He decided he'd rather be associated with Hitler's speaking style than Orval Faubus which, now that I think about it, kind of makes sense.

I would so not be surprised to learn that a chunk of donald's reddit userbase is just russian plants. Like not that it's started or moderated by russia, just that there are some russians in the userbase trying to keep them stirred up.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Who's consensus? Everyone I talk to thinks racism is bad, everyone on my facebook thinks racism is bad, the tv pays lip service to the idea you should say racist things as a decorum thing even if they don't go to saying racism is bad except in the most bland definitions. But in a lot of ways that is a bubble and a lot of Americas flat out think 'racism is good" is a good opinion. full stop. My aunt thinks she's not racist because that's a horrible thing to be, but she did declare she flat-out hates muslims because they "need to get a brain" and they've all got "ulterior motives" (some of my family branches need to be sawed off). But in her mind that's not racist, that's just a hard fact. An unfortunate fact, and poor muslim people for being so misguided, but she goes to church and her neighbors say she's a lovely kind woman, so she's not a racist. Lots of people who declare how much they hate racism are rationalizing away how loving racist they personally are. Because racism is what BAD people are, and they're not BAD people, therefore they cannot be racist, no matter how awful their opinions.

Many of my own in laws immigrated to the US and became naturalized citizens, not to mention their own kids growing up seeing how badly their parents were treated. I think Ms. Machado is going to be in the spotlight for a while longer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ZM58O_gBo It helps that she's still pretty nice to look at. It also helps that the Donald can't keep his big trap shut about how disappointed he was in her gaining weight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a853LxPREg "... That didn't help at all!"

I'm wondering if Trump will be able to change his behavior for the next debates. His campaign team must be trying to come up with all sorts of ways to get him to prep and practice to try to get him to stay on some kind of coherent message.

I'm sure he was told repeadly before the debate "please for the love of God, do not interrupt Hillary, it will look awful" and in the first couple minutes he seemed to hold it together, but as soon as Hillary started talking about him, he couldn't help himself. I don't think he's capable of sticking to a script and not being a boorish rear end in a top hat when his ego's under assault.

His handlers are probably yelling "stop taking the bait" at him as we speak, but it won't matter a whit when he's up there by himself. -Trump is already in the process of convincing himself he did perfectly fine. If anything, the channers flooding online polls are helping to ensure he sticks with the same awful gameplan.

They can try, but I highly doubt it'll stick. He can sorta stay on message when talking to his base or answering softball questions from the press, but put him in a mixed environment and all bets are off, as the train wreck last night illustrated. I cannot wait for the town hall; seeing him repeatedly interrupt and insult Holt and Clinton was one thing, but doing the same thing to audience members is gonna look really, really bad.

Giving the moderator a mute button and enforcing the two minute per question would absolutely devastate his ability to answer questions, and it'd drive him angry enough to make some incredible outbursts. I think he gets a yes or no answer but doesn't want to say what he knows he has to say, so he rambles on for two minutes so he can get his thoughts together and then spit out the real answer at the last second.

Yeah you can actually see in his eyes that he's saying literally any words to buy time. He sounds like he's in a job interview and hadn't prepared for a single possible question. But when he does reach a point at the end it's still nonsensical.

A mute button could actually be a net win for him. He doesn't answer many of the questions anyways no matter how much time. A mute button would just shorten his pointless rambling and prevent him from talking over clinton. Both would be improvements. I say let him be the victim of his lack of self control.

I loved that move on her part. This guy is in love with his last name, it's TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP everything. Stamped on everything he owns, everything he makes, everything he buys. It's his brand and his identity and the focus of his entire ego-driven world. Calling him Donald repeatedly must've bugged him a ton. Supercar Gautier posted:-Trump is the worst at taking advice. His handlers are probably yelling "stop taking the bait" at him as we speak, but it won't matter a whit when he's up there by himself. I would legit not be at all shocked to find out after the next debate that they installed a remote shock device inside his clothes to give him a little jolt every time his advisors wanted him to stop talking or interrupting. He reminds me a of a kid I met when I was doing a library visit as Elsa once...I was reading a storybook to about 40 kids and their parents and this little girl in the front row kept interrupting the story by standing up right in my face and saying, "ACTUALLY! ACTUALLY" Then, when she had my attention, just saying whatever came to mind. "UM ACTUALLY! ACTUALLY!!...................I like toy trucks." "UM, ACTUALLY! ACTUALLY!! ACTUALLY!!...............................................I'm in first grade." She didn't have anything to say but by GOD, she was going to be the focus of attention and say something. Not her dad shushing her, the librarian holding her down by the arms to stop her standing up, OR her dad taking her out of the room for a stern talk stopped her in any way. Five minutes after a forced silence, she'd be right back at it. Last I saw of her, she was being carried out of the room bodily by dad, still yelling, "UM, ACTUALLY! ACTUALLY!!" at me as she went. Trump's debate performance reminded me of that so much that it was hard to watch without laughing.
