Trump just wants to form a super PAC I'd bet.

The blustering, self-aggrandizing tome he spittled forth today was just an unpolished, stream of conscience retelling of standard issue GOP sound bites.

Talking about spittle, what was the white shit in the corner of his mouth? Did he blow a staffer before he took to the podium?

Oh, it was spit. It was flying out of his mouth for quite a while, then some landed in the corner of this mouth and just stayed there.

I'm watching him, all I can think is "wipe your mouth... Wipe your mouth... Wipe that shit.. You're a master wall builder worth eleventy billion dollars, why can't you wipe your mouth?! Wiiiiiiiiipe goddammit!"

The sidebar on that site says Christie will announce as early as next week. Who the fuck is advising these retards? None of them have any chance. This is going to be the most entertaining primary in history.

The USS Christie has been campaigning for a while now. He's clocked 69 events so far in Iowa, NH and SC. And that's as a sitting governor. Thats only a little more than half of what some of the candidates have done but supposedly he has a full time job.

Seriously, what a delusional buffoon he is if he thinks he stands any chance at all of winning. He has no record to run on (afaik Louisiana still ranks 49th/50th in most measurements of success) and he's not going to win anyone over with his charisma (or complete lack thereof). Rationally, he's a bad choice. Emotionally, he's a bad choice.

I have a feeling that Bobby is more about setting himself up for a serious run later. He is only 44.

15-16 candidates. 15 candidates splitting the electorate could mean someone winning with 25%-20% of the vote and a different winner in each early primary. Jeb! stuck under 20% in most polling. Everyone else between 1%-15%. If you can get in the debates and throw red meat to the base, you can be the flavor of the month and get a Fox television show and a book deal afterwards.
Donald Trump is at 11% and in second in New Hampshire after announcing. Any one of these clowns could end up on top of the Ferris wheel when the music stops and be the anti-Jeb. Why not jump in?

He's got more of a record than Obama had when he ran. :hmm:

Every one of these clowns has the exact same platform. Every. Single. One.

Jindal does have more of a record, and that's a big part of why he stands no chance of winning.

Obama had virtually no record, so he ran a campaign based on vague ideas. On the other hand, we can look at Louisiana and guess what will happen if you put Jindal in charge, and it's not good.

It's true on both sides, I think... When I consider one candidate versus another within the same party, I'm thinking less about voting histories and fake campaign promises, than I am thinking about personal qualities like effective leadership, experience running an organization, and how much I'd trust them answering that "2 am phone call"

So Christie and Ohio's Kasich have yet to make it official. Who else is playing coy?

If they can get a bearded lady and a human cannonball, I think they'll be ready to tour. Of course the media will have their own freak show trailing along behind them. Iowa and New Hampshire are going to be raking it in.

I'd say the only two serious Democrat candidates have vastly different policies, although Hillary seems to be incorporating some of Sanders' as they prove to be very popular, just not always to the extreme that he takes them.
