Unskewing of polls has already begun.
Even unskewed, does this seem horrifying from the GOP's POV? If you told me in 2012 that 1 in 18 people who voted for human sock puppet Mitt Romney would be voting for HILLARY loving CLINTON four years later, I would suit you up for a straight-jacket.

He is technically correct. If we kept sending our soldiers over there to die then they wouldn't have to inspire as many lone wolf attacks over here.

U.S. officials say American Muslims do report extremist threats

quote:

Muslim-Americans have repeatedly informed authorities of fellow Muslims they fear might be turning to extremism, law enforcement officials say, contrary to a claim by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump this week.

...

“I personally have been called by community members about several things, very significant things,” Downing told Reuters. “What we say to communities is that we don’t want you to profile humans, we want you to profile behavior.”

Charles Kurzman, a professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who has conducted several studies on Muslim-Americans and terrorism, disputed Trump's criticism.
“To claim there is no cooperation is false and defamatory to the Muslim-American community,“ Kurzman said.

We already know Trump is a lying piece of poo poo but it's important this gets said. Right?

A private organization chose to side with someone who has been one of their chief operatives for decades over a guy who - at that point - been a Democrat for only a couple weeks. Shocking.

Of course literally the only people in the whole world who care about this are on s4p, and they are melting down over it. Five of the top ten posts (plus one sticky) are about it

This is from last year. When Bernie barely existed at all and it seemed like Hillary would be essentially unopposed.

I think their outrage is that it was dated May 2015 and addressed how to plan for attacks against Hillary specifically. Bernie launched his campaign on the last day of April, and formally started it at the end of May.

No, this is not a particularly strong avenue of attack.

That email is about strengthening Hillary for the general against the Republican opposition, in the assumption that she would be the nominee. Which on May 26, 2015 pretty much everyone assumed.

The notable thing is that Trump responded by claiming that he'd never appear on such a low-rated show and that he's turned down their requests to appear multiple times over the last two years.

It's the same lines he gave when John Oliver's show attacked him a while back.

They're going to lose the election no matter what at this point, their best path now is to stick with Trump so they can dismiss him and his base from the moral high ground when he loses. So in the future they can pre-ratfuck if this ever happens again by pointing to the historic disaster of 2016. If they ratfuck Trump they still lose this election but also strengthen his base and make this problem that's tearing the party apart even worse.

This all makes sense. Honestly though at this point Trump should probably start employing a food taster because I can think of a third option for the GOP
