That's because they're "conservative" memes, a true meme has no political allegiance.

And they would be better off saving the cash, honestly. If Trump is losing by the numbers we have seen (if those numbers are true), then the donors aren't going to help him at all. Nobody is going to toss cash to a scam artist without a chance in the world. This is the kind of poo poo that people point to in hindsight and mutter 'this is where it ended.'

This isn't about turning out the base to support Trump. You're right, spending money on Trump's campaign is for dumb idiots. Spending the same money you were going to spend on the GOP presidential nominee to motivate your base so that you don't end up losing Senate/House seats is a better plan.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Ted Kennedy was married and probably banging his much younger assistant. He was driving her home from a party and crashed a car into the water. He escaped the car and left her there and she died because of it, she would have made it had he contacted the cops. The body also had no panties on when they found it.

So the insinuation is that Kennedy either killed her, or let her die rather than risk getting caught having an affair. It doesn't stack up because banging your young assistant is a time honored tradition in DC. "I will gently caress my boss however nasty and dirty he wants it" is pretty much in the job description of a political assistant. So being caught with a young assistant you are banging is a non issue. Alternatively he could have been trying to hide the fact that he was driving drunk, but again a Senator driving drunk is not a thing they get in trouble for.

Regardless, she died because Kennedy did not call the cops and was alive without her panties in the car underwater for two hours. It's a tragic accident to liberals, to conservatives it's seems like a conspiracy and proves that liberal crusaders for women's rights don't give a drat about the women in their lives who aren't from elite backgrounds. The tragic accident and liberals not caring part is true, but the amount of loony conspiracy theories that came up around it turned it into a conspiracy fest. So while "Ted Kennedy is kinda of a jerk and hypocrite who let a woman die rather than get caught on the news" may have stuck, the insanity that came out later means people just roll their eyes.

Trump QUOTE OF THE DAY

quote:

Boy, am I happy about the Michael Jackson verdict...from the start it was obvious that the accuser's mother was just plain bad news...I just wish they could now prosecute her...Michael, for a little while at least, keep a low profile. Stay out of the tabloids and, for goodness sake, don't say hello to those little boys.

And why not

quote:

I know a lot of incredibly successful women. They have great educations, stellar careers, impressive jobs and super families. But secretly they may be suffering from something that therapists call 'bag lady syndrome.'

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
That Ballotpedia poll looks like an outlier. CBS/YouGov has Hillary at +3 in FL for example, and a new SurveyUSA poll has Hillary at +4.

If I am Trump, I'd be reassured at these numbers. He basically has a sham campaign at the moment, while Hillary and her SuperPAC are going all out, and they are only down 3-5% in key battleground states.

Update to the "Trump soliciting donations from foreign elected officials" story--

TPM posted:

I've now confirmed that Trump and sons have also been sending emails to all the MPs in Australia and Denmark. I have unconfirmed reports that MPs in Canada also received them. Indeed, Labor MP Tim Watts of Australia tells me he's gotten a flood of emails from the Trump's asking for money to defeat Crooked Hillary.

Now, you're likely asking: what on Earth is going on here? Obviously, it is strictly against US election law to receive campaign contributions from foreign nationals. I suspect knowingly soliciting them is likely also illegal. And when you're soliciting money from foreign parliamentarians it's probably a pretty good bet they're not US citizens. But obviously, as big as a buffoon as Trump is, and as crooked as he is, there's no possible way his campaign is intentionally soliciting small donor contributions from members of foreign parliaments. Somehow this must be incompetence in how they bought their email solicitation lists. But how?

...

The only plausible answer seems to be that the Trump campaign either dealt with a sloppy or disreputable list broker or was so desperate after its horrible May FEC report was released that it went to a broker and just said they wanted every list and they'd sort it all out later. I confess that both scenarios seem a little farfetched. But some version of one of them basically had to happen, unless there's a prankster actually inside the campaign.

...

So again, how can they be this incompetent, raining shame down on America by bombarding the descendants of Vikings with perplexing emails about his battle with Crooked Hillary?

As one of my colleagues noted, they need to be raising a ton of money right now, like before midnight tomorrow. Why? Because the June fundraising report will drop in late July, right during the GOP convention. If it looks as ridiculous as the last one, that will be a big problem. So basically, Iceland, Denmark, Australia, blast out the rafters. They appear to be desperate and incompetent and, because they're desperate and incompetent, traumatizing members of parliament in countries around the world because of it.

Again: yes, let's put this organizational genius in charge of the entire governmental machinery of these United States.

I mean, American polls are looking bad, but wait until the Icelandic votes roll in.
