The increased number of dudes wearing tanktops might be the worst fashion trend of this decade, and believe me there is some stiff loving competition in that category. They look terrible on just about anyone who tries to wear them, outside of like pro athletes.

I don't know what it is but every time I look at him, his mouth looks like it's just a little too wide. Like someone was trying to go Heath Ledger Joker on him but only got a second or two in. It's really bad on his Twitter picture.

Out of everything I've seen while lurking this thread, this is what's bugged me the most.

I'm surprised that a Flint native thinks that Michigan will go red in 2016, after what Gov. Snyder has done to the state and especially to Moore's hometown. The only way I see it happening is if Snyder if forced out of office by then (a recall against him was recently approved) and the state's hunger for Republican blood is sated. But stranger things have happened in this election cycle and what the gently caress do I know

The Snyder recall failed due to the unions refusing to get on board. Talked to the MEA rep for my area a few weeks ago and she said Snyder is the lesser of two evils, because if he goes Calley will take his place and he's tea party.

The funniest thing about this whole race that doesn't get talked about enough is that, while Hillary has probably had this election circled on her calendar since dropping out in '08, Trump's campaign has been labeled as the following at different points in the last year-

A Clinton plant job
A Russian plant job
Retaliation because some journalists and politicians dunked on him once
A bet with his main opponent's husband
A brand/name recognition expansion that's spiraled out of control

Did I miss any?

Valid, but I filed that under "name/brand recognition". That does bring up something I hadn't thought about before though- if Trump does become president, what level of control would he have to give up in regards to his various businesses?

The Jags play in a stadium built to host the Florida-Georgia game.

They wouldn't need tarps if they had a stadium the size of the Colt's stadium.

I always laugh at the lazy national sports writer hacks who bring up Jacksonville every time they talked about teams potentially moving to LA.

It's a city of 1,000,000+ that is growing and located right in the heart of football country.

That town is nuts for the Jags. Gator football and Jaguar football are like 95% of all sports discussion all year long. Florida State not so much, but we're talking crappy ACC fans. A gal I dated in the 90s father sold sports memorabilia for a living. Gators sell win or lose, FSU only sells when they win.

The Jags are safe from LA relocation for now, since the Rams took that bullet earlier this year :eng101: Also they're owned by a native of Pakistan.

Am I crazy to think that, if he loses this year, Trump would attempt another run against Hillary in 2020 (whether it be by conning the Republican party again or the independent campaign he was threatening several months ago)?

Unless this really was just a brand-building exercise I can't see him letting a loss go unavenged or whatever.

The nuke thing makes the tiniest bit of sense if you think about how business suits ask questions like "if we're spending all this money on _______, then why aren't we using it?" Which is a fine question to ask about that new printer or the document retention system you spent a year implementing, but not a nuclear warhead.

It's a scary thing for him to even suggest but it also speaks to the "I'd run this country like a business" theme that sometimes comes up.

Way late (gently caress this thread moves fast), but what are the odds that the GOPe asked Fox to fudge these numbers to make Trump look even worse and give fuel to the camp that wants to dump him?

E: I mean they probably still have a Hillary lead but maybe it's like 9.2% in truth but "double-digit Hillary lead" looks way worse even if it's < 1% off the actual number.
