FBI is rigged (for her pleasure):

Trump: "The investigation of Hillary Clinton was rigged. Hillary Clinton is the ringleader of a private criminal enterprise."

I hate that it is somehow OK to call your opponent a criminal like that. So terrible for democracy.

Speaking of which, I was listening to Fresh Air and someone noted that the pace of the partisan split is only accelerating, and it's not that this trend is new. It's been rapidly increasing for almost two decades. When does it stop and normalize again?

It's a bad clip, but there's not really a killer soundbite in it.

Sure there is, don't play the part where she feels out an answer.

Ominous voice: Kelly Ayotte says Donald Trump is a role model for kids.

Q: Would you tell them to be like Donald Trump? Would you point to him as a role model?
Ayotte: Absolutely, I would do that.

*cut to well worn clips of Trump doing terrible things"

Voice: (rhetorically) Would you want your own kids to have this as a role model?

Ayotte: Absolutely, I would do that.

Voice: *concluding remark about how Kelly Ayotte is wrong for New Hampshire, or whatever*

I think the Senate races are far from over, the RNC and donors aren't going to sit idle.

That's too bad for the RNC and donors, then.

The fact that a disputed presidential race going to a 4-4 SCOTUS would mean that composition of the lower courts would be significant. I've referred to this before, thankful that Obama has tilted most of the lower federal courts..

Ya, but this seems so far removed from what I'd think she'd want to talk about tonight, it's just...odd. I mean, only liberals would worry about this. Which, I don't think she's worried about it, but she's really spending 8 minutes on this? Really?

 

[metalslimer]

I don't think worrying about a 1 state recount is worth worrying about

 

[starmud]

Is she on a sugar High from the weekend?

Sugar high. I cant when they start salivating over a tied electoral outcome.

Ha, in that case.. yeah.. I don't know why she used this approach on her topic tonight either. It's a rather oblique angle, and really really unlikely.

Edit:
Now she's covering the surrogate differential! It's like she's tapped into my brain!

 

[madstarr12]

So we didn't get damaging Clinton news from Assange today, apparently he's gonna speak in Berlin 3AM EST. But will it really be damaging, considering Trump is continuing to implode with Taxes and PTSD? Wonder what these "documents" will show us. October is such an anxiety-filled month during election years, considering how it's a month before the main event, and almost anything negative can make a candidate drop like a rock.

Awwww they're having so much fun on 360 and it actually puts a smile on my face

After the 2nd Civil War of 2017.

Like, this is rambly. There is no point to this. I mean, these things are disjointed. "What if it's a super close election?" followed by polling showing that it's not. "Okay, but that's one metric. What about surrogates?"

It's weird.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I saw somebody on facebook who said a 3rd party vote would show others that it's viable.

I had to go off on this. This is a college educated person. I told him nah bro, that's not how it works nor how the constitution works. Having 3 parties soak votes and none of them reaching the majority, would only allow the House to vote in the President, in which case it would be Trump.

It's like, how can people be this uneducated about politics. Like, why. I had to vent. This election is giving me a hemorrhage.

 

[Dierce]

After the 2nd Civil War of 2017.

Could orange turd be arrested if he calls out to his supporters for armed revolt in a fit of rage if he loses?

i'm hoping the split normalizes into something like this:

And now Rachel is on mental health? Am I the only one slightly confused by all of this?

 

[RastaMentality]

so the clinton campaign is ending on tuesday at 3am ET instead of wednesday?

 

[HylianTom]

And now Rachel is on mental health? Am I the only one slightly confused by all of this?

No, I'm with you. I'm waiting to see if she's able to tie this all together into one theme. Color me skeptical at this point.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Still waiting for a source that's not Roger Stone or sourcing Roger Stone to claim that anything is even being released during this press conference, which had always been scheduled due to the 10th anniversary of wikileaks and is being advertised as such by the organization itself. It's the mindless herd mentality that's upsetting me at this point.

 

[royalan]

Rachel seems genuinely emotional and enraged talking about this.

Good.

