    Better than "You need water? I would get a bunch of Mexicans to bring you some, but unfortunately, they've been deported."

    Better than "You need water? If I'm elected President I won't let Muslims poison your water again and I would bomb their water if they had any."

    Lindsey Graham is a nuttily hawkish wingnut.

    But at least he's funny.

    Josh Marshall has had a handful of articles about the haiku of Trump tweets. They're almost always two simple sentences, with a one or two word closing.

    Hey, can't blame him. This was before he transformed into Marco "Dice" Rubio.

    Rick Perry, oddly enough, is a name floated around. The idea being that he can deny Trump Texas a and create a solid base of electoral votes (for a third party) to work out of.

    And he'll win half the white female vote. In the words of Loki -

    I dunno. I wouldn't be too sure about that. I'm not a political scientist, but my gut tells me that come November, Trump will have been marginalized enough that he'll get crushed, and a big part of that will be that he'll be doing so poorly among women...black, white, brown.

    But not orange women. They don't turn against their own kind.

    Anything is feasible. The first female presidential candidate running against the most chauvinistic presidential candidate since, well, JFK I guess...yeah, it could happen.

    The gender gap runs an average of 7.8%. I would assume that Trump has the potential to double that gap. Hillary has the potential to double it as well. The combination of those two could be astronomically high, or it could overlap - people who would turn R-D for Hillary would turn R-D because of Trump, so no additional voters are added.

    Perhaps. Trump's gonna get hammered by college-educated white women. But the other 70%, I am not so sure. It looks as if we will find out.

    Orange men, however, are not so loyal -

    As a citizen, I really worry about this trend of identity trumping ideology. The Dems' share of the black vote has been high for a while, but now it seems like it's cemented well above 90%. Assuming a Trump candidacy, the Dems' share of the Hispanic vote is going to skyrocket over what is was in 2004, and probably remain that way for the foreseeable future. The Asian vote is becoming a Democratic strength too. We're talking about a 20% gender gap being possible. It just doesn't make for a healthy democracy. It's tribal shit like happens in Kenya.

    So what exactly was Tump's point? I'm assuming that's Cruz' wife on the left, so it's a comparison of who has the better looking woman? And while I was truly surprised to see that an ogre like Cruz could find any kind of a woman who would willingly be seen in public with him, that's a pretty bad pic of her.
