Trump after-interview: It was fine. He's fine!

He did seem pretty surly there at the end. Not sure if that'll affect his numbers at all.

I truly believe Rubio is our candidate for "most likely to snap completely" during the primary.

I was really hoping he'd crash and burn during this debate. Oh well.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

What do you mean 'most likely to snap completely'? Like go crazy or have some sort of mega meltdown?

Essentially, yes. It used to be Christie, but he's out.

Rubio takes himself and things in general seriously enough that the mere presence of the other candidates clearly gets on his nerves. Because of this, if we keep going down the rabbit hole to Trumpmania I think there's a real chance Rubio's campaign ends with a slathering "what the fuck is wrong with you people" public meltdown and subsequent lifetime mountain retreat.

Why the hell do they have that question in there? That seems so random and has absolutely no place in that poll.

Is that a....oh god, they actually did ask that. My day is made.

So many fun things to do with this data.

"Hispanics Twice As Likely to Think Cruz is Serial Killer"
"Democrats, Republicans Agree On Cruz Zodiac Killer Opinion"

I so wish they had crosstabs to indicate how what percentage of Cruz supporters said Cruz was the Zodiac Killer.

Incidentally, 28% of Carson supporters had an unfavorable opinion of Ben Carson. That's just....what. He actually scored WORST in favorability with his own supporters than with any other candidates' supporters or with undecideds. WAT.

It's been a slowly growing Internet Thing, and polls need to stay relevant to today's youth. Also, it's pretty funny!

And the candidates do not appear to understand Apple's argument for why it would be a bad idea to create a backdoor.

Their argument though is that Apple is misunderstanding them and that it isn't actually a backdoor.

Kasich is like 'lock both sides in a room and don't let them out until you come to an agreement'.

Thing is, it is. Apple doesn't have "magical powers" over any particular phone; everything is done using specific protocols. For instance, no update can be forced onto a phone without the user's consent. This means that whatever Apple were to come up with to either break into the phone directly or force a system change that allows breaking into the phone will be doable by anyone else who wishes to. The FBI is asking for them to leave this glaring security hole open (their mountain of other requests, as well as ones in the future); if Apple simply closes it after this one fix, then they'll have to find another the next time the FBI comes knocking.


@RedKing
I imagine Ben Carson "supporters" are just cynical and are filling him in to protest how terrible the actual options are.  Or perhaps he just really puts the "lesser" in "lesser of two evils".

Exactly! How could you look at that face and NOT assume it's a rubber mask he puts on every morning to conceal his 91-year-old visage?

Ben Carson's campaign seems to be basically a weird scam orchestrated by his fundraising team. I guess his supporters could be unhappy with that.
