In his deluded mind his stupid tweets about "Crooked Hillary" put her back in her place. Undoubtedly the people around him are fluffing him up going "you've done it again Don!" No one calls him Don.

Does Paul Ryan have any actual political skills at all? He comes off as basically a high school libertarian who never outgrew his childish ideas on how the world works. He managed to maneuver himself into the exact same lovely spot Boehner spent 5 miserable years in, without securing any kind of leverage for himself at all. Now he seems to have done the same with Trump. He held out for a random amount of time and then endorsed the guy with seemingly nothing to show for it. Hell of a player, that Paul Ryan.

I thought that interview was before Hillary's speech. I do not know if his "handlers" will try harder to get him to tone it down (if we see Manafort step down, then we know Trump wants nothing to do with that) but his rally tonight showed that he has no intention of toning anything down especially when he gets angry.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:ISIS will not simply suffer a 'crushing defeat' nor will it be a positive topic of discussion for Clinton. Like nazis and emperor worship, isil is an idea. An idea which we can defeat only by repeating the successes of policy the last time we had to kill inappropriate ideas. We are at war, and its goddamn time our nation begins to act like it. We need more bombs and less smart bombs--- an idea has never been defeated by smart bombing, only by enough dumb bombing to make the holders of the idea know that continued adherence to it means death.

Sir Tonk posted:The direct connections to the NOI are problematic, much like the NBPP, but yes they're hilarious and very good at scaring white people. The NOI is quite possibly my favorite bizarre religious sect in the US. They do a ton of good work, their history is nuts, their theology is considerably beyond nuts (even with Farrakhan's liberal revisionism  ), and they probably get a lot of their funding from security contracting that, uh, may or may not be a borderline protection racket.I'm not entirely sure I'm in favor, but they're an extremely interesting group.

Arrgytehpirate posted:Is it too early to start thinking about who HRC will pick for VP? BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Tim Kaine quote:Julien Castro quote:Sherrod Brown quote:Deval Patrick quote:Tom Perez Aside from virtually no experience in foreign policy or in campaigning, or having a high national profile (three traits Hillary has plenty of), Perez checks off everything Hillary could want in a VP. Hillary likes him, Obama likes him, he has enough liberal credibility from his work as a civil rights lawyer and as secretary of labor to draw in the Sanders/Warren wing of the party without alienating the establishment, he's Dominican, fluent in spanish, and he has distance from Wall St. In the last 3 weeks he's made noise both with the bump to OT pay for salaried workers and the settlement of the Verizon strike, and it's contributing to buzz that he might be able to get out the vote for Hillary on the ticket. A pump piece, via Politico: Top Democrats turn to Perez as sleeper VP quote:The idea of Perez making the leap to vice president is, on the face of it, inconceivable: Aside from his limited experience in elected office, it’s not as though Clinton would need him to win Maryland or the couldn’t-be-more-liberal D.C. suburb of Takoma Park, where he lives. quote:“Our experience is that Tom knows working families in his bones. You don’t have to do a lot of explaining to him when you’re talking to him, and he just knows how to act,” said Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry, who declined to comment on the speculation but called Perez “one of the finest labor secretaries since Frances Perkins,” referring to the fourth labor secretary, who served under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. quote:Clinton, who hasn’t spent much time with any of the people being talked about as prospective running mates (the selection process is way, way down the road, people familiar with the matter say), has taken a liking to Perez and spent a fair amount of time with him, beginning with a long phone conversation wonking out on economic development and other progressive policy measures when she called to ask for his endorsement. More from The Guardian: 'Tom Perez has guts': US labor secretary being eyed as Clinton's running mate quote:With two-thirds of a year left until the new president is sworn in, Perez still has an intimidating list of unfinished business – paid leave, auto-enrolling US workers into 401K or other pension programs and a higher minimum wage among others– that he’d like to accomplish. As the election nears, he may have even more on his plate: Perez is said to be a potential vice-presidential pick. quote:“Lot of legislators don’t understand what they have to do and how the system works best. He was able to get things done because he was able to work with people,” he said. “He understood what they were looking for, what their issues might have been regarding specific pieces of legislation. And he listened.” quote:“People in this country are resilient. I’ve met so many folks who got kicked to the side of the road in the Great Recession and they’ve rebounded. They inspire me,” he said. “I also meet people who are trying their hardest and are working a full-time job and they are getting their food at a food pantry. I’ve met a woman in Detroit a few months ago – she joined the Fight for $15 movement, mother of three. The night before I met her, she slept in her car with her three kids. That’s not right. We can do better as a nation.” quote:The past few months have also seen speculation that Perez might end up as Hillary Clinton’s running mate. Perez – who has at times joined Clinton on the campaign trail – insists he is focused on his day job. Finally, have the National Review melting down over the idea of a Perez VP pick: Tom Perez: The Leftist Radical Who Could Be Hillary Clinton’s Running Mate quote:Perez’s liberal credentials are as impeccable as they come. Mother Jones called him “one of the administration’s most stalwart progressives.” Conservative policy experts who have followed his work in the Justice and Labor Departments consider him perhaps the Obama administration’s most radical and relentless ideologue. Iain Murray, the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s vice president of strategy, calls Perez “possibly the most dangerous person in the administration right now.” “His rewriting of U.S. labor law is probably the most fundamental attack on the free-enterprise system going on at present,” Murray says. “If he has his way, we won’t just revert to the 1930s. We’ll do things that even Franklin Roosevelt couldn’t do, like eliminate vast numbers of independent-contractor jobs and unionize those that remain.” Truly, the D&Dest candidate. also: Hollismason posted:I would straight up campaign for Clinton if she picked Tom Perez as VP.
