He's a piece of poo poo, no doubt, but he's very good at moving money around, passing the bill onto other people, playing the bankruptcy game and so on. It's clearly something that he enjoys doing. Why not play another game and try to take out an entire political party? I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing started with Bill thinking that Trump could never pull off such a plan, and Trump privately challenged him to a bet or something.

Seriously, the "Trump and Bill conspired together!" conspiracy theories stink of another sort of sexism and misogyny. Hillary couldn't possibly be winning on her own, it must be a benevolent conspiracy of these two men!

Write an e-book about this once Clinton is elected, put it on Amazon, spread the word on Freep and the usual suspects. You'll make a nice chunk of money. I'm serious. We need more people on the grift train before it derails. Edit: I think the RWM will embrace this as the real reason racism lost the election and to help pretend Trump never existed.

The idea that Trump is a Machiavellian clinton plant is the dumbest conspiracy theory. His rise and current conduct is perfectly consistent to the way he's lived his life and ascribing some intent on his part to how it's being received requires you to overlook that he's been doing this <exact> act for as long as he's been in the public eye. He's not some deep cover plant, he's a simple person with transparent motivations who has acted in exactly the manner throughout this campaign that a simple person with transparent motivations would. E: seems I was beaten. But seriously, dumbest conspiracy theory I can think of because it requires you to dismiss 4 decades of public statements all painting a picture of a very specific and terribly consistent person as some kind of deep cover acting. There is literally no one who has known him for any length of time who is surprised at any aspect of his campaign so to think he's in league with the Clinton's would mean that you think he's been keeping up this ruse for his entire adult life.

So the expectations for Trump at the first debate were low as gently caress and he still managed to fail to match them Now they're even LOWER. How low do they have to be before a "tie" is virtually the best outcome?

Now it shifts from, "oh he's crazy but can be rational when it comes down to it" to "so it looks like there's a 50/50 chance of getting a lunatic when he comes out in high stakes situations" which isn't nearly so good

I think you're slightly misreading the angle that poster was going for. It's not an explanation for Hillary's success, it's an explanation for Trump's constant staggering failure and incompetence; being a racist, sexist pig does not exactly immediately preclude him from running a tight ship within his campaign, and yet he's going out of his way to run the least tight ship possible. Hillary is doing fine on her own terms, and were it Pence or Kasich running, she'd likely still be handing them their rear end. That doesn't make Trump's whole deal look any less like a Springtime for Cheeto Hitler scenario.

Eh, sorry about the peeved off response to the clear sarcasm. It's just, you know that in the nearest future this will be one of the actual theories a lot of people will honest to God believe in. Speaking of which, rolling stone has a good article about how to counteract anxiety-driven conservatism: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/why-were-living-in-the-age-of-fear-w443554 (It starts by explaining the association between anxiety and black-and-white thinking and conservatism, which is probably old news to everyone here, but then it goes into mild suggestions about how to counteract this programming, which is something I haven't really seen before, and also something which will probably have to be explored soon. A lot of posters here seem to be really sad about their parents, so I thought they might be interested.) There's also Taibbi on political disenfranchisement: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/six-million-adults-who-wont-influence-this-election-w443693 . It's OK, but it ends with this really bizarre paragraph: quote:Just another reason to hate the political process as we head into this most disgusting of all presidential elections. The alien invasion can't come too soon.

Just read through the daily 2000 posts. I love that Trump seems to think: "No way could Hillary manage do prepare 3 days for the next debate. I get tired from that poo poo after an hour.". Hillary might be the biggest nerd in politics. You could probably ask her how to fix the Hispanic job market in Carson City and she would demonstrate a trend in a figure with statistics from several years from the top of her head. Trump would interrupt her to inform her that it's actually pronounced Carson City, Ne-vah-da. Reminder that the only flaw in Clinton's debate seemed to be "over-preparedness". Trump really is the guy who does nothing to prepare for a math test and then complains that math is biased. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Oct 7, 2016 |

If Vince ends up President, there is a very good chance he loses the office shortly thereafter to Steve Austin. Who, from listening to his podcast, is honestly a good deal more progressive than you would think.
