The solution to Zika is mosquito eradication. They're an invasive species in America, anyway, so gently caress 'em let's kill 'em all.

radical meme posted:I agree with Fauxton on this, I think Hillary wants to maintain a decorum of respectability in contrast to Trump. Also, I don't even think Obama would have done this if not for being in the last 283 days of his Presidency; as he points out in the clip. She already appeared on SNL in a skit that mocked her this year. She doesn't have the comedic chops of Obama, and she nods her head too much, but it's not a disaster. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jh2n5ki0KE

I remember riding my bike down the street as a kid behind the fogger breathing in probably malathion. Good times. The generation before was DDT, I guess. These days though, I cant recall the last time I've seen a mosquito truck. I drop mosquito dunks in all the areas around my property that hold water, but that only does so much good if other people in the area don't do the same.

She just needs to have Biden appointed as VP for life, he's got enough comedy in him to cover for her. E: VVV Yea, I wasn't trying to argue with you, I just kind of used your post as a springboard. We cool.

I really don't want Hillary doing comedy. Obama is a rare diamond but when DNCers try to be cool we get Gore dancing badly or Kerry looking goofier than usual. If she wants to show incredible disdain at idiots trying to trap her in a congressional hearing that's fine since she nailed that one.

I don't think there was much consideration of the possibility that Trump would seal the nomination at that time so her expected most likely opponents were, like, Bush and Rubio. Doing grandma humor on SNL is a good tactic against them, not so much against the guy who screams about Mexican blood compromising one's integrity.

Just have to ramp up production of the genetically modified males with the built-in kill switch.

McAlister posted:Another bit of misleading framing is the implication or claim that Clintons' server was set up after she was appointed SoS. In reality the Clinton family server was set up by Bill after he stepped down around 2001ish. Hillary had her blackberry hooked up to it all during the primary. Setting up a secure email server is a significant endeavor for the layman. By claiming it was done after she stepped up you make listeners suspicious and prime them to accept a devious motive. The truth that she just kept on using the setup she'd been using, otoh, flows much more naturally into Hillary's stated reason, convenience. All her poo poo was there and why mess with what works? Just as a point of reference clintonemail.com was registered on January 15th 2009 and the server seems to have been set up by her keystone cop IT guy around the same time. How was she using it in 2001? The notion that it was a long-term email account that would be a hassle to change (with appointments, calendars etc) is made up nonsense. Not trying to "gotcha" you but with most things related to the Clintons it's genuinely hard to sift through the bullshit to get actual facts. ozmunkeh fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jun 10, 2016 |

Arrgytehpirate posted:Fine replace HRC and Trump with democratic and republican nominee. I'm interested in the procedural aspect. The procedure would be completely the same. The candidate picks a running mate, there is internal vetting of the running mate but there is no official vote or anything from the party about who the running mate is. It's entirely the candidate's decision as far as I'm aware.

It's entirely the candidate's decision as far as I'm aware. There are legal requirements in several states that the parties need to submit names on official documents to print on ballots, so it isn't just automatically whoever the nominee wants, and can switch whenever. They're voted upon at the conventions, and then that's that.

If the GOP had such a hard on for getting rid of Trump that they'd do all this next level political acrobatics they could just simply have a majority vote of the convention rules committee and strip his delegates. But they can't.

Prester Jane posted:I have received several messages from Goons asking about my opinion Re: how Trump will handle the pressure of a real General election. I have (with permission) reprinted one of those messages here so that I can properly address the subject. A couple of things. One, Trump has always claimed to sleep four or five hours a night. Second, he seemed to suffer a chronic lack of attention as a child, with a father that would only value him for his success, with an obligatory imported strict German nanny raising him before being sent to boarding school. It seems like that pattern has continued. quote:The Trump kids, Meyers posited to me, were very much raised to reflect their father’s image of himself. “They learned very early on to be loved and to fit in with the image their father prized so much,” he said. “What narcissistic parents usually do is they want compliance, and boy, we have no better example of children who seem to be complying with their father and his agenda than these children.” (Growing up, “what he cared about was respect,” Ivanka recalled in a recent Politico Magazine profile. “You would never hear us yelling at our parents or using a tone that was inappropriate or disrespectful. Even a tone.”) http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/05/donald-trump-kids-normal Trump has always been in the public eye, and suffered a fall in its glare plenty of times before. Wouldn't that inure him to what's going to happen in November.

I'm still surprised no one's actually shot at Obama after all these years. It was even a plot point in a Tom Clancy novel from well before Obama came along: the young, charismatic, popular black candidate for president (Tom Clancy so he's a Republican of course) is assassinated by a KKK member. I'm going to be surprised if no one tries to assassinate Hillary, too.

Inferior Third Season posted:I don't think that's right. It is customary now that the Republicans and Democrats allow the nominee to choose their running mate, but it is not necessary. There is a vote at the conventions to name the running mate, but it is now mostly a formality. The Libertarian Party (lol) do it a bit differently, and the nominee had to argue at the convention to convince delegates to vote for the running mate he wanted. Yeah, this - the party still votes on the VP nominee. There was (still might be?) some speculation/murmurs in regards to this on the GOP side: here's just one article on it. It's almost certainly an absurd notion, but a thought was: Cruz's (and other) delegates, while many are forced/obliged to vote Trump on the first X votes... could they be numerous enough stage a rebellion on the VP vote?
