It's funny they flip out over Jade Helm, because I remember around 2000 I was part of an Army training unit that ran helicopter exercises flying all over the middle of Texas that included entire foreign squadrons of Apache Longbow attack choppers.  It was totally routine and unclassified NATO training poo poo, but I bet half the "BLACK UN CHOPPER" stories came from the swarms of helicopters flying at night over random cattle ranches and poo poo playing laser tag. e: For instance: http://kdhnews.com/fort_hood_herald...1a4bcf6878.html sean10mm fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jul 14, 2015 |

Yeah, Nixon was just a goddamn terrible human being, so it's hard to give him any credit for anything even though like half his domestic agenda would be called communist by the current republican field.

Nixon's "left-leaning" ideas were generally done to gently caress with Democrats by taking their popular ideas and claiming them as his own so he could dare them to vote against them while he put on a smug face. He basically had no principles of any kind and was just grubbing for more power and prestige all the time. Even his supposedly rabid purestrain anti-communism went out the window when it let him put on a big show of being smarter than everyone else (e.g. becoming bros with Chairman loving Mao.)

It's June, nobody will remember what happened come next month, and I bet the convention will be a huge reset button on his campaign. People said the same thing as soon as he had the nomination locked up, and he immediately doubled down on the crazy. There is no evidence that he will even try to pivot. Assuming he's even capable of doing so.

"Trump is losing big to Latinos in the polls, and we talked to some Latinos and they all hate Trump except for this one weird guy." "Well, that just shows the diversity of opinions, and you can't trust polls." "But Trump loves talking about polls, and the polls say he's gonna die. So..."  GOTCHA JOURNALISM

I'm kind of curious what Donald Trump's floor is with the electorate. He's transparently the most human garbage candidate put up by either party in living memory, but I get the impression that an old-school landslide where the winner gets 60%+ of the popular vote isn't even possible anymore.

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/hollybdc/status/743831455260782592 According to Wikipedia the biggest % of the popular vote ever was LBJ with 61%. The biggest margin ever was Harding with 26%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_by_popular_vote_margin This doesn't include pre-1824, but obviously we're not going to have George Washington-tier unanimity about anything ever again.

http://election.princeton.edu/todays-electoral-vote-histogram/ Trumps odds to win basically haven't moved in forever, in spite of the fluctuation in individual polls, because there is no realistic path through the EC for him. It's almost like it's not a real thing because everyone but old white people loving hate him and he can't create more of them out of thin air and deposit them all in Ohio and Florida.

mister magpie posted:Why would the GOP turn away from the demagogue who encompasses the views and ideals of their angry, white base? Because they want to be a broad-based party of 1) angry openly racist white men, 2) angry repressed racist white men who won't admit it to themselves, and 3) sheltered rich people who are in denial about the racist messaging so they can get tax cuts. Trump spoils the game by making it harder for 2) and 3) to maintain plausible deniability.

zen death robot posted:Exactly, if Trump loses then he gets to be the guy who stood up for "true conservative beliefs" and if not then nothing much changed and most of the party still hates him. It kinda boggles the mind that almost nobody else reached the same conclusion. You only need the most rudimentary level of rat-like cunning (which is all Cruz has) to realize that betting on Trump winning (which is what endorsing him is) is a sucker's bet.

Right now the Democrats are way more economically populist than the Republicans, and it has won them about 0% of the working class white racist vote, and almost all the not-white racist working class vote. Economic populism by itself doesn't do poo poo in America. It's just the sprinkles on the politicized race hate cake. Anybody looking at Trump and going "But for the racism he's on to something!" are comically missing the point, because if you take away the race hate and general craziness then Trump is never nominated in the first place.

Dan Rather posted:No trying-to-be objective and fair journalist, no citizen who cares about the country and its future can ignore what Donald Trump said today. When he suggested that "The Second Amendment People" can stop Hillary Clinton he crossed a line with dangerous potential. By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics. This is no longer about policy, civility, decency or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival. It is not just against the norms of American politics, it raises a serious question of whether it is against the law. If any other citizen had said this about a Presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating? Good stuff. zoux posted:How's the alt right handling the polls Unskew II: This Time It's True!
