The trick with Keepin' It 1600 is they're not journalists. They're former Democrat campaign staffers and they don't really hide their biases. What you get from Keepin' It 1600 occasionally is a real inside baseball look at campaigning, delivered through the current presidential race.

Indeed. It's fun hearing about the other stuff that happened on the campaign in 08 and '12; as well as some '04 stuff.

It possibly can, but under certain conditions very good GOTV from the Democrats, better favorbility for Hillary, and popular Democrats like Bernie and Obama stumping for Hillary heavily and succeeding in getting some demographics out to vote for Hillary. Some have a realistic of happening.

Best chance of this is if Trump says something completely batshit insane even by his inflated standards. I would be really surprised if we come even close to the GOTV levels from 2012 - would be a win for the data operation we have going if anything.

I really don't like the 2 matt lauer emails i've gotten from clinton.

I don't like mirroring the right's attack the media stuff. I don't want dems retreating to echo chambers already more than they have.

Ieave that to surrogates don't have hillary do it.

We've already sort of hit our echo chambers, just some of them are more mainstream than others.

Ya'll wanna know why I make interesting drink combinations? A case study.

My bf is going on a bachelor party weekend to Cbus to...well drink a lot but also to see Ohio State play. His friends came over and told me "You know we're taking him to a strip club right?" Which, I literally couldn't care less if he goes to a gay strip club let alone a straight one.

But, my mom is listening to this whole thing.

Mom: Wait, you boys are going to a strip club?
Colt (my bf): Uh, ya, that's what they tell me.
Mom: You got money?
Colt: Sorry?
Mom: You got money? Cash. Them girls like cash.
Colt; I don't think I really need--
Mom: What if one of them girls has nice ta-tas and you don't have cash?
: queue up my bf's friends trying not to lose their shit :
Mom: Get me my purse. Adam? Get me my purse. (Which still has a fucking Hillary bumpersticker safety pinned to it, fyi)

She proceeds to open her purse and pull out a wad of $1 bills bigger than my fist.

Me: Where in the hell did you get all those ones?
Mom: I got them when MaryLou (90 year old neighbor!) and I went to the drag queens. Only a few had p-ssys that were on fire, so I had a lot left.

: shoves the wad of Dollar bills into my bfs hand :

Mom: Here you go, sweetheart. Share it with your little friends. You boys have fun.

Your mom is the best and sort of reminds me of my mother (except my mom is pretty conservative about that kind of stuff; but pretty open about other similarly embarrassing things)

You need to Twitter this shit so CBS gives you a sitcom.

Seconded.

What is Hillary doing here, it's sounds really good. Do this!

https://twitter.com/ThisWeekABC/status/774359649537576960

That was good, very good.

And what's with her voice? It's lower. She sounds good, and maybe that cough forced her to a lower tone.

 

[Oriel]

Damn that was a good presser by Clinton a short while ago. Came across very well. The fact that she sounded quite subdued and quiet will no doubt be spun into some health story by the altie trash mind you.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

You need to Twitter this shit so CBS gives you a sitcom.

Seriously, this is fucking amazing.

 

[whyamihere]

Hillary, guess what -- one of the coolest things about talking to the press a lot is that eventually they stop asking you about emails and asking you about policy and -- GUESS WHAT -- you're really, really good when it comes to policy and you sound great!

ALSO LOL Kellyanne Conway getting dragged on CBS. Real fucking journalism: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/campaign-manager-defends-trump-on-iraq-war-putin-praise/

Agree. It's like, once Labor Day hit, you can detect the shift her campaign's media strategy, tone, etc. The Commander-in-Chief forum this week helped bring things into focus, too.

She seems confident. I like moments like this where she shows that she's just as bewildered at his craziness as the rest of us. Pretty relatable.

{and Adam: husband was dying laughing at your post. }

 

[User 463088]

I mean, I love my mom, but she does drive me to drink.

