I don't see how this really hurts Trump in the long term. If people keep harping on it then just fire the guy. Only one guy to fire and it goes away, if if even gets that far in the first place.

So regardless of what happens in November, what does everyone think of the prediction that "Trump Republicans" become a real thing and we see people running for congress under this label in 2018? I think if he gets the nomination there will be at least a few in the South. I think there will be more if Hillary wins than if Trump wins.

Nichael posted:Probably! If you actually look at the policy proposals he's published, they're nearly identical to boilerplate GOP candidate proposals. The only difference between him and the rest of the party is that he wants to build a useless wall, and he openly courts white supremacists instead of covertly. What groups and what real reason is there to believe this? As of now I see no reason to believe that any of Trump's more extreme policies will ever be enacted, and "causing harm to already oppressed groups" just sounds like knee jerk liberal hyperbole that we hear everyday. Stuff like this is the same type of fear-mongering that the right does. You sound like a liberal Glenn Beck with this poo poo.

It's starting to become difficult to come up with a scenario where this election isn't already over. I don't think horrible Hillary gaffes or even multiple terror attacks would be enough. Only thing I can think of is a serious health scare from Hillary and even then Trump still probably wouldn't win against Kaine or whoever. I'm interested to see how will the media react if they start thinking that most of their audience also sees the race this way. Obama started to look pretty much inevitable in 08 but that wasn't until late October and we still have 3 months to go. Back then towards the end there was a lot of Palin bashing but McCain was still shown a lot of respect. It's starting to feel like some of these talking heads are soon going to drop the horse race pretense and move onto some other narrative. The GOP civil war is already kind of old news. Will they start to show open contempt and ridicule for Trump? What about his supporters? That uncensored video wasn't really necessary. Imagine how much more footage like that they could capture if they wanted to.

zoux posted:Has Trump said or done anything racist vs black folks becide general anti-BLM stuff that everyone everywheres doing anyway? It's interesting that he polls so badly with them while Hispanic voters, whose heritage and history he's slandered constantly, are more likely to vote for him. I guess that's a testament to Hillary's ties to that constituency, I wonder how different the "are you voting for her or against him" is in the African American crosstab vs the population as a whole. He acted like he didn't know who David Duke was in that one interview, I think that was big. Retweeting alt-righters as well but Duke is literal KKK and he just acted really annoyed when they asked him to to disavow his support. I don't think there are too many blacks willing to overlook that.

It probably is true that Hillary's health isn't tip-top right now. Blood clot in the brain is no small matter even with a full recovery. Seriously doubt it is bad enough for her to become incapacitated or withdraw though. I do think it's possible that she won't run for reelection in 2020 because of health reasons. She's really old now. Look at how much the presidency ages people.

the trump tutelage posted:Remember when DWS had to step down as DNC chair because of her unethical behaviour and then Hillary immediately hired her onto her campaign as a big "gently caress You" to the electorate? The media doesn't. I think DWS must have a map to where the bodies are buried or something. Even Obama himself was wary of openly going up against her. She got removed as chair and everything but I think she's somehow bulletproof in a way that we won't find out for a long time.

Squizzle posted:i thought that NC going for Obama was just an '08 wave event, not a realignment. but with loving Georgia and Arizona opening up as potential swing states this time, i have to let myself feel some hope that a major shift has truly been happening in the country. i think this feeling is...happiness?! The only thing that makes it a realignment is the fact that a "Generic Republican" will find a hard time winning the nomination. If Cruz or Kasich or Romney had made it to the general I doubt that those states would be in play. Maybe NC but not loving Arizona. The main thing that's changed is an unelectable candidate winning the nomination.

beergod posted:What does everyone think Trump's mentioning of Utah (having big, big problems in Utah) means? I feel like he somehow doesn't understand how this all works, or he's absolutely convinced he's going to win the major swing states he absolutely has to win. It just seemed like a bizarre statement (not unusual from him obv.) and I feel like maybe it gives an insight into his understanding of the whole process. The crowds in Utah are probably not as large as in other states. Trump judges how he is doing by the size of the crowds. The poll are all rigged for Crooked Hillary.

As much as I hate to say that Trump is right about something, CNN is pretty much blatantly anti-Trump all day every day. Of course he deserves it, but I don't remember ever seeing this level of obvious negative bias against anyone except for Obama and FOX. Sarah Palin got it pretty bad but it was way less intense than this. Right now CNN is running against Trump like FOX was running against Obama in 08.

Slate Action posted:Are you now, or have you even been, a member of the Republican Party God drat. Suddenly realizing how serious this is. Won't there have to be some kind of congressional hearing over this? - Multi million dollar direct link between Trump's campaign head and the former president of a foreign government (who was opposed under US policy) is discovered. - GOP platform includes surprise pro-Russia policy change during Trump's formal nomination. - Trump publicly (sarcastically) asks Russia to hack Hillary's emails. - Scope of Russia based cyber attack on the Democratic party seems to be growing every day, they hacked the whole party. I mean, if this were the Reagan of Bush years there would be a major congressional investigation and public hearing over this without question. Everybody involved would have to testify or face charges. Office of the Special Prosecutor, the whole nine yards. What do think Obama is going to do?

They have to, all of this this is strong, more than circumstantial evidence of foreign interference in our presidential election.

How is this not a National Security emergency, just because Trump doesn't currently hold office?

Lum_ posted:Why did Obama not give a speech in Mubarak's Egypt about how awful Islam is to women and gays and funding terror. Not true. The Iraqi PM would have accepted anything Obama wanted and implemented it unilaterlaly. Obama added the condition that the Iraqi Parliment having to approve the agreement, likely because he didn't really want an agreement to materialize. Watch the PBS documentary and hear his only people describing it this way.

He's pointing out specific policy missteps instead of just railing against muslims. Obama hasn't done everything right in foreign policy. Most people don't want to see the type of immigration that Germany has seen over the last two years into this country and believe that Merkel is making a huge mistake. He's tying Muslim extremist intolerance to the broader intolerance towards gays that is viewed negatively by a majority of americans. He wasn't clearly explaining his policy positions like this during the primaries.

Ze Pollack posted:it is important to recognize breaklaw was 100% down with Trump before he figured out that Trump wasn't just appealing to racists for shits and giggles courtesy of the judge incident. I never supported Trump as Trump. I supported him as someone from outside the Washington power establishment who would be able to refuse demands from power brokers and special interests. This was back before he proved to me and everyone else that he is actually not very intelligent and quite possibly mentally ill. And there is nothing racist about promoting meritocracy as a part of a path to a fairer society.

I thought he was taking extreme positions on immigration to appeal to the Republican base for the primary and that he would soften and ultimately abandon those positions in the general election. I never thought he would be stupid enough to actually keep pressing for that nonsense this long or that he actually believed in it. It made sense at the time. I thought he actually wanted to win.
