[nature boy]

Wonder why they even have audiences at debates.

Sponsors pay the bills, get some seats as well.

Yes, there are Presidential Debate sponsors.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Probably a prize to supporters/donors. There really shouldn't be anybody but the candidates and the moderator.

Here's that video with that Boris guy trying to defend the Trump Foundation that was mentioned a few pages ago:

[Revolver]

This woman on CNN.....SMH

These people are disgusting. I can't believe they're trying to claim Hillary sets out to destroy her enemies when their guy was mentored by Roy fucking Cohn.

 

[Holmes]

Hillary feeling confident in Florida? "If we win Broward county by as much as we're supposed to, we'll win Florida." Two rallies in southern Florida to boost turnout today, not the traditional I-4 corridor battleground.

 

[Resident_UA]

This CNN article almost made me question Trump's sniffles. But then I realized that it's misleading. This is referring to the debate hall audio

 

[titiklabingapat]

I mean the jobs aren't coming back to Iowa/Ohio/Pennsylvania no matter what we do. Trump is flat out, brazenly, openly lying by saying he's going to get jobs back. Hillary is bounded by parameters of real world, so all she can do is talk about her manufacutring plans. Like guys, assemblyline jobs from the 50's never came back for a reason. It's because if a task is repetative, it's programmable, hence robots. Ok, if Democrats lose Rust Belt in 10 years, what then? You voted for a Repub president who cannot deliver on his dumb lies, and he's going to send more of your jobs overseas in reality. Yay.

Midwest was a mistake. Chicago is the only island of reason in this ocean of stupidity.

Someone on Planet Money this week made a good point: we seem to have this hard-on for these manufacturing jobs that are never coming back because of nostalgia. He then went on to point out that the reality is that we are a service-based economy now and how come no one is clamoring to make these jobs better like we did for these old manufacturing jobs instead of constantly complaining about phantom manufacturing jobs.

Damn she did two rallies in Florida?

 

[TumblingHippo]

Man... CNN isn't paying any attention to the surrogate spin on Trump

 

[PantherLotus]

It's time to bring back Palin.

 

[Holmes]

Fort Pierce and Coral Springs.

 

[Teggy]

She also consulted with aliens.

This is the guy I need to be following on election night.

This is all assuming Hillary wins, but if really hope there is someone who has a Karl Rove meltdown live on air.

 

[metalslimer]

Lol Boris has been a piece of shit for months on air and it was refreshing for him to finally get his ass reamed

 

[Oblivion]

Just saw that Paris Hilton thing. Good god, that man is disgusting.

Damn she did two rallies in Florida?

It's because she's twice as terrified.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

This is all assuming Hillary wins, but if really hope there is someone who has a Karl Rove meltdown live on air.

Trump's lawyer should be on screen every time a state is called.

"NBC News can now project Virginia to Hillary Clinton."
"Says who?"

 

[Holmes]

She also said she'll be in Florida so often that they'll be sick of her. The campaign badly wants to deny Trump Florida.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Remember when Trump literally praised Sharia Law:

"Men in Saudi Arabia have the authority to divorce their wives without going to the courts," Trump said. "I guess that would also mean they don't need prenuptial agreements. The fact is, no courts, no judges—Saudi Arabia sounds like a very good place to get a divorce."

lol

[flashbandit16]

I need some help I been looking at the judges that are up for retention this November in my state of Arizona. I was wondering if anyone know of a good website that has information on state judges or how does poligaf decide what judges to vote for? I am having a hard time finding information on these judges although Arizona does have this Judicial Performance Review but I feel it doesn't really give me any significant information on why I should for these judges.

 

[Boke1879]

And they probably want Trump to spend more resources in Florida as well. That said I can see her stopping in FL a few more times.

That poor intern is finally having his/her hard work pay off. They can bury him in negative stories for the next month most likely. Also the gloves have definitely come off and Trump surrogates are freely brining up Bill Clinton.

 

[Bowdz]

Good. If she and the campaign really put away Florida, they can drag Murphy across the finish line and make Rubitron a two time loser.

FUCK YOU LITTLE MARCO.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

"In the 1st district Judicial race, we have a write-in vote for Hingle McCringleberry."

Indianapolis is fine, too.

Well her and her double.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Hillary's strategy seems clear now-agitate Trump just enough to keep him spewing nonsense and attacking things that aren't Hillary. Talk about your plans with the remainder of your time.

Today, in FL:

“My opponent's only infrastructure plan is to build a wall! I loved that he went down to Mexico and he choked,” Clinton said. “He didn't even raise it. He's been going around telling people for months we're going to build a wall, make Mexico pay for it, so he's sitting with the president of Mexico and he doesn't even bring it up.”

 

[BlastProcessing]

So what are dems going to do to keep the white house in 2020 when the gop runs a non-loon that looks 400x better than Trump and Hillary loses her shine?

