Hillary's been airing a positive ad in the CLE market. Um, it's her talking to the camera...and then she says something about how she's spent her life working for children. And.....idk. There's just too many.

I hope the millenial speech just flat out states I'm not here to pander or patronize, I'm here to make my case with no gimmicks attached. Though I have no idea if that works with some of these people who can't be swayed.

So Team Trump's media relations pivot is continuing nicely..

VICE News reporter arrested outside a Donald Trump campaign event

Alex Thompson, a reporter for VICE News, was arrested by Houston Police today while inquiring about press access to an event held for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Omni Westside Hotel. Thompson was arrested at roughly 1:30 PM EST and has been charged with trespassing. He is currently being held at Houston Central Jail.

VICE News requested access to the event earlier this week and was told by the Trump campaign that its status was "pending." Thompson entered the lobby of the Omni to ask members of Trump's communications staff whether a final decision on access had been made.

A man who identified himself as a hotel manager then asked Thompson to leave and warned that he would be arrested if he did not. Roughly two minutes later, without further warning and while Thompson was waiting for a member of Trump's staff to clarify his access to the event, he was arrested by Houston Police, handcuffed, and escorted outside. Thompson spoke with his editors while handcuffed and said that he was never given any opportunity to explain himself to police.

And it's in the suburbs of where Kaine was mayor. I had proposed very early this year that if she ended-up picking him, that the campaign should have a huge, star-studded rally in Richmond that week.

Kaine needs to switch to Spanish during the dabate for a few questions . Would probably cause an aneurism and Pence would jump up on the table like Cotton Hill.

I just hope they're taking the criticism to heart regarding engaging younger voters. Especially young black and latino voters. Having Bernie, etc isn't enough. There really do need to be ads out there explaining what they have to lose with Trump and if they toss their vote away by voting third party. Forget how Trump is a horrible person but what will happen to Obamacare, voting rights, college affordability, their taxes, child care, etc. All policy stuff but more targeted right now and not later.

Another thing I'm worried about is people being struck from the voter rolls. A reminder for people to check would be good. I do so every month here in PA with various members of my family but I'm paranoid like that. Thankfully I just have to check the voter registration website but not sure how easy it is in other states.

Honestly I am more worried about the aural holocaust that could be another Jennifer Lopez album than Pennsylvania. For now.

I wonder if GOP debate prep is just the Kaine/Clinton stand-ins ranting hysterically and playing conservative straw men while Karl Rove fiendishly masturbates.

Unless the Clinton stand-in is Ivanka in which case Trump fiendishly masturbates.

Ps suicide squad sucked

I think the first thing Clinton should say during the debate is "The American people wonders which trump will show up today. Will it be the one that supports torture or will it be the one that walked back on it. Or maybe it will be the one that most recently started supporting torture again when he said 'we are going to have to do things that are unthinkable'.

Hillary doesn't have to say shit about or to Trump, honestly. She just needs to show up and answer the questions / remarks and he'll do all the messy work of imploding all by himself. Without a script Trump is going to do everything short of throw his shoe at the moderator (and I think even that is within the realm of possibility).

That said, if she goads him into looking like a horse's ass, it'll make for great television. Imagine "Please proceed, Governor" but with a petulant, screaming child instead of Romney, who actually had the sense to more or less immediately know he'd put his foot in it.

I know no one cares, but perhaps the one other Oklahoman here wants to see this poll.

Last poll was taken in late July

Oklahoma:
Trump 51 (-2)
Clinton 36 (+7)
Johnson 6 (-1)

Got it from reddit. Here's the source.

Walker is extremely racist.

Kaine is the most anti-racist guy in Washington D.C.

Other than that though...

Walker is also an empty suit with less than 0 charisma, the only reason he made it as far as he did is the Koch Bros bought him a Governor's seat. You can't really call Kaine an empty suit.

Donald should definitely drop this aspect of the tax cut plan because Obama cut more than a dozen taxes for small businesses that middle income and rich people run. Seems like Trump is making the same mistake of not focusing more on big tax cuts for low income folks. Moreover, he should make it clear he's accounting for age as well as the size of the businesses he's targeting rather than an across the board tax cut. US GDP over the next decade is projected to be over 200 trillion + so whether the overall cost over time was $2.6 trillion or $10 trillion is not a big deal to me. I'm not sure why the NY Times brought that up without saying the % of GDP or whether they think the economy would overheat from too much federal intervention given the state of the recovery today.

