CNN is really going in on Trump already regretting Pence and the general strangeness surrounding this whole thing.

I'm not sure what Trump hopes to gain by doubling down on bigotry while also picking someone who contradicts him on so much of his (being generous here) policy.

Trump has

1) No proper GOP support
2) No idea how to politics
3) No idea what the fuck he is doing in general

To think his VP pick was going to go smoothly flies in the face of everything we have seen of him.

Dat logo tho

Timeless. Not even kidding, it's the worst campaign logo in US national politics. Ever.

Watch Trump be Trump and end up changing his VP in like a month. He's such a fuckwit

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Bah, does Chelsea Clinton need a headlining spot? There's already Bill, I'd rather Hillary demonstrate the breadth of her support outside family as a contrast to Trump needing to heavily rely on his brood instead of real leaders to stump for him.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't be impressed but it's really remarkable to me that he seems to have no ability to think objectively, even when given all the time he needs.

NBC is repeating the allegation. Beautiful.

If the past 48 hours is any indication of how he and his folks will handle the pressure of the big moments that are ahead? whee..

Sources tell me @realDonaldTrump was on phone till midnight making calls, asking if he could change course on VP pick

Yep, didn't doubt it with one source, his hesitation yesterday was obvious.

Wonder if someone other than Trump paid for the private jet.

Springtime for Trump truly is worth some kind of an award.

Amazing how little effort the campaign puts into anything. It's the perfect example of the GOP today. What a mess.

Clinton’s General Election Strategy


  • Woo Bernie supporters by becoming 30 percent more curmudgeonly
  • Delete folder on laptop titled “Liabilities 1998-2006”
  • Preempt Trump’s wild conspiracy theories by clarifying exactly which former aides committed suicide and which did not
  • Targeted TV ads that remind viewers she can win this thing without their vote if she has to
  • Surprise loyal supporters by dropping into a few quarterly earnings meetings unannounced
  • Go window-to-window in key districts to glare at undecided voters
  • Relax and continue being the trusted, affable woman everyone knows and loves

Libertarian vice presidential nominee Bill Weld on Thursday called the Republican delegates who added an anti-pornography measure to the GOP platform “hypocritical” and the “very worst of the movement conservative.”

Appearing on the Michael Smerconish Show, Weld was asked about the NY Times’ report on the anti-porn measure and it being called “a text that can seem almost Victorian in its moralizing.”

“No, I don’t think pornography is a public health crisis,” Weld told the Michael Smerconish Show on SiriusXM radio channel 124. “You know what those Victorians did when they got home after being, lording it over everybody about pornography.”

HRC is conducting meetings at her Washington home today about her running mate selection, according to a source familiar with the process.

Top campaign aides John Podesta and Huma Abedin have been here all day. SUVs coming in via private gate throughout.

Elizabeth Warren met with Hillary Clinton at her DC home today during a string of VP meetings in the final stretch to an announcement

The meeting between Warren & Clinton lasted about an hour. Similar meetings have taken place all day behind closed doors

So, can we assume that Trump delayed today's announcement because of his hesitation and a last minute attempt to change things (as in it had zilch to do with Nice)?

Just respond by telling them the differences in wealth has always been exponential so it's only fair that taxes follow an exponential model.

Also ask them if they know how marginal tax rates work, when they inevitably say no explain that everyone IS taxed the same in terms of income tax, it's just that the marginal tax rates only apply to income after the margins.
