Then you raise "Ritchie's" profile. Run Eminem against him. Have all of his campaign ads be 30 second music video diss tracks.

Bhaal posted:poo poo I just remembered there's a part in The Thick of It where a new cabinet member makes some goof and is worried she's going to get fired. Malcom Tucker reassures her that it won't happen because if the PM fires a cabinet member 2 weeks after he appointed her, it will look like his gently caress up, not hers. Yeah, I've been rewatching The Thick of It lately in part to briefly visit a world where politics makes some kind of sense.

Fat Twitter Man posted:The Economist is extremely biased but still a top notch news source. Good reporting doesn't have to be neutral. Not to mention that the Economist owns up to its own bias at every opportunity. This, to me, makes it trustworthy. Some sort of quantitative rating of the concept of "trustworthy" seems sorta ridiculous to me. Yes, I know that graph is basically just a popular opinion graph.

Covok posted:Dude accidentally started an AIDs epidemic because he thought that banning condoms would stop teenagers from having sex. While I doubt it was intentional, I wouldn't exactly call it an accident. Spreading AIDS isn't necessarily a bad thing in fundamentalist circles and Pence would probably support such a policy as long as it was politically viable. See right wing opposition to the HPV vaccine http://www.npr.org/2011/09/19/140543977/hpv-vaccine-the-science-behind-the-controversy Overwined posted:Not to mention that the Economist owns up to its own bias at every opportunity.

The graph is essentially name recognition combined with inoffensiveness. These factors can interplay of course, and I suspect that the reason the Post does a bit better than the Times is because fewer conservatives know that they would hate the Post (or maybe they're mistaking it for that one moonie tabloid) Joe-Bob fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Aug 1, 2017 |

I only save 2. It's right there in the instructions, but also the right choice. Edit: I would have a hard time picking between 9 and 4. Kaepernick would at least carry his own weight, but hilldawg would likely faint getting all parties involved burned alive. Heck Yes! Loam! fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Aug 1, 2017 |

Considering he'd be following the flaming horror circus of Trump he'd look very normal and would have any run of the mill "this could end a presidency" poo poo slide. He's also low key and not an attention craving attention golem like Trump, so he could actually go dark and hope things blow over if need be.

Lightning Lord posted:The problem is KIIIIIIIIID ROCK will campaign as a populist that stands for working class values and the opposite of Washington hijinks, but will most likely govern as an empty suit GOP rubberstamp. I do wonder how the party would react if one of these populists every tried to actually govern as a populist instead of turning heel immediately. It's unlikely to ever come up, but it's so outside their experience I wonder how they would process it.
