The Wired article about Trump's digital strategy guy is pretty good.

quote:

Just before Trump spoke at the Republican convention, Parscale made a six-figure ad buy on Twitter, purchasing the promoted hashtag, #TextTrump88022. Meanwhile, the campaign has released a truly odd series of ads that feature Trump and various shots of astronauts and other space imagery.

For Harris, who ran digital for Sen. Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential bid, it’s the weirdness of these ads that makes them work. “I think the Trump campaign has shown again to Beltway consultants that this isn’t about $50,000 Hollywood video shoots,” Harris says. “This is about effective digital operations. It’s gritty. It’s fast-paced, and it’s about what the base wants to hear.”

Hashtags about texting and astronaut ads are what the people want!

Well her campaign staff thinks it's in play if they diverted resources there this month.

I was looking at electoral maps recently, and it was crazy to me how many EV blowouts there have been since Nixon 2. This circus election is really a learning opportunity.

the racial demographics of their poll are
58% white
38% unknown (including 62% of Trump supporters)
4% "minorities"

Intramuscular benzodiazepines sound pretty good, though, and I'm a big baby when it comes to needles. Plus I'm between crippling addictions at the moment, so this sounds like the way to go.

Another heartwarming story from the GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA (owned and controlled by the GRAND OLD PARTY):

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/gay-south-carolina-police-chief-makes-historic-sheriffs-41552238

This is a VERY typical SC small town too just like the one I live in, the one my parents live in, etc.

60% white, 40% black, diverse as all hell.

I like how AP painfully tries to paint the people in the town/county as bigots ("QUIET DISCRIMINATION") even though the town voted the mayor out of office literally because the mayor fired the gay police chief and was caught on tape saying mean things about gay people.

I can't wait until our extremely diverse and tolerant state votes for DONALD J. TRUMP in a LANDSLIDE.


The Democrats made this state a complete poo poo-hole over the second half of the 20th century, but ever since the mid 1990s GOP takeover we've been making great strides.

A great place to live, a place with far fewer whites as a % of the population than the U.S., and much less than New England liberal authoritarian aryan states, where people of different colors live free, send their children to the same single school, and are tolerant and welcoming of all people, unlike New England liberal authoritarian aryan states where the residents call the cops if they see a person of color walking through their neighborhood.

God bless the great state of SOUTH CAROLINA.

Who pays for this? Does the RNC commission a hacky poll with the advice to keep polling until they get a favorable result? Does the trump campaign pay for that? Is it just done on spec because they're right wing hacks?

Protectionism is just another bullshit promise to turn back time and bring things back to some idealized economic past.
It's also a way to implement regressive taxation without it seeming as such.

Trump's tax returns are going to get leaked, right? There must have been dozens (hundreds?) of accountants in firm(s) that had access and copies to those returns. Then you have a horde of IRS agents that had access/copies. How the gently caress could they possibly stay hidden? This election has already seen hacked emails released into the wild and fully examined as if it was all fair game.

Where is the Edward Snowden of pencil-pushing math nerds? They need to step up and serve their country
