Instant Sunrise posted:in 1991, george hw bush had approval ratings in the 90's because of desert storm and the end of the cold war. no sane democrat was going to run against somebody who they thought was guaranteed to win reelection. So do all Bushes get a sky high approval rating courtesy of a Middle Eastern man that they proceed to piss away through their own innate shittery?

November 9th is going to be really good for me. I've really been stirring the Hillary pot at work trying to get Dems pumped up for her instead of the lesser evils bullshit. I'm definitely the minority though, I'll have 5-6 people all screaming at me about how I'm a commie or how she'll be in jail once trump is elected. All the while I'm just yelling "stronger together" and "ready for Hillary" just to piss them off. I'm gonna have to bring in a bucket to harvest all these tears once she wins.

Bring in a cake on Nov. 9th with "Victory" written on it. Then ask them if they would like a slice. Because that's the only way they're going to know how it tastes.~

Harton posted:Man I am ready for this to be over. I had an alt-right dude at work tell me today that trump is gonna win Minnesota because of school children. I'd like to think that if Clinton were polling as bad as trump that I would be honest with myself and be worried, but this thread is a bit of an echo chamber. Everybody I know voting for trump thinks I'm insane when I bring up polling and are convinced trump is gonna win. They've been at "Eva Braun swing dancing on the piano" levels of delusional coping mechanism for months. Nobody's going to hire Kellyanne ever again because a good mouthpiece still acknowledges reality no matter how grim. Lewandowski is probably going to get done like Jon Snow by the anchor desk on election night except everyone laughs at Davos when he asks about resurrection. All of the second-stringers will fall out of the spotlight like idiot moths having just singed their wings into ash on the flame. Trump's brand is so hosed they're taking the loving name off hotels. Trump himself is going to spend the next several months going from courtroom to courtroom having to answer for raping a child and grifting everyone from young to old. Reince is probably going to be found in a pool of his own vomit, mostly composed of Bailey's and Cheerios. If the GOP has anyone left with two sober goddamn neurons in their poo poo-filled skull they'd work on purging every last tea partier, every last freedom caucuser, and every last trump train passenger from the party and then cauterize the holes with molten salt. But they won't. They don't give a drat what winning the general is even like anymore because the primary is the highest level of competition in a gerrymandered system. They dug their own loving grave, knelt down, and executed themselves in the middle of the sticks with no assistance whatsoever. They told themselves stories about the rabbits for so long they didn't realize they were goddamn Lennie all along. It's for the best.

Dr.Zeppelin posted:Yes what I'm saying is he's happy that the "omg 28% of Rs voted Hillary" is out there because he knows some lovely pollsters have found that data, he doesn't personally believe it's true, and it's now being used to give false hope to the Dems while his boy cruises to re-election in the correct polling world No. You're disagreeing with me. That poll that said 28% of Rs voted for Hillary also has Rubio winning with 51% of the vote due to ticket splitting. I'm say the Rubio guy would be happy with all those things being true.

As I mentioned earlier, in my early 20's I was a full-blown Limbaugh-worshipping conservative who hated the Clintons for whatever reason my talk radio masters told me, and I was starting to get a bit aggressive about it until I somehow started to think maybe it was all bullshit and I was being lied to. (I grew up in southeast Kansas, so seriously, what chance did I really have to not be nuts?) The ability for people to rationalize insanity and terrible political positions is remarkable. So, I have some sympathy for right-wingers trapped in the echo chamber, especially if they were young and basically put there by their parents. Not a LOT of sympathy because they are voting for terrible poo poo to happen, but some. If you are a crazy-rear end moron after your 40th birthday though, then you are probably a lost cause. The cement seems to harden in middle age and its rare to see an older person realize and accept that almost every political belief they had was wrong.

Captain Invictus posted:What laws has Trump broken during his campaign that nobody has really bothered to punish him for? I recall folks mentioning certain harassment(?) laws he was violating with some of his declarations, that sort of thing. I'm just curious, was talking to an online associate who's voting for trump and he's mentioned that Hillary should be in jail for the stuff in the emails, but if that were the case they'd have nailed her to the wall already. He admitted to quid pro quo corruption debate one question one. Edit when asked why he donated and why so many politicians attended his wedding he said outright his donations were part of a pay to play scheme; and he paid.

I'll waste my morning watching the returns on AFN though and I'll probably will have a few bourbons Wednesday night assuming everything goes well but we don't get days off. We've joked about converting to pirate ship and just staying out here if things go wrong. Maybe half joked. Either way, plenty of work to do.
