"If Hillary wins in a landslide the map will look like a Hillary landslide"
- noted Data Journalist

He means "Clinton could beat Obama's numbers substantially on the popular vote but wind up with the exact same map as him," but I agree it's not exactly phrased well

seriously

what is Boosted hiding that he won't take a picture of himself wearing the hat

Is Boosted a zit faced teenager???

I'm just asking questions

Well, it's been pointed out that he could blur out his face in order to protect his secret identity. The only explanation, therefore, is that his face is already really blurry and that he'd still be recognised.

So keep an eye out for a blurry-faced man with no hat; if seen in public, will probably be reluctantly trailing around after a woman who knows she's too good for him.

Yeah, this. I don't think I'm as down on D&D as some, but every time I jump into a thread it's either ridiculous esoteric slapfights or someone's college dissertation, or both.

And I'm really only in it for the slapfights, so CSPAM is clearly superior.

I bought an SA account during the 2008 election because I was looking for a place to endlessly fret over Obama, and I wasn't interested in Reddit because nested comments are annoying. LF was fun, shame about the Unpleasantness.

Ah so he's just referring to a close-EV race as a "landslide" cause he's all about the relevant numbers.

Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.

Dallas Morning News posted:

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump declared for the first time Friday that he does, in fact, believe President Barack Obama was born in the U.S.

He took no responsibility for fueling the conspiracy theory that the president was born elsewhere.

For five years, Trump sought to delegitimize the nation's first black president, insinuating that his Hawaii birth certificate was doctored or fabricated, demanding that Obama produce a "long form" certificate, and then refusing to accept that document's authenticity.

On Friday morning, Trump insisted that Hillary Clinton's own campaign started the birther controversy — a claim widely deemed false — and added: "I finished it. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again."

Journalists shouted, "Why did it take so long?" but Trump left the stage without answering or explaining his timing or what persuaded him to reverse course after so many years.

In the previous 16 hours, Trump refused to repudiate the debunked claims even as senior campaign aides did so on his behalf — an unusual spectacle in a presidential campaign.

Inexplicably the media has apparently decided in unison that they have had enough of Trump's poo poo.

I'm starting to get the feeling that there might be something behind the scenes at work here, of all the things that Trump should have been called on it seems the final straw has been broken. Like maybe Trump tried to egregiously scam them on the charter plane or there was something off the record that was just beyond the pale.

I hope that they keep c-spam open after the election.

just a racist intolerant piece of poo poo living in a state of irrational and perpetual fear

I don't legitimately hate him, I find him funny and ultimately sad at the same time. I don't really agree with the clause but I'm upholding it because it's a gag and I don't really actually expect him to do anything about it.

Maybe I'll let it slide for debate days, and election day until he inadvertently says something incredibly racist in this thread on those days.

Don't be so aggressively weird about it :chloe:
