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

Trump's supporters are leaning out their windows yelling they're mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore.

Yeah any sound coming out of Trump's mouth equates to LOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATME

I think people are sick of the Clintons and Bushes and that's the main reason he is polling well.

i heard an NPR report use a "mad as hell" intro for a Sanders rally. will the Real Howard Beale plz staand up?

The one who appears regularly on a 'reality' tv show would seem a better fit for Howard Beale, imo.

also, the marginally insane one.

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.

it's a testiment to his talent that he's not just a token villainous character actor, he's totally got the face and creepiness (see: Skeleton Twins)

ty burrell always very vaguely reminded me of andreas katsulas

totally

he looks like Daniel Day-Lewis if he were Daniel Day-Lewipopoplous

eeee

now that's dedication

have we all seen Trump's fed judge sister? also has big hair.

guys: https://www.yahoo.com/politics/jeb-bush-super-pac-blames-shadow-for-mailer-that-127409993016.html

Nice try, super-PAC.

On Saturday, Right to Rise spokesman Paul Lindsay explained that in the original photo, a woman standing next to Bush cast a dark shadow on his hand.

this just in, we have a photo of the woman in question at work

Odd that the shadow actually brightens the fingernails but what do i know about light.

It's such a minor, meaningless (albeit also confusingly pointless) fuck-up that the fact that anyone would feel the need to actually lie about it is massively telling imo.

what's next? a GOP candidate with fake hair?

and yet more hole-digging from Camp Jeb

hahahahaha omg he is so bad at this

he makes Poppy look like FDR.

also today, scott walker is demanding that obama cancel a state visit from xi jinping, because of the stock market

Turns out there's a Scott Walker I want to hear shut up more than the guy who recorded Tilt, who knew.

I see Pierce Nieinbus is claiming Trump is a "net positive" for the GOP - not so worried about that latino vote after all I guess

He. I just saw on twitter that his positivity rating among hispanics is -51%. Which, if true, is pretty impressive.

I love the idea of positive numbers so low they're negative. It's like a political fat joke.

"Your positivity rating is so low ..."

"How low is it!?!"

"It's so low, when it hit -51% they popped a bottle of champagne!"

So tempted to cross party lines and vote Trump in the primary, just to watch the GOP squirm.

Trying to imagine Clinton tonight, watching the Biden-Obama story. Bill, I mean. He might possibly see some indebtedness there.

Rick Perry couldn't pay his Iowa chairman

shocking!

maybe it was something he said??

Awesome! Unsourced factoid from random guy on twitter was correct! I'm going to assume that will always be the case.

So if it wasn't for Trump, both Texans are the least favorable candidates for Hispanics.

Jeb! is a Texan, sorta.

yeah but he's busy figuring out how to insult other continents

'there's gotta be a better way!'

% share of candidate contributions coming from people giving less than $200
Clinton: 13
Sanders: 77
Bush: 1
Rubio: 8
Walker: 0
Cruz: 11

(in other words, 77% of the contributions to sanders' campaign have from people who gave less than $200)

http://www.cfinst.org/pdf/federal/president/2016/Pres16_SuperPAC-Campaign_Donors_June30.pdf

also, jeb bush has $114 in contributions so far. next closest are clinton (62.7 ) and ted cruz (50.9). and he's a complete doofus. amazing country!

also, jeb bush has $114 million in contributions so far

Jeb! is a Texan, sorta.

Well, and say this, both of the Floridans are leading.

I mean, if we're going to let GWB get away with calling himself a Texan, then we gotta let Jeb call himself Florida Man.

J. E. "Florida Man" Bushington Jeb! III.

desperately hoping JEB! takes this advice: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2015/08/25/5-good-reasons-for-jeb-bush-to-attack-donald-trump/

He could do it; there's no predicting that guy. Jeb! is truly outrageous.
