Wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma



:cawg: He still can't say "Vote Trump" .

Speaking of whom:

quote:

How charming is this guy? Trump told Nevada voters last night to please cling to life until Election Day.

“I don’t care how sick you are,” he said, “hang on till November 8th, get out and vote and then, all we’re going to say is, we love you and we’ll remember you always.”

The crowd is cracking up. But this is not only in questionable taste – it’s misleading. Dying voters in Nevada, where a large 69% majority of ballots were cast early in 2012, only have to make it until the opening of early voting on 22 October to make their support for Trump known before dying.

The Trump campaign, which isn’t very good at get-out-the-vote, seems rarely to brief the candidate on useful information like this that he might share with voters.

And yes, if you vote early and then die before election day, your vote still counts. America.

Then Trump spots an Elvis impersonator. Most Las Vegas rally ever.

Well, the unspoken idea behind US society is that "only white people matter". Mercifully, they don't dominate enough to keep that fully the case anymore even if the knowledge of this is causing to freak out.

Asian-Americans don't have the same experience in the modern US that African-Americans, Latin-Americans, and Middle Eastern-Americans do. In the modern political climate they're virtually honorary white people by and large, though there are exceptions like that ad from the other day.

One of the potential issues facing the DNC is that a lot of racial minorities tend to be very socially conservative on everything except racial issues. Such is the GOP, though, that racial issues alone have driven previously solid GOP voting blocs like Muslims and African-Americans into the arms of the Democrats.

Oh yes. Additionally, I was wondering about how many of those Asians outraged about the ad immediately turned around and agreed that banning Muslims/gently caress affirmative action and provide no substitions were good and proper ideas.

Yep. That's one of the potential cracks in the DNC - a lot of racial minorities tend to be strongly conservative in most respects, especially social issues. Except for the matter of racism (and religious prejudice in the case of Muslims). Some of these minorities were once solid and reliable GOP voting blocs (Muslims IIRC voted consistently for the GOP at rates upwards of 90% until 9/11 and now are just as consistent voting blue - take a wild guess why), and have been driven into the arms of the DNC by how violently xenophobic the GOP has become.

Problem for the GOP is, everyone sane enough to realize this problem and think they need to seriously curb the racism and court those minorities back into the fold gets primaried by the Tea Party.

Evangelical Asians for one don't care about the xenophobia. So once again evangelicals are the worst.

Cruz looks so fuckin miserable that I have to imagine he's going to be ready to lead a GOP inquisition if Trump loses by a significant margin. Dude's gotta be waiting for the first chance to call Trump not a true conservative and holler about how he never wanted to endorse him but the establishment forced him into it.

Ted Cruz is a loving calamity-bringer to Trump's campaign. He gives that weird "vote your conscience" speech at the RNC and like a week later, Trump gets into a fight with gold star parents, then he sorta-semi endorses Trump without specifically naming him and then the debates happen and Trump polymorphs into a corncob. He is bad luck weaponized.

What's going to happen to both Pence and Cruz is going to be so sweet. It couldn't happen to nicer men.

I forgot how hilarious Cruz elbowing his wife in the face was; however, Carly eating it on some bleachers takes the cake.

This is just not true. Literally the above poll re Hilary/Trump favorables argues against this. Fox News just ran a super racist otherizing anti Asian "comedy" segment on national TV yesterday. It's untrue as a whole and it's dismissive to suggest this.

The conclusion is that God hates Ted Cruz and needs him to suffer for his iniquity.
