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

Oh yeah, the electorate? We're miiiiiighty smart.

lol 'voters have incredible intuition'

'but some people can fake it and fool voters'

intuition about who is the best faker

“If he got in the race for the nomination my guess is he would win South Carolina,” said Richard Quinn, a Republican political consultant.

oh stop it

polls have clinton over biden in south carolina, 67 to 10. i know it's early and they haven't done many polls there but

classic GOP ratfucking. Bill Kristol did it a couple months ago re Sanders

One of the bloggers I read calls that "Helpful Advice From Your Mortal Enemies."

if Nixon's Plumbers were around they'd be working overtime to get Sanders the nom.

lol @ "Biden supporters"

omg

cruz has democrat birthers. smh.

Ted Cruz looks like he is filled with water.

Like, he is just a big water balloon that might start leaking at any moment

lol "don't look at THAT unqualified loudmouthed bozo, look at THIS unqualified loudmouthed bozo!"

Two women -- a protester and a Bush supporter -- stood a few feet from the candidate with their middle fingers extended in each other's faces.

ahh john dewey's proverbial conversation on the street corner

looking anew at Mrs. Fiorina, who rose from being a secretary to running the giant technology company HP

Someone let the editors know they misspelled "ruining."

In 2012, 48 percent of voters in the New Hampshire Republican primary called themselves moderate or liberal.

wtf this is absolutely bizarre - unless it includes Democrats voting in their primary (which I guess is possible?)

lol at "someone else" getting 1% in that poll. WHO'S LEFT?

Palin and/or Ted Nugent

yeah I don't see this hoohaw as anything other than an attempt to put Reagan on the ballot

hoo boy, if you'd like a nice intellectualized gloss on the male paranoid and white-nationalist ideas underlying the 'cuckstervative' phenomenon, check out this string of tweets

John Durant ‏@johndurant 2h 2 hours ago

Consider Romney. He *should* have been an alpha (tall, deep voice, successful, big family) but he was cowed by Mormonism into beta behavior.

My point: the primary definition of #cuckservative is sexual, and is a criticism of the lack of masculinity and game in GOP leaders.

John Durant ‏@johndurant 1h1 hour ago
Of course, sex leads to babies, families, extended families, clans, populations, and races. So there is a racial / loyalty to kin angle too.

John Durant ‏@johndurant 1h1 hour ago
But sex comes before babies (and population genetics), and thus the sexual definition of #cuckservative also come before racial ones.

John Durant ‏@johndurant 1h1 hour ago
Cuck porn often involves a black man since they're generally *more masculine* (higher T, muscles, penis, game). Sex dynamics, not race alone

John Durant ‏@johndurant 1h1 hour ago
The establishment Right *wants* race to be primary definition of #cuckservative so, like manlets, they can use same shaming tactics as Left

really cool gilded age we're living in, got the 19th century politics bubbling up to match

hmm funny the last time I had sex it didn't lead to babies

i don't know who john durant is and i will try not to ever find out

the rand paul/trump feud is getting kinda funny:

Recently, Rand Paul called me and asked me to play golf. I easily beat him on the golf course and will even more easily beat him now, in the world in the politics.

I can't parse 2/3rds of that

xp

so John Durant wants a male GOP candidate he can sexually fantasize about?

also I am confused about how Mormonism is *not* sexily patriarchal enough - it's possibly the MOST sex-focused, patriarchal branch of xtianity ever

Between the Disney channel secret cuckolding thing and cuckservative, far-right obsessions get weirder and weirder.

oh i think those were pushed by the same people

LOL otm

p surprised "muscles, penis, game" hasn't been grabbed as a dn yet tbh.

also loving all this debate over the origins/proper useage of a racist slight that arose from the depths of 4chan and the inability of those who employ its use to try and reappropriate as anything meaningful. like, these dudes are adopting the lexicon of the scummiest scum on the internet and they are trying to play it off like its some kind of think piece worthy slam. smdh til whiplash

Whoops replace "inability of" with "attempt to" apologies for confusion

Cuck porn often involves a black man since they're generally *more masculine* (higher T, muscles, penis, game). Sex dynamics, not race alone

I may be overreacting here but right now I'm of the opinion that anyone who says things like this with a straight face should be murdered.

xp
The word has been around, with all its racial implications, long before 4chan.

I don't know about murdered, perhaps just forced to walk around carrying a placard emblazoned with their statement.

and then murdered

i took a look at the twitter data and it won't suprise you to know that people who use the word 'cuckservative' are:

overwhelmingly male (90%), disproportionately likely to live in texas, virginia, arizona, michigan and the south east, and the word often appears alongide terms like #whitegenocide, 'white race' and 'trump'.

I don't know about murdered, perhaps just forced to walk around carrying a placard emblazoned with their statement.

that durant dude is a minor player in the scheme of things but he's an interesting figure in the "internetization" of the rightward turn back to pre-ww2 forms of conservatism

he went to harvard for evolutionary psychology, wrote a book about paleo, crossfit booster, is big into (as you can see) pickup/antifeminist ideas as much as the caveman biohacking type stuff

he's also a to-the-manor-born conservative: his dad clark durant is a catholic education exec from michigan and ex-reagan staffer. he ran for senate unsuccessfully in '12

as i tried to argue earlier, the attraction of these kinds of people to trump is ZERO about what trump actually want ("policy" beyond border enforcement) and entirely about affect and attitude. trump is as bigot and a bully.
