Okay leave aside the bad phrasing of the highlighted part and actually read what he says in the extremely repetitive paragraphs of text.

  • PTSD is bad, vets having PTSD is bad
  • We're going to have better mental health care
  • Veterans shouldn't be committing suicide
  • We're going to fix the VA
  • Thanks, next question!

"But um, Mr. Trump, how are you going to do any of that? What is your plan? Do you even have a plan?"

Well like I said, when I saw the photo and headline just scrolling through the thread I figured it was some bat-boy clickbait nonsense. But now that I read my own words describing him as a "fat goober" his potential relation to Bill Clinton seems a lot more plausible.

Would Trump do any worse in the election if he and his campaign just stopped saying or doing anything for the next month?

He would probably do better, to be honest. When he managed to shut up for a few weeks the media went nuts filling time with overblown Clinton "scandals". If Trump just didn't say another word, didn't go on TV, didn't hold any rallies, he would probably go up in the polls.

Which is strange because Johnson polled 3.55 in the state in 2012. Either Clinton and Trump are both that bad (Possible. A lot of Hispanics in New Mexico are pro-wall; c.f. they elected Martinez twice) or something else is going on with that poll.

Gary Johnson was governor of New Mexico.

I'm guessing Obama's incumbency was a major reason for 2012 being like that.

Except the media knows that there is a hole with no bottom with Trump, and they're going to back up the excavators to his foundation, his Iran dealings and his taxes now.

I can't believe that we are a full week past that debate now, and they are still biting at the Machado chum. I want to say that Hillary is going to look like a goddamned genius for saving that nugget for the very end of the debate, but any competent campaign would have maaaaaaaaaaybe addressed it the day after and then promptly forgotten about it and tried to find other avenues of attack.

I don't want to jinx it but we may already be past that point for Trump and just don't know it. It's becoming increasingly clear that a large percentage of Republican voters (maybe Democrats too but there's not an example of a truly reprehensible Dem presidential candidate in the last 30 years) will vote for their candidate no matter what. Trump looks like he may have always been at that lowest amount of votes a Republican could get early on in the election and never really had the lead. Romney coming out as a Cuban spy probably wouldn't sink his campaign any lower than what Trump is at now, there's just only so much damage any scandal can do when people will vote party line no matter what.

It's going to be interesting (and/or terrifying) to see how many people voted for Trump after the election compared to Romney.

I was late to the election so I missed Sanders-mania in full swing but I've seen videos and read articles about how much his supporters absolutely detested Hillary. I don't disagree with most of their criticisms, personally. (although the ones who said she only got anywhere 'cuz of Bill arebeing unfair) but I think they would describe Hillary as "reprehensible" for her disastrous foreign intervention policies.

I try to be charitable with Trump supporters, though. It is easy to brush them off as "deplorables" but the election will be over soon and these people will still be Americans. I don't want to think of half the country as just pure evil. They're more...tragic and desperate, just like all the anti-establishment movements sweeping over the world.

Of course the whole point of Clinton's comments was that a large part but not all Trump supporters are deplorables, the other half are desperate and feeling voiceless.

Precisely. The single best thing he and his camp could do is just shut the gently caress up and get back on the teleprompter for the rest of the election. He'd PROBABLY still lose, but whenever he reacts he makes things worse for himself.

I'm weary of Trump's never-ending tidal wave of terrible and depressed that so many people are gobbling it up. Even if you could somehow strain off the horrible poo poo he says what's left is content-free. There are never details, only excessive use of the word "very."

I don't want to TV/IV or anything but Clinton just brought up something that I've faced dozens of times throughout the years running my business. Sometimes I will submit an invoice with terms of 30 days (sometimes 45 depending on the company) and they will conveniently 'lose" my invoice and I won't get paid for 90 days and in a few cases up to 6 months. These aren't small shops struggling to pay out either. They are huge companies with deep pockets that just push payment out because they can. There are times I've been really sweating it not because I'm doing poorly or not getting enough business, but because I haven't been reimbursed to work I did months ago and the terms of the invoice were ignored. There are times I was owed nearly $10k and was told "Oh we misplaced that invoice so we have to resubmit it through accounts payable which will take an additional 45-60 days to process." This isn't even abnormal at this point.

So even though I've done really well and I've grown my company at a very steady rate I sometimes am completely locked in place because large companies routinely decide they don't feel like paying out in a timely manner. There are times I have to find ways to delay a job while trying to save face because I do not have the cash to pay rent, my suppliers, and most importantly my employees, and take on another job. When I say I can't pay I really mean I have almost nothing in my checking and savings after expenses incurred in the process of getting work done.

Can she do anything about it? gently caress if I know, but it's the first time I've heard a politician bring it up.

In other instances, he abandoned steel altogether, instead choosing the far-less-expensive option of buying concrete from various companies, including some linked to the Luchese and Genovese crime families. Trump has never been accused of engaging in any wrongdoing for his business dealings with those companies, but it’s true that the Mafia has long controlled much of the concrete industry in New York.
