07:24:02 Reading – Hispanics Frown on Trump, but Not Rest of GOP Field (Lydia Saad) http://t.co/ROXf8frfJw
15:41:23 Retweeted @ezraklein 15:40:04 Biden should run. Warren should run. Bloomberg should run. Ryan should run. Alito should run. Everyone should run.
16:42:27 Retweeted @BYUfan 16:38:43 .@abulsme @imbou It looks like Trump has risen above the ceiling y'all set for him. I'm shocked add much as you. http://t.co/iDHDl2Q3I0
16:44:29 .@BYUfan @imbou And it looks like he is gearing up his state ground operations. Wouldn’t it be fun if we end up with Sanders vs Trump? :-) in reply to BYUfan
16:45:33 Retweeted @imbou 16:44:18 @BYUfan @abulsmeI don't agree this is still a bunch of noise at this point.We have 6 months of this thing to go.Perot looked like this too.. in reply to BYUfan
16:48:36 .@imbou @BYUfan He is down from his high, but he isn’t going to collapse. Rest of field has to start consolidating. If they don’t, go Trump! in reply to imbou
16:48:54 Retweeted @imbou 16:45:02 @abulsme @BYUfan Wishful thinking… in reply to abulsme
16:49:51 .@imbou @BYUfan Yeah, yeah, I know that is highly unlikelyвЂ¦ But still! in reply to imbou
16:50:34 Retweeted @BYUfan 16:48:13 .@abulsme @imbou Fun? Yes. But very sad for this country. A reactionary on the left vs a reactionary on the right. in reply to abulsme
16:53:22 .@BYUfan @imbou Not sure if reactionary is right word for Bernie. But think Sanders would be ineffectual as Pres, Trump would be dangerous. in reply to BYUfan
16:53:31 Retweeted @BYUfan 16:51:41 .@imbou @abulsme It's a different situation this time. Perot was going against a sitting president. in reply to imbou
16:54:26 .@BYUfan @imbou And Perot did that drop out and get back in thing because the R’s were going after his daughter or some crazy thing. in reply to BYUfan
16:55:32 .@BYUfan @imbou If it wasn’t for that, I think Perot would have at least gotten a few electoral votes. As it was he got a huge % for a 3P. in reply to BYUfan
16:57:45 .@BYUfan @imbou If Trump ends up running 3P, or he gets nom and other R runs 3P, dynamics of race completely different. in reply to BYUfan
16:58:51 .@BYUfan @imbou 3 way run favors D’sвЂ¦ UNLESS all three are strong enough to get electoral votes. Then could throw to house, where R’s win. in reply to BYUfan
16:59:04 Retweeted @BYUfan 16:55:59 .@abulsme @imbou True. Populist vs. Reactionary. Trump would wield presidential powers to the max. Scary. in reply to abulsme
17:01:20 Retweeted @BYUfan 17:00:58 @abulsme @imbou How about a 4 way race? Trump and Sanders as nominees with Clinton and Bush as independents! in reply to abulsme
17:02:07 .@BYUfan @imbou You are going to make my head explode! I just barely figured out how I will have to modify my site for a three way race! :-) in reply to BYUfan
17:13:40 Retweeted @ScottNY71 17:13:06 @abulsme @BYUfan @imbou I told you a few weeks back to build it out for unlimited candidates. Don't be short sighted, Sam! in reply to abulsme
17:15:34 .@ScottNY71 @BYUfan @imbou Actually, the technique I have in mind will theoretically work for more cands. Just have to build w/that in mind. in reply to ScottNY71
17:30:31 Retweeted @imbou 17:17:43 @BYUfan @abulsme Regardless he was a front runner at the beginning with all the hype, all these crazies tend to lose people as time goes. in reply to BYUfan
17:32:26 .@imbou @BYUfan That does seem to be the historical pattern. Flirt with the crazies, but in end vote for the normals, or just don’t vote. in reply to imbou
17:33:08 .@imbou @BYUfan But past performance is not a guarantee of future results. in reply to imbou
18:54:11 Retweeted @ScottNY71 18:45:00 @abulsme @imbou @BYUfan Realistically, are there any "normals" in politics, especially on the far left and far right? in reply to abulsme
18:55:26 .@ScottNY71 @imbou @BYUfan Well, normal amongst pols. Who almost by definition all have massive egos and are borderline sociopaths. :-) in reply to ScottNY71
