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

ie "what if we forced a gay florist to provide flowers to an evangelical wedding" etc.

I feel like gay florists have provided flowers to many evangelical weddings

what are the odds

and so many marriages end in divorce!!

WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?!?!

sorry, i was channeling ted cruz there

although i forgot to somehow tie it into ISIS and "liberal intolerance"

I feel like 80% of Cruz's public persona is overcompensation for how terrible his voice is.

He looks like a guy wearing a mask to me. Not metaphorically- I'm saying he looks like he's preparing to rob a bank.

and how terrible his hair is, how much he looks like a man who retains an intensive amount of water...

He just looks hastily cobbled together, generally speaking.

... how big a load he just dumped into the pants he's wearing... xp

What might disagree with your state idol. Provide.

"Rainy game fried brain" by zombie gordon lightfoot

ted cruz looks like mr bean

Cmon Mr. Bean is a total beav compared to Ted Cruz

If the word "unctuous" didn't exist we'd have to coin it just for Cruz.

Helpless thank thank you feel punishment me but you know hundred billion dollar.

my former editor compared Cruz to

That's about right. Except creepier and more ass-kissy, like a courtier who thinks if he flatters and/or kills the right people he'll become king himself.

Exactly. He looks just like some guy wearing that Reagan mask... which is probably really good for his campaign tbh

I always wonder if it occurs to those guys how little Reagan means to half the country

It does, and that's part of why they're so angry: they can sense that their ideas are not widely shared and that their politics is not a general-election winner - and that pisses them off. They wish they could get a different electorate.

To be fair, so do liberals a lot of the time.

from the NYT story about the Mobile rally:

“Hopefully, he’s going to sit there and say, ‘When I become elected president, what we’re going to do is we’re going to make the border a vacation spot, it’s going to cost you $25 for a permit, and then you get $50 for every confirmed kill,’ ” said Jim Sherota, 53, who works for a landscaping company. “That’d be one nice thing.”

Fuckin a

I looked at his Facebook page, it's mostly celebratory links about people getting killed while committing crimes and pictures of guns he wants to buy

I tried to find that quote & didn't see it - link?

found it, good god

"we’re going to make the border a vacation spot, it’s going to cost you $25 for a permit, and then you get $50 for every confirmed kill,’

Countdown to a Banksy billboard on the border. 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...

I watched about 20 minutes of Trump yesterday. At no point will he be attacked for reliance on a teleprompter. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so stream-of-consciousness.

i guess it's p cool that the conservative base in 2015 is willing to lend an ear to progressive ideas, e.g., SOCIALIZED MEDICINE -- as long as they are being espoused by and angry white racist with an (R) after his name.

i hate to say GAFFE, but

check out JEB!'s left hand on the right side of the picture.

http://mic.com/articles/124262/jeb-bush-pac-accidentally-mails-out-photos-of-bush-s-head-on-black-man-s-body

then they mailed it out to 86,000 people in iowa. (mh did you get one?)

sorry, not a "gaffe" because of course super PACs have zero coordination with the candidates (tee hee)

why, jeb?

Trying to figure out which direction the racism's flowing here.

the white seems to have destroyed almost his entire body, so i'd say right to left

it also looks like there's a feather coming out of his pants

the fingers on his right hand look like Milano cookies

Oh man, didn't even notice you can see some of the original dude's hand there too. What a fucking bizarre thing to do.

Like every picture of Jeb Bush in his private life isn't him in a pair of khakis and an oxford shirt in exactly that pose. Probably looks like that in the shower. So why DO something so weird and pointless?
