Instead of cutting funding to poorly-performing schools, why not have it trigger an audit instead where you're going to look really closely at how that district is being managed, and potentially firing some incompetents?

https://twitter.com/wpjenna/status/728372155126300674 Two possibilities here. 1. Trump has no idea how voting works at all 2. He really doesn't want to be president and is sabotaging his chances of getting over 1237.

The incompetents will usually be the state/county officials underfunding the school, and would never be targeted.

Person Dyslexic posted:One of my old high school acquaintances who has recently become pro-Drumpf (After spending months railing against him) posted this tweet and commented that it seemed, "Genuine. Flawed, but genuine." So I guess he is managing to convince some people? You get the sense that the word "the" was dictated but not typed, right between "love" and "Hispanics." Also lol http://www.vox.com/2016/5/5/11602458/donald-trump-grill-taco-bowl quote:On the same pass I also ordered "beef tacos" ($13.50) which turned out to be a fried tortilla bowl heaped with romaine lettuce, grated yellow cheese, and plain ground beef that was so devoid of flavor, it rendered an insult to Mexicans every bit as profound as Drumpf’s previous pronouncements. Drumpf food is bland food. That tweet is just as effective as Trump posting a picture with him holding a bagel from Dunkin Donuts on Passover and saying "I love Jews!" No one he needs to convert s going to be swayed by this bullshit.

MIGF, when we move funds from lazy, underperforming schools to innovative successful schools, do we also move the kids? If those schools are doing so well because the administrators are geniuses, we should probably use that genius on the kids who need it the most, those who've been burned by a bad school.

We should have racial and economic diversity as a funding metric of a sufficient weight as informed by evidence.

The fact that doing that has been repeatedly confirmed illegal for the past 50 years? They can still teach that Reaganomics works or whatever but it's been made quite clear that excessively Christian stuff will be tossed out. You have a better chance of getting that in public schooling in Australia or the UK, as it turns out.

DaveWoo posted:3. He's saying something crazy just to get attention. Speaking of which, I came across someone on my Facebook today who argues we shouldn't be responding to or talking about what he's saying because it's playing into his hands to get attention. I'm curious what people think of that. Personally, I'm of three thoughts: 1) This may not actually be a ploy to get attention. There is the possibility he is simply in fact a gigantic idiot 2) Not talking about it is not going to work out anyway, because the problem is not on an individual level (media spreads and perseverates it, he aligns with attitudes of Republican party, etc.), and at any rate it's not like not talking about it is going to help at this point 3) It'll get him more exposure, but that also means negative exposure. And since his unfavorability levels keep climbing, well. What do y'all think?

I'm curious what people think of that. There was a time to ignore Donald Trump (remember when HuffPo or someone said they would file stories about him in entertainment rather than politics?) but it has looong since passed. It didn't work then because he was a big dumb idiot with name recognition in a field of very boring serious old guys in suits, so somebody was bound to talk about him. That let him get exposure with the segment of the GOP base that actually liked the dumb stuff he said, and those voters basically imprint on a candidate like ducklings. At this point I think he'll probably have difficulty making headway in the general, but I think the right strategy is to go specific and negative. Make sure people remember every dumb thing he's said, because there's something offensive to each and every group of people in there. Press for specifics and show how his ideas don't make a lick of logical sense. These things didnt work on republican primary voters because they have a long history of not caring about racism or facts, but they hold a lot more water in the general.

Some blogger for Russia Insider dusted off his 3 year idle account and started running anti-Clinton pieces continually once it became clear Sanders had zero chance of winning. You can see what kind of terrible writing the person does by clicking their name, that brings up all their past articles.
