https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/762669882571980801 Boy, can't wait! Will it just be television static because he has no actual policy, or will it be him elaborating on the even worse idea of suspending ALL laws/regulations, not just economic ones?

He's not going to get less than 40%. He's going to lose in a landslide, but that landslide is almost certainly going to still mean somewhere (slightly) north of 40% of the popular vote. The only way that doesn't happen is if the GOPe starts actively sabotaging him.

Assuming he sticks to the script, Trump's economic plan is a handout to top earners and a gently caress you to the working class white voters that he exploited to win the primary. Bet they won't care though.

Yeah, I was going to say, this can't be real.quote:Missionary style pornography will result in a fine or up to 30 days in jail, while pornography that involves any kind of homogayness, that being sodomy or Devil worshipping, will result in long-term prison sentences.

So, this morning's Clinton slam was this Iranian nuclear scientist who was mentioned in her emails. Apparently he vanished, showed up in the US, possibly defected for millions, then undefected, claimed he was kidnapped... something something... was executed by Iran. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/iran-executes-nuclear-scientist-who-spied-for-us-226763 http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/07/clintons-server-has-emails-discussing-nuclear-scientist-executed-by-iran-video/ Looks like the guy was loopy as hell and returning to Iran pretty much was suicide, if you ask me.

The only way that doesn't happen is if the GOPe starts actively sabotaging him. I arbitrarily put his popular vote floor at what I'm calling The Goldwater Line of 38.5%. Basically he was the last guy most of the general public was legitimately afraid of giving the nuclear weapons to, and he still was barely under 40%. What we're not going to get is one of those almost solid red/blue maps like 1964, 1972 or 1984 because too many states are pure red no matter what happens. Hillary can run up the score in the most populous states, but she can't flip places like West Virginia or Tennessee even if Trump starts melting down the white male babies of married evangelical Christian parents to make Trump brand baby oil. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Hey I know we're talking about two different things here: Population vs Population who votes, and the percentage of that. I just don't want this fellow thinking that literally 40% of Americans support Tramp when we just honestly don't know what half of them think about anything.

Apparently he vanished, showed up in the US, possibly defected for millions, then undefected, claimed he was kidnapped... something something... was executed by Iran. My understanding is that he possibly returned due to fear for his family. Clinton's state department tried to cover for him by obfuscating what exactly happened. But this unravelled during the Benghazi investigation, where a lot of Hillary's correspondence was released to the public. Included in this was a (non-classified) email a state department employee sent to Clinton which obliquely alluded to the case. CNN then ran with an article which basically connected the dots and pointed to the guy having therefore cooperated with the US. Boom, he gets executed. As far as I can see Clinton acted absolutely properly. If you want to finger anyone, I'd finger either CNN for going ahead with the story when they knew pretty well it'd put someone in danger, the post-Clinton state department for failing to vet all the emails before release, and the Benghazi investigation for going on fishing operations that expose things that can get people killed. The only way Clinton could have prevented this would be by "illegally deleting emails". Fangz fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Aug 8, 2016 |
