I kinda want to commission a Texas poll. PPP will do a 6-10 question 500 sample size for $3000. I always thought it was higher than that. Now just have to find someone else to pay for it...

Also, I can't wait for HRC to lose her cool once for a second. CNN will run "Does Hillary Have The Temperament To Lead?" and Fox News will run "HRC Ruins Chance For White House" and every clickbait site will run "You'll be SHOCKED when you see what Hillary Clinton did!"

Mountaineer posted:What is Trump's campaign even spending money on? I just heard on the radio the other day that he raised a lot of money in July, though not as much as Clinton. It sounds like he isn't spending much on ads or organizing. It's all going into Trump companies so he can profit off of this, which was his whole reason for running anyway. It's clear that he does not actually want to be President.

A lot of it has already gone to pay for venues and services he owns.

ImpAtom posted:I think Trump is the kind of person who has lied his entire life and has never been in a position where his words really mattered so he's caught off guard by that suddenly changing. When you're rich you can get away with lying in the private sector because a) no one actually pays that much attention to what you're saying, you're not in constant public scrutiny; b) if you do lie about something it's no big deal; and c) when you're as litigious as Trump you can sue anyone who accuses you of lying and generally they're not going to bother paying the legal fees to fight you even if they're in the right. Needless to say, none of this applies if you're running for president and every word you say is plastered all over every news source in the world.

That's part of what gets me. He's arguing - not that he was misunderstood or miscommunicated or what-have-you- but that the baby incident didn't even happen days after Stephen Colbert literally opened the Late Show with video evidence. I mean, holy hell.

Reminder that Trump's meltdown is so huge that when the right wing lost their poo poo over Michele Obama's "slaves built the White House" comment that they tried to call her out, got embarrassed by the truth, then some people like Wifebeater O'Reilly doubled down on it, and almost nobody remembers it now.  Radish posted:If polling continues like this what the hell do the GOP leaders do? They can't just let Trump make their party look like a joke, but it sounds like they have no real mechanism to make him stop talking while he's associated with them as their Presidential candidate. I bet the Never-Trumpers are feeling really smug about now. They have to mitigate damage and prepare to rebuild in 2018 and 2020 while also ensuring no toxic candidate gets the nomination in 2020 (ie: Cruz). They can't cut him loose and until Trump's polling in the low-mid 20s "gently caress it we're splitting off" isn't going to be the less painful option for them. axeil posted:Cheering for a Clinton victory is the only time Eagles fans are going to see something they cheer for win a national championship.

If the Republicans want to clean up their primary they should draft a rule that you can't spend campaign funds on services from companies you own, or use books as campaign literature that you earn royalties from. I think they could do that internally without even cleaning up finance laws.

How exactly did Obama get it in 2008? It was a bit of perfect storm--he started with a boost of popularity due to media markets bleeding over from IL, and then the long primary forced him to build a pretty good ground game there to beat Hillary, which he pretty much kept intact until the election. The biggest thing to remember was that Obama's 2008 was steeped in a lot of language of bipartisanship, and for a while there was a decent bloc of moderate republicans that liked him, although that faded with Wright et al. He hung onto a a chunk of them though and that kept it close enough that big turnout in Gary, Indianapolis, South Bend, Bloomington and Evansville could get him over the top.

You sort of can, but there's an obtuse and Byzantine process that you have to go through that is never really explained, no one will get back in touch with you to help you through the process and even when you do manage to cancel the recurring payments you still can't actually remove your card information without supplying a different, valid card number. I think that's almost worse in a way. https://t.co/QqdJnM60KS

Trump is just running for president so his campaign can pay his companies with donor money. When an election is expected to cost $2 billion, getting half of the pie is a brilliant business strategy.

Its pretty lovely that the Democrats talk about how they support a $15 an hour minimum wage and how progressive they are, then city councils controlled by democrats do poo poo like this. Soooo progressive. It demonstrates the hypocrisy when democrats say poo poo like, "well work at the local level to pass your progressive agenda, we totally support that." Yeah, ok. This is always how it plays out. Democrats will push against progressive policies at the local level, always. Because its safe and easy and doesn't get national attention when they gently caress over progressive groups while going we're the most progressive ever!
