I get Trump emails in my spam folder. Crowdsourcing for the debates, who knew?

[Sample Question: Do you think Trump should refer to Hillary as “Crooked Hillary” on stage?]

Trumps biggest supporters are going to tell him to NOT call her names? Well this should be interesting.

More likely a fake survey to make people feel special and they are just trying to get money.

People on the internet scare me. Reddit has gone crazy over the IT guy thing and are just making up bullshit conspiracies about it now.

Yeah, I used to like Reddit in general but ever since the entire Ellen Pao debacle it has been on a fast track to becoming nigh-unreadable entirely.

If there was justice in this world, that link would get trolled so hard. We need people to get him to on stage accuse Obama of causing 9/11.

If people actually tried something like that the trump campaign would filter out the responses that are too extreme.

 

[Aaron Strife]

It's possible that some republicans are actually abandoning the republican party in some states in this election cycle and switching to voting for the democrats in the downballot and the presidential races instead.

Yeah but these are people who were canvassed recently and sometimes were caucus goers in 2008/2016 (even seen a couple 2004 ones). They seem to fit the profile of down-the-ticket Democrats.

It would at least be more work for them to determine what is "too extreme" or not at the very least

Reddit has been shit for a while now. I agree.

That is assuming they are competent enough, or Trump even listens to his advisors. This can easily turn to be extremely unhelpful. Many people don't have understanding, lack nuance, and are extremely biased. I won't be surprised that half the responses would be something anyone can easily counter.

If Donald Trump says that Hillary wants to grant citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants say easily clarify her position and ask Trump for proof that she has ever said that she wanted that many.

Millennial / Clinton thread mentioning tuition forgiveness with a post 'but I already paid mine off, what do I get?': CHECK.

 

[platypotamus]

Just call him Mr. Brexit.

This election. This FUCKING election. If Trump wins, his Presidency -- be it one term or two -- will do real and lasting damage to this country. It will be profound and will last the rest of our adult lives.

To be fair, if Trump wins, the rest of our adult lives won't be very long

Get fucked McScroty.

Our short lives will be a golden age of satire at any rate.

What's funny is the dude posting "but what do I get" while simultaneously saying they don't feel like a millennial

And that's a bad question because?

I mean really? Where do you draw the line? Did you apply this to loan forgiveness post 2008 crash?

 

[PantherLotus]

And that's a bad question because?

...

I'm not doing this. Sorry.

CNN sort of doing it's job

Trump is saying "yes" to Fox News almost every day but saying "no" to most other major networks and news organizations -- a highly unusual strategy for a presidential nominee.

He called into "Fox & Friends" on Monday morning, he is booked on "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night, and he has another town hall with Sean Hannity coming up on Wednesday.

Rousing the base instead of reaching out to undecided voters may ultimately pay off for Trump. If nothing else, it limits the candidate's exposure to hard-hitting questions -- while fueling frustration among journalists.

 

[Dan]

Samantha Bee had some fun ripping into NBC for continuing to pal around with Donald Trump. Also did a nice primer on the political history of Roger Ailes.

The satisfaction of knowing that future generations won't be burdened by crippling debt

 

[Plumbob]

Because it reeks of "I got mine on my own, fuck yours."

The failing NYT covered her desperate speech to bratty youths.

She extolled the virtues of a tax credit plan tied to paid apprenticeships, seeming to test a few attention spans.

Perhaps the most raucous applause came when Mrs. Clinton noted her plans to eliminate tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for families with annual incomes up to $125,000, as well as her efforts to make college debt-free for all.

“I worked with Bernie Sanders on a plan,” she said, eliciting at least one piercing “woot!” in the room before she finished the sentence.

woot.

woot.

Low energy Crooked Hillary can't fit in the go-go, time is money world of today. Tax credits = Boring! "Make America Great Again" = sweet and to the point. Sad!

More like, "We want ratings too!"

They haven't proven to actually press him before. I have no faith they'd do it now, especially with how they handle his surrogates.

 

[SexyFish]

Oh my.

A daughter of Robert Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, said in a Facebook post that former Republican President George H.W. Bush told her he's voting for -- wait for it -- Hillary Clinton.

 

[PantherLotus]

Oh my.

Let's pretend this is true. Who does this help?

Seth Meyers bit on Trump's birther ploy.

[Aaron Strife]

Oh my.

I bet Dubya's voting for her too, honestly.

Maybe they can flip Texas for us.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Oh my.

It's time for Trump to go on attack against a dying former president.

 

[Boke1879]

Let's pretend this is true. Who does this help?

Maybe if he stated it publicly, but then again people don't even want to hear the Bush name.

The mostly avoid the media strategy worked really well for the harper campaign in the last federal election in Canada.I find it interesting how trump thinks he can replicate it.

Spoiler

Actually the mostly avoid the media strategy did not work to well for the harper campaign

 

[thefro]

Clinton's campaign needs to run an ad with Trump's comments bout refugees while footage plays of injured kids from Aleppo.

Actually probably just a long shot of Omran

 

[shem935]

Can we just not be happy to be happy? We don't really need to think about the state of the race all the time yo. It's funny as shit that all living presidents will most likely vote for Hillary Clinton.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Let's pretend this is true. Who does this help?

He's the last Republican President that is still respected on the left. W would be the one you don't want because it reinforces too many negatives, better for him to endorse Johnson or something while blasting Trump.

A much less worried planet tbh. It's just gonna be man.

Has George W bush made any hints about who he wants to vote for yet.I know he has been campaigning for downballot republicans, but I'm not sure if he despises trump enough to vote for hilary.

 

[Suikoguy]

George H. W. Bush? Hillary
George W. Bush? Who the fuck knows, lol.

Did you gafsplain to him the problem with his model?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Oh my.

Fuckin awesome. Hillary would be 100x closer to H.W than Trump would be, and even with that in mind this is a huge deal.

Let's pretend this is true. Who does this help?

Clinton, certainly...I know he didn't win reelection but the dude was at least a realist.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Did you just refer to trash Nate as best Nate. I should ban you.

Most Americans agree with Trump this issue...

I haven't seen a single Trump supporter or pundit on CNN that I haven't wanted to punch in the fucking mouth.

People actually asked hardish questions about his model, and he addressed why its different from Wang's and the Upshots.

Be sure to bring up things from February.

An H.W. Bush endorsement would help win a media cycle or two. That's at least worth something at this stage.

Her campaign needs to be creative though. If they could pull it off, imagine a dual endorsement of H.W. Bush and Colin Powell the day after a good debate performance. Hillary would have a week's worth of good coverage. If she flops in the debate, then it's a good way to get the bad media off her.

 

[Plinko]

Oh my.

Months ago I predicted one of the Bush presidents would openly support her. This is close. I want a public statement.

 

[BSsBrolly]

Anyone else follow Fox News on Twitter? Holy hell, the output coming from them dwarves all the other news organizations I follow combined...

This. HW is not his son, and it's a big deal for any Never Trump people that it's likely that not a single living President will vote for Trump.

I'd love it if the Bush family pulled another Vote Your Conscience moment in October. That shit was great.

 

[User1608]

Not bad.
