Nikki Haley's kinda likable, outside of everything she believes and says. Whereas the Marcobot 2.1 always seems worried that no one's going to see him among the big kids, so he has to talk fast, loud and aggressively. Not appealing.
The results from the poll — conducted after Trump's victory in New Hampshire and Saturday's GOP debate in South Carolina — are a significant reversal from last month, when Trump held a 13-point lead over Cruz, 33 percent to 20 percent.
Trump was asked about that poll on MSNBC and he said that he never does well in that particular poll, and that someone at the WSJ doesn't like him. Which, of course, explains why he was up in that poll just last month…
Someone at WSJ doesn't like him? Pretty safe bet that nobody at Rupert's banking pamphlet likes a putative GOPer who wants to raise the tax rate on hedge fund managers.
OK, Mika is not even trying to hide her contempt for The Donald: the side-eye she just gave him when he said "we're going to cut spending" after Joe asked him to respond to the economists who said his policies would add to the debt. Hee hee hee…
Ted Cruz said: “Barack Obama, in the first weeks of his administration, sent the bust of Winston Churchill back to the United Kingdom. If I’m elected president, Winston Churchill is coming back.”
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? THIS IS LIKE LISTENING TO A RADIO SHOW YELL A BUMPER STICKER AT A PRINTOUT OF AN EMAIL FORWARD. COULD THIS BE ANY MORE TRIFLING AND STUPID?

This certainly will please the establishment Repugs.

The Donor Class™ can breath easy; Rubio's ready to make his move! Time to get him that Short Man Syndrome therapy he's been needing.
So are you thinking Nikki's endorsement will raise his standing?

I'm sure this will calm down the tensions between Trump and Cruz.
Average is still 35-20 Trump but this is typically a good poll so look out, Trump!
As I type this, The Donald is on MSNBC with Joe and Mika. Mika's eyeroll when The Donald said he was endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio was priceless!
It takes a brave woman to watch Morning Joe and Mika when fully awake.
Just got back from yoga, so I still have some calmness left.
I was wondering if anyone was
crazy drunkbrave enough to watch any of those.As I told Lot_49, my post-yoga state of mind is the only reason I can handle it.
Chocolate helps, also too.

There's a Republican town hall thingy on CNN tonight and tomorrow night.

Oh god, I don't think I can handle anymore for a while.
I thought we had a break from these things D:
Time to see how long my post-yoga bliss lasts!
ETA: OK, without a liveblog the CNN thing is too tedious. Back to Rachel!
OT, sorta…
Will the Wonket be producing Fear and Loathingesque tome on this year's election?

Wouldn't that be awesome!
A plethora of dick jokes to be sure.
They totally should, that would be awesome. It could be a modern version of|this,| which my parents loved and read over and over.
Aaaand The Donald is going off the rails over this "do you have the temperament to be President?" question. This is fun!

A view from the UK on Cruz from The Guardian:
Ted Cruz said: “Barack Obama, in the first weeks of his administration, sent the bust of Winston Churchill back to the United Kingdom. If I’m elected president, Winston Churchill is coming back.”
