Clinton has been involved in politics basically her entire life and probably has a pretty good idea of when the best time to attack trumps weak point for maximum damage is

iospace posted:On rare occasions, the old guy afternoon regulars at my work will complain that whites aren't going to be the majority anymore, only a plurality. Usually if they complain about non-white people, it's usually China "taking over the world". I can't really blame them for thinking that because the media has been feeding everyone the "When China Rules the World" narrative for like a decade now despite it being false

Lightning Knight posted:I thought it had shifted to the BRICs - Brazil, Russia, India, China. The BRICS are dead, and there are honest questions now as to if they were ever even alive Also if you were ever pining for days when Putin or the CCP can check US power you have no idea how good it is that you ended up being wrong. Hodgepodge posted:Before that, it was Japan. It's the international politics version of car crash stories; some scary other is always going to rule the world because modernizing economies grow really quickly. But 1.3 billion people!

Ironically the best performing economy in the world right now is the USA, yet everyone acts like its in decline.

Raenir Salazar posted:It's about relative comparisons, if you read Paul Kenndy it's more a function about how the US stands relative to it's peers in terms of capability and dozens of other indications of geopolitical soft and hard power. The US isn't in decline though, I would even argue that its "relative" decline has been overblown as gently caress. Comparisons to the British Empire aren't particularly apt.

Josef bugman posted:Oh and earlier, when people were talking about the whole situation in the BRICS countries? Could the fact that they are suffering kind of impact the world economy considering how integrated we are all supposed to be? Lots of people are going to lose their shirts if they made investments that presumed the BRICS were going to rule the world, but they are still not particularly well integrated into the global economy. The Chinese stock market shat the bed a year ago and Western markets ended up being fine. The biggest impact of the decline of the BRICS is that there just isn't any major global growth anymore unless you believe China's fabricated GDP numbers.

Crowsbeak posted:Wasn't his first ad literally saying he would destroy Isis and take their oil. That was one of the more surreal moments in politics ever. It was that moment where we all realized yes, this is a thing that is actually happening, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

DICKS FOR DINNER posted:Using PEC's map, she has 273 EVs between just safe and likely dem states, so even if she lost everything classified as leaning dem (NC, AZ, NV) and toss-ups (IA, GA, FL) she'd still win. Plus, the most recent polls are reflecting the absolute peak of the media beating the drum over the e-mails/Clinton Foundation nonsense. And Trump absolutely did not get off scot free last night, his answers were nonsensical and offensive, and Lauer's getting raked over the coals for lobbing him softballs and allowing him to lie about everything completely unopposed. Thank you friend, this helps.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:At least basketofdeplorables is no longer trending. Took nearly 24 hours. Everyone was worried when she apologized but you have to remember that the kinds of people who would take the "racist deplorable" label and pin it to themselves as a badge of honor also think that everything she says is a lie. She managed pull back so that the sane republicans consider themselves "one of the good ones" while the dipshits keep dipshitting.

bowser posted:With that one action she could put to bed any health conspiracies for moderate (non-crazy) people, garner sympathy, and humanize herself quite a bit. Yeah people need to remember that one of Clinton's problems is that she appears as an aloof policy wonk and there are few things more humanizing than getting sick.

woke wedding drone posted:It might have given her an excuse to skip the memorial and rest, which however much the media obsessed about it probably would have looked better than her stumbling and wobbling in public. In an alternate dimension we have torrents of articles speculating on the REAL reason Hillary missed the 9/11 memorial and that pneumonia isn't a big deal and if she can't tough it out for our freedoms how can she be president?
