I wouldn't be shocked if Turnout was as good or better.

Black people generally hate/fear Trump as much if not more than they Love Obama. Also more black people in the voting pool just on demographics alone.

My problem is all my black friends are Nation of Islam anti woman, bow tie wearing libertarian, don't believe in voting, or weird Bernouts.

Ask them do they think the Trump endorsed militia grab-n-deport groups will care about their political views.

I hope she tries to just stay on policy as much as she can and then every time he goes personal, hit back with these sober fact based owns.

I think policy discussions are where Trump actually can get the most owned. Because the media and the viewer loves feeling smart so if Trump get baited on a policy topic, a moment where he fucks up some basic civic fact in trying to weasel around on a dumb budget negotiation question is far worse than Clinton demanding he apologize to the judge.


Just image if he made his previous comments about the wrong number of articles in the constitution but in a debate where he can get called on it and he might not back down or he might try to hand wave it away. No matter what: a disaster.

And there are so many stupid land mines like that in US civics. Like the limits on recess appointments. Or the national guard. Or loving treaty authority.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
So would it be safe to say today's speech was a warmup for how she's going to handle Trump in the debates?

My question is why on earth would the university's administration think this move wouldn't lead to the story getting even more traction. Are university administrators that loving disconnected from the real world?

Their argument for the lawsuit includes protecting victim-survivors and it sounds like the two victims in this case aren't buying it. This lawsuit has a better chance of getting the Feds to come dig in to the University (and the professor) more than it has to win against the school news paper.

John Kerry is Brett Favre. Been in the game for a long time, came close to winning it all but still lost in the end.

Service guarantees citizenship.

But seriously it's their kids will get born here which makes them citizens and nothing pisses people off quite like knowing you treated their parents like trash for no goddamn reason

I suggest you check out Super Bowl XXXI.

According to the Times article on the speech this begins a new strategy:

NYTimes posted:


Her campaign has also moved to confront other Republicans with Mr. Trump’s most provocative statements.

John D. Podesta, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, said that “Republicans up and down the ticket are going to have to choose whether they want to be complicit in this lurch toward extremism, or stand with the voters who can’t stomach it.”

When Georgia was on the verge of passing a campus carry bill a few months back (it got vetoed by the governor, thank God), I spoke to a professor who said he genuinely feared for his and his TAs' safety if the bill passed, because they have to deal with emotional students breaking down and begging for better grades all the drat time.
What does he teach? In 5 semesters of teaching undergrads, I never had one come to my office asking for a better grade.

Public policy. So he might be a bit more opinionated on the issue than most professors :v:. He's been doing it for like 15 years, though.
