scott walker has some doozies of his own - https://twitter.com/scottwalker/status/629033517939163136

"...plus he has literally less than zero percent chance of winning--I admire that about him, too."

bahah this was the first response to the scott walker tweet above for me:

@ScottWalker @GOP shut up bitch

"OK, candidates, what about the rest of you?"

"Dr. Carson."

"Dr. Carson."

"Yeah, Dr. Carson."

"Me too."

"Don't take this the wrong way, but you're all losers"--may hear that once.

yeah i'm torn between wanting trump to play it cool and extend the legs of his campaign (esp since we're finally starting to get the 'guys it's time to take donald trump seriously' pieces) and wanting him to make jeb and rubio cry

I know now why you want them to cry, but it's something they can never do.

I admire and worship Scott Walker for his ability to walk on water

Not sure that 'money raised' really bothers Trump that much.

(and as such massive lol that Santorum's still raised less - whatta dick)

yeah, they should have changed that category to just "MONEY"

although there does seem to be a split among people who believe trump would willingly spend a billion+ dollars of his own money, vs. people who think he would not.

Trump would never spend a billion of his own money for this. I guarantee it. He enjoys the attention, but his only motivation for running is imagining how amazing it would be to be president and go on a rampage. He'd make Stalin seem mild-mannered and statesmanlike.

Well, that and the attention.

I'm not sure that saying he never would isn't buying into the idea of him as shrewd businessman, as opposed to a man with an unshakable faith in the power of his brand.

But I don't imagine that he has much of a national campaign infrastructure?

He also may be savvy enough about how the country works in 2015 to not spend hundreds of millions on television ads.

Looks like finding a stream tonight might be difficult. I've got a movie anyway. Hope to come home to highlights like this.

Democrats, enjoying the spectacle are pushing the idea that the overcrowded GOP field has become a “clown car” with Trump at the wheel. The 40-odd Republican operatives, donors and campaign officials we interviewed for this assessment of where the race stands at this official kickoff point disagreed—but mostly about the metaphor, characterizing the contest instead as more of a runaway train, with a crowd of wannabes wrestling for control.

The Day the Clown Car Cried

a clown call full of millionaires and one dude who owes sears 50k

If Scott Walker wins, I wonder how much leverage Sears would have on the executive branch.

It is kind of amazing to me that with all the changes in the Internet and the density of content out there, I cannot just search "far side" and some keywords and find a specific Gary Larson cartoon wedged in my brain since age 9. Oh well.

Wouldn't be the first time a president has been bought on layaway.

5 est

aw yea

I'm sorry, 9 eastern apparently? The "kids table" secondary debate is at 5

it's okay, that first one might be more fun

is that one streaming?

apparently you can only stream it by somehow authenticating that you have cable and could watch it on TV instead. oh well. will look forward to the highlight reel i guess.

I can't get the authentication to work though it did for a minute; servers are super fucked. good going FOX news.

His dreams of future greatness are being crushed to dust and blown away on a hot, dry wind.
