She's being a little defensive -- people aren't looking to gently caress with Melania, they're looking to gently caress with Donald. Nobody's going to deport her.

Yeah, and the point is that Trump is focusing on illegal immigrants being raping satanists is hypocritical because the system is so hosed that even his wife might not have done it "correctly." The point is to show that the system should be improved and we should be more accommodating to immigrants, not less.

It's not saying "deport Melania because she's an illegal immigrant!" it's "if even the wife of Donald Trump had trouble immigrating correctly, the system must be so impenetrable and hard to deal with that it's a huge mistake to have a laser focus on things that don't matter."

Wasn't that An Actual Thing? Like, that's why some of her outfits look so boxy, because vest manufacturers suck at making them for women? I can't remember if that was just a goon with some moderate knowledge on the topic spitballing or a more legit thing.

Is this commuting to and from NYC going to finish him off? How is he ever going to get to Texas, Arizona and Utah if he has to fly back to NYC every night?

This is, to me, one of the most bizarre things about Trump. Who the gently caress can't stay away from their own bed for a single night? Especially when they can stay in any hotel they want? And US is huge so it's really loving inconvinient and time consuming.

To be fair there's no way that's not an outlier, but it's likely an outlier in 'lol Clinton is gonna win this, that's just kinda nuts' topics, not like, she's actually somehow secretly behind or something.

There's got to be room on that 757 for a bed he likes. Not like they have to use the cargo hold for a 4 person flight.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'm torn on the Melania thing.

On one hand I think the immigration system is hosed up and the idea that a non-threatening model might have had to jump through hoops that made her "illegal" at points seems like another example of why it needs to be reformed.

On the other hand Trump has made "illegals" his thing and Melania is part of that. And I think its actually kind of condescending to treat the Trumps as hands off. Don't attack kids and don't attack disengaged family but if you stand up at a rally or a convention and endorse your dad or husband or do interviews on news channels... well, would any surrogate who wasn't related to the candidate get passes on stuff family sometimes get passes on? If Katrina Pearson had some questionable immigration elements she'd be considered fair game. Melania, Ivana, Junior, and the rest are all grown adults who know that their husband/dad is saying and doing these hosed up things and still vehemently going to bat for him. So I say we treat them like any other surrogate.

In the end I guess if Melania's immigration was "illegal" at some stage I say we should hold Donald's feet to the fire and have him address it, but do so by advocating compassion for Melania and all the other immigrants and the need for reform.

If the poll looks unnaturally generous to Trump with Hispanics isn't the unskewing to assume he's doing even worse with men?

If it's hosed up in two different ways I wouldn't say that cancels out to it being good.

It seems counterintuitive, but the pollster Fox News uses is actually very good and doesn't have a Republican bias. It's not like Rasmussen or Gravis.
