If Trump somehow ends up on TV with the likes of Oliver or Stewart, you know this is going to happen. "Agrabah vs Durotar, what are your views on this important but troubled international border?"

"Prince Ali - Fabulious He - Ali-Al-Bobwa is rumored to have committed genocide on the local sand people tribes. Yet we still value him as a key US favoring ally in our War on Terror. Mr. Trump, should we continue to maintain that relationship, even when this threatens to lose support from Emperor Ganishka of the Nation of Kush and Princess Yum-Yum of Golden City, also key allies in the Middle East against ISIS?"

Oh the white socialists and accelerationists have certainly tried to make Hillary taking the Dem crown somehow into something worse than Trump taking the Presidency.

What has to be going through their heads as they chant "HATE WILL WIN" because I can't imagine a more disgusting and soul crushing moment than that.

They have to be thinking "I am on the side of hate and I want to be there." At least the racists usually pretend it isn't hate but fear or tradition or some poo poo. This is verbally affirming being on the side of hate.

Oh they loving can, the question is if the media has the balls to step away from their Truth is In the Middle bubble to take that initiative. And I'm afraid I have no faith in them doing it. It's too dangerous to go after and say an active republican candidate is a failure because that means Republicanism failed by picking a giant loving failure. And that's too great of a sacrifice for RWM, CNN, or most of this country to publicly make.

No I think we're in agreement. The media is painting the failure of Trump as separate from the Republican Party. The media narrative is that Trump is so far out the mainstream that this is an example of failing conservatism rather than conservatism failing. Way, rinse, repeat for Cruz in 2020.

Only problem is the same tactics that Trump used in the primary could be inflicted on Cruz again because he's loving Zodiac Killer. So they'll be chastising a gigantic turd ahead of time, way before than after abandoning Romney after he lost and retreaded from the public/politics for a while, to set up game plans for maybe Cruz and no one else at this point 4 years down the line. Good luck hoping the Trumpeters will like this framework being said before he loses the election, RWM!

EDIT: Mostly because Trump was already ahead of the game laying down his "THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED" contingency before the media finally started biting him for once. These two narratives cannot mix, especially when one makes the other look more accurate as the media actually dog piles on him gaffe after gaffe.

Because there are people that will hold the line because attacking Trump is attacking Conservatism. Especially when the results of Trump losing is President Hilldog. The Right has backed itself into a corner it seemingly can't get out without cutting something off. And that's either possibly a lot of Trumpist flesh to save Conservatism or the Masquerade of Conservatism Cannot Fail in standing by Trump until he fails/rage quits.

I don't understand what point or reason there is for Fox to outsource their polling (or do any polling at all, rather than just make up numbers). The people watching FOX will neither fact-check nor care if they are inaccurate, and having the only reliable voters for your candidate hearing he is down 10 isn't going to motivate them.

But it will slight them against Fox the more they aren't pure of conservative ideology enough and god do I want to see that linger even if Trump loses, but his "I WAS CHEATED BY MY OWN SIDE" message sticks.

Because they had already been jacking off to Putin well before this election was underway for him to really need any collateral to hold the Right to work with him in any way. This isn't even a cohesive clandestine affair. This is Putin utilizing accelorationists and know-nothing Alt-right and aging Tea Baggers by letting them be loud and stupid while he lets Wikileaks be the anti-US hackers they love to be at this point.

It doesn't help that the people who still cling to 9/11 as a tool of war can't even remember how it happened right now because it has been replaced by Mr. Ben Ghazi. It's probably faded faster from real public care than Pearl Harbor or the Alamo. But the hate will probably still be an indicator, if my Japanese hating neighbor proves anything.

The cut-off will be those who actually have a signified moment when they hated Muslims, those who were simply told to always hate them and then those who can't even remember when 9/11 was because that was loving middle-school American History, dude.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-campaign-rent_us_57bba424e4b03d51368a82b9?o9ix30du10s5rk9

TL:DR Trump jacked the rent of his campaign office in his own Trump tower 4x higher(to almost 170k/month from 35k/month back in March), once the rent was being paid by donor money. Basically pocketing donations.

I'm not shocked. I'd be shocked if this goes anywhere. I mean HILLARY'S EMAILS OMG

edit: It's nearly 5 times higher actually. 35k*5 = 175,000.

There's been a lot of talk about the Clinton strategy to try to wedge off GOP voters by saying that Trump represents a fringe position not in line with American (read:GOP) values rather than trying to connect the insane racist alt-right to the whole party. The first one is certainly safer, if a lot less fun.

Well its still a problem for the right either way because the Alt is their lifeline. Its The Fruit of the Tea Bagger Tree come to bear a whole new generation of open believers in the messaging behind their dog whistles, only they don't hide what they really mean. If they GOP tries to disavow them, especially under Hilldog's claims, they're severing ties with them by showing the GOP really is the big government establishment they hate. America has a goldfish's memory when it comes to actions and facts, but they sure as poo poo can hold a grudge from feelings. And if Hillary manages to be the reason why the GOP turns on the Alt, well they were already screaming RINO and their weird sexual fantasies about them before. It could be an even bigger schism if the establishment actually heeds the words of a democrat, let along Mrs. Clinton herself.
