Lol Trump legit picked up several points in the polls from this. So many people itching for an excuse to not vote for her. Absolutely terrible candidate.

Inauguration, he was ogling Melania or Ivanka's rear end iirc

I choose to believe that was the moment her dreams of becoming president finally died

He's avoiding making eye contact with her, actually looks like hes trying to keep her out of his field of view entirely.

Is he trying to avoid getting emotional on the day that marks the absolute end of his legacy? Or is he just so angry and embarassed at her failure that he cant even stand to look at her?

Like imagine getting the total softball of running against TRMPU and loving it up.

it's because republicans are willing to say and do the things that their base desires

yet for some reason democrats won't do that, it's quite strange

Its cause the R base wants racism, which isnt what the donor class cares about, but isnt in opposition to it either. The D base is pretty much directly opposed to the donor class. D establishment views their job as doing the minimum leftism necessary to stave off mass unrest/revolution. They are servants of the donor class, working to protect the donor class from their own worst excesses.

I'm not certain Hillary would've lost to any other Republican in 2016.

But I'm certain she'd lose to Turbohitler as the Republican nominee in 2020

She would've beat Carson and Jeb, but just about anybody else would have crushed her. I really think Rubio especially would have beaten her by like ten points.


Has there ever been a finance/expectation to results differential like we saw with JEB! before?

In the defense of people who were tricked, including myself, he did a genuinely incredible job on the impersonation. There were a bunch of google Ron Paul types on the forums at the time, and the hardcore Paulites were basically all conspiracy theorists, so he was very believable.

that time when the entire 2012 republican primary was each candidate having a week of frontrunner status because nobody really wanted romney as their candidate, and then each candidate imploding when the media bothered to pay attention to them for that one week until only romney was left



in order that's, I think, Romney, Perry, Romney, Cain, Romney, Gingrich, Romney, Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, Romney


After the first 2016 Republican debate, the only person to beat Trump in the polls was Ben Carson, who stood up to roughly three days of scrutiny.

Theres a chunk of the black dem vote thats just "folks who would gladly be republicans if it weren't for all the white supremacy", and homophobia probably would've hurt mayo pete there... if he had any support among the black vote in the first place. Instead, he had a terrible reputation with the community from his time as mayor and then made no attempt to appeal to them as a candidate.

His run was always really a shot at like, DNC head or secstate, etc.

Yeah, Bernie was banking on the DNC being as ineffectual as the RNC was in 2016, and they weren't.

The "funny" politics poo poo i remember was a few weeks after Super Tuesday when there were multiple reports of bad blood inside the Bernie campaign between Nina Turner and others because campaign leadership apparently had zero plans on how to win over black dem voters specifically. Which yeah, in hindsight, seems a bit obvious.

Looking forward to hopefully getting a chance to vote Turner in 2024. Either in the primary, or the general.

Compared to, like, other presidents? Lol

I think prior to Covid it was easy to argue that Trump was no worse than the rest of the modern US presidents, he just has the mask off.

I find that argument harder to swallow in the last 6 months, though. Its hard to imagine anyone else bungling the covid response as bad as he has, for as long as he has. Regardless of malice, other US presidents had better self-preservation instincts, and would've been more effective out of the simple urge to stay in power. If Trump loses in November, its 100% going to be because he got a quarter million Americans killed by being an incredible dumbshit.

Reagan sat on his hands about AIDS, but AIDS wasnt killing people this fast, and, importantly, AIDS wasnt killing folks who were likely to vote Reagan.

like yeah maybe chuds wouldn't be drinking bleach from that dumbass press conference, but the response would've still absolutely been politicized and insufficient because an "early" shutdown was not in the short term interest of the private sector


trump is not uniquely terrible and people unironically using terms like "mango shitgibbon" clearly weren't paying attention since at least 9/11

Williingness to wear masks spiked substantially in right wingers when he finally wore one. He's especially bad for this moment in time. Bush is obviously worse overall (give trump 4 more years like joey joe joe junior shabadoo biden wants to, and we'll see the body count comparison)
