At what point does the next oppo dump on Trump or shitty comment that Trump makes just spark boredom?

True. His campaign could flame out and the RNC could step in and revamp it. It's still quite early. I have a feeling that his campaign will become so dire that they won't have a choice.

This bothers me because it potentially gives Sanders supporters more ammo. If Clinton doesn't beat him tomorrow and let's say it's 51-49 Sanders and then she beats him Wednesday morning with absentee ballots, imagine even more FRAUD claims. Ugh

This is so great

All of those guys who were starting to back Trump because "he's the nominee" and "we need to win" and "somehow what he's doing is working"

Are starting to realize

How completely screwed they are

What's nice is that since it is happening at the same time that the GOP embraces him, so it's not too late for them to turn around and leave him isolated and basically have thz GOP give up on the election.

Yup. Bush got about 40% of the Latino vote in 2004. He and his team understood that the Republican Party could no longer win with just white votes. But the party seems determined to burn down that bridge, because it's a strategy that worked so well for them in California.

I'm a little late replying to this, but I found a post by grandjedi6 in the PoliGAF thread that was during the actual Presidential election in November 2008 that gives links to the all the 2008 PoliGAF threads before it (including all the primaries, VP selections, conventions, and then debates):

Here's the next thread, the first post-election one:

The weighted clothes are finally come off of Obama, and he can rise up to his full power.

Man, I am hyped to see Obama absolutely obliterate Trump. It almost feels unfair to Trump that Clinton get Obama's beast mode on her side. Almost.

The truly truly insane part is this bit below, which someone else linked in PoliGAF earlier in the week

“Republicans didn’t have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians,” the real estate mogul-turned-reality TV star said.

“The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it,” Trump added. “They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind.”

Trump KNEW this was a problem, and he still did the stuff he did. It's really... weird. I don't believe he's a secret Democrat plant designed to destroy the GoP, but when someone says that jokingly... my mind always wonders a bit lol

Damn, Clinton's messaging/digital team is on-point..

(It's a video of Republicans condemning and/or tap dancing around Trump's judge comments.)

Her team is so goddamn good. Why won't she hire me

My favorite is still the long article of fact checking Trump's quotes that he said weren't true. It was just brutal.

Today Buzzfeed announced they won't accept ads for Trump this election season because he is too crazy and evil to be president. (Some paraphrasing.)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/kyleblaine...rty-over-trump?utm_term=.twAjdpkBz#.lgVBQoOZn

It's not a big move (it was only $1.3 million), but nice to see the corporate oligarchy in favor of human rights once again.
Click to expand...

That's actually really cool, and smart on their part. Not only does Trump's campaign not give Buzzfeed press credentials, he's said nonsense about expanding libel laws and weakening the press. The press SHOULD be doing what Buzzfeed is doing here.

Odds Trump self-destructs so bad that the RNC tries to parachute in a new candidate for the nomination at the convention and pry it away from Trump?

Buzzfeed can't cover Trump anyway.
They're literally blacklisted according to Keeping It 1600.
Cannot attend or cover any Trump stuff officially in person.

Well, I spent part of my morning arguing about the use of the word "presumptive."

For anyone in the same boat (and I bet there are some!), the media started calling Obama the presumptive nominee before Hillary conceded 2 days later.

I'm starting to think Trump doesn't want to run and he's firebombing his campaign so that the GOP picks another candidate at the convention.

But that won't happen.

Imagine this: the GOP disavows Trump, kicks him out, and present no candidate, thinking it might at least undermine Clinton's victory. Lol

Possible, he may have just wanted to go third party all along by taking a bite out of the GOP instead of starting from scratch.

But when he got the nom he probably thought he could win it.

I am curious to see what happens to Trump after a humiliating defeat. What will he turn into? What color will he be?

What if Sanders' plan is to hope that, by staying in the process until the convention on an excuse of "the supers haven't voted yet!" he will make the Democrats so mad at the stupidity of the process that they get rid of Superdelegates so that it can never be dragged out to the convention ever again?

Or they do the clever thing and keep superdelegates, but have a Super Primary where they vote some time before the convention.

It's like she was born to run against this guy. He's perfect for her. And she doesn't have to worry about hurting Trump's supporters' feelings. Fate!

So what does everyone expect tomorrow to play out? Does this seem like a good prediction?

New Jersey - Queen Hillary
New Mexico- Queen Hillary
California - Queen Hillary
Montana - Birdie
North Dakota - Birdie
South Dakota - Birdie

I honestly don't think I've see many polls for the last three states, so I'm only guessing they'll go to Sanders.

This actually makes me wonder whether, in the postmortem, we will find that Hillary being the presumptive nominee all the way since early 2015 is part of why the GOP went totally clownshoes in the primary.

That Clinton hysteria once again.

I think this is exactly right. The possibility of Clinton drove them to this (in addition to Obama anger). The irony being they probably had a shot of winning if they didn't go batshit and blinded with Clinton rage.

That's probably it. The GOP can't help themselves when it comes to the Clintons, they've got that Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS) really bad.