A week or so ago, it was because she got porn on her laptop and didn't know how to make it go away. When I asked her why she was on a website devoted to, in her words "big ta-tas" she told me it was because she was curious and I was a smart ass and could shut my mouth.

Yeah Clinton and the press seem to be mending bridges. And it's good too because with a good relationship with her press corp, they ask less antagonistic questions and she can control the narrative a little depending on what she says.

There's so much to unpack here.. I don't know where to start.. Ok.. Here goes

1)Colt..? Does that name not trigger your mom into a cursing fit?

2)Your mom.. went to see drag queens.. Ok.. But.. What does the bolded mean? Because.. I don't understand?

3)I'm just picturing your mom at a strip club and I really really really really need you to get off your ass and write a book about your mom or.. Giver her a blog/Twitter for us please..

If you did that.. I would watch an episode of RuPaul or something to repay you.. What could I do to convince you to do this?

4)a strip club and an OSU game and all you get is sheets? What is this? i think you are getting the short end of the stick man.

Hahaha, she actually liked McCoy, but ya. Not an ideal name!

2)Your mom.. went to see drag queens.. Ok.. But.. What does the bolded mean? Because.. I don't understand?

Its a drag race thing. RuPaul told a queen once "Your p-ssy is on fire!" for doing a good job. For some reason, it's the one thing my mom remembered from that season and uses it as if to say "You done good." She used it in relation to Urban this week, as well as Hillary. So there you go.

4)a strip club and an OSU game and all you get is sheets? What is this? i think you are getting the short end of the stick man.

Spoiler

I mean, I doubt I'll be getting either end of the stick this weekend, tbh.

Hahaha, I don't mind, though. It's fine. I'm a little salty about the OSU game, but he's promised to take us to a Crew game, so I'm fine at the moment. Besides, I get to spend the weekend with the boys re-doing their bedroom!

This whole speech and presser was excellent. Clinton was at her best.

 

[User 463088]

And, I think there is definite strategy on these pressers. They're covering them because she didn't' do them constantly. She's wooing the press at the right moment to try and hold onto the media cycle going into the debates.

 

[Souldriver]

That was good, very good.

And what's with her voice? It's lower. She sounds good, and maybe that cough forced her to a lower tone.

I feel terrible for noticing this as well, and thinking "she should talk like this all the time!".

You just know there's a decent chunk of the electorate who consciously or subconsciously doesn't like Hillary for reasons like "shrill voice". It's not even that far fetched if you consider that Thatcher also basically recreated her whole image with other clothes and voice to be taken seriously.

Anyway. I always like Hillary when she's a little spontaneous. She's so often Political Figure Hilbot, that it's refreshing to see her informal, spontaneous and humorous side.

haha her answers on the north korea question. that seems to be trumps go to answer for anything. he will do everything different than obama and everybody would respect him for some reason. at least they kept pressing her to give a damn answer instead of just letting her give her talking points without any fight.

what's going on here

"lets see if they should call you big willie instead of slick".

I know, I don't want that to be important, but I think HIllary herself addresses this in some interviews and even yesterday in that HONY post about emulating men campaigning, and coming off as "shrill".

She's literally having to invent the way women campaign for the presidency in the U.S. and that includes figuring out how a woman has to do everything as a candidate, even public speaking. All through trial and error.

 

[Suikoguy]

You both follow the same twitter don't you?

Basically, no new inquiry is needed, as that info already exists, but not all of it has been released.

 

[Joeytj]

Aw yeah, Stein not afraid to ask the important questions

"The Stein/Baraka campaign believes a new inquiry is necessary, and that jet fuel can't melt steel beams"

 

[User 463088]

My take is it's perfectly fine to talk about the best way to present yourself as a candidate irrespective of gender. I think we have to be mindful of gender bias'd language, such as "She sounds shrill" and stuff like that. But talking about tone, and cadence and stuff is perfectly fine, I think.

