"Donald Trump, after your loss take yo, lyin, loud mouth, orange oompa loompa ass to Russia cuz you're not welcome here"
What happened in Flint is so fucking messed up and makes me angry.
Aww yeah. Trump better be scared.
I want you to want me.
It's Wednesday night raw time! Can you smell, what Jesse Jackson is cooking?

"I waaaaanttt yoouuu to loooove meeeee, I need youuuu to neeeee meet"?
^ Dammit beaten while I was typing it out.
Perhaps we should be scared. The last time Obama called Trump out, Trump decided to run for president. I suspect Trump might call for an American Empire next.
Stupid much son? Or just trolling?

Karen Weaver looks young. I can't find her age online. First female mayor of Flint, has a doctorate, and is getting national exposure. Any chance she'll move on to run for a Rep or Senate seat in Michigan?
Needs to brush up on her public speaking maybe, but to be fair, this is a huge jump from your usual mayoral speeches.

I can't believe no one in the state government got punished for Flint.

Btw, I'm pretty sure the "Trump Russia hacking" topic is getting more posts per minute than this one.
Trump really is playing chess.

With the deep black/white divide in Michigan because of Detroit, a black woman winning a statewide election is a tough road.

Fracking? What? It was caused by Snyder appointing an emergency manager to Flint (against how the people of Michigan voted, forcing a bill through the state legislature to override the vote) who then disconnected Flint from the Detroit city water supply and instead forced them to get their water from an alternative source that everyone knew wasn't safe and wouldn't be able to handle the increased demand from having to supply water for the entire city of Flint and would be very likely to cause these type of problems and surprise, surprise we wound up with what happened in Flint. Hillary has nothing to do with this. This is all on Snyder and his croneys, along with the Republican state legislature. Full stop.

Because nothing particularly interesting is going on in here. Wait till big speakers get on. Also bad press when you're running for president isn't exactly good. He's pushing more people away even with his own party.
He's playing it poorly. All publicity is not good publicity.
Where did you get this kind of completely baseless information? Like lead in water caused by fracking? Really?

Will probably be on suicide watch if he loses. He's going to have a new one torn from all sides if and when he loses.Oof.
You'll save us, right Captain??Eh, he's thin skinned. He won't take it well.
No, he's playing checkers. Everyone else is playing chess.
Pretty sure Trump is in his perch somewhere browsing GAF saying "Good, goooood, let the hate flow through you."
It's a majority black city, so... not really shocking unfortunately. :/
Probably a dank Facebook meme.

Anybody else a little concerned that we're taking too long to address white working class men issues? Mainly manufacturing and jobs in general.
I'm ecstatic that we're focusing on minorities but white men are still an extremely large demographic and the one that's keeping Trump close in the rust belt.
I hope Joe Biden and Kaine kill it tonight.
Edit: Van Jones mentioned something similar and I'm inclined to agree with him.

And even if it were true, it would be completely irrelevant, since it was still Rick Snyder who made that a problem to begin with.
Did Hillary force Flint to have an Emergency Manger, against the wishes of the sate? No, that was Snyder.
Did Hillary force the emergency manager to take Flint off the Detroit-city water supply and instead connect it to an alternative water supply that couldn't handle the demand, leading to all types of erosion of the types and lead to leak in? No, again, the emergency manager... appointed by Snyder.
Unless we're going to accuse Rick Snyder of being a secret Clinton-lackey now, get out of here with that.
More Tic Tac Toe.

A lot of the things they're talking about are going to help everyone, not just minorities. Don't see why they need to address them directly.
Seriously. After we shut up the Bernie kids they've done an amazing job with the convention and I hope Hilary gets a huge bounce out of this.
