He’ll run on his own Freedom Party ticket and we’ll get a 3-party election. Oh no, now the rightwing votes are split. Bummer!

Republicans are too spineless. Realistically trump will threaten to run third party, and they will forgo the primaries and hand him the nomination.

Does that make most of Congress Jarjar?

Are we talking the jarjar that's actually incompetent, Or the Jarjar theory that he was actually a very powerful sith that was able to act like a goofball to be put into positions of power?

Which also honestly makes the analogy better now that I think of it. Just as the grain of truth behind the carrot rumor helped sell it. Hard work and determination can in fact help you make more money. But of course just as an improvement in diet isn't likely a huge factor in detecting planes flying at night and perfectly pinpoint artillary at them. It's obviously not the difference between the people working 2 jobs to pull in sub 50k/yr anually and the people purchasing Yachts big enough to hold smaller Yachts.

Reminds me a bit of how carrots became known for helping eyesight. (in short the military claimed carrots helped eyesight so they were feeding them to their anti-aircraft gunners, to hide their mastery of radar).

Is there an actual group pushing for that? (I'm pretty sure I remember a decade or so back there being an arm the homeless group, that put out santa's etc... though didn't actually accept donations. (Their actual goal was common sense gun laws, and they knew the people who are pro-gun would argue strongly against it shooting their own pro-gun arguements in the foot).

I don't know for me it seemed like the first and the later seasons were comparable. The shock value of the major "I can't believe they did that", was what kept most the more critical analysis of most of the rest at bay. After the red wedding, you are desensitized to just about anything, and there's no real room for shock.

I'd imagine the cause of death would be a huge factor. Pain receptors quite often don't detect major things. Hence a scratch can go undetected, but a deep very quick cut might destroy every pain receptor near it and you won't even notice an enormous wound.
