Discussion: Eric Cantor: Trump Won't Survive The Primaries

[meri]

More importantly, what do the other Young Guns think?

[Lacuna-Synecdoche]

The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

It seems telling that it’s the short-fingered Trump objects to, and not vulgarian. Some length issues there perhaps?

How is there not a meme .gif of Kevin Kline screaming “YOU’RE THE VULGARIAN, YOU FUCK!”?

[clauscph]

Somebody should ask Paul Ryan…

I agree. His complete lack of self-awareness is quite breathtaking. Then again, I guess that’s just another trait of narcissistic personality disorder.

Given the state of affairs of the modern GOP, it may have been that Trump, himself, is responsible for Eric’s announcement.

Cantor is not saying anything different than other political pundits are saying this year about how much damage Trump and Cruz will do to the party, which is not necessarily a bad thing, two unconventional candidates wreaking havoc on the R establishment first, then secondly destroying the party.

@tiowally
I’ve read this particular comment of Graydon’s several time and always been tickeled. Poor Trumpet.

“There’s a real difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party," Cantor told the BBC in October

I find it terribly interesting that when talking to media outside the US, Cantor drops the charade of ‘the Democrat Party’. Kinda lays bare the whole blatant little game of denigration diminutive, doesn’t it?

[tiowally]

I know you meant “tickled” and not “ticked.” I couldn’t possibly imagine you defending tRump.

[littlegirlblue]

The English language, she is a funny thing.

[candirue]

I love Trump’s trolling of Cantor.

[todwest]

Cantor is right. Kasich is polling in second place in NH with about three weeks left to go. He could win the state outright if his momentum can be maintained. If Kasich wins NH, or even finishes second, we’re talking about a whole new race.

[dswx]

The bigger question is why anyone would want Cantor’s opinion in the first place.

[ajaykalra]

Trump: This can only mean that I will be the next POTUS. Thanks Eric.

[dnl]

Jeb! get’s EarAcheCantor’s AND GrahamCracker’s endorsements…

Nothing says lovin’ like endorsements from a coupla’ losers.

[ncsteve]

Welp, Trump just clinched the nomination.

[teenlaqueefa]

Failing upwards…

There you go, todwest! Playing the race card…

I love how all the Big Guns in the party are coming out to make predictions one way or another. Dole, Phyllis Schlafly, Palin and now Canter. Where is Joe the Plumber?

This is going to come down to a war among the billionaires and their Super Pacs. I’m not predicting any of them being competent enough to pull off a win.

[saylen]

I’m gonna give this to Trump:

The man can deliver zingers like nobody else.
