I wish they'd held their fire on that one and someone had actually managed to ask him about it in person just to see if he'd lose his poo poo.

he'd probably either walk away from the interview or murder the person on the spot, i wouldn't chance it either

Yea I know 'lol nothing matters' and all but I genuinely can't see how CNN can backtrack stuff like Lemon going insanely aggro (rightly) on Lewandowski and just having everyone laugh in his face and call him a lying idiot, and stuff like, ya know, 'Donald Trump raped his wife'. Even for the most simpering press, there's points of no return, and 'this guy is a goddamn rapist' and open scorn for his surrogates are pretty strong contender for those.

trump held a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at his new hotel, then told the press to stay put while he took the camermen on a whirlwind tour

he basically used the press to film a free infomercial and they are pissed

For a while, GBS continued to move further and further left, helped along by moderator decisions both good (probations for being a racist sexist piece of poo poo) and bad (arbitrary enforcement of grammar/spelling/derailing/etc. rules that stifled real discussion). This created a vocal minority of crazy assholes who felt they were being pushed off "their website" by the SJW sensitivity PC police. So when GBS went to a rules-light format in late 2013 (getting rid of a lot of bad rules that stifled discussion) it allowed a reactionary brigade of maniacs mostly motivated by anti-trans sentiment to take over the forum simply through volume of posting. Eventually they ran most other posters out to other, non-lovely subfora. There have been efforts since then to clean it up, some of which have been successful - it's a hell of a lot better now with Smythe and Genesplicer than it was a year ago, but the damage has been done. Also it's full of some of the whiniest and most entitled idiots on the site who freak out whenever any change is suggested or made.

in the sense that the laws of probability say that almost anything is literally possible, yes.

In the sense of being likely, not much of one, but not literally none.

teased a big birther announcement and press conference, left the cable networks showing an empty podium for a full hour, gave a 25 minute infomercial for his hotel interspersed with medal of honor human shields, then devoted about 30 seconds to saying obama was born in the united states and he personally ended the birther controversy that hillary started

Old school Republicans are the product of the backlash against Civil Rights, Open Housing, school desegregation, etc. We usually stop short of calling white-flight suburban Republicans racist, but they invented the dogwhistle, my man.

unless they find some EMAIL or something that has crooked hillary giving blumenthal his marching orders i feel like that approach would hold up

Pretty much, the CNN (and probably MSNBC and other major outlets) marching orders seem to be 'maybe he did, it's he said he said at this point, but even if he did Trump chose to spend years obsessing on it on his own', which is good, because, ya know, that's what happened!

If Blumenthal gets covered tomorrow, it'll only be until 8pm because Lemon seems to be having none of that, and instead he will be covering the Congressional Black Caucus awards, or some other big yearly gathering

Why yes, Trump did bring up birtherism and how it's not his fault and it's just asking questions the day before the Congressional Black Caucus' yearly affair that a lot of press will be at

Yea the worst case for the Blumenthal connection is Clinton ditches dead weight with a 'listen I have no connection to his choices, and if he was a part of the origin of this I fully condemn that' kinda statement.
