Sour grapes here?

The behavior of crowds, basically. People tend to go along with the flow that is the Mass in masses, because they outweigh you by about 50,000 to 1. It takes a lot of guts, spirit, and power of belief for 1 to match 50k.

It used to be that people didn’t have contact with the slim minority of fanatics and true believers. Until the internet came along.

So WaPost readers continue to be true believers? I’m not surprised. But the race is tipped one way or the other by the undecided voters, and very few WaPost readers are undecided. The hard core Ds will not be changing their vote even, as Neo has said before, if Hillary strangles puppies on live TV on the Capitol steps. And the hard core Rs are similarly committed. It is the 15-20% swing voters who will take one candidate or the other over 50%+1.

I doubt that the Cruz campaign cares what is in the WaPost half a much as they care what’s in the Des Moines Register.

And Reps should be calling it the Dem Media, and acting like they are the enemy, ones forced by money/ job into contact.

I have been using the spelling DeMedia on most comment boards.

“Rick Santelli was the only titularly conservative person on the panel — and his questions were just fine.”

By accepting questions as asked, candidates concede the premises upon which those questions are based. In this way, the media is able to make statements in the guise of questions, and thus offer a biased political narrative in the guise of an interview. Such rhetorical subterfuge is unacceptable and needs to be called out and countered, as Cruz did Wednesday night.

Furthermore, ” [Cruz] was so strong and powerful, and the crowd reacted so positively, that it gave the others the courage . . . .” [Neoneocon @12:48 am].

Hudson is totally correct.
Thanks for the link.

Pity the candidates did not walk off the stage as a sign of contempt.

If Carson & the others get a plan going but aren’t able to run the debates themselves, they may agree to do that.
I would love it.

At the very least, any moderator talking over the candidate should be pulled off the floor by one of those old-time vaudeville hooks.

Only 1000 tickets were available.
“Though CU is hosting the event, the school will only squeak in a few dozen of its own.

“We’ll have a small representation of students and administrators and faculty,” campus spokesman Bronson Hilliard….

Even Bruce Benson, the university’s president, wasn’t able to score more than a ticket for himself and a plus-one….

Local Republicans won’t get preference, either. The GOP headquarters in both Broomfield and Boulder counties have been guaranteed zero seats.

“I think they’re already sold out to RNC donors, and local people won’t get any,” said Ellyn Hilliard, chair of the Boulder County Republicans. “I don’t even get any. It’s an extremely limited, culled crowd. They culled it down to the people they wanted.”
…
Aside from the small CU contingency at Coors, the crowd will have a heavy presence of representatives from the RNC and from CNBC, which is televising the debate. Plus, each candidate – there are 15 at the moment, but that number may shrink by Oct. 28 – is expected to bring an entourage of 20-40 people, Spicer said.

Of course, the crowd will be nearly matched in size by the roughly 1,000-piece expected media gaggle.”

How many businesses did the government bail him out on?

This word switch routine is closer to deception than business.
