But yeah, NA is probably lower info since they average less education and tougher life situations than the national average, I assume.

thethreeman posted:in veepstakes news Why is this veepstakes news? Christie is Trump's sycophantic manservant, not his potential VP. paranoid randroid posted:i mean, hes not wrong taht we just sent huge stacks of cash over to Afghanistan and Iraq for """"reasons""" There was zero accountability for actually physical pallets of money and billions went "missing" during the war. I'd be stunned as hell if some soldiers didn't try to hide a few bricks of $100s somewhere like in whatever that movie with George Clooney and Matt Damon was called. I wish we only sent "baskets" of money though. Or maybe Trump was thinking of that money when he made his comments. Assuming Trump thinks and isn't pure improv. blue squares posted:Isn't Anderson Cooper not being fair to that Florida woman, considering she was the Attorney General and it's her job to defend whatever the law is? Would she be allowed to decide not to defend a law just because she personally disagreed with it? And as a lawyer defending a law, wouldn't she have to use whatever she thinks is the most effective legal argument? NC's AG has outright refused to defend stupid laws like their trans bathroom bill. You could make the argument that an AG should know when a law is hilariously and indefensibly unconstitutional and would have a duty to not waste the state's time and taxpayer money on it. An AG should not be trying to fuel "gay panic" regardless though. shiksa posted:Not if they can't pay his 100 million ransom demand for attending a debatr Man if he actually skips a general election debate it'd be so incredible. Several hours of major news networks covering a Q&A with Hilary while constant "Trump's too much of a coward to show up" comments get made. Surely no network, even Fox, would consider canceling a debate if Trump decides not to attend. Oiled and Ready posted:You think so? For making jokes on a senator a low-info voter only knows is "the white woman who said she was Native American to be special"? Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Native American communities pay closer attention to stuff like that than other Americans do since an actual Native American senator would be a big deal. Even if it's someone who has to track it back several generations to a single relative, maybe.

nachos posted:If he is still down double digits in a couple months I think he's going to cite some mysterious health reason and drop out. There's no loving way trump has the stamina to lose badly and be ridiculed for 5 more months. I'm not too far off from your opinion but I think the health reason excuse doesn't come out until after he publicly melts down and it comes from a surrogate.

Others have pointed out that Trump appears to have at least one major personality disorder, so it's worth looking at how the stress of a presidential campaign could exacerbate it. He's in good physical shape for his age. But he's not in good health.

fade5 posted:Correct. Elizabeth Warren may or may not have Native American heritage (if she does, it's way back in the past), but either way Trump constantly calling her "Pocahontas" is not going to endear him to the vast majority of Native Americans. It's not going to endear him with anyone who doesn't like someone who acts like a giant dick.

Everyone has someone telling them about maybe not true family ancestry, my great uncle claims we have relatives who were Quakers who came over in the 1600s but I have no idea how true that really is. In this scenario I'd be an oatmeal peddler in my trumpian nickname

Yeah, the worst case scenario is that she goosed her resume a bit, like about 90% of the population has at one time or another. Her professional accomplishments are what matter, and they're impressive enough that Republicans desperately want to talk about something else.

He was also nominally supportive of those Bundy idiots in Oregon. While they were rummaging around in native american stuff and cutting roads through sacred grounds and all. Probably not a particularly big deal, but you just reminded me of it.
