Counting on the republicans to screw themselves is how trump got in office in the first place. They will absolutely rally around whoever wins the primary. They do not care about choosing the best candidate, or any other silly concepts like competence. Only about doing whatever it takes to hurt you.

Well, yeah. But you said you think that Mark Twain would likely look down on you for being black. I'm suggesting that may not be true. That the man behind Mark Twain wasn't a racist, by measure of his time or ours. That Mark Twain was a character that was deliberately rough around the edges, and pretty anti-racist by free standards of that time... Which implies that the guy considering that character a hick was less racist than that.

Thinking back to Waterboy. Strange movie, because he's technically the lead... But in reality, he's just supporting other people's comedy. Like, all the funniest moments are things that other actors do. And it's not even like he's playing the straight man that occasionally has jokes, like Harrold Ramis in Ghostbusters. He's definitely being funny throughout the movie... It's just that all the best lines and acts went to the "supporting" cast. I'd like to think that's deliberate, and give him credit for the unique style.
