The delusion didn't work for Romney. It's certainly not going to work for Trump.

My guess is incite a riot. Or announce his TV network while also saying that he made it to Pennsylvania avenue anyway due to his hotel.
So, he's a winner regardless.

Of all the Conservative fluffers that (the failing) NYT allows to use its Opinion Page, Ross Douthat might be the most annoying. He combines an a-historical fog and reflexive 'bothsiderism' with none of the flowery prose of David Brooks. He's a conduit for the most banal conservative 'Common Wisdom' while trying to write himself out of the role as 'Elite Meedja.' He's the worst.

Here is his morning hairball, warning that while Trump is an oafish buffoon, destined to be an electoral plane crash, we must remember that Clinton is a dangerous purveyor of Washington insiderism and stale, stay-the-course orthodoxy, when it's obvious what Real 'Murica craves is that new-hotness; a muscular reclamation of outside-the-box thinking and concern for the fading values that made us great (read: Rockwell-ian caricatures of White people confused about a changing world)

The dangers of a Hillary Clinton presidency are more familiar than Trump’s authoritarian unknowns, because we live with them in our politics already. They’re the dangers of elite groupthink, of Beltway power worship, of a cult of presidential action in the service of dubious ideals. They’re the dangers of a recklessness and radicalism that doesn’t recognize itself as either, because it’s convinced that if an idea is mainstream and commonplace among the great and good then it cannot possibly be folly.

Almost every crisis that has come upon the West in the last 15 years has its roots in this establishmentarian type of folly. The Iraq War, which liberals prefer to remember as a conflict conjured by a neoconservative cabal, was actually the work of a bipartisan interventionist consensus, pushed hard by George W. Bush but embraced as well by a large slice of center-left opinion that included Tony Blair and more than half of Senate Democrats.

I know you'll missed dat Rassssss:

Donald Trump still has a slight edge in Rasmussen Reports’ latest White House Watch.

The new national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Trump with 43% support to Clinton’s 41%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets five percent (5%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee picks up three percent (3%). Another three percent (3%) like some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Today’s survey is unchanged from Friday but includes the second full night of surveying following the final presidential debate last week in Las Vegas. Rasmussen Reports is one of three national polls that still shows the race as competitive with two weeks to go; most others portray Clinton with a wide – and, in some cases, growing - lead.

An infomercial for Trump TV. Everyone will be watching so it'll be some bigly free advertisement. He will concede but tell his people to follow him over. The election won't be close for him so he will have no choice but to concede, and he will take advantage of that with advertising his new network everywhere.

Megan and her broken calculator were in fact the worst. But that's the cross to bear to have good, long-form journalism: hackish Conservative cretins with more concern that their Thermomix may be on the fritz, than if their proposed policies may starve kids.

The worst thing about people such as Brooks is that they believe that all the evils in the world stem from liberalism, and that conservatism can do no wrong. Even in that piece he wrote he blames liberals, not conservatives for the Iraq War, saying that half the liberal senate voted for the war. He conveniently leaves out the fact that the reason the Dems in the senate voted for the war was because they were fed bullshit intelligence from the Bush administration. He also leaves out the fact that the Bush administration was hungering for a war in Iraq even before 9/11.

It reminds me of those fucks who believe that the KKK are actually liberals because they were made up of Democrats in the 1860s.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I have a giant shit-eating grin right now as I overhear a die-hard republican co-worker trying to convince another one this is still a horse race and Trump has at least a 50% chance of winning.

Sorry bro

Florida to jump off the tweet that was just posted

@Timodc Tim Miller Retweeted Adam Smith
To put a finer point on it.

Mitt lost Florida in 12 + 3 point drop in GOP absentee from 12 to 16 + Trump doing worse w/ indies = disaster

Trump really sounds like a child throwing a tantrum with those tweets, and I really hope we get an early call with Florida with those numbers.

This is the 21st Century replacement for Brooks, Ross "Chunky Reese Witherspoon" Douthat. But if you haven't had your morning coffee, it's easy to confuse the two, because they're basically writing the same column.

The Leninist streak of, "TRUE Conservatism cannot fail, only be failed" after they and their mini-me's cheered on the invasion or Iraq, only to turn around a decade later to lament the obvious outcomes, and skyrocketing costs, is sickening.

The cocktail circuit Conservatives might just be more contemptible than Trump's Flyover Country fans, at least those folks work for a living and came by their stupidity honestly, not because they're being paid to ignore what they learned in some of America's most prestigious schools and institutions.

CHUCK TODD:

I'm curious if as a Catholic, you were offended by one of the WikiLeaks that came out of, it was an email exchange that included the campaign spokesperson Jennifer Palmieri, one person wrote that-- referring to Rupert Murdoch, for instance, that they are both Catholic, that they are attracted to the faith because of the quote, "systemic thought and severely backward gender relations."

And then Jennifer Palmieri reportedly weighs in, "I imagine they think it is the most socially-acceptable, politically-conservative religion, their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals." Did that bother you as a Catholic, Senator?

SEN. TIM KAINE:

Well, you know, first, I don't know whether, you know, those folks wrote those emails or not, so I really can't comment on the attribution of them.

CHUCK TODD:

But a lot of Catholic-Americans have heard that. And some of them are offended by it. What do you say to them?

SEN. TIM KAINE:

Here's what I say to them. Hillary Clinton's feeling about faith and about Catholicism in particular is most demonstrated by the fact that she asked me to be a running mate. And she described one of the reasons that she felt a connection with me was because of my own faith background, my missionary service in Honduras, and my Jesuit education, which she felt was a pretty close match in some ways for her Methodist upbringing. That is the most direct evidence about what Hillary thinks about Catholics.

Yeah, whoops, I meant Douthat.
