I wasn't a huge Romney fan, but lets face it, he LOOKED Presidential. He could win an acting role for President.

Trump LOOKS like an American President.

That helps.

Cruz looks like he's going to try and pull one over you. I'm not saying looks are everything, but in an election, it changes a few percentage points, let's be honest.

Nothing wrong with saying that. Look at every presidential election since 1960; I'd argue each person who went on to become president exuded more power and/or charisma than his competition.

Jimmy Carter won because well, Gerald Ford was Gerald Ford; Bush Sr. crushed the limp-wristed Dukakis but was then bested by smooth-talking Slick Willy; and yeah, you can argue correctly that Ford lost due to the Nixon years & Bush was irreparably damaged by the Ross Perot 3rd party candidacy, or maybe this is a bit of a "post hoc ergo propter hoc" fallacy on my part, but it seems to me there's a strong correlation between candidate strength & victory in a presidential election.

I'd argue Romney was the closest but the Obama charisma train was still running at full steam, bit of an incumbent's advantage there.

You know what this calls for??!

Just watched Rubio in some interview. Only seen him on stage before. Rubio is a short puffy face latino with a gay lisp, it is not easy to imagine him trying to act as the POTUS. It would almost be too obvious he was a stooge.

I propose a new holiday: "Shit on a Cruzbot's face day"

Here's a nice Melania:



Imagine how triggered SJWs will be when she's the first lady.

Apparently Huntsman was speaking very highly of Trump a few days ago. Endorsement pending?

Quote:Huntsman praised Trump’s “build here first” philosophy in terms of infrastructure, remarking that the U.S. should practice what it preaches abroad. He also embraced Trump’s rhetoric on campaign finance reform and the influence of money in politics, saying that the Manhattan real-estate mogul is “right about bringing aboard a new generation of the best and the brightest and wiping out the old Washington establishment and the old Washington culture.”

"He’s going to look at the barriers that stand in the way of actually getting it done, like the Electoral College system, like the difficulty in getting ballot access to all 50 states, which is an enormous hurdle for an independent to get over, and probably the exclusive nature of the presidential debates themselves, which pretty much cater to the duopoly, red and blue, Republican and Democrat,” Huntsman said. “That’s a real hurdle for independents if they’re left out of the presidential debates.”

Where do you think he'd put his cigar. . . ?

Marco won.

Tump's victory is nothing but Zionist propaganda!

Twitter right now:

I love how Milo Yiannopoulos calls Trump "Daddy" lmao

I saw a good point in the NYT's coverage of the caucus tonight.

A lot of other rich businessmen will be looking at Trump's campaign and saying to themselves "why can't I do that too?"

Expect a lot more maverick businessmen running for party nominations in the future?

If Hunstman endorses Trump it will be yuge help in Utah, the only state where Marcosoft RubioBot leads in the polls

I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump use Huntsman when dealing with Chyenuh


Also of note, im willing to bet like Hollywood there's a huge chunk of silent Trump businessmen supporters, Phil Ruffin and Steve Wynn was at his winning speech tonight and Wynn has been giving Trump campaign advice

Agreed, theres no one left on either side that comes off as presidential, besides Trump. Cruz comes off as a used car salesman, Marcosoft comes off as an office worker who spends his off hours roaming truck stops looking to give out blowjobs.

The rat has fallen below 20%.

Rodents everywhere on suicide watch.

Trump will make America great again just by getting elected:

Huff Po has Trump crawling up to 46.9% wiht only 19% of precincts reporting

^^^^

Trudeau won't be letting any of these Americans in, too busy with the Syrian refugees.

Fuck, America gets Canada's ambitious and brightest talents and in return Canada always gets these hippies and leftist losers. No thanks send them to Mexico

Send 'em to North Korea, where they can live out their days in their joyous and equitable socialist wonderland once and for all!

Post all the twitter rage you can find.

It gives the Donald more energy.

Trump back down to 46% and Cruz back up to 20%.

Get it together, Nevada.

"I'm moving to Canada if Trump becomes president."
"What about Mexico?"
"I don't want to live in Mexico, it sucks!"
"Me either, that's why I'm voting for Trump!"

Where's Lubio's concession speech?

Is he this much of a coward or did he decide to just end it all?

17-29 year olds voted for Rubio over Trump 39% to Rubio!

I usually don't join in the millenial hate but what the fuck, voting for Rubio?

30-44 year olds, the tail end of millenials and Gen X vote Trump.

Is this simply a case of still being freshly indoctrinated in college?
