Sounds like "There is a pro-Clinton super PAC that did pro-Clinton things and we think it should be investigated."

Lock her up I guess.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Who cares about Trump, though? Hillary is the bad one!

Psst. Second paragraph.

Welp thats happens when you speed read through multiple paragraphs of text. Sorry.

October surprise...?



https://www.yahoo.com/news/watchdog...ign-of-election-law-violations-214054242.html

Nope. They also sued Trump and two Super PACs of his

This is going nowhere.

 

[Slayven]

Actually so long as any coordinating is done out in the open, like on TV, it's fine. If you go back to when Colbert had a SuperPAC it was shocking to see the shit he could do while not breaking the rules.

I don't understand what PACs can and can't do, like they can't even talk to the candidate they representing?

 

[Holmes]

Honestly it's more the result of Citizens United and Super PACs being shitty than anything else.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Hubert Humphrey is an interesting comparison to Hillary Clinton in being a really progressive neocon.

I think Hillary is a lot less hawkish than Humphrey presented himself as though.

 

[Bowdz]

I don't understand what PACs can and can't do, like they can't even talk to the candidate they representing?

SuperPACS can't officially coordinate or commmunicate with the campaign, but they can circumvent that by just spamming public material (ala Ted Cruz dumping 20+ hours of amazing stock Cruz footage to YouTube so that SuperPACS could use it).

Maybe some people are masochists; there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Holmes]

Yeah, honestly it's a big nothing. Accusations of colluding with SuperPACs happens every election year for almost every campaign. Not only that, this is just a group suing both campaigns, and that's all. It's probably going nowhere considering how loose the laws on this are and how easy they are to skirt around. On top of that, Matthew is getting a lot of coverage and not much is going on in the campaign right now so there's not much to talk about on that end. So... this is just a whole big nothing.

I'm only seeing it on daily caller and info wars and other shit sites, and it supposedly happened Wednesday. If even poolitico isn't reporting on it seems like it's nothing, or as fake as the "pay to play" folder in the clinton foundation "leak"

You guys? One person brought it up and then was met with a wave of dismissals. Save the shitty generalizations for when people are actually bedwetting. (Sunday might be a good time to check in)

I love how in 1916, Woodrow Wilson only won the presidency because his opponent was too lazy to meet with the Republican governor of California and the governor of California got pissed off and refused to endorse him.

The Republican lost by only 3800 votes in California and would have won the presidency if he won California.

1916 was probably the worst election in the last 100 years between two terrible candidates.

wouldn't they both have been under 270 if California went red? I'm just reading wikipedia.

Only needed 266 back then. Hughes' states+California would have given him 267.

By the time telegraphs were invented it wasn't too bad, and that was way before this one. Radio made it pretty much as instant as today, which was right around the next election cycle after this one.

Yes but remember that even small cities had at least a few different newspapers. The market was competitive as hell in the big cities. A lot of them naturally were divided among political ideology just like the surviving rival newspapers of today.

John Adams spread a rumor that Jefferson had died right before the election.

Maybe Trump does that this year.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Maybe Trump does that this year.

Adams did it in retaliation to Jefferson calling him a hermaphrodite. Which do you think Trump is more likely to do?

I mean, I guess nothing is stopping him from doing both...

 

[Man God]

Maybe Trump does that this year.

It's actually far easier to spread falsehoods these days and get a wide number of people to believe it. DO it at around 8 am eastern Election Day and shit will pop off!

But Adams couldn't even get Hamilton or someone to find that Jefferson recommended the south taking up armed resistance against the federal government. Sad!

Donald Trump Held What Appeared to Be a Public Debate Prep Session, and It Went Terribly

In what is either another remarkable blunder or a masterful bit of expectations lowering, on Thursday night in New Hampshire Donald Trump held a public practice session for his town hall-style debate with Hillary Clinton this Sunday.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmffffffg. *worry worry worry*

Work is fun this morning. Whichever idiot is responsible for last night's Sterling flash crash is a pain in the neck.

On the plus side, not long until another debate. God I'm excited

As CNN notes, “Rather than working the room, Trump remained standing in the same spot, just a few feet from Carr who read off the questions Trump’s supporters had submitted.”

No stamina ! SAD !
