a clown car full of millionaires: the 2016 presidential primary thread

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.

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

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

what time is this on so i can clown it

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.

Lindsay Graham seems super depressed.

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

my dad showed up in my facebook sidebar thing (basically the kids table debate to the main debate of the facebook's main feed) with a response to a fox news post asking readers for their questions for the candidates. he wrote

"Many 0lder republicans think that the democrats have shifted m0re to the left in the last 30 years and their party has also sh1fted to the left. How do you answer that thinking?"

sigh

(googleproofed so my dad doesn't ground me)

I never watch Fox News in primetime. Not only the programming that's weird, but the array of advertisers and the tone of the ads. It's all paranoia central!

fiorina's not bad at the game (not that it makes any difference)
i suppose there's slightly above negligible possibility she cd be vp pick (esp in political context of hillary)

Karl, there used to be a right wing of the Democratic Party that catered to a particular brand of socially conservative, hawkish politics. Back in the day, the journalistic shorthand for this was "the Scoop Jackson wing". It consisted of middle aged white guys who were both union members and VFW members. The Republicans captured them about 30 years ago, along with sweeping in most of the southern racists who used to make up the 'solid south' for the dems. So your dad is not entirely batshit.

off to a gr8 start

the livestream won't load for me :(

Oh my god

This answer is bazonk

OK, I still have no idea what makes Cruz run. This guy seems like such a sack of soggy potatoes.

But anyway, this stream - the last one above worked for me - is so WWF.

I get what they're after, but while I watch it all I can think is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36OHZ51o2qo

And the smiles of the hosts, it's like they're in on the joke.

I mean, this is hilarious, but at the same time, it is scary as hell.

Like, I don't know what to think. Throw up in my mouth? Pack up the bags? Probably both.

these people are nuts

I hope Jeb speaks Spanish.

I know I know he's capable just hope he does it

Kind of amazing that Bush is the leader, because he seems so dull compared to these human cartoons. It's a lose-lose. Lunatic v. loser.

Interesting: I just dropped "Jeb Bush" into four different anagram generators, and got literally no results. Have we ever had an anagram-proof president!?!

Like, seriously, this is like an SNL cold open with even fewer laughs.

John Ellis Bush, on the other hand...

Jobless Huh Nil
