greatn posted:I think a major problem is a lot of districts that could theoretically flip with a ten point win don't actually have a democratic nominee. Exactly. Any other election year and not even bothering with deep red districts is just a smart allocation of resources. This time, they're getting shafted because they had a shot to flip if they'd put somebody decent up. I'm just glad Solen has a shot in hell of dethroning Paul Ryan.

gfsincere posted:Considering none of us took him seriously AND they probably have just as abhorrent views on women, they may have dug up some of the oppo as was like "eh, no one is gonna care about this" because they didn't. I can't fault them for taking him as a joke until it was too late and no one was laughing. This is the key point, they're not just as bad as him though, he's actually worse but thats a good thing for the primary crowd. They couldn't match his public awfulness and they fell. He said in the primary women should be punished for abortions for gods sake. Even if all this came out then, I don't know that it would have mattered, his core still treats him like a god, maybe even more so now that they feel under attack. They were already #nevertrump back then, I think he still would have steamrolled.

They have pretty much pulled out their balls and dragged them across his phone by tweeting yet another story about Trump and women like 10 minutes after the C&D letter got tweeted.

here's the thing, if this swan dive continues, the only people g'd up to still votes for trump will be les deplorables. Of the ones that are actually US citizens, most live in heavily red areas that would never turn blue anyway. However, the depressed turnout in contested districts where sane people live may very well flip more seats than we have considered. Ground game at the presidential level manifests itself at the congressional level. If it really is 10/15-1 registration disparity across the board, i think we could see the models significant underestimate congress

MMM Whatchya Say posted:So what's the Trump strategy right now? Go the full Ghomeshi route and claim a vast conspiracy of women are trying to take him down? Posture against the NYT in order to send a message to anyone else who might come forward, the to go after the individual accusers and threaten them with law suits that may bankrupt them if they don't retract their accusations. If they can get that it's almost as close to a retraction as they are likely to get. Meanwhile push the me against the world narrative and engage with his base to say that all of these women are liars, which is the strat they've already started pushing on news. Also apparently push out all of Bill's accusers on Hannity tomorrow morning to try and form up a false equivalency perhaps with the sprinkled addition of the implication of "if it isn't true why isn't Bill suing anyone" to try and muddy the waters. Pray to a god he pretends to believe in (who looks remarkably like himself) that nothing else comes out for the next month. Do more coke.

Start bumping that 45% into 51% and it's a loving waterfall.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:It genuinely seems like none of the GOP primary guys did any oppo on Trump, but I don't really understand how that can be true. Unless they all really truly thought he'd drop out on his own? They did oppo research. The Stern stuff was all known and had been used in primary campaign ads. The problem was that everybody just chalked it up to, "Well it's Howard Stern and Trump's a crazy media figure." So they weren't able to make any of it stick. His family and close allies all assured us Donald Trump was an upstanding man in his private life. Alicia Machado standing up to Trump and then that Access Hollywood tape coming out where he gives away his M.O. really changed everything. The women felt like a) maybe it was finally okay to speak out against Trump and b) they might actually be believed now that Trump is on tape admitting to it. Until those 2 events happened there was no indication that women coming forward wouldn't be publicly destroyed and humiliated. So his victims didn't feel like it was possible for them to do anything. I actually think this is still a really troubling sign for our society. The only thing that could bring down a monster like Trump was the words of Trump himself. Media didn't take seriously any of his accusers before that. When they actually started looking for his victims, it turns out nearly every major publication was able to find a different victim. They all released tonight because they didn't want to have been scooped on the Trump sexual assault stories. Turns out the "woman accuses Trump of sexual assault" story was so big it almost requires data journalism. ErIog fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Oct 13, 2016 |

The electoral signals that you're in trouble don't trickle in the way they should, gerrymandering causes them to all go at once. Suddenly you've gone from status quo to hemorrhaging and unable to recover.

If they can get that it's almost as close to a retraction as they are likely to get. Also, attack the character of the women in as ugly a way as possible. Already one woman who came forward is being accused of alcoholism and child endangerment by various deplorables. I have no idea whether it's true or not but I know it will be repeated as gospel by the Borg.
