The tidbit I shared came RIGHT NOW from CNN, RIGHT NOW.

I mean, approximately when did you get that tidbit?  Ballpark, give or take.
Pretty much right before I posted it.

I'll be damned.  I'm starting to get a little bit hopful.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

If the Republicans run a competent, sane candidate, this probably would have been a red landslide.

Trump mirrors Selina.

You just don't get the Trump phenomenon if you think a bland conventional candidate would do better. Did you step out of a time machine from 2015 and miss the past five years? All those dudes lost. Trump crushed them. And the viable candidates that remain are all Trump types now.

There are few bland conventional types you love but they are outsiders.

At least right now. I have no idea what the Republican Party looks like in the future.

But you cannot be both a competent sane candidate and generate massive amounts of populist furor.

It's so weird to me to see our Languish conservatives rooting for the fall of the Republican president. :unsure:

I mean, I understand this isn't a normal Republican or president, but still....
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If Trump was a Democrat and he was running against some ancient establishment Republican from the 1990s I would be rooting for that dude as well.

Let's make it to 2024 first before we start worrying about it.

If Trump were a Dem, I would be a rabid Republican.

I wonder if DGuller would? Actually, I wonder how many of our lefties would abandon a left wing version of Trump....

It's a certainty. Georgia is a swing state now.
