    No Rand Paul on Thursday's debate is making me really doubt whether I should bother.

    I don't actually know. That would make sense though given Lehman Brothers is in there as pointed out by RD.

    That's tosh. She actually said the people immediately around her were perfectly nice to her until the wider audience started getting involved.

    Trump's not even a factor. Rubio should piss it from here unless they have all lost their minds, although this being America they probably have.

    God I hope Hillary finds some way to lose, whether to 'Bernie' or later on. What an awful cow.

    Of course he is a factor. He is leading in the polls and the bookies have him favourites.

    He hasn't got a chance in the GE, but he has a realistic chance of the GOP nomination.

    What polls is he leading in? Are they measuring anything to do with the actual elections at hand? He'll get munched in the actual contests.

    I am with Jimmy on this one, on almost everything. I rather have 'Hillary' win rather than fucking Marco 'Marco Rubio' Rubio. If Bernie dons her though.

    Just checked the odds. Rubio hovering at 2/1 for the nomination with many. Choo choo. Or just sell the fuck out of Trump.

    Trump will most likely win. Unfortunately, if he doesn't, we're gonna end up with Ted Cruz. Rubio is fine but he's not nearly popular enough to win.

    I've seen more of these than you, he has no chance. His polling numbers are just noise.

    Ted Cruz might win.

    Because he hasn't got a proper election machine setup, he's just a bloke who wanders around talking shit and attracts legions of zealous followers, but those aren't votes in an election and the way his polling numbers go across different types of poll (even if high) reflects that. Cruz will win Iowa, probably easily, and Rubio will win Noo Hampshire.

    But nobody like Trump has run before, so the fact that you have seen all of this before, is largely irrelevant.

    Don't forget, this is the American general public we are talking about.

    If you say so. I reckon loads of people like him (no hoper idiots) have run before, they just haven't had as much money or shouted quite so loudly about themselves.

    You're a complete idiot who has no idea what he's talking about, Trump's ground game is as good as anyones. You are just mindlessly repeating the talking points of an increasingly desperate mainstream media / establishment.

    Trump is the clear favorite, all polling numbers indicate this, and he beats Hillary head to head in the general. The People have woken up, and they are fed up with the lies of the self-interested elites. Get used to the idea of President Trump.

    How does a so called right wing free market lover like you reconciles with the idea of imposing tariffs on foreign goods?

    "Right wingers" only want to apply the free market to the poor. For their buddies at the top it's subsidies and government contracts all the way.

    The left don't claim to want a free market in the first place.

    And obviously there are honest right -wingers, which is why I used the quotation marks. They're just not generally the ones in power.

    Mert's looking increasingly like Sebo in the 'IndyRef' where Trump is concerned. He'll either be monumentally correct or laughed off the board.

    With the current oil prices, Scotland would be bankrupt by independence day. He should consider himself lucky.

    The Scottish economy is growing despite the drop in oil prices. GDP is still comparable to the rest of the UK as a whole and it's still the third most productive region after London and the South East.

    Scottish budgets post-independence were predicated on the basis of high production and prices of $120 a barrel. There would have been a massive gap owing to the price decrease and the massive reduction in oil production in the North Sea as producers can't compete at current global prices. The lifting of Iranian sanctions lets them flood the market as well now, which should drive prices down further - which is good for all of us who want cheaper petrol.

    Diving into the "alt-right"/neoreactionary movement is an amazing way to kill a couple of hours. Especially the really central elements, like the Moldbug stuff.

    http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Neoreactionary_movement

    It's all utterly fantastical. The "Dark Enlightenment".

    I see Palin has given up her YouTube career and is backing the Trump. She mostly wanked on about supporting the troops and 'kicking ISIS's ass!'. We hear that a lot from all the Republican candidates, although what specifically they'd do differently from what Obama has done is not clear.

    So we're saying that Moldbug is a combination of Mert's verbose writing and Harold's inability to comprehend am opposing point of view?

    From what I can tell, there's a big push for the idea that there should be an aristocracy, and it should be them by virtue of their enlightenment.

    I know this sounds hard to believe, but I actually think both Mert and Harry would be too sensible to fit in as part of the movement.
