Trump is one of those dogs that drags his leash around with his mouth while people try to grab it and he barks at them.

Except he's more of a bitch than any actual dog could be.

How much effort do you think it took Conway to keep him quiet-ish and less blatantly stupid/bigoted in September? She's probably ready to accept Death's sweet embrace if he should come to her before the end of the campaign.

I like comparing the election to Jojo because the debate was basically a Jojo fight scene of constant "you forgot one thing"

I was half expecting Hillary to summon Tim Kaine in blue body paint and a loincloth

i would not recommend antagonizing them in the wake of a trump loss

im not kidding about some of them probably resorting to some sort of violent reaction. this is the most polarized politics have ever been, and trump is directly appealing to the angry, bitter privilege of a lot of suburban white dudes who have never had their power meaningfully questioned in their entire lives. im not saying 'every trump supporter will turn into a murderer' or anything but there will definitely be incidents, especially if Trump decides to bang on about Clinton rigging the polls.

I suppose by "take over" I mean the Breitbart dude is the one who can whisper in his ear and send him off in the general direction of thinking Clinton personal attacks are a good idea. Like throwing a bone in the general direction of where you want the aforementioned dog to go to get it to fight another dog that it eventually would have fought itself.

quote:

Leaked audio of a conversation between Hillary Clinton and donors during a February fundraising event shows the Democrat nominee describing Bernie Sanders supporters as "children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their parents’ basement."

Speaking at a Virginia fundraiser hosted by former U.S. ambassador Beatrice Welters, Clinton says in a clip released by the Free Beacon Friday that many of her former primary opponent's supporters sought things like “free college, free healthcare,” saying that she preferred to occupy the space "from the center-left to the center-right" on the political spectrum.

During the conversation Clinton confesses to feeling "bewildered" by those to her far-left and far-right in the election.

"There is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates," she said. "And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel."

While stressing the need to not serve as a "wet blanket on idealism," Clinton paints fans of the then-surging Vermont senator as political newbies attempting to deal with an economy that has fallen short of their expectations.

"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement," she said. "They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future."

Clinton added: "If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."

"I think we all should be really understanding of that," Clinton said.

The audio leak surfaces just two days after Sanders hit the campaign trail on Wednesday to try to win those same young voters that Clinton has struggled to attract since clinching the Democratic nomination.

Editor’s note: The headline and lede of this story have been changed to better reflect Clinton’s tone.

Conway probably isn't happy Trump keeps being loving terrible at politics by exacerbating scandals on Twitter at 3am, but she probably agrees with the sentiment in those tweets. Unless she resigns from the campaign before the election with a press conference about what a tool Trump is then I'm going to assume she is a professional and a Trump supporter.

She would have walked after blatantly lying about easily checkable stuff on Rachel Maddow shortly after getting the job if she was able to have those kinds of feelings.

i mean, everything she says is pretty accurate. the 'parents' basement' thing doesn't mean that she thinks they're losers, just that they've been poorly done by society.

A lot of them will admit Trump is a flawed messenger, but they want to maintain a significant SCOTUS majority. It makes sense. Who else would anti-abortion and anti-gay people vote for?

pretty good for Hillary. Her campaign might have leaked it themselves. It makes her look reasonable and is the kind of talk that might sway even more GOP'ers.

Yeah, my own political leanings are more toward Sanders, but I don't see how this hurts her now that the primaries are well over and the nature of Donald Trump is very clear.
