2016 elections - because it's never too early

[alfred russel]

I think it will play poorly. Debates are the most important events during a campaign. Skipping one because you thought a reporter was mean to you in the last one is ridiculous.

It is ridiculous. But it will play well. You will see.

I'm not second-guessing Trump on this. Probably makes him look presidential (he'll hold his own event during the debate) but the other beta niceguys get to engage in a circular firing squad while getting emasculated by Megyn Kelly.

I'm not going to be brave enough to predict how this will play out.  Definitely seems like a big gamble, but a big gamble with a potential payoff.  It could be the hubris-fueled beginning of his downfall, or it could be another strong power move.  If his town hall has bigger ratings than the debate, that would certainly be amusing.

A question: do you actually see everything in terms of "seduction community" sexual politics? I mean, when you look at a chemical reaction, is the first thought in your head "look at those alpha male molecules bonding like crazy?" 

[Legbiter]

It's just sales man. And Trump is a master salesman, turning the campaign into pro wrestling and sidelining the establishment.

He's running away from a debate because he's scared a girl might pick on him. 
That doesn't seem that tough and virile to me. 

[mongers]

he comes across as a 10 or 11 year old bully, certainly not a mature 12 year old.

Again you have to look at who is the target of this message.  Many of them were likely bullied by girls in their pre-teen years.

I would say more misinformed and or very skewed values. Though if you three say they were bullied by girls, well I guess you all would know I guess.

He's just negging her.  Yeah, that's it...

Remember, they're all single males over 30 who masturbate to hentai.

Well yes, at first glance Trump appears petulant and whiney. Maybe narcissistic, fascist, and a little bit of Hitler too.

Yet he's succeeded in making it all about him again. Cruz just challenged him to a 1 on 1 debate. 

Trump has a skill set that absorbs mistakes and turns them into whatever he wants them to be.

It is whispered in the halls of those in the know that Trump, like Ron Paul before him, will Make Anime Real.
