I had this awful dream for three months that the dude that got roasted by Snoop Dogg & The Situation decided to run for president. Thank god that's over.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Whatever, I'm taking the L on this one. But if a genius like David Axelrod can make this mistake, so can I.

I can't fault your instinct to search for logic in a politician's "policy" speech. The problem is that Trump is a flim flam artist and a huckster.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Trump retweeting Coulter praising him is a sign that Trump is free again.

I hear Churchill had a nice turn of phrase, but Trump's immigration speech is the most magnificent speech ever given.

Didn't Harvard recently do a study demonstrating that Hillary's news coverage was overwhelmingly negative compared to Trump (and Sanders)?

 

[Spiritreaver]

Periscope was a mistake. Haven't used it in ages and there are some rabid Trumpers there. Gays4Trump. People will do anything for viewers.

 

[BigJonsson]

He wants to confuse you. His whole MO is confusing policy mixed with Strongman Rhetoric. That's the Trump cocktail.

If someone asks him straight up he will give a non answer in a tone that he thinks will please his current audience.



Prewrites make the world go round. All sports journalists have their stories written by the 3rd quarter. Places like the NYT have files full of prewritten Obituaries for politicians and celebs.

#rewrite is a common hashtag for sports journalists lol

Yup. Nothing a sports writer hates more than a walk-off homer.

 

[BigJonsson]

The bold makes her more likely to bolt in my opinion. People without loyalty to the cause, so to speak, are basically mercenaries. No one on Trump's team cares about the guy himself but his family, and to extend that, no one including Trump himself in this campaign actually cares what happens to the GOP after this is over. People who don't care are quick to flee.



I think this is probably accurate. Trump seems like a boardroom sort of leader. He gathers these people together to argue in front of him, and he picks the "winner" based on his own criteria. It's likely why he never liked Manafort; the guy probably didn't jive with Trump's own ideas of how to successfully argue his case.

I bet if you walked up to Trump on the street and said, "Hey Mr. Trump, those people you've got right now aren't very good. I could get in there and really show the staff how to box it out with Hillary. Really strong, really "pull no punches" stuff. Make her look weak and you come out looking like a billion* dollars. Whaddaya say?" he'd hire you for your passion.

*This is intentionally buttering him up since he values his own net worth so much. Like, really enunciate and make it clear that you're saying billion, not million.

Pretty much how he acted on the Apprentice when I thought it was a decent show, ugh do I feel silly for that now

The Situation roasted himself. Literally the worst set I've ever seen.

So what happens after Trump inevitably kicks out Conway? Does he hire a 4th campaign manager? Does he rehire Lewandowski? Does he just make Bannon both CEO and Manager?

[Black Mamba]

Outside of that awful first draft by the nyt, the media seems to be pretty hard on the non pivot tonight.

I don't see how this plays well with the constituents that he needs to win. It's just as bad as his convention speech.

Its great for the base and nothing else.

It's time the media accepts that trump is only going to play to his base and that the people believe this is their last for fight. The media should do their job and make sure they get crushed.

Mexico Trip, of course, was Charlie Brown and the football. Media fell for it. Now, Trump vamping off script with his usual bile.

I wonder how many more times the media will allow themselves to be snookered between now and Nov 8?

The bar is super low.

And the nyt seems to be trying to catch trump in a flip flop when the double down was the real story.

Anyway these things don't matter. Trump's words tonight do, however. And for that I feel assured.

I have to think that loving Falling Down and strongly empathizing with the main character probably predicts Trump support:

OMG I just saw the "Make Mexico Great Again Also" hat.

How is this not a parody?

Please tell me Gene Wilder's death is just a cover up and he's playing Trump as his final grand performance...

Anyone seen Mel Brooks?

Politico: Several Hispanic Trump surrogates reconsider support

I'm gonna go ahead and use Trump's own words.

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake

What the fuck where they expecting?

Morning Joe is great today...

they're chopping Trump's balls off with a blunt pencil lol

These people were getting paid.

They'll continue to support him if he pays them more.

At this point, they've decided they're not getting paid enough to flush their dignity down the sewers.

They're really unbearable. "I'm just reporting what's happening. Not my fault HRC doesn't hold pressers while Trump does."

Then you're not a journalist. You're just a "weather girl" (apologies if that's offensive) talking about stuff with no substance or understanding. Yes, Trump has a tendency to steal the show, but it's the press' choice to give it to him.

Bill Clinton used tax dollars to subsidize foundation, private email server


Bill Clinton used a decades-old federal government program, originally created to keep former presidents out of the poorhouse, to subsidize his family’s foundation and an associated business, and to support his wife’s private email server, a POLITICO investigation has found.

...

This investigation, which is based on records obtained from the General Services Administration through the Freedom of Information Act, does not reveal anything illegal. But it does offer fresh evidence of how the Clintons blurred the line between their non-profit foundation, Hillary Clinton’s State Department and the business dealings of Bill Clinton and the couple’s aides.

Seriously, why the hell do they feel like doing nothing until Labor Day. Sitting back and watching from afar is really quite the concerning idea of a plan.

Well Tim Kaine is on a media blitz this morning.

Well Tim Kaine is on a media blitz this morning.

While having Tim Kaine going out is nice and all, Clinton has to do something herself. It just makes me feel quite uneasy with how she and her campaign are approaching this.

It worked for a while but they can''t keep milking this strategy, I would tend to agree.

yeah i kind of need clinton to start her campaign again after labor day. giving august to trump might be okay in the long run, but i need polls plus to be above 70%. obama was above 73% at this point, and only dipped to the mid-60s after the first debate. i want her support to be strong by the time early voting starts.

Breitbart/Gravis Arizona poll:

With that speech, gotta make a big play for Arizona.

And Little Marco has to distance himself even Trump.

It works when Trump does something nobody agrees with like attacking the Khan family. It didn't in the last two weeks.

Clinton not campaigning also affects the response rate and enthusiasm of supporters for these polls. Just doing find raising for two weeks with one speech doesn't work.

 

[The Chosen One]

Well I called it.

When you guys were going nuts over the Trump early August implosion and declaring the race over, I told you if Trump narrows it back down to 3-4 points by labor day, we'll have a ball game.

Going by the latest polls, Trump is going to do just that by this weekend. It's not just margin of error buoyancy, in just about every national and state poll, the race has tightened.

That said, I still think Trump will lose at the end of the day but Clinton will not be able to coast to the finish.
