Nessus posted:If Trump does one good thing, I hope he at least puts some damage on the reflexive association between "Republican" and "good" that a lot of the rubes seem to have. A few pages back, but that will never happen. When he falls, all blame will be placed on him, Crooked Hillary, voting fraud, minorities, Obama, RINOs and just about everything else besides Republicans. The fact that he spewed the same gibberish that they demanded for decades will be completely ignored since rubes have been well trained to see that as an absolute good that can only be failed.

I don't like it though. The press has proven many times that they have no intention of being fair or not holding Clinton to ridiculous double standards. I'd rather she just keep blowing them off instead of inviting a bunch of people paid by Zucker and Murdoch to dig through her trash cans for anything they can find

Don't hold your breath on the press stopping whining about anything, ever, but especially not something a Clinton is doing. After her last presser they were back to whining about pressers within like 30 seconds

N00ba the Hutt posted:If you think this thread is bad now, just imagine what we'll be like next year at this time! quote:“He hasn’t changed his position on immigration,” Trump surrogate Katrina Pierson said on CNN last week in remarks that were widely mocked at the time but in hindsight seemed to capture internal thinking. “He’s changed the words that he is saying.” Amazing. They think just calling mass deportation humane will win people over. I was honestly expecting him to keep saying he's listening to everyone's opinion and evolving on immigration until November. Or even say he's keeping his final immigration policy a secret so that the cartels don't plan ahead. That way, he'd still get to talk about building the wall and how terrible immigrants are, but also say he'll make nonspecific allowances for "the good ones."

Well, the AP used it to imply Elie Wiesel got a corrupt meeting with Clinton while she was Secretary of State.

TVarmy posted:Amazing. They think just calling mass deportation humane will win people over. Like with every one of their positions on minorities, think it'll win them over the squeamish white republicans who couldn't quite justify voting Trump to themselves and were looking for an excuse. The problem is that demographic is probably so small as to be completely irrelevant since everyone who would vote for him already is committed and it alienates absolutely everyone else, including their base of angry bigots who get turned off by anything other than frothing at the mouth racism.

Night10194 posted:Wait, they think the crazy hitler speech is an election winner? Why the hell did they do the last two weeks before it, then? Surprising that a bunch of racist neo-nazis in denial are big fans of a crazy Hitler speech. I do feel bad for Ivanka though. She seems to be a decent enough person who tried valiantly to get her dad to be reasonable and at every turn she was stymied by the fact that he's a giant, orange, racist, baby. She even tried a Russian take over, and daddy just ignored the dictator whisperer in favor of his racist buddies who make him feel good. The Trump campaign is only going to accelerate down the path of insanity now. The last voices of moderation are quitting and being driven out. All that's left are insane people who are true believers in the silent majority and the power of hate. And those racist idiots are going to be so loving happy and adoring of Jersey Shore Mussolini that his narcissism won't let him do anything but follow them down this path. Epic High Five posted:I don't like it though. The press has proven many times that they have no intention of being fair or not holding Clinton to ridiculous double standards. Hillary is still not going to answer a single question or even converse with any member of the press. Instead she will spend 5 minutes of each day making them all sit on the floor of the plane while she reads to them from Abuela's Big Book Of Trump Oppo.

What worries me is that Trump surrounding himself with equally racist yes-men is going to get him really believing in his "rigged election" stories and order the remaining true believers following him into full on terrorism after his failure. The Neo-Nazis aren't going to take their one last real shot burning out lightly and he's not likely to do anything to discourage them. We are likely looking at a good number of hate crimes at minimum beginning in November.

I think what gets me the most about Hillary's strategy is that she realized how to use people's distrust in politicians for her own advantage. Just fly under the radar, and let the media eat Trump alive. This is a HORSE RACE after all right? And when she gets on the debate stage, well poo poo that's like 20 years of pent-up Republican hatred unleashed on a man who cries when people look at him funny. Like every loving thing Republicans did basically molded her into the perfect candidate to take them down. And they used up all their ammunition. Now the best they can do is CLINTON FOUNDATION and HER HEALTH. Clinton barely started on taking down Trump and his campaign. This entire election is like the culmination of Hillary's origin story which is like the beginning of the Pokemon movie. Paul Ryan: We were trying to create the perfect politician. We had our successes with the Bush and the Reagan. There were some...missteps... *smash cut to Mission_Accomplished.jpeg* PR: But we kept going regardless. Our opponents were our punching bags. Sex scandal, e-mail scandal, accusations of corruptions, all valid tactics. All to find the perfect stratagem for the ideal. Trump: TRUMP! PR: He is unrefined, but he will achieve greatness... PR: Yet...little did we know...that through our testing, we forged something new. Something we could not strike down. Something we never seen before... *giant pantsuit cocoon smashes through ceiling* *cocoon explodes to reveal Hillary* Trump: TRUMP? TRUMP! *MAGA hat followers charge Hillary* Hillary Clinton: Let me tell you...about cookies... *Holds up her hand* *curls it into a fist* *MAGA followers' chests explode* Follower #3245: Thanks...Obama... *Hillary starts walking toward Ryan* Mike Pence: Now hold on one moment! American people, do not forget about the negligence which led to Beng-*stops as Hillary knees him in the balls* Trump: TRUUUUUMP! *attempts to punch Hillary* *Hillary gives him a withering look* *Trump crumples to the floor, tries to cover his face but can't due to tiny loving hands* PR: *collapses against a wall* We tried to create the perfect politician... *Hillary stands in front of him* *Raises both hands* PR: ...and we succeeded. *Building explodes into sky-piercing pillar of light* --- *MAGA hat falls to the ground in front of rubble* *hat crushed underfoot by pantsuited leg* Yeah. Suck on that, Denesh D'souza.
