The spin continues, and the room keeps going faster, liquids are starting to seperate, but trump sits at the center, pivoting slowly.

Goatman Sacks posted:That Fahrenthold thing is up Joe Schmoe isn't going to care that Trump had folks pay his charity instead of him because that doesn't sound bad, it sounds like he's cutting out paperwork. It's the "Donald Trump's charity is a slushfund" thing that has actual legs, and we've already heard all that. Also, can someone smart about taxes and stuff tell me why Donald would have to pay taxes if he got it as income and then donated the money to charity himself? Like wouldn't he just be able to deduct the donation on his taxes? I realize that charitable contribution deduction caps out at 30% or 50% of income or something, but there's no risk he's at that cap, right?

It's the "Donald Trump's charity is a slushfund" thing that has actual legs, and we've already heard all that. Wherein you posit that because you don't understand it, obviously "normal folks" wouldn't either. But basically he redirected money owed to him to his foundation instead so he could spend the money poo poo without paying taxes for it. If he were paid the money and then donated it, he would have to pay taxes on it as income, then get a deduction then there's this important detail: quote:But, tax experts say, the IRS generally requires that the person who was owed the money pay income tax on it. One key factor: Did the person exercise control over where their money went? If the money was directed to a specific recipient, it generally counts as income.

DACK FAYDEN posted:We don't have to wait. One candidate has no conventional GotV apparatus and the other is heavily favored among undersampled voters to boot. It will look completely obvious in hindsight. Trump will lose, you can't win with just racist whites anymore. However 6 months ago I'd never have predicted Trump would be polling within MOE of Clinton anywhere that matters or have >5% chance of winning on 538/PEC/whatever. The general is not the Republican primary, Trump is historically unqualified, he's alienated nearly demographic, the Democrats could nominate a paper bag etc etc etc. Guess I'm dumb! Unrelated, it's fun to contrast Trump now with McGovern's experience in 1972. Both won highly contested primaries against the party establishment's candidate. The Democratic establishment proceeded to all but abandon McGovern, while the current Republican leadership have almost completely fallen in line behind Trump. McGovern's sins (from Wikipedia): quote:In the end, McGovern won the nomination by winning primaries through grassroots support in spite of establishment opposition. McGovern had led a commission to re-design the Democratic nomination system after the divisive nomination struggle and convention of 1968. The fundamental principle of the McGovern Commission—that the Democratic primaries should determine the winner of the Democratic nomination—have lasted throughout every subsequent nomination contest. However, the new rules angered many prominent Democrats whose influence was marginalized, and those politicians refused to support McGovern's campaign (some even supporting Nixon instead), leaving the McGovern campaign at a significant disadvantage in funding compared to Nixon. Meanwhile McCain et al are fine with Donald "Expel all Muslims" Trump.

Eh, depends; but remember he also likes to boast about how he runs his own business and its all his Big Sexy Brain, so thats why this kind of thing would under any other circumstances be so damning. the fact that no one bothered to look at poo poo last fall is galling on so many levels.

I think the Republicans are more in favor of someone who will give them a SCOTUS justice to replace Scalia, and would probably actually sacrifice their collective firstborn if it meant they would get it.

Yeah, anyone who thought that Republicans would abandon Trump in droves really wasn't paying attention. Clinton winning is an existential crisis for long term conservative policy goals, even if Republicans hold congress for the next eight years and never allow the Democrats to push through a single piece of legislation. SCOTUS seats are just too important for the GOP to abandon Trump and try again in 2020.

That said I think they realize that if Killary Klinton appoints SCOTUS justices - especially if it becomes plural (I expect they'll desperately throw Merrick Garland on and pray he has either a heart condition or a sudden awakening to human bio diversity) - their entire situation may start collapsing way faster than they can organize. A lot of the Republican machine has been carefully extending their margins.
