“Our country becomes Venezuela” — Trump on what happens if Clinton wins


Trump has no idea why Venezuela is like it is confirmed.

He thinks Venezuela is where the Hunger Games takes place.

Who am I kidding, his use of the teleprompter illustrates he doesn't know how to read.
 
That's always been the case.

I mean, if she takes Fla, Co, and and Va, Trump can win Ohio, Pa,Ia, NV, NH, NC and still lose.

Basically, as long as I'm right about Florida not even being very swingy, it's already over.

Yep not even worried about Ohio though if Trump does win it it could be the start of a disturbing trend there.

Kasich is planning on supporting him right?

I suppose it's asking too much of the media to assume there was a follow up question.

Yep not even worried about Ohio though if Trump does win it it could be the start of a disturbing trend there.

Nope.

He isn't even going to the convention, which is in his state.

No. He's not. At least, as of last week he wasn't. I don't even think he's going to the convention. HE said he wasn't, but then said something about having events in Cleveland with Portman or something.

Trump veep talks:
DJT: "Newt might talk too much."
Manafort: "Nah. Real key is he opens Adelson's wallet."
DJT: "So I spend nada? Done."

LOL.

A side note: I watched Kaine's entire Univision interview earlier today. He came off well. Pretty damn plain (boring), but it made me wonder how long he'd fly under English-speaking media's radar if he were named VP and did regular appearances on Spanish-speaking media outlets.
 
I'm still failing to see any electoral path for Trump to win this election barring sweeping the swing states.
To be fair that was Romney's path as well.

I think there is some truth to the blue wall in close elections. If Clinton is winning the popular vote comfortably he doesn't have a chance.

No, he's just trying out what the line of attack he was going to use had Sanders won. Probably pissed he never got to use the "Bernie Chavez" nickname he was wetting himself to use.

BTW, watched Seth Meyers last night and Bryan Cranston was on.


He said not only is he a big Hillary supporter, he plans on stumping for her as well.

Hillary has Walter White. Nothing stops this train.

The dude played LBJ. He knows about getting stuff done, even if the sausage making isn't pretty. In fact, I attribute seeing him play the role on stage (damn straight, I saw it when it was in Boston) with making me appreciate political pragmatism a lot more, which is one of the things that made me a Hillary supporter early on.

Is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to apologize to me for her misconduct? Big mistake by an incompetent judge!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 31m31 minutes ago
If I win the Presidency, we will swamp Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions!

He cannot let ANYTHING GO.

It's amazing. You don't even have to say anything outrageous. Just little pokes and jabs and he just can't contain himself. He'll be talking about this for the next week.

What I don't get are the untrustworthy numbers. Especially after all the lies Trump has told, been called out and proven as well. There is no way it's all the emails with Hillary. How can Hillary move those numbers? Or are there things wrong with the polling when this question is asked or how the question is phrased?
 
Also, Dr. Jill Stein is a fucking mess.

THAT'S NOW HOW THIS WORKS.

She also said in an interview:

“There’s been an explosion of Berners coming in through every portal of the campaign, and it’s really exciting,” Stein told US Uncut in a phone interview. “There is so much courage out there to stand up to the marching orders handed down by the usual suspects.”

Bernie is supposedly the one who gave them their marching orders you wakadoo.

She has a vagina. Penises make you more trustworthy. That's why no one lies about them. Ever. EVER.
 
Also, Dr. Jill Stein is a fucking mess.

One of my socialist friends shared that USUncut article where she says "donations are up nearly 1000% since The Endorsement" (with a properly derisive caption) and my first reaction was to say "neat, so your donations went from $1 to $11"

Ya, $80,000 big ones. Whoo hoo.

I've never been on USUncut before. I....I don't think I want to go back.
 
We always talk about what the Dems should focus on if we get the House this election, but I'm interested in the nightmare scenario.

If Trump wins in Nov, they control all branches of the govt along with the Supreme Court too. Republicans have been talking about all of the crazy shit they want to do when they get in office for the past decade. What actually happens in the first two years of a completely controlled republican government?

When Trump has officially lost, I want Ginsburg to rub it in his face. I want her to literally say something along the lines of, "that bigot doesn't get to choose my replacement."

Trump will officially reveal his VP pick on Friday in New York, so start looking at flight information.

Wait a second... I'm going to be in New York on Friday. Could it be...?

On Friday? That's a dead media day.

Expect it tomorrow, probably in time for the evening news.

"Didn't you hear about the private email server? I mean... how could she. She lied to all of us. Did you know about Benghazi? I don't know much about it, but wow, people died and it's her fault."

Someone has said this to me before lol. Obviously anecdotal, but... it felt like a good representation of the average anti-Hillary voter

Looked in the DC Area? High cost of living but salaries should also be high to compensate.

A little bit, but not aggressively. I've heard the area is nice

Been picking a different city each day of the week on Indeed.com and doing dozens of apps to each. I'll def check DC listings tomorrow

Man, wouldn't it be great that after a governor or something fucked up a state's economy, they immediately resigned instead of staying on to fuck things up further?

The Democrats veto anything that's too crazy.

Just give it more time man. Those tax cuts and spending cuts will spur growth any minute now.

Why don't you understand how our government works?

The filibuster can be eliminated at any time.
Not only can they eliminate the filibuster but due to having control of the supreme court they could implement draconian measures to keep democrats from being elected throughout the country. For example a national voting ID requirement that favors a particular group that overwhelmingly vote republican.

One criminal kingpin who managed to evade the law countless times supporting another? Not shocking in the least.

She just has to wait a few months and she won't have to worry about dealing with him.

One thing I do like about this episode: she's pretty much removed any doubt about her intentions for next year, should Hillary win.

I'm trying to imagine this from her perspective.. she's written or co-signed a lot of really notable, bitter dissenting opinions over the past few decades. She's been waiting for this chance to re-direct things for a looooong time. When Hillary names her replacement, I hope she's at the swearing-in ceremony so that she can revel in the moment.
