    That makes the slogan even worse from a campaign standpoint. It's like water telling people it's wet. He has 99 problems but his conservative bonafides ain't one.

    In a campaign where one of the original Tea Party insurgents in 2010 was slammed and pigeonholed just because he was squishy on immigration, maybe even water needs to tell people it's wet.

    I ... just ... can't... figure out why the heck Cruz and Wilson just spell out just how asinine the whole anti-Latino/anti-immigrant stance is politically. Sure it might sound good to white ppl in fly-over country, but it only motivates Latinos to organize and f*** over all ye who are stupid enough to fail to do basic napkin math.

    And besides... Wilson hasn't won a vote in over 20 years! Who does he represent?

    Just because they are politicians doesn't mean they can do math. Maybe they bet on being able to suppress Latino votes enough to be able to win. People tend to believe that other people tend to agree with them in large numbers.

    Sorry, the other news buried in that lede is that the Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage is an Obama talking point, somehow.

    Kasich is that one fly who's still alive and spasming on the ground, refusing to die as he continues to suffer a useless, painful existence.

    Well, time to close this thread.

    And congratulations, I guess, go to the 13 BS denizens who correctly picked Drumpf in the poll.
