Whoops, not literally the same tweet, but he did call mansplaining "a derogatory term about my gender" in the #cuntfusing tweet. http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/991475-notch-creator-beautiful-game-minecraft-now-calls-upon That other thing is also amazing.

Tonight's debate will be a good barometer of how competent the Hillary campaign is. Pence is a trained, disciplined politician who is going to come out swinging, armed with all the attacks Ailes and Bannon have ever fantasized about delivering. If the campaign has drilled Kaine well enough to turn the tables on a berserking Pence, I'll be a lot more confident in their ability to see out the next 5 weeks. On the other hand, if we see Kaine spend the entire night defending attacks on Hillary, the media narrative will flip, and the Trump campaign halts its death spiral when they aren't playing defense.

TyrantWD posted:Tonight's debate will be a good barometer of how competent the Hillary campaign is. Unless one of them fucks up in some spectacular way no one will give a drat. The VP spot is perhaps the least important spot in government. Teddy Roosevelt called it "The broom closet of history" and if his predecessor wasn't assassinated that's where he'd be. No one cares. Pence is also not particularly disciplined or talented. Hoosiers hated his rear end for what he did to their state. They went from a moderate business style republican who largely rejected identity politics to Pence who made their state a laughing stock and shrank the tax base with his lovely tea party ideals. He was looking at getting primaried and if he didn't move upwards he'd have been moved out. He was not getting reelected as governor and Hoosiers wouldn't accept him for any other important position.

The news cycle will push past the VP debate so loving fast compared to how long the first debate was discussed. Also we have a massive hurricane about to hit Florida's east coast, so that's gonna draw some attention.

Doorknob Slobber posted:honestly its going to be boring probably Yeah, this is the feeling I get. Pence is terrible but he's not a political neophyte like Trump and I figure he can hold his own in a debate. Everyone will say the candidate they support won and the media will call it a win for the Trump campaign because it's the first good news they've gotten in a week. Then again, I said the same thing about the first debate and I was wrong so I hope I'm wrong again.

But those props, even if they materialize, aren't going to translate to a change in the polls. Honesty, I don't think Pence is up to the task of defending Trump for 90 minutes given his own track record of saying extremely idiotic things.

WHOOPS posted:He caucused very well here and there is some consternation about the state GOP making incremental gains lately. it should still go to Hillary soundly. Also, there's no Senate race here to bolster turnout to help House races and Bernie's populist politics are a much more natural fit for Minnesota than Hillary, as Bernie's 60-40 primary win attests. The second rally is in the Twin Cities, which seems much more like a "whip up your base" thing, but might also help the races in MN-2 and MN-3, which are the southern suburbs, and both have about a 2% Republican lean, and are theoretically vulnerable if Democrats can sufficiently get their base to turn out. That lack of a Senate race could also help flip these districts, if voters get sufficiently turned off to Trump to stay home. I don't think there's any particular danger, and if Amy Klobuchar or Al Franken were up for re-election, I doubt they'd do anything more than a perfunctory rally in the Twin Cities, but there's at least enough theoretical worry to make sure that poll numbers don't dip here and give Republicans a chance to play offense.

Teddy Roosevelt called it "The broom closet of history" and if his predecessor wasn't assassinated that's where he'd be. Yeah, and he was shoved into that broom closet explicitly to get him out of the way. One of politic's funniest blunders (from the POV of his enemies). Reminds me of this funny anecdote though about Hanna, who is the one who lamented Roosevelt as the "damned cowboy": quote:cKinley's death left Hanna devastated both personally and politically. Although the two had not been allies, the new president, Roosevelt, reached out to Hanna, hoping to secure his influence in the Senate. Hanna indicated that he was willing to come to terms with Roosevelt on two conditions: that Roosevelt carry out McKinley's political agenda, and that the President cease from his habit of calling Hanna "old man", something which greatly annoyed the senator.

Jorge Luis Borges posted:I timidly point out this monstrousness to my interlocutor. He laughs at my antiquated scruples and raises Jesuitical or Nietzschean arguments: the end justifies the means, necessity knows no law, there is no law other than the will of the strongest, the Reich is strong, the air forces of the Reich have destroyed Coventry, etc. I mumble that I am resigned to passing from the morality of Jesus to that of Zarathustra or the Black Ant but that our rapid conversion then prohibits us from pitying Germany for the injustice it suffered in 1919. On that date which he does not want to forget, England and France were strong; there is no law other than the will of the strongest; therefore, those calumnied nations acted correctly in wanting to ruin Germany, and one cannot condemn them for anything other than having been indecisive (and even culpably merciful) in the execution of that plan. Disdaining these dry abstractions, my interlocutor begins or outlines a panegyric to Hitler: that providential man whose indefatigable discourses preach the extinction of all charlatans and demagogues, and whose incendiary bombs, unmitigated by verbose declarations of war, announce from the firmament the ruin of rapacious imperialism. Afterward, immediately afterward, a second wonder occurs. It is of a moral nature and almost unbelievable.

It basically implies that all Immigrants are Hispanic.

I don't know about that. I think Speaker of the House has done that more than anything, the debate just retroactively fits into that narrative. I think Ryan could have won a primary in 2016 or 2020, or at least had as much of a chance as any Rubio or Cruz or whatever, he just doesn't appeal to the Republican base in the same way that your average Trump, Carson, or Huckabee does. The monster they've created wants Ted Nugent for president, not Paul Ryan's perpetual College Republican. edit: cant cook creole bream posted:As much as I like this scenario, wouldn't that be a bit presumptive?

The immigration issue as a political wedge issue is defined realistically as people being mad about Hispanic and Muslim immigrants, and furthermore the comedy value of Pence and the moderator being dumbfounded because they don't speak the language would be priceless.
