That closing statement, that's the best speech I've ever seen her give. It was relevant and heartfelt and lofty in a way I didn't think she was capable of.

:abuela: is not perfect, but she is cool, good, sincere, and qualified to the point that having Trump on stage with her as a competitor is frankly an insult

Also Dole knew he was going to lose and was okay with the GOP party apparatus going to support races downballot. Can you even imagine what Trump would do if the RNC asked him to give up staff/funds to support races in the House/Senate?

While it's been twenty years and I still had something of a child's view of politics back then, I recall him joining Gingritch and others on the stump quite hard, pushing for the downticket that ended up being the first major deadlock congress that'd come to define the modern era. Dole did at least give a poo poo about The Party, which is more than can be said for Trump.

Dole may have known he'd lose early thanks to Bill's popularity, but he knew how to handle that situation. Trump clearly doesn't.

Doing well in a high pressure social situation like that televised dinner requires a lot of mental quickness and skill. I'd argue it as close to a direct contest of ability between Trump and Hillary that we have seen, even more so then the debates. This is the Trump that would have been on display at G8 summits and Climate accords and UN meetings in the realities where he won. An absolute laughing stock to the rest of the world.

It won't go viral because it's not a thing the mainstream will give half a poo poo about. Especially when the story is that he was booed and nobody liked him at a goddamn charity dinner.

However, if it makes it into the FW:FW:FW: emails of the religious right it'll definitely hurt him. They're desperately lying to themselves that he's a massive piece of poo poo who just recently was redeemed, and is a baby Christian trying to learn to walk. It's what lets them get past the cognitive dissidence of moral hypocrisy in exchange for those promised Judges. But if the dumb gently caress can't even bow his head for a prayer while standing beside a Bishop at an event he knows is televised, that's going to wreck the narrative for a lot of people.

Yep, as I remember the Christian Right is pretty much entirely a product of the backlash to desegregation, which is why when you say "evangelical" you don't think the AME church on the other side of town or the Hispanic Catholic church down the road

If this were the primaries then maybe, but it's not so who cares.

I know the approved hot take on the religious right is that they're somehow unaware twice-divorced former-pro-choice-Democrat Howard Stern regular Donald Trump isn't a dyed-in-the-wool conservative Christian, but if you bother to actually talk with any "values voters," you'd realize that they're all well aware and pretty much only voting Trump because a non-right-leaning SCOTUS is their nightmare fuel.
