FairGame posted:No, I totally understand what she's trying to say. But why would you say it that way? Watch the video, it makes a bit more sense if you do. I get what she meant to say-- quote:But if that’s all that happens, we’ll be back here in 10 years having the same conversation. We will not have all of the changes that you deserve to see happen in your lifetime. [End clause.] [These changes that you deserve to see happen in your lifetime] because of your willingness to get out there and talk about this. i.e. you deserve to see these changes because you're speaking out. It's just a bit clumsy because she's speaking off the cuff. Edit: obviously the sentiment is a bit off, but it's not like apocalyptically lovely or anything IMO.

TheDisreputableDog posted:Keep minimizing and defending this bullshit, her approvals haven't gone from 60s to 30s because of Fox News viewers. It's almost like approval rating is largely tied to whether someone is running for office as a partisan and how visible that person is within that context! Also her approval is more like 40%

One big thing about this poll, which I initially missed, is that Trump is now leading as 1st and 2nd choice amongst likely Republican voters. Meaning the traditional wisdom that support will consolidate primarily behind someone else once other candidates drop out is perhaps questionable? PS Trump unfavorability is 59% wrap it up Trumpailures.

Narciss posted:Are you being serious? Google "Europe immigration crisis" or some variation thereof and you'll find plenty of news on this, most of it not from Breitbart or Freep. Thanks, I live in France, so I got a pretty good sense of what's going on. My disagreement is: I don't believe that the proper response is to shut down the borders everywhere and deport everyone. The primary impacts of this crisis appear to be (1) immense misery amongst the migrant population and (2) a boom in the political fortunes of anti-immigrant political parties. I've seen very little negative impact on the countries through which this immigration is occurring.

Patter Song posted:Is it just me or is Marco Rubio shockingly anonymous for the odds-on favorite to win the nomination? I think Joementum has relayed a theory that Rubio may have some horrible skeletons in his closet that the GOP establishment is aware of but which have not broken into the outside world yet. The evidence for this is something about funding and also that he was vetted but not selected for veep in 2012. Someone else probably knows more.

Josh Marshall makes a point I think about a lot--what levers does the GOP establishment* really have to pull to slam on the brakes?Josh Marshall posted:A lot of people seem to think there's such a thing as the "GOP establishment" which is or can come in and shut Trump down to avoid a catastrophe in the general election. What exactly about the fall or Eric Cantor, John Boehner or the last 4 or 5 government shutdown dramas makes people think such a thing exists or exists with anything remotely like the size and power to do something like that escapes me. As I said, I think Trump now has a path to the nomination. He probably won't win Iowa. But he could well win New Hampshire. And if he does, he has in place a large enough and persistent enough national lead that he could do it. * and does that really exist as a coherent body?

For the record, I fully support a reinvestigation of those claims, and gently caress Bill Clinton forever if he's a rapist. Sorry that I was like 13 at the time Broaddrick made her initial allegations and I wasn't demonstrating against President Rapist. It turns out that Hillary Clinton is not the accused rapist here. I'm not really sure why anyone views this as some devastating attack against her campaign. I realize there's this fever dream that she conspired to cover it up or something; alternately, she may not have wanted to believe her husband was a rapist.

The National Review is getting pretty fractured over the Palin/Trump alliance. David French quote:perhaps we should consider that the combination of her personal relationship with Trump, her personal experience suffering from years of the most vicious and personal attacks directed at any current or former politician in the United States, and her deep convictions regarding policy priorities for the next president have led her to this decision Charles Cooke quote:And so it has come to pass. Like Palin, Trump has mastered the art of the interminable ramble, the purpose of which is not to convey meaning or to advance a useful argument but to stun the audience into dumb submission. Like Palin, Trump has embraced his ignorance and wielded it as a sign of strength and normality against the ever-protean “elite.” And, like Palin, Trump has betrayed his desire to fix the political system not by mastering or replacing it, but by becoming it. This isn’t an insurgency, it’s a shakedown. And the conmen are moving in packs.