He could do as you suggest, or he could just write in, bespoke, policies that specifically benefit his buddies.

I know which one I'm betting on.

But that book, and numerous interviews over the years, make little mention of a crucial factor in getting the hotel built: an extraordinary 40-year tax break that has cost New York City $360 million to date in forgiven, or uncollected, taxes, with four years still to run, on a property that cost only $120 million to build in 1980.

The project set the pattern for Mr. Trump’s New York career: He used his father’s, and, later, his own, extensive political connections, and relied on a huge amount of assistance from the government and taxpayers in the form of tax breaks, grants and incentives to benefit the 15 buildings at the core of his Manhattan real estate empire.

Since then, Mr. Trump has reaped at least $885 million in tax breaks, grants and other subsidies for luxury apartments, hotels and office buildings in New York, according to city tax, housing and finance records. The subsidies helped him lower his own costs and sell apartments at higher prices because of their reduced taxes.

No possible subsidy was left untapped. After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Mr. Trump lined up a $150,000 grant for one of his buildings near ground zero, taking advantage of a program to help small businesses in the area recover, even though he had acknowledged on the day of the attacks that his building was undamaged.

In seeking those subsidies, Mr. Trump is not that different from many other developers. But the level of subsidies he has received along with his doggedness in claiming them seem at odds with his rhetoric as an outsider candidate who boasts of his single-handed success and who has denounced what he calls the pay-to-play culture of politics and a “rigged” system of government.

Of course, not all of the remarks were initially his own words: He has often stumbled based on his social media decisions — the people he retweets and the messages he amplifies.

Let's recap:


  1. Then he added: "If Republicans were doing that, they'd be warming up the gas chamber right now."

  2. After Clinton made her "basket of deplorables" comment and Trump supporters gleefully embraced the label, Trump this week sought to do the same. So he Instagrammed a mock-up of a "The Expendables" movie poster with his, his father's and his father's supporters' faces superimposed over the words "The Deplorables."

    The problem: One of the superimposed faces was of Pepe the Frog, a symbol that has been co-opted by white supremacists and nationalists.

  3. In March, he did an interview with James Edwards, a white nationalist radio host who prefers the term "pro-white advocate." In the past, Edwards has decried interracial sex as "white genocide" and said "slavery is the greatest thing that ever happened" to black people.

  4. On Sept. 1, Trump Jr. retweeted alt-right movement leader Kevin MacDonald, who runs the Occidental Observer website. According to the site's mission statement, it is focused on issues of "white identity, white interests, and the culture of the West."

  5. You may remember the story of Trump apologizing for falsely claiming that a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) was posing as a Trump supporter doing the Nazi salute.

    His source was apparently Vox Day, who sent a tweet alleging that the woman was Sanders supporter Portia Boulger. Trump retweeted this claim.

    Day himself wrote in a 2010 World Net Daily column about expelling minorities from places like Minneapolis and Detroit to reclaim "traditional white Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture." His blog features regular posts about white identity and culture, though he prefers not to be called a white nationalist.

A lot of Donald Trump Jr.’s trail missteps seem to involve white nationalists and Nazis - WaPo

The list doesnt even mention Donald Trump Jr.'s campaign visit to Philadelphia, Mississippi. The infamous city where civil rights leaders were murdered and Philadelphia police participated in that murder and helped cover it up. Reagan then went there and gave his infamous state's rights speech in a not so subtle wink wink to all the racist shitheads out there.

Its hard to imagine any other political reason why DTJ would go to Philadelphia, Mississippi besides giving the not so subtle wink wink to white nationalists and racists.

So I live in Columbus, Ohio, and had to miss Elizabeth Warren yesterday because I had to drive to Canton, Ohio, where my parents live. And then I proceed to miss Bernie while he's in Canton today because we all left together for a family vacation.

Ugh.

Any good places for all these speeches? Gonna check the Hillary YouTube channel
