Trump, seems like someone carving a marble statue with a machine gun. But he IS doing it, and it doesn't look too bad.

incredibly accurate analogy. especially with one of those old dad-isms inflections on the end "doesn't look too bad" about the mailbox leaning at a 10 degree angle in the hopes mom agrees

Herp derp obama depoted moar then bush

I'm catching up on the Beto/Cruz debate since I couldn't watch it live and i'm not sure I care enough to finish it
but I'm only 14 minutes in and I have to wonder how the crap anyone thinks Beto could actually win this.
Cruz gets up on stage and smashes Beto's head in with deft footwork and preplanned points of attack, really brutal slaps like you'd expect from him going low
but then Beto gets up on stage and starts preaching like he's a social justice crusader.

its texas

how is he supposed to even try to win in texas when he's pulling a hard left and soapboxing about 'unarmed african american men' while Cruz switches between claiming the middle ground (stressing legal immigration) and eviscerating him (juxtaposing 'he called the police the new jim crow' with 'heres the widow of a police officer shot in the head'). Now I gather sure, Dallas/Houston/Austin are at least skewed to have more pussy hat types who would be receptive to this, but can you really win an election in texas of all places by abandoning the center and appealing to urban turnout of the far-left?

He's owning it that's why he's succeeded

Cruz is a slime ball and would go with the same low attacks even if Beto was Cruz lite

and Cruz is very easy to hate

very unlikeable beo is right

Hatred for others is usually based on projection of one's own traits

Nobody likes Cruz. Democrats don't like Cruz, Republicans don't like Cruz, Texas don't like Cruz, Cruz's own supporters don't like Cruz, Cruz probably hates himself.
But he goes out there and dismantles people and has run pretty safe elections thus far, his unpopularity has kept him stymied on a national stage.

Yet whatever vulnerability Cruz has in being a satanic baby-eating reptilian, it seems like democrats are determined to throw away their chances to unseat him. I'm only halfway through the debate and its clearly a shitshow, but Beto seems to be echoing his campaign message of pulling left and it just mystifies me why instead of going blue dog in the heart of red country, he's preaching like a california liberal activist. Why?
