he's popped up on my facebook feed from idiot friend-of-friends posting 'haha watch this guy OWN these feminazis'

also just search google news for his name. he's spreading pretty quickly amongst the usual suspects like theblaze et. al

Do the polls even matter at this point. It is one thing to spend money when the other person is doing the same. She is flooding airwaves with ads that people will forget in days months before the election just to make some meaningless mid-summer nights polls move to feel better about herself. I don't think flooding the airwaves with trump memes is going to go the way she plans. At some point people will tire of Trump and Hillary will be the one that keeps forcing him upon us.

so you think Hillary airing constant attack ads will hurt? I don't think past campaigns bear this out.

WTF are you guys talking about? Trump is tanking in the polling, raising hardly any money, has hardly any time to pivot nor apparently any desire to do so, his campaign is a trainwreck and Hillary has barely started to hit him on his dumpster fire of issues that have already alienated him from most of the electorate.

It's a possibility but something pretty much cataclysmic has to happen to Clinton at this point for her to not spend a billion dollars kicking Trump when he is already being buried in legitimately negative press for her to lose.

Most of Milo's draw is that he's a pretty decent provocateur and the people that show up to protest him are almost uniformly complete assholes themselves and only 'prove' Milo's points for him. Peaceful non-violent protest that humiliates with calmness is a lost art apparently.

Im talking about in regards to Milo, not in general. Milo goes after college campuses where he knows emotions run high and kids get antsy so he can always look cool and collected next to a screaming minority. Hes a troll.

Sullivan would go off the deep end on the Sarah Palin baby thing or "just asking questions" about race and IQ despite getting demolished over and over again. But I got to give it to Sullivan because his books helped get me out of the closet. A big point of his was the closet being evil and that being gay was a positively good thing. He may have saved my life, actually.

Milo, on the other hand:

quote:

Forcing gays back into the closet also solves the problem of what happens to children when they have two dads or two moms. Children raised in gay households are more likely to suffer mental problems, more likely to end up gay themselves and, if raised by lesbians, almost certain to witness domestic abuse.

The good news is that gay rights are in the minority, globally speaking. China, India and most of all Russia proudly celebrate the importance of the nuclear family.

You can hardly blame them. Online photo blogs from San Francisco’s notorious Folsom Street Fair will do nothing to dispel Vladimir Putin’s hunch that the west has become a decadent mess. Frankly, I would have been less ashamed to be gay in the days when being gay was something to be ashamed of. Gays were classier when they were worried about being queer-bashed.
I would advise not to protest his events because he is a troll but goddamn, I want to punch him! He should go live as gay in India, if he wants to experience what it's like, and get gang-raped for it because that's what happens there. I can introduce him to someone from there who can tell him about it. Milo is appalling.

This is the insidiousness of Milo. He is so offensive that his presence goads people into violence and hysterics, which of course makes him look cool and collected by comparison. And his people love him for the rage he inspires in others. He's really very good at it, like a reverse Daily Show segment from its peaked times a hundred.

Over the next 5 months Hillary will spend 1 billion dollars of dark money from wall street and the 1 percent to attack Donald Trump. She will not promote herself or her message because people hate it. By the end of this everyone will know about Donald Trump.

Trump will slowly spend 2.5 million on jet fuel flying back and forth from New York for the next 5 months promoting his news network Trump.news

It is what happens when the right finally figures the whole "daily show" angle of politics and jams it into 1000th gear.

In Yiannopoulos, it seems impossible to separate the man from the mythology, and really it’s not clear whether there is much separation anymore. Years ago, he tells me, he used to keep part of himself hidden away from public view, worried about whether others would like him.

Individual polls don't matter a whole hell of a lot but trends do. The fact that Trump is trending so badly in so many areas means that he has to work to stanch the bleeding instead of sharpening attacks on Hillary or building his path to victory. He doesn't seem to have the kind of money or organization to really efficiently do either of those jobs, so he either has to really change the way that he's operating or he'll fall further and further behind.

He doesn't need to change. Hillary will change first. If Trump starts polling below Gary Johnson I bet Hillary will stop running ads against him.
