Epic High Five posted:I dunno, they'll feel emboldened but no goddamn way 99% of the racist wing of the GOP is going to march into a seething mass of minority protesters just to endorse Trump, especially when like every single other notable GOPer has said they aren't attending and the funding is so bad they'll be eating off-brand chicken nuggets

My dad showing me West Wing when I was 8-9 years old got me into politics. Or John Larroquette threatening to bludgeon people with a cricket bat got me into politics. Either way, I enjoy that show far too much. Except for season 5 after like... the first 2 or 3 episodes. Then it gets unbearable until Alan Alda shows up.

I wonder what the split on people who support openly burning the Qu'aran is for Trump. There's no crosstabs on it.

They'll never get their race war that they want because they'll never participate in it. Just look at like Freepers and the Bundys and what not, it's all fantasizing about what other people will do.

I legitimately believe that the vast majority of polls do not want to be associated with results that confirm that a significant number of White Americans are for Book Burning and for Segregated Prom Ceremonies. And I say this as a White guy who is loving flabbergasted that Itty Bitty Finger gently caress is leading the White vote versus Clinton. It's a damning statistic.

When Trump decided to start fundraising he spammed so hard that even some of the people who sell bulk e-mail addresses cut him off:quote:According to ReturnPath, 79% of Trump fundraising emails were caught in spam filters, an extremely high rate by industry standards, seemingly because Trump was using purchased or rented lists rather than ones the campaign had grown organically through campaign-related supporter sign ups. https://www.campaignsandelections.com/campaign-insider/growing-pains-for-trump-s-email-effort quote:As a variety of email experts have noted, the campaign’s initial email pitch was particularly problematic because it was sent from a previously unknown domain, triggering lots of spam filters. quote:Trump's email program also has a creative issue to resolve. When Trump’s creative first hit a rented list June 28, it received a 0.4 percent bounce-back rate, which is standard. When the Trump campaign provided the next round of creative, the emails were sent a second time to the same list on June 30 and the bounce-back rate was 5.5 percent, which raised a red flag, according to a consultant who rented email lists to the Trump campaign.

Donald Trump is rich enough to troll his way through a Republican primary campaign where his main competition is the dumb, underachieving Bush kid. He is not rich enough to win a general election campaign against Hillary Clinton with Barack Obama's organization.

The RNC demanded Trump start raising money for the party, so he's doing it in the most childish, passive-aggressive, lovely way possible. I approve.

These are not liquid assets that can be tapped to fund a campaign. Also many of his businesses are assembled into an arcane web that makes no loving sense to me outside of being a way of storing his money or just vanity projects.

Neeksy posted:Much of his worth is calculated on the value of his brand, as well as his properties. When you put it that way, he's very clearly been self-funding to an enormous degree, trading on (and decreasing the value of) his personal brand, to purchase vast amounts of free media. The only problem is that it's nice to have actual money at some point, for organizational purposes and whatnot.

Also many of his businesses are assembled into an arcane web that makes no loving sense to me outside of being a way of storing his money or just vanity projects. If Trump has valuable but illiquid assets he could arrange to borrow the cash to self-fund using the property as collateral. He is the King of Debt after all. But the truth is despite his big talk and whatever his actual net worth is, he doesn't want to throw out large sums of money on a campaign. He probably hates that he's put $50 million in already let alone $500 million. He'll continue to go as cheap as possible rather than put up additional large sums of money himself, that's for sure. vvvv he does really look like that guy, I've thought that for awhile. vvvv I wonder if the doctor has secret tapes of Ivanka he listens to.
