The real test will be when Trump is asked the same question. He doesn't dare say, "I don't like to call people names."

Inner cities worse than War torn areas. Literally can't get any worse than it is for african americans.
Pretty sure a lot of them remember a time when it was worse.
This asheville rally is vintage trump. Why is it even in asheville, It is super liberal there.

I got a call from them - while canvassing mind you - asking for a generous donation of $300.
Like bruh I am unemployed I am lucky if I make that in a month.
(Exaggerating but still)
Oh yeah, they've called me.

Explains the media this cycle.
Pigs revel rolling in shit, but the question is when you have the whole country watching them roll in it, do they find enjoyment too?

I can agree with that. I think PoliGAFs analysis is pretty accurate (i.e. Clinton team wants to fire up the Obama coalition and this comment was aimed at that group), but it doesn't change the fact that a large group of the media are panning the comment.

Yeah, I'm sticking by what I said here. The headlines and the online reactions to her comment were good.
To people saying "half" was a bad call, remember that Hillary literally said this same comment months ago and hedged on how many, and no one cared at all. Truth hurts.
Nigel farage is going to be really pissed on november 8th.

"CAN YOU GIVE $100 THE REPUBLICANS ARE REGISTERING VOTERS AND THE DONORS -- THE DONORS! THEY WILL MATCH BUT WE HAVE NO TIME HELP I'M SORRY HELP! HELP!!!!!"
We get similar quotes every cycle. Most of these people psych themselves out and just don't vote.

I thought the ugly frog drawing was just an ugly frog drawing. Or Nigel Farage. Too dank.
I had a lady from the DSCC call me a few months ago and she was R.E.L.E.N.T.L.E.S.S. I stayed on the phone for about three minutes just to see if she would give up. I ended up telling her I was ending the call now and she immediately tried to talk more as I was hanging up. She asked for money like six times, each time giving a fast and informative spiel. I responded that I had just donated and was not considering another donation at that time, etc. It was sad and amusing.
I prefer to make donations anonymously, when possible.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the media thinks of her comments. Not that they don't have any influence or anything, but the way they think a comment will play is not necessarily the way it will actually play, and already Pence has handed them something new to talk about because of it.

Gonna love the news. Trump pushes back on deplorable comment while violence against women breaks out at his rally.

The deplorable comment is great because now the media will cover all the nasty shit that happens at trump rallies.
The DCCC calls me every other day now lol. Last time I hung up on the guy after he said who he was and I felt bad. I'm saving him time at least.

I'm sorry that happened to the protester, but I'm glad there was a video.

Yup, I said this is what would happen in the OT thread. If the media backs Clinton up it's going to be a win for her. A lot of the incidents were largely ignored before now.
Huh...so it's not just on our little knothole the grumbling has occurred. I thought maybe part of it was some lingering bitterness over '08 and how brutal the primary was on all of us, but..huh. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought that. It is frustrating watching the campaign botch basic things - if we knew what the hell we were doing we'd be looking at a Dem Senate and even possibly a Dem House I think.

Serious question: why are people surprised? You've had a country where unless one party controlled both sides of Congress and the presidency, that has basically run into complete partisan gridlock, so much so that SCOTUS is now functioning as the legislative branch as well as the judicial branch. The gridlock's been going on since what, when Gingrich went after Clinton in the late 90s? You have wealth inequality and corporate creation approaching Gilded Age levels, the economic recovery being disproportionately distributed to upper middle class and wealthier...yeah, not terribly surprised that their is some subset of folks who are like "fuck it, we need to cause chaos before anyone feels the need to do something" Progress has been slow (especially compared to the lightspeed the world reports news now), student loans and health care loans are crippling folks. I don't agree with it, but I understand where folks who are in the "burn it all down" phase of their lives might be coming from. We don't have the equivalent of a vote of no-confidence unfortunately.
Also, the person quoted is a political reporter based out of DC. So I'm not surprised at the loathing of the Clintons and the frustration someone in those shoes would have seen daily for decades now. Basically take all the frustrations the average person has felt towards the political process and amplify them 1000x, that's what being a political reporter in DC the last two decades would feel like. You get to see and live the low level pervasive corruption part of DC (cue John Oliver's segment on fundraising). Skews your perspective in pessimistic ways, unfortunately.
Eh, it's messed up but I see where he's coming from. If you're tied to progressive ideals but think that the government has gotten too authoritarian (Hi NSA!) or has just become a functional arm of corporate lobbyists - you see the values in both the Green and Libertarian party. But yeah, their solutions to the problems are 180 degrees from each other.
I seriously feel like facepalming at that quote from trump right now.

Man, Hillary being like FUCK WATER and then getting pneumonia while also having a heat-based fainting spell is like the most Hillary thing ever. I mean, she's still going to win, but she's like FUCK IT, LET'S MAKE IT INTERESTING!

I mean, we do know this happened at least once before in 2012 which gave her a concussion she couldn't hide. It's not that surprising to hear it happens more often than just these two times when it was impossible to ignore.
I'm no doctor and have no idea what that means medically though. Could just be a recurring symptom of her workaholism.
EU4? It's got a bit more complexity.
