Trump started the debate by defending the size of his penis. Satire is dead. American politics killed it.

Trump gets out trumped finally

[–]Cupinacup 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

I've never seen a moderator bring that kind of snackdown.

[–]IT_WAS_ME_JAMESSTEMlord 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Megyn Kelly just getting started, please let her bring the heat.

Watch this drive his poll numbers up. I've given up on trying to make sense of any of this.

I totally didn't see this and edit my comment to fix my yuuuge mistake.

Trump repeating "Klu Klux Klan" twice and not Ku Klux Klan is the Trumpian version of telling a lie with his fingers crossed

'But you see, I was talking about their not-well-known second cousin Klu.'

It's funny how it's remotely possible that none of these three guys get the nomination.

[–]irondeepbicycleI got 99 problems but technological unemployment ain't one 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Imagine this insane campaign season ending with Romney as the nominee.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S,M] 8ポイント9ポイント  (8子コメント)

Trump sucks, man.

Edit: Megyn Kelly is acting like a mother breaking up squabbling children.

Also apparently she is 45. She doesn't look it at all.

Edit: My Trump tie is amazing, ngl. I get so many compliments on it. I hope they are made in Mexico, it keeps em cheap.

Modifying your comment to add weight to your anti-Trump comments.

Who's paying you for this?

Good summary of Romney's speech today.

He's having a really good night. I wish he'd thought of this less mailman more experience strategy earlier.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 12ポイント13ポイント  (11子コメント)

Kasich says states should sit down with businesses to figure out state minimum wage.

Thank you based Kasich. At least a signal that he's not awful on labor econ.

/u/besttrousers

[–]lorenzorye 9ポイント10ポイント  (8子コメント)

Shouldn't it also include labor reps though? Otherwise it's kind of one sided.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] -1ポイント0ポイント  (7子コメント)

Unions would want a high minimum wage though (and make exceptions for their services).

But yeah, I meant its a decent signal. Kasich isn't perfect.

[–]lorenzorye 11ポイント12ポイント  (6子コメント)

And business would want a lower one.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Yes they would.

My point is I don't really trust 'labor reps'. I am not convinced unions have the interest or workers at heart.

Labor economists should be consulted yeah, but generally that isn't meant when people say labor reps.

[–]lorenzorye 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Unions are made of workers, though.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes, and unions represent member workers, not non-members.

[–]lorenzorye 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

In most states they are legally obligated to negotiate on behalf of all workers.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

All workers in the union.

When workers in the union are substitutes for low skill non union workers, an exogenous increase in the minimum wage would shift employers from hiring those minimum wage workers to hiring unions workers.

Fuck it, Rock, paper, scissors to decide.

[–]besttrousers"Then again, I have pegged you for a Neoclassical/Austrian." 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

What does "sit down and figure out" mean? Germany-ish worker council? Or just, y'know, chatting?

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Probably working out a law? Or probably getting organic coffee at the local co-op.

[–]lib-boyancrap 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

What just happened? Trump just said he wants more immigration of highly-skilled workers, in Detroit?

[–]Jesusloveseggnog 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Damn they're going so hard on trump.

Hey and Kasichs is still looking good.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am enjoying this character assassination.

Hahaha, yeah it's like "this is a total hit job, but eh, I'll allow it."

Rubio doesn't understand Becker. criminals make decisions on the margin.

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah :/ but he's the candidate you like on the R side, isn't he?

[–]carefreecartographer 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

So... Trump wants to start a trade war with the second largest single-nation economy on Earth.

[–]deathpigeonxSanderista National Liberation Front 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. This shouldn't be news, though. He's been talking about it for awhile.

[–]HandjobSally 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

This audience is horrible. Shouting over the moderators.

[–]thabonch 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Shouting over the moderators

No, I'm pretty sure that was Trump.

[–]kmathew92 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Did Trump just give a reasonable answer on high skill immigration?!

[–]HandjobSally 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sounded like he was becoming more moderate up until he endorsed torture.

[–]lib-boyancrap 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

...and killing families. Yeesh.

[–]kmathew92 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

It seemed like he was pivoting to general election before he reverted to same old Donald

This detroit crowd is straight up trash. Seriously, shut up when people are talking.

Any time I catch a GOP debate Kasich is the only one that ever resembles an adult

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah definitely. Cruz is acting very reasonably well too.

Honestly they need to not give The Donald so much air time.

[–]magataga 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

did cruz just say remove harmful taxes and raise tariffs?

[–]jsmooth7 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup 16% across the board on all imports. :-/

Kasich bringing up vouchers!!!! What do people think about that Louisiana paper though? Are vouchers still good econ?

[–]jorioWhen does baseball season start? 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Louisiana paper? Can you link to this?

[–]wumbotarianArbitrageur in the rare pepe market[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Louisiana paper having a one year time period is dumb.

Didn't Heckman show that pre-K had effects far, far out in years? Didn't he show that cognitive gains disappeared after a few years?

So why don't we have a longer time frame? Maybe there's a J curve effect.

I welcome empirical evidence on vouchers - we need it - but one year is really limited.

[–]Lyreface 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't like Trump but did he really get called out for not creating textile manufacturing jobs in the United States? I can appreciate calling him inconsistent, useless as it is, but seriously? Textiles are the hill we're dying on now?

[–]thabonch 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not about the textiles. It's about the inconsistency. The textiles are an example of that.

[–]centurion44Vox Bourgeosie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is there anything funnier or more stereotypical than a Trump supporter bringing up the fact romney was endorsed by Trump and praised Donald when Donald has given 100's of thousands to Dems in various offices?
