this is a really good speech, totally defining him as a con man

Hillary's economic theories are questionable (though MMT should be dragged until more evidence appears in support of it), but I think most people will like and agree with this speech.

Both are correct, actually.
She's got jokes, daaamn.

Yes, but pick one and use it consistently lol
He used both spellings in the same Tweet.
Also I was once docked points in English for mispelling it, because I used judgement. So I'm kind of bitter about judgement spelling.

I'm waiting for Trump to reply with the "one big titty, one little titty" joke now.

Yes at least 3 consecutive tweets calling Clinton without the "Crooked".

can someone remind me the last time Trump was actually on the offensive?

I can't agree with this attitude. Racism is a learned behavior, brought on by isolation and ignorance, and supported by those who would enflame hatred to their own means. Do you honestly believe that poor whites are natively inferior to everybody else? Discussing poor whites as a morally bankrupt people beyond salvation is unfounded, because many poor white people are not bigots, counter-productive, because the causes of bigotry are not addressed. Perhaps most importantly, treating poor white racism as an isolated and spontaneous problem completely absolves those who instigate and profit from racism.
Much like far-right Islam, white supremacy and other forms of bigotry are illegitimate responses to legitimate grievances. Poor whites are absolutely underserved by our government, but the Republican Party has gained their support using hateful tactics that Democrats find abhorrent. We don't to love the white poor, and we absolutely should not tolerate their bigotry, but these generalizing attitudes -- which often permeate politics -- prevent real change from coming to poor white communities.

Trump being so shook that he gave his Twitter account to an RNC dude is probably a good sign for Hillary.

I am "the king of debt."That has been great for me as a businessman, but is bad for the country. I made a fortune off of debt, will fix U.S.
Ok..... how is that disproving her?

My biggest takeaway here is that, between that fundraising email and the rapid response going on here, it looks like Manafort really is turning Trump's campaign into a relatively real thing. They're doing campaign things! They are using staffers for jobs! They are providing a coherent rebuttal message! It may not be perfect but it's an attempt and that's actually a big improvement.
Next step is to see whether anybody comes out on CNN or with statements defending Donald Trump. Manafort should at the very least be throwing Chris Christie out there on some talking head shows. I mean what the hell else is he good for?

Link the dumpster fire, chosen Trump, and succeed Lord Bush as the King of Debt.
Trump has got to be the biggest fucking dumbass of all time to think this was a good idea. This was literally the dumbest thing he could say in rebuttal.

This was originally supposed to be his message. I remember this coming up during the debates. "I know the problems America has with regulation because I took advantage of those problems to get super rich. So hire me and I will prevent others from doing it!"

This is great. Really loving how her campaign is being run.

Yeah, it's a real campaign. Or like, one that should placate the Republican donor class. I don't think it'll actually work, but it's what I expected from Trump at this point.
Reports are tomorrow he's finally gonna give his anti-Hillary speech.
He's just been biding his time for the past couple of months. Now's the perfect time to strike! Genius!

What can he possibly say in an anti-Hillary speech that would even matter?

This speech helps Hillary lay the groundwork for calling Wall St. donors' bluff. She's going to choose Warren as her VP and then say "you can choose me, or Trump. Your choice."
Let me put it this way - racist attitudes don't exist in a vaccum. Because American society is built upon white supremacist foundations, white supremacist attitudes are absorbed unconsciously by most white people. Even consciously racist attitudes don't emerge by choice. In communities where explicit anti-blackness and xenophobia are just a facet of daily life, it's difficult to grow past these attitudes.
Pretending that those of us who are not racist are better human beings is idiotic and offensive. Racists are normal people acculturated in environments that breed hatred. Trying to correct racist behavior without addressing the external causes of racism doesn't seem to be effective.

The next next step is to see whether Trump gets bored, frustrated, or impatient with this before the end of the week.

Apparently he's going to quote the Secret Service agent that wrote that anti-Hillary book.
Still a dumpster fire!
I can't realistically see how Trump makes it to the convention at this point with any support beyond the voters. Like this is insane. Heard on NPR yesterday that he was basically ready to go it alone. I believe it with shit like this dropping left and right.
The man is wildly out of his depth, this is crazy.

This one is actually a good image.
The point of my avatar is usually to have something quite disturbingly hilarious to look at.
I mean I wouldn't mind a clinton bill avatar but it's really way less fun than that horrible Trump photoshop.
Have you heard of this little old thing known as Whitewater? I hear it's bad news for her. Sad!

I have doubts about the realness of any campaign that only starts to get built at the end of June. It'll be interesting to see how the fundraising, staffing, and ad buy numbers have changed when the convention starts less than four weeks from now. It'll also be interesting to see whether Manafort gets fired after Trump follows his advice and still is persistently trailing Hillary in the polls. I don't think Trump has the patience to cope with that.
Who has already been denounced as a fraud.
Clinton has a lot of momentum right now - even if he threw everything at Hillary from the 90s on, I don't think it'd work. At worst, she comes out looking better than Trump because she's not racist and has a ton of experience. At best, he insults her personally, and she gets even more support.