A lot of this is new. Obama, for example, had to be mindful of not appearing too angry or too whatever so that he wasn't "Angry Black Man"

Because we live in the real world in which OPTICS and gender bias is a thing, I believe we have to, like, expect candidates to minimize those shitty aspects of humanity, not just pretend they don't exist.

 

[thebloo]

I haven't seen the video, but I'm guessing it was the "relaxed grandma" voice. And that's great. She gives good speeches in that voice and her intonation is almost perfect when she does it.

Women rarely do the "hurrah, let's kick some ass" voice well, it's not a problem to stray away form it.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Okay..
1)That's cool. It sucks that James Harrison broke his brains like a huge asshole.
2) She says that Urban's Pussy is on fire then? I just imagine your mom is Angela Lansbury/Betty White for some reason and it really is the most adorable thing ever.
3 Crew tickets.. Crew tickets.. Adam pls.. Cavs tickets, Indians tickets or something.. Fuck Browns tickets or something..

Crew tickets.. That's you're getting a happy meal while the boyfriend gets a medium rare porterhouse..

And wait a minute.. Decorate as in paint the room/putting together furniture or just buying shit to put in their room because i want to understand the picture that is being painted here.

I mean, I love my mom, but she does drive me to drink.

Yeah, this is something that should be brought up more when discussing how Hillary searches to the best way to make people listen to her.

Even people who admire Obama, both the average voter and politicos, openly talk about how Obama acts differently depending on the audience, although he manages to seem even more authentic because of how open he has been about his upbringing and struggles to fit in.

Hillary, as she has said, struggles to share personal aspects about her life.

My bf already put the furniture together. We just have to hang posters and that kind of thing. We bought it all yesterday. The boys and I will get it all ready. Fun stuff. I enjoy doing it!

And, yes, she has said Urban's pussy is on fire. This week, actually. And I didn't ask about the computer thing. I just made it all go away. That's all I could handle.

I also love the Crew. I hate baseball and basketball. We're going to a Browns game already. I just don't remember which one.

I was salty about the OSU game. They've been friends since they were like 11. So, I'm not that big of a bitch to throw shade. The shoes squeak in basketball. It's annoying.

But, seriously, did anyone see Nightly News? Holy shit. It was nothing but positive for Hillary. I'm legit shook.

Hoping this can last until the debates. The debates if they go as expected will have the media talking about how unprepared and childish he looked through each subsequent debate

All the news have been pretty positive for Clinton and emails have been pushed to the side and Republican surrogates. This has been a reallyrics good week for Clinton coming off last week.

Trump! Trump was ha. They dragged the fuck out of Trump going on Russian TV. Even kind of were shady when the campaign said it was an "accident." They dragged ha. They even showed clips of Trump surrogates defending Putin, and then showing that his approval rating in the us is 8%.

Hehehehehee. DRAG HA.

I saw it. It felt weird. Often, if the news is favorable to Hillary, there's always a dark lining to the silver cloud; the formula goes, "This is good, but.. {*insert vague/ominous mention of emails, foundation, etc*}

And I went to a strip club in bumfuck nowhere Misssissippi back in my freshman year at Ole Miss. It was like sitting in someone's den. Big-screen TV, huge rebel flag and various deer heads mounted on the wall, old couches for seating, the smell of Marlboro in the air. One of the girls came over to dance on me, but my buddy told her, laughing, "Don't bother, you're not his type."

She was amazed, and didn't believe us. She'd never knowingly met a gay guy, but once she was done freaking out she invited me to hang-out backstage. Drove my friends nuts, lol..

I can't imagine spending money on that kind of thing. Like...going somewhere with (barely) attractive people who don't give two shits about me and just see me as pathetic or a way to make a buck? I already experienced that. It was called high school. And college. An my early 20s. And my mid 20s.

I'm totally not opposed to people who want to go to them. Colt's friends were like "You sure you don't mind?" And I'm totally unsure why I should care. He's not going to leave me for a stripper he meets while he's drunk off his ass. lol
