Okay it's been bugging me for a whole but what is the source of the "TRUMP *click*" thing? I vaguely recall it coming up out of 2012 but I'm not sure exactly what the gently caress.

Given how far off Rasmussen has been from other polling outfits this election I think it's fair to say that we can throw these out now. This is just getting stupid.

Rasmussen's like that every election. Something about their methodology strongly favors Republican candidates. It's kind of a running joke at this point.

remember how trump said cruz and kasich won't speak unless they endorse him?

quote:

Donald Trump told The New York Times that if his former rivals, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, do not endorse him, they should not be allowed to speak at the Republican National Convention.

"If there's no endorsement, I would not invite them to speak," Trump said, adding that his supporters would not approve of attempts to derail the billionaire developer's nomination at the convention.

A poster in this thread works for a pollster and said that a large number of Trump voters would just yell Trump! And hang up the phone. Their votes were not counted since they didn't complete the poll.

I also like the part where this was in the context of polling during the primaries and FI was using it to support his "guys, I think Trump will outperform his polling numbers", because he wasn't allowed to count those responses.

Clinton is the embodiment of neoliberalism. The defeat of Sanders proves that Democrats don't have to do gently caress all for the working or middle class because whites are demographically over in the party (outside of well of professionals who love neoliberalism) because we have enough minority votes to permanently tell populists to go gently caress off, and that if they don't get with the program they are racist/sexist/homophobic and thus bad people who will go down as histories losers.

Demographics means populism is going to die and be branded as the racist poo poo fest it is.

Bernie and Trump supporters are the most likely people to shout the name of their respective chosen candidates before hanging up. They don't realize they have to answer all the questions to count for the poll.

this was touched on already, but this entire WaPo article is a pro-click:

quote:

When Flake stood up and introduced himself, Trump told him, “You’ve been very critical of me.”

“Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that,” Flake responded, according to two Republican officials.

Flake was referencing Trump’s comments last summer about the military service of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam conflict. Trump questioned whether McCain was a war hero because he was captured.Flake told Trump that he wants to be able to support him — “I’m not part of the Never Trump movement,” the senator said — but that he remains uncomfortable backing his candidacy, the officials said.

Trump said at the meeting that he has yet to attack Flake hard but threatened to begin doing so. Flake stood up to Trump by urging him to stop attacking Mexicans. Trump predicted that Flake would lose his reelection, at which point Flake informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year, the sources said.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


So Trump was originally releasing the convention speaker schedule yesterday but decided to wait until today to do it so it would not take away from Hillary's email drama. But today he asked Ted Cruz to speak at the convention (although Joementum pointed out that he gets to speak no matter what since his name will be in the nomination process).

Trump cannot do anything right without looking like a fool.

Translation, our internal polling says that the entire party will detonate if we steal the nomination.

Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.
I don't know anything about anything but it sure seems like Cruz would obviously want to speak at the convention, not just because he's still a "live" candidate but because he'll be in front of those hundreds of Cruz delegates with an opportunity to fire them up at exactly the right time. It's clear he's as "burn it all down" as Trump.

Also I'm shuddering thinking what it means that listening to Ted Cruz deliver an oration would get anybody fired up.
