If Trump's poll numbers are so bad, and Fox News are cheering for him, how are Fox's viewer numbers doing so well? - Max Mar 30, 07:56 13

- I was thinking about this on the drive in to work. I'd prefer you stay out of my head, Max. -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 08:14
- because some people in the middle/left watch Fox News. -- nm* - Strongbad Mar 30, 08:03

    - I guess there's a job opportunity for me. 👍 -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 07:55 2
      - Though I'm not really tough looking and less hairy than most Italians. My 5 o'clock shadow actually comes in on time. - Krusty Mar 30, 08:00 1
        
        his 5 O clock shadow starts on his face and ends on his lower back. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:34

Ty97, I think you'll start to see more moderate GOP primary challengers vs some of these guys - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:25 9
- Eh. Unless they get Trump's backing they're dead in the water. And if they do, it'll be out of spite, not any rational appeal to moderate sensibility. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 07:30 6
  - He's at 35% -- having his backing isn't a good thing either. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:37 4
    - But what is he at in those districts? That's the important part. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:38 3
      - More importantly, where is he with the republican base likely to turn out for a primary in those districts -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 08:25
      - In Georgia-06 (since that's voting soon), he was at 51-41 in early March. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:51 1
        
        He only won the district by 1-2 points in November IIRC -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 07:59
  - You shouldn't assume it'll be him, not Pence. -- nm - mud Mar 30, 07:34
- I agree we'll see the challengers, I'm just not sure if they will gain traction? -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:26 1
  - Depends on if the industries open the pursestrings. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:26
It definitely is still early, but who would have thought that one of the most *potentially* damaging things to the GOP would be....winning -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:24 8
- Could it be that "Republican" is too broad a term and that the FC should really be its own party? -- nm - Max Mar 30, 07:30 5
  - I think without ranked choice voting, it's political suicide to identify as third-party. We're stuck with poorly-defined factions. -- nm - mara Mar 30, 07:36 3
    - Nobody would willingly split off, but I just mean maybe things would make more sense if an arbiter forced a 3-party system. - Max Mar 30, 07:40 1
      - It *would* make more sense, and that's why ranked-choice voting makes more sense. :-) -- nm* - mara Mar 30, 07:55
    - yep -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:38
  - Both parties have factions that differ somewhat significantly in what they want, but we are so tied to the two parties, you basically have to choose - ty97 Mar 30, 07:33
- The analogy of the dog finally catching the car is more and more apt. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 07:26
- *raises hand* I've been saying for months, Give them everything they want. They can't handle it. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:26
