I think with Paul too there's the whole young people/the internet/non-traditional conservatives love him and I think that's a sign that there must be something up with the guy and he won't "defend true conservatism" or whatever the fuck these people want the party daddy to do XP

OMG! It is a reality show! RT @DylanByers TRUMP: "I will be probably endorsing somebody right after the debates."
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 2 December 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
Responding to that, someone at HotAir:
He said “debates” — plural — not “debate,” so he’s not necessarily saying that the Newsmax event alone will decide his endorsement. But check the calendar. The Newsmax debate is the very last one before Iowa; by endorsing soon afterward, it’ll look as if the candidates’ performance at that event was determinative to him.

Roffle:
Trump's idea 2 moderate a debate is absurd. I hope all GOP candidates turn him down. It's a campaign; not a TV show.
Ari Fleischer wondering why it can't be like the pure and untelevised campaigns of 2000, I guess.

the GOP doesn't want someone who looks like the riddler. they want a daddy. a man. a man's man.
a man's man's man.
CNN just had a Republican focus group holding court on Gingrich and Romney. Major surprise: they don't trust either one of them. This is good news for...Gary Johnson?

My hope is they all turn down Trump and he uses that hour or however long to say, 'they dont care about telling the american public their principles; so i guess i am the only man here worth voting for' and throws his wighat back in the race as the last non-mittens.

really interesting results in this GOP focus group, concerning the republican slate of presidential candidates.

George Will hates Gingrich, and thinks Romney would be Thomas Dewey to Obama's Truman. So he gets behind Rick Perry (admitting his wife is on the payroll) and--this is really odd--Huntsman.

Some people respond.
― Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 3 December 2011 14:01 (twelve years ago) link
The thing I find so odd about Will's endorsement of Huntsman has less to do with how conservative Huntsman may or may not be than seeing someone of Will's--I'll say visibility rather than stature so Alfred's head doesn't explode--so publically backing a lost cause.
― clemenza, Saturday, 3 December 2011 14:37 (twelve years ago) link
Probably a smart move (and probably a non-story), but I don't know--if Romney flinches at Gingrich, what would a primary voter think about how ready he is for Obama?
