SpaceDrake posted:Oh, as someone who grew up and reached full political awareness during the full Bill tenure (and grew up in a Bill-voting household), believe me, I largely agree with that assessment. It's just that there are still events that occurred during the Bill presidency that I wish hadn't been so wholly overshadowed by the World Trade Center attacks and America's newfound unending hatred of Muslims and people of Arabian descent. Then the existential threats got a little more real.

There's really no point in reaching at the white nationalist types. You only need to pull a small portion or demoralize it in order to change the election though.

It was 8-Bit Scholar the whole time. I guess I'd have seen it quicker had I been looking for an 'adult' but no one expects an adult to be making those kinds of noises. Rather surprising to say the least.

PoorMoralCompass posted:When will his party learn that? Or will they bend? Trump represents the culmination of their entire strategy. He's the belligerent billionaire riding high on insulting everyone who disagrees with him, ignoring all facts in exchange for "truthy" slogans, and attacking everything besides old white men. He's managed to get to the point where they simply cannot oppose him remotely effectively because he appeals to the gullible, ignorant, bigoted base they worked so hard to use for power. If they alienate that group, even if it is shrinking all the time, they can kiss almost all their support goodbye. They lost their rubes to a better conman and have no idea how to respond to the situation beyond trying to keep their grip on Congress after he fails.

Seems awkward but lovable dad is the meme going for Kaine Honestly if that's the portrayal of Kaine on SNL and other skits that'll help give favorable numbers. As that's totally relatable to people, especially dads. His Florida speech was better, even though it was much of the same content. But it seems most people thought he came across as likable and decent. Which definitely helps Hillary with one of her weaknesses

PoorMoralCompass posted:Wouldn't he be a nobody if he didn't have Bill Clinton to bitch about in the first place? Not sure, I'm not nearly old enough to know what Talk Radio's situation was in the late 80s but AFAIK Rush basically managed to climb on top of the right wing radio shitpile after the Fairness Doctrine was killed and made one-sided propaganda like his completely ok. Quorum posted:Yeah, Bloomberg's speech was surprisingly decent, probably because he basically unloaded on Donald Trump from the point of view of an Actual Billionaire, which was the point probably. He was still a poo poo but at least he was aimed the right way I suppose. The best part of Bloomberg's speech is the dead silence from Trump because there's not much, if anything, Trump could hit him on that Bloomberg couldn't demolish him in return. Bloomberg's got some truly lovely beliefs but having him attack Trump with the nation watching was a pretty smart move overall. SpaceDrake posted:

Meanwhile Pence is the rear end in a top hat who keeps putting those Jesus Is The Lord pamphlets on everyone's car even when the HoA puts out a notice for people to stop doing that.

Mainly because it is a stark reminder that "Wow, this is a real human being with real life goals and dreams and accomplishments" and like Bill Clintons speech you just can't square it with the Republican Party version of her...

I don't think any aspect of the Democratic Party actually scares The Donald. He knows he can bullshit and lie and poo poo on every single thing attached to D and his supporters will eat it up. But Bloomberg has to terrify him. A literal self-made man with as much or more money than him willing and able to stump for Hillary on business and finance acumen. This dude knows what Trump is all about and how he works because he literally runs in the exact same circles. So a steady, prolonged attack from Bloomberg on business and finance is going to mess his poo poo up. *Bloomberg speaks* *Trump angrily grabs Yellow Pages directory* *Looks up 'Ninja Assassins*

He only has the following emotions: 1) Smug contentment 2) Annoyance 3) Intent to commit spousal rape

It infuriates me to no end that conservatives act like people who have been married and divorced several times are morally superior to a couple who have been married 40 years and have stuck it out and made it work, whatever their reasons may be.

I imagine that's one of the major reasons the GOP act like this -- they threw absolutely everything they had against the Clintons and it failed to even dent them. Each and every one of of the GOPers know that if they did the same things, it would be insta-divorce. And yet the Clintons are still together. I can't imagine how much that would have to suck. Like, it must be almost trancedental amounts of suck.

I've been listening to the Slate Political Gabfest for years and still can't figure out what the poo poo Plotz sees in his man crush Michael Bloomberg. He's a First Amendment absolutist but is fine with Mr. Deport The Undesirables Into The East River somehow? I don't get it at all, but M-Bloom has a fanboy out there in DC apparently.

He's useful as a means to attack trump on Financial things in ways that someone running only on the left can't.
