Romney would never degrade himself by eating tacos.

So does anyone want to take a guess at what happens if someone makes an attempt on HRC's life? The implication can now be laid at Trump's feet well into the future now by the media. Does the republican party finally shatter or do they manage to hold on somehow?

I've always wondered how a professional stylist (which I assume the campaign used) could possibly let that happen. Then again, the stylist's I've met have some crazy ideas on what looks good.

zoux posted:PETA is more about exposure than any kind of cohesive, directed or effective activist campaign. They are Dicks Out For Harambe incarnate. I was going to follow this up by asking how dumb someone has to be to rush the stage at a major presidential candidate's speech after what Trump said yesterday, and then I realized the answer was "about as dumb as you'd have to be to rush the stage at a major presidential candidate's speech in the first place." seiferguy posted:It's probably the same as the Black Lives Matter activists protesting Bernie's speech in Seattle. It's readily available, and easy exposure. The amount of whitesplaining of "Why protest Bernie's rally? He's the best hope for black people!" was hilarious. I was one of those whitesplainers. I was pretty gung-ho on Bernie last year and it wasn't until I actually started listening to what black people were saying that I realized how stupid my "but Bernie marched with Dr. King!" arguments were. If nothing else, being one of the Bernie supporters who ducked out before it turned into a diehard Bernout shitshow taught me a lot about just loving listening when people of color talk about issues facing them.

It might have looked fine in real life, in fact Trump's tan may look better irl, TV cameras and lighting are extremely unflattering. I mean, they should know that, but the Romney campaign stylist may not have actually been colorblind.

You remember how Romney's campaign touted their ORCA system as the best ever GOTV application that was gonna totally outperform anything Obama's campaign could manage and then it totally poo poo the bed and died like five different ways due to being cobbled-together piece of garbage built by corner-cutting lowest-bidder types looking to soak Romney for every cent they could get? Same principle.

I have no idea what happened there, but maybe Romney just spray-tanned himself in some back room where the lighting wasn't very good? Maybe he thought that he looked fine in the mirror, then walked out under bright spotlights everywhere and looked ridiculous.

Swing state with a pretty hefty pile of electoral votes, and it's one of the ones that's still not a complete lost cause for Trump. So it's important. Florida's probably going to overshadow Ohio this time, though, given the math that basically says Trump can't win without it.

Yeah it is which is why it's mind boggling how antagonistic the Trump campaign is being towards its very popular governor who also happens to have won the state primary. I saw a bunch of pics from the OH delegation to the RNC, they did not look like happy campers.

Why is Clinton's national lead not being reflected in state polls? She's tied in Iowa, up by two in Ohio and a bunch of others are close. If the national leads are so strong, shouldn't this be reflected in the states? http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/#plus

I saw a bunch of pics from the OH delegation to the RNC, they did not look like happy campers. I think Trump thinks he can just bowl Kasich over. If he's big enough and strong enough, he can make Kasich look weak and win Ohio because everyone will be in starry-eyed awe at Trump's strength. It ain't gonna work. I'm from Ohio and while my hometown, a suburb of Cleveland that's deep, deep blue, doesn't like Kasich very much, he's still decently popular statewide. For as blue as areas around Cleveland and Columbus are, there's a whole lot of wide-open red land in Ohio and they're more Kasich than Trump. Picking a fight with Kasich isn't going to win Trump votes.

I don't even understand what you're asking. Being ahead in national polls don't mean you're winning in every state. You don't need to win every state to still handily win the election. There are states both Clinton and Trump literally will never win barring some sort of insane disaster. Clinton is polling extremely well in the other states.

Unlike Trump, Putin is actually a competent authoritarian and certainly realizes Trump is a buffoon who Putin would like to win, but probably will not. Might as well spool up the war in Ukraine while the Olympics and election fill the news. Turn the situation into such a shitshow that even noted hawk and Putin-hater Hillary Clinton won't be able to do much when she enters office.
