We need to stop trying to match what is happening now to 2008 or 2012: it's a different situation, and when (if?) Trump starts going down, it will be for a different reason, too.

NotWearingPants posted:for them! Oh, hey, remember when I said it would be a net good for Sanders to willingly engage conservative audiences by focusing on fiscally liberal policies, that it would be a good thing for him to speak at Liberty University, and that treating The Other Side as satan incarnate only cements the impressionable within a conservative "we are under siege from all angles" mindset? Feels good to still be right.

TheScott2K posted:Politics isn't the World Cup you dumb motherfucker, you don't just suddenly start paying attention every four years. Many people absolutely do. And I'm not saying Hillary would never have amounted to anything in life without Bill, but you're kidding yourself if you think she would have become THE establishment candidate for president not just once but twice if it weren't for the association. She might be a policy wonk who has a quirky charm in private, but she has no charisma and is too cautious to have a truly innovative message. She became a Senator immediately upon leaving the White House with the understanding that she would run for president eventually. In the Senate, she played it safe but still had the ear of the media mostly because of name recognition. She served one term then shifted to running for president. When she lost, she became Sec State as consolation and also because having her be a cabinet member meant she couldn't triangulate Obama (which she started doing as soon as she left to prepare for 2016). She isn't a political rockstar. She's smart but on her own she is rather unremarkable as a politician. Why half the thread is convinced she's unstoppable is bizarre.

HalPhilipWalker posted:Why half the thread is convinced she's unstoppable is bizarre. Because every piece of conventional wisdom about American primary politics heavily points to the conclusion that she's unstoppable. Of course, it's always possible the conventional wisdom is wrong in this instance, but it's a comfortable bet. Also I think most people would say that you're greatly overstating the importance of the email scandal and that it's way too early to say that Clinton is in a 'death spiral'. Your post just kind of had a bunch of different stupid stuff in it.

It's seemed from the get go like Sanders had nothing to gain from following the Ye Modern US Politician Handebooke, and nothing to lose from trying to be a normal human being. As soon as the Liberty event was announced, it seemed, similarly, a win-win scenario. If what everyone thinks everyone expects happens and Sanders gets drowned out by a rabid conservative audience - they look unreasonable; if what everyone individually expects happens and Sanders delivers a good talk in a civil atmosphere and attendees provide rational exit soundbytes, he looks reasonable.
