Sure Trump's speech might be bad but it was longer so the negative is more diluted when you factor in dislike per second. At around the 38 minute mark the human mind reaches what we call "Trump fatigue". After that any further Trump based stimuli fails to provoke a response. After 1 hour the only sold Trump policy connection most human minds can make is Jeb = mess.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."



You kind of wonder how Trump got a convention bounce at all with such a negative overall reaction. Maybe it had more to do with telling Cruz to gently caress off.

Having a nice chuckle at it in this context, though.

my proctor was 3 hours late so the crowd of nervous wrecks I was part of got to stand around in line in 90 degree weather, then take the test in an over-air conditioned room, so 80% of my wrong answers were on the first section

if you scored less than a 173 you're a scrublord

McCain even took the poo poo Bush flung at him (black baby...) and endorsed him. Trump called him a coward and he endorsed him. McCain is not someone to rock the boat, despite his Maverick affection.

Donald Trump, 2013 posted:

“When he criticizes the president for using the term ‘American exceptionalism,’ if you’re in Russia, you don’t want to hear that America is exceptional,” Trump said on On the Record. “And if you’re in many other countries, whether it’s Germany or other places, you don’t want to hear about American exceptionalism because you think you’re exceptional. So I can see that being very insulting to the world.”

So how much is Trump actually going to hurt down ticket races? I've heard conflicting reports on how much the presidential candidate impacts those races. Seems to me that it is nearly impossible for Trump not to hurt some of the house and senate races.

Depends on how many republicans just don't vote; I don't know the statistics, but many voters just vote straight ticket

Actually having your decades old standardized test scores at the ready, and being willing to post them to a forum, is what means you're stupid. It also means you're a loving tedious person.

He started a war a year before and it was only in 2005 when the Iraq war got unpopular enough that everyone suddenly was against it from the start (like Trump). In 2004 he had a solid majority behind him (including the "you don't change horses during a race" aka war time president bonus).
