Let me just put you through the motions on just what a Jeb tweet account would like if “he” were the nominee. First of all I don’t think Jeb would spend most of his time on twitter. I would think there would be different outlets rather than twitter to explain your hostility toward anyone. Jeb! Wouldn’t complain about the 1st amendment either. If you think about it during the whole primary Jeb! Never once accused the media as its personal enemy despite certain media outlets were out to get him. Jeb! Would have run an honest, down to earth, general election campaign and attack Clinton on certain policies rather than blaming everything on the mainstream media. That Jeb! Tweet with the gun was his last desperate attempt to garnish support but it went nowhere. It also solidified that people who backed Trump would continue to support Trump. If Jeb! Won the nominee there would have still been outspoken Trump supporters calling Jeb! fat and a pussy!

Trump needs to be goaded into a libel/slander suit just to add to the clown show of this election. I'd wager that if he doesn't release his tax returns before the first debate, Hillary might try and nail him on it and wheedle at his insecurity

what would a "solid attack" in the debates look like? i mean really think about it. imagine DJT saying it, whatever it is


is it a claim that the public won't have heard repeated endless times already, and got completely inoculated against giving a poo poo?

will it be in no way hypocritical for him, of all people, to be the one calling her out on it?

will he phrase it and time it in a way that really makes it land effectively, and not overplay his hand, or have it come out of nowhere in a response to the wrong question?

will it definitely not be overshadowed by something incredibly loving bizarre he says less than twenty seconds later?

how is he going to cope in front of a crowd who are not overwhelmingly already on his side?


seriously, it's not going to be like the primaries. it takes preparation and skill to be effective at the best of times

If we're differentiating between irony and sarcasm then we have to back to Socrates. Which really brings us back to corrupting children. In the end, everything in the Trump thread leads us back to child-loving.

My debate expectations: Trump manages to avoid saying anything totally outrageous during the debates, loads of people write articles about how he's pivoted to being a serious candidate, then the next day he says that slaves were better off before they were freed.

Trump will talk and talk about how the article is full of lies but never formally challenge it because he's a coward and also knows it's true.

You are the Trump Tutelage: do you really think Trump is going to just land a blow on Clinton and that's all that will happen? The general election started a couple of weeks ago and he shoots himself in the foot every day in situations that are fully under his control.
I think cable news is more Network than Good Night and Good Luck. It'll probably be something along the lines of Trump having an unusually incisive attack on Clinton that makes her stumble. Trump will then say a bunch of dumb word salad poo poo in follow-up as he always does, and then release a statement after the debate clarifying his position + adding another line of attack. The hungry-for-novelty news media will curiously elide the dumb poo poo and lay in to Clinton, because they don't seriously think Trump has a chance of winning, and because they aren't actually afraid of mortally wounding Hillary. Doing this will let them spice up the news cycle for a little while and pretend like the race isn't already over, drat the consequences.

It's all spectacle.