 

[mo60]

so the clinton campaign is ending on tuesday at 3am ET instead of wednesday?

People have been planning the end of her campaign since early september.

 

[Anno]

So is Pence actually going to follow up on this awful anti-Kaine ad tomorrow? Like I don't understand how he makes that stick for anyone they actually need to convert to their side. Going full Willie Horton seems super weird.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Rachel seems genuinely emotional and enraged talking about this.

Good.

She's pissed.

 

[RustyNails]

Could orange turd be arrested if he calls out to his supporters for armed revolt in a fit of rage if he loses?

He won't...that will mean he will lose whatever remaining brand he has.

Some people have just completely made shit up based on their own guesses for the 3-way split vote. The most common thought is that whoever gets the most votes wins, majority be damned. Super incorrect.

 

[User 463088]

I'm glad Rachel is pissed about this. I'm a fan of that. But from a purely rhetorical standpoint, she needed to cut the entire first half of this, and just start directly with the Trump veteran comments. The whole "close election 2000" thing was.....misplaced.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Man, Kayleigh in that black dress... You can't fool me, the devil is a liar and Trump supporter.

Yeah it's like

Politics isn't that simple. Don't listen to your damn tv when they tell you it's that simple. Don't listen to the people who are campaigning as 3rd party who tell you it's that easy.

And it's not this person thinking like that. I've seen far too many people who think voting 3rd party is going to do shit. "Oh well you know, we have to send a message that we won't stand for two parties that are practically the same".

It doesn't help that the majority of people I've noticed saying that, come from a position of privilege where their lives wouldn't be affected either way more or less. It's like fuck, man.

 

[Valhelm]

What the hell.

This is really, really interesting.

Isn't it weird that American partisanship has almost always been more about social identity (religion, race, progressiveness) rather than class identity? I guess the two party system kills any chance of a viable working class organization.

 

[Emarv]

I'm just not attracted to Kayleigh. I think it's that type of bleach blonde that doesn't work for me. Same issue I have with Tomi Lahren, who people go crazy over.

Bring back the true conservative vixen, S. E. Cupp. The true bae.

 

[Crocodile]

I just saw the NRA ad in Cleveland. Are.........are they allowed to just lie like that? Like literally nothing they said was true. It was pure fear-mongering!

Many of the people you're talking about, it's most likely their first foray into real election politics. 'This dude is saying we need to stop messing in middle east? He's saying government should get out of our bedrooms? He's also saying legalize weed? hey guys, I think I found my guy!'

They will come out of it in a few months. I started as a Ron Paul supporter. I'll hold my L's till the end of time.

 

[TumblingHippo]

Prediction for the next presidential debate: Trump will be aggressively in Hillary's face so much at one point he'll accidentally sit down in her chair.

Kayleigh is objectively attractive but also has crazy eyes.

tsk, tsk, lusting after Trump supporters.

It's crazy that Tomi Lahren is only 24

The thing about the town hall debate is that Trump objectively cannot stand still for one fucking second, so what will he do while Clinton is answering questions? Pace? Bounce on his chair? Get in her face and say "that's not true!"?

I can believe it. They'll still vote for Trump and they'll justify it by saying he's a business genius.

Trump supporters haven't gotten the message yet—give it a couple weeks and it'll be patriotic to skip out on taxes, just like Republicans are now really sweet on Putin.

 

[Emarv]

Stools because Hillary is weak and needs STOOLSSS & PILLOWS!

Exactly this.

 

[RustyNails]

Thing with Sippy Cupp is that she's likeable despite being on the other team. She doesn't support Trump and can be funny. So it's easy to like her. Kayleigh though. It's very complicated. She's totally on the Trump kool-aid.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I live in PA. I don't have cable at home but I was at my parents house over the weekend watching Football and I was shocked that I did not see any Presidential campaign ads. Is either candidate spending any money in PA? Don't get me wrong it was refreshing and I know the polls have consistently put PA out of reach for Trump since the conventions but I found it odd just because with the battleground status, this close to an election, I'm accustomed to an onslaught.
