny Mar 3, 09:55
  - You own the night on ST Mop, and you cannot be stopped. -- nm - Diva Mar 3, 09:21 4
    - Is... there another Mop on ST I'm not aware of? -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 09:52 1
      - There can be only one! -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:54
    - woooorrrrrddddd -- nm - Epiphany Mar 3, 09:40

  - yes - fascination is the word. I was up until 11:30pm 2 nights in a row watching punditry about all this. -- nm - Diva Mar 3, 09:19 6
    - doesn't it speak volumes about the state of politics, that people are going with the guy who has no political background? -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:21 4
      - It really says something that many people find an eccentric billionaire with awful hair and a gold-leaf fetish more relatable than anyone in politics -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:27 3
        
        yeah, that is kind of what I am saying. - groiny Mar 3, 09:28 2
        
        Yep, I am in 100% agreement with you. -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:42 1
        
        truth be told, I do not even disagree with alot of the shit Trump says - groiny Mar 3, 09:53
    - same here, I'm riveted -- nm - decline Mar 3, 09:20
- I am still amazed there are people here that do not think he will. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:16 2
  - I'll bet you on it. -- nm - ML Mar 3, 09:17 1
    - I quit doing bets. I beat David but never got around to "collecting". There is no joy in it. - Spawn Mar 3, 09:22

    - Here you go. -- (link) - znufrii, older Mar 3, 09:28
- man, does this place even more pressure on the GOP. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:19 1

- I hope they can get Depp to play him in Game Change: 2016 -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:17

- Yeah, I talked about that stuff on ST years ago. Good stuff. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:37
If Trump winds up on the Republican ticket, the Hillary campaign should just run Romney quotes in their political ads. -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:13 3
- I am guessing there will be 30-40 Republican Quotes she can use in the General -- nm - amoxy Mar 3, 09:16
- "He is the only person in America to whom we have added an article before his name. It wasn't because he had attributes we admired. " -- nm - decline Mar 3, 09:15
- I believe that Romney is giving this speech in full knowledge that they will. - ML Mar 3, 09:15
I'm just putting it out there. Sarah Paulson, 40, is dating Holland Taylor, 72. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 09:12 6
- don't you crush on young twentysomethings all the time? from a ratio perspective it's not at all dissimilar. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 3, 09:21 4
  - Yeah, but a 45yr old still has 30-40 years of life... - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:24 3
    - I thought she said "dating"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:28 2
      - Given how long they've been dating, I'd tend to believe it's a more serious relationship - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:29 1
        
        Ah. I had not heard it (and had to Google them both to remember who they even are). -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:43
