Shimrra Jamaane posted:So will last weeks DNC Convention go down as the most impactful of all time? Because it may have actually killed Trumps campaign and possibly the Republican Party as a whole. I'm seeing an easy parallel between this and the 1988 campaign. Popular incumbent, cabinet member running for their third term. Race looks close or winnable by challenger until the convention and then it's just over.

WorldsStrongestNerd posted:I think that the Republicans will try to force out Trump, who will then either sink the party or run a third party ticket. hosed. There's blood in the water, on the walls, coming out of...whatever. You're forgetting one other important detail as well: Hillary loving Clinton is going to be POTUS. She's been the target of the GOP smear machine for the past quarter century. Many people noted during her acceptance speech during the DNC that sometimes she has trouble connecting directly with large groups emotionally, except when she was expressing contempt for the Republicans. Like no damper or stage fright or self control could stop that pure, unadulterated poo poo from shining through. From January 2017 until late 2019 every time the GOP tries to obstruct or pull stupid poo poo all she has to do is look them in the eye and say, "You let Donald Trump happen. You're lucky to still have a loving job. I'll be happy to bring up this fact in every press conference if you can't play ball." Sure there are weenie Dems that will have some ability to poo poo things up, but you're gonna have Nancy Pelosi in the house controlling with an iron fist so that part's shored up. And that's assuming the Trumpster fire doesn't continue to the point where 30% of the GOP base doesn't vote/stays home (because Donald's not the nominee) so they lose the House and Senate. It's kind of hard to articulate how I feel about this situation. The people who have been fanning the conspiracy machine, attacking Hillary for having the temerity to not be content to stay home and bake loving cookies for 25 years have, in the same year that she finally gets the nom for President of the loving United States, managed to time all their horrible policies and stances since 1980 to come to fruition in an orange goblin who is ruining everything. As ye sow, so shall ye reap, etc. And it's loving magical. If you wrote a novel about this 5 years ago you couldn't sell it because it's just too goddamned farfetched. The Onion couldn't write this poo poo and still have it be called satire. If I drink any more from the well of schadenfreude I'm going to die of irony toxicity.

I wish people would stop making fun of trump's tiny hands. It reminds me of my tiny hands... Wait, no I don't, as I don't care while it needles him. Though, it does sadden me as I gave up trying to play the piano when I was young because my fingers were too short and I really wanted to play the piano... Still do.

kaleedity posted:If the RNC does get to the point where they drop Trump, the most important questions are who gets to tell him he's fired and will it be filmed live For the Nth time people, the RNC cannot drop Trump. Trump has to step down or become incapacitated and while the former isn't likely without a multi-billion dollar bribe the latter isn't going to happen unless some GOPers snap and beat him savagely. emdash posted:Repub Congress is already split that way, the House Freedom Caucus refuses to govern and the Speaker of the House is powerless to corral them If Ryan wasn't such a partisan shithead he'd tell the Freedom Caucus to eat poo poo and then start bringing up bills that can pass with Dem support. He prefers his right wing power and reelection over anything else though, because working with the dems would get a shitload of focus put on ousting him from the right.

Edit: ^^^^ Why is this not a political cartoon already, what the hellMahoning posted:Well they're all self-serving little fucks, so yes, they'll support him as long as he doesn't openly hurt their chances of getting re-elected. Which comes as no surprise to the jaded wonks on this dying comedy forum, but it's pretty glorious to see it so undeniably out in the public light of day. I'd really love to see Reince get some hard questions on this (he won't).

So to push you over the edge I'd like to remind everyone that should Hillary win her AG will be overseeing the prosecution of the Baylor title IX sexual assault and cover up case. To get why you'll be dying of irony toxicity look up who the chancellor of Baylor was when that poo poo went down.

At this point I'm starting to think that on the off, off, off chance Trump won, we'd see a 25th amendment removal almost immediately. Also that his name will be so toxic that his name licensing revenues are going to dry the gently caress up. No one is going to want anything to do with this guy if it includes his name on it in some prominent fashion, and his ego wouldn't allow it to not be.

He's beyond toxic at this point - Jeb Bush's national security adviser publicly stated that Trump's a madman and the GOPe are turning their backs on him. Barring a 9/11 repeat or economic collapse Hill-dog's going to win the election.

Generally political instability or terrorism means support for the right, but would that really work here? If people are scared and want to be protected do they go for safe/stable Clinton or erratic carrot man even if he talks tough to brown people?