Look at the state of the GOP. Why would their primary electorate nominate a non-loon next time? I think there is a better than zero chance that Trump is going to be the most mainstream GOP candidate for a decade or so.

 

[Fragamemnon]

All the GOP really needs is a candidate who clears the field ahead of time and stops the clown car primary before it starts. Then you end up with a candidate like Romney, who would have been fine for this cycle.

I don't understand "orange menace". Is this some young person reference I'm not aware of.

Trump seeing her say he choked must raise his blood pressure to a not "healthiest president ever" level.

I don't understand "orange menace". Is this some young person reference I'm not aware of.

Red Menace was the communists, so Orange Menace jokes about his ties with Putin I assume.

 

[Bowdz]

I first heard it from Mike Murphy on the Radio Free GOP podcast.

I be shocked if GOP allows another clown car situation

I miss the days when we called him Orange Turd. PC culture is taking over.

The communist red menace, but with Trump, because his skin is orange

It's a very old reference

Thank you. I dont think he floundered. He's the best spinmaster in Trump team and stuck to his guns.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

That last dip from 538 looks especially dumb now.

It also shows why it's kind of silly to give too much of a shit about polls tbh

 

[shinra-bansho]

I didn't really make the connection at all. It just seemed like the colour orange, with a negative word. So may as well just use orange turd.

A presidential candidate actually started a sentence with "I loved how..."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

I don't get the microphone story, we all heard him fine on TV

 

[studyguy]

The problem is people in the rust belt aren't suddenly going to up and turn to a completely new industry overnight. Chances are pretty good they'll keep those communities dwindling down till they're just left with 0 opportunities in the area unless something drastic is done.

What that solution is I don't know. Spurring late age education or incentives for more businesses to drop in that aren't just bluecollar work, etc. It's not a simple answer and while a lot of dumb opinion come from those kinds of areas, it's worthwhile to at least empathize a bit for the people whose entire lives and towns revolved around industries that packed up and shipped out.

 

[nature boy]

I didn't really make the connection at all. It just seemed like the colour orange, with a negative word. So may as well just use orange turd.

Mike Murphy calls him Orange Menace and it's a funny reference and name to call him.

Turd reminds me of South Park.

 

[Slacker]

Look at the state of the GOP. Why would their primary electorate nominate a non-llon next time. I think there is a better than zero chance that Trump is going to be the most mainstream GOP candidate for a decade or so.

They are chronically terrible at learning from their mistakes. Remember the postmortem they did after 2012?

Problem: Hispanics hate us.
Proposed solution: Immigration reform
Instead: Nominate man who wants to send goon squads to the streets to deport 12 million people

Problem: Minorities in general hate us.
Proposed solution: Spend time and money on minority outreach efforts.
Instead: Nominate David Duke's favorite candidate

Problem: Gay people hate us, and people who don't hate gay people hate us too.
Proposed solution: Cool it with the anti-gay stuff.
Instead: Actually they may have kind of done OK with this one. Trump appears to just not give a shit, but I guess that's better than actively seeking to shove people back in the closet.
Edit: Nevermind, forgot about Mike Pence.

Problem: We live in a bubble
Proposed solution: Stop deifying Reagan, listen to dissenting opinions.
Instead: Nominate the man living in the most unpoppable bubble in all the world.

Problem: People see us as rich assholes
Proposed solution: Fight against corporate welfare, support whistleblowers
Instead: Nominate the richest, most assholiest man in America.

I'm not too concerned that they'll get their heads out of their asses any time soon.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This sums up today perfectly. Literally, the words of both candidates:
Clinton: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
Trump: Check out sex tape.

 

[cooljeanius]

Just a quick anecdotal update from NH. A few folks who where talking pro Trump in the past have recently been talking about reasons they cant vote for him. These are mostly folks under 40. I might be talking to some older folks this weekend who were pro Trump so I'll see how things have changed with them.

Also Hillary has really been upping her ground game her in NH these past few weeks. I see Trump trying to do the same but not getting anywhere near the level of Hillary's team. Hillary's team is like a fucking machine and really well organized, always having something going on to engage or recruit, etc.

On a related note I have seen some Trump sign defacement. On someones private property (someone had to be next to the persons front porch to cut the sign) which while funny isn't cool. They cut the T out of this really large Trump banner so it would say "vote for rump".

That's actually kinda my problem with it; it's too machine-like and not human enough. Just last night someone from the coordinated campaign called me asking if I wanted to sign up to start volunteering even though I had already been volunteering for them previously. Having so many people involved means people don't really get a chance to know one another; you're just another name on a list rather than an actual friend with legitimate social connections.

Nah they fucked that one too. Mike Pence believed in Gay Conversion Therapy.
