OT: Bullshitting at the Barbershop

Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor that if Donald wins then Chris Christie would be his white house butler?

I was thinking White House chef comeds.

/Mr. Christie, you make good cookies.

 

[Comeds]

Imagine if Obama had 5 kids with 3 different women.

CAN YOU PROVE HE DOESN'T??

It's possible - Clinton is leading in every major battleground state but the leads aren't unassailable.

I think it's safe to say that Kasich's squabble with the Donald will swing Ohio really far away from the Tangerine Caligula.

1) Kasich is claiming that Trump just wants to sit in the big office and let someone else run shit ("most powerful VP ever" offer). If true, Trump looks pathetic, if not, Trump will attack Kasich. Ohio voted overwhelmingly for Johnny K. Every single district went Kasich save 2 or 3 in Appalachia. And a lot of people don't like the Kasich bashing already.

2) A large part of the never Trump force on day one was the Ohio delegation.

3) Kasich has said he will vote for every republican in the race except president. He will "never" endorse Trump.

4) The head of the Ohio GOP said that they will focus their energy on getting Rob Portman re-elected to the Senate, and all down-ticket races. And that they will not be stumping or advertising for Trump.

5) There is an outside chance that Hillary will pick Sherrod Brown (Ohio's other Senator who is very well liked across the state) as her VP. Even if she doesn't pick him, he will be at the top of every building shouting for her and his own governor and partner in the Senate from Ohio have given him all the soundbites he needs.

And Ohio has a 25% chance of being the deciding state.

Not looking forward to the advertising I am going to have to endure.

It goes back further than that really. Everybody with half a brain (read: not most members of the Politics forum) knows that the parties flipped during the 20th century, especially in the south, most notably with the Southern Strategy under guys like Nixon and Goldwater.

The most socially conservative states - i.e., the south - were traditionally Democratic because Lincoln was a Republican, but as the Democratic party started pushing more for equal rights - especially the Civil Rights Act - the Republican party saw the opportunity to campaign on conservative values and it's been that way ever since.

And a big way they did it was pick up the mantle of the single issue voters. They realized that instead of appealing to 51% of the populace, you could make it close by gathering the 10% that only cares about hating teh Gheys, and the 7% that only cares about bombing abortion doctors, and the 13% that only cares about denying evolution, and so on and so on (numbers made up). You pretend to care about that person's single issue, you get their vote. Easy peasy Jap-a-neasy.

But what they didn't realize when they started the "southern strategy" is that eventually the single issue voters would get more extreme and you'd have to keep pandering to them. And eventually you would lose control of any real message.

And here we are.

Obviously your numbers are made up...it's actually 42%

Counter: Ohio voted for W twice.

Ted Cruz laid a big log in Cleveland last night.

I think what he did was genius, actually. In the event Trump loses, Ted Cruz can re-announce in two years and he can say "I never jumped on the bandwagon like 37 of the 38 other candidates (Kasich is obviously going to try again but he's not nearly nuts enough for the GOP)! I was always Never Trump and I am the perfect amount of crazy for you. Cruz-Baio 2020!".

Obama would've won the WH both times without Ohio. Bush wouldn't have either time without Ohio.

They would need to vote non-crazy at least 3 more times to make up for giving The Decider the White House twice.
