2016 elections - because it's never too early

[alfred russel]

Yeah, I wonder if he has made himself unelectable in the future?

Has he ever been electable?

[Barrister]

So apparently Cruz's chances of taking Indiana tanked after he announced his alliance with Kasich and his VP pick.

1. These aren't poll numbers - these are prediction markets.  So people who play those markets think Trump's chances have improved.

2. It's Breitbart - which has been pretty damn open about throwing it's support behind Trump.

[Martinus]

To me, prediction markets are much much more credible than polls.

Since he holds an elected office I would say the answer is probably yes. 

The question is whether he has done so much damage to himself that he will not win another election.

Why would you think that? He is who he thought he was. A right wing dumbass that other politicians don't like. They apparently like that sort in Texas.

Also, Carly Fiorina was a terrible VP choice. If you need to throw a hail mary, don't throw it to the 5'2 and slow white guy without any ups.

The Onion summed it all up--

"This is just the shot in the arm Cruz's campaign needed months ago."

"He couldn't have picked a better, more capable scapegoat."

I saw some of the one liners from Obama's speech.  Some pretty good stuff there.  I liked the line about the last time he was this high he was deciding his undergraduate major.

The smell of desperation is repulsive to voters.

Desperation moves never work out. If he was going to pull a crazy VP maneuver like this he should have done it a month ago when he was at his height. Now, he just seems pathetic.

What a loser! Sad!

Yeah we are not getting any smarter when it comes to electing politicians. Dubya was a giant compared to the morons we are electing now. I even miss the corrupt, incompetent, but basically harmless Rick Perry.

This is turning out to be one kinky primary season...

Ted Cruz: Protester would get spanking at my house
Donovan Slack, USA TODAY 1:01 p.m. EDT May 2, 2016

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has made no secret of the fact that he spanks his daughter when she misbehaves. He has also suggested the American people should deliver a "spanking" to Hillary Clinton.

Now, he is prescribing the same discipline for a protester who interrupted him during a rally in Indiana on Sunday.

"Apparently there's a young man who's having some problems," Cruz said as the man yelled: "You suck!"

"Thank you, son," Cruz replied, before adding that he believes "children should actually speak with respect."

"Imagine what a different world it would be if someone had told Donald Trump that years ago," he said. "You know, in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking."

The exchange comes as Cruz and Trump are stumping for every last vote heading into to the Republican primary in Indiana on Tuesday. Trump leads Cruz by roughly 9 percentage points, 42%-32.7%, in the RealClearPolitics average of recent Hoosier polls. A win there could help solidify Trump's claim to the nomination, while dealing Cruz a formidable blow.

Oh, Ted, you can't solve all your problems by delivering spankings; no matter what Ilsa movies would have you believe.

[Valmy]

Wait there are multiple Ilsa movies? Um...not that that interests me at all.
