It's sweet that Democrats nominated Hilary because she was "more electable", but she's turned out to be arguably more poisonous with the American electorate than the least qualified, most vile candidate in history.

Democrats nominated her because she's the better, more qualified candidate and is better at campaigning.

Not parody

They were told they wouldn't be paid and that their travel wouldn't be reimbursed, and they still did the performances anyways? This is a pretty weak scandal if you can even call it that.

When it comes to Trump lies, the problem is picking just one before he spews enough more to make the chosen one irrelevant. Besides that, she's got to contend with the double standard of looking "shrill" if she harps on anything too hard as a woman while Trump's nonsense thrives off any attention, especially if he goes mean spirited.

Both points are definitely true. Thats why I think the best strategy is to get him to self destruct and I hope that her debate prep has been focused on ways to spot statements in the Stream of Trump Talk that can be countered in a way that makes Trump double down on an odious statement.

Probably talk about Seth some more, against his family's wishes, and how Seth was totally, probably, possibly was the DNC leak despite literally everything else saying otherwise.

I honestly hope Ecuador one day just says gently caress it and drags him out of the embassy and in to the waiting arms of Interpol. I can only imagine we haven't bribed/threatened them to do so yet because ultimately the US government is fine with him being the crazy rapist who rambles about stupid poo poo rather than a martyr.

From right near the start:

quote:

We are not able to pay the girls or cover travel,� Stephanie Scruggs, a regional field director wrote Jeff Popick, USA Freedom Kids founder and father to one of the girls in a January 5 email presented as evidence in the suit. �However we have coordinated with the event space to allow the girls to set up a table and pre-sell their album, shirts, ect if this is helpful to you.� (The Trump campaign did not return a Daily Beast request for comment.)

...

There was no merchandise table, and it wouldn�t have mattered if there was one: security didn�t allow the girls to bring any of their merchandise into the Pensacola Bay Center. They left it outside in the parking lot, where all of it�the t-shirts, the CDs, the patriotic posters�was stolen while the girls performed their act, Popick says.

It's a lovely thing to do, especially to True Believers.

There doesn't need to be an ultimate moral lesson to find the irony in the primary choice vs. reality a bit unsettling and frustrating.

That's the thing, they didn't get to perform at the Iowa rally, they paid out of pocket for airfare and travel on the assumption that their performance would get them enough publicity to recoup the expenses. Then the Trump campaign tells them they aren't actually going to get to go on stage a few hours before the rally.

A single CNN poll and holy poo poo this place turns into an arzy nightmare

It's less about Clinton potentially losing and more arzying about the fact that we're proving in real time that you can put up the worst presidential candidate in recent history and the media will do its best to work it into a horse race. This is not a good look for future elections. Demographics shifts should balance the CNNs of the world turning white nationalism into acceptable politics but gently caress its tiresome to see play out.
