This man is such a fucking clown.
And his supporters are fucking lemmings.
Another voting rights victory.
Katrina Pierson on CNN defended Trump's name calling as being different from Obama calling him a demagogue because Trump is just a businessman running for president while Obama is the actual president.
Trumps speech last week drew 32.2 million people when Fox Business, CNBC, Univision and NBC Universo were added to the total, and 34.1 million with PBS included as well. Clinton gets much closer with those added in, totalling 30 million without PBS and 33.9 million viewers with it.
I wonder if Manafort has bitten off more than he can swallow with this hack.
There will be serious investigations into them. If he's linked to it, he better hope he's covered his tracks.
I forget his name, but a Republican strategist on MSNBC had a good point. If someone in Trumps hierarchy gets rejected for security clearance that information is going to become public and hurt his campaign. Never really thought about that from all Russia stuff recently.
Dudes. I'm going to be 25 feet from Hillary.
I've been trying to play out in my head how this would actually go.
Does Hillary walk out? Does the moderator end the debate? Does the moderator kick Trump out and Hillary stays and just answers questions? Is it awkward as fuck and just gets glossed over?
a lot of people there?
I could see Manafort being dumped if they get wind he won't pass security clearance to avoid just that.
Oh fuck.
Manafort might get rejected for security clearance. Holy. Shit.
I don't think there are direct links between Putin and Trump. I do think that Putin favors and is trying to help Trump. I think Trump likes Russia because they stroke his ego and loan him cash money when US banks wont.
But Manafort is this big questionable hire because of his connections to the Russians and the Russians backed in the Ukraine. I don't think Manafort is working for the Russians mind you, but the ties he has are not a good look.
BUT. BUT. Manafort probably can't get security clearance because of his ties to anti-Western leadership in the Balkins. Which is going to send up a god damned flashing alarm to middle America. Why does this guys camapaign manager not pass US security clearance? Oh shit, Putin? Didn't they hack the DNC? Didn't trump as them to hack Hillary? Didn't he say we shouldn't back NATO? Didn't he say we should lift sanctions and gift them Crimea?
It's going to allow a lot of people to draw some connections that Trump really ought not want drawn.

Yeah security was slow when I saw her in Sacramento too.The staging area is already full and lined up way down the street and it doesn't even start until 830. Big hold up at security.
Any update on DNC ratings for last night? It was to my understanding they weren't complete?
It honestly blew my mind when he mentioned it. It's something that I would never even think of. It may not just be Manafort either they mentioned someone else with ties to Russia in Trumps campaign, but I couldn't remember who. Although, I may be mixing what I have been reading and just connecting the dots. When he started talking about security clearances the light bulb went off in my head. Shit is just crazy. Who is the Trump camp could smell the trouble of him failing the security clearance though? I doubt they have anyone who is savvy enough to see just how catastrophic that would look. Right now they believe he can dodge and deflect anything. It's also the first time I have even heard anyone mention this. This seems like something that could easily sneak up on a campaign that just isn't run well.
Black Mamba posted it a little earlier, 34.1 million for Trump vs. 33.9 million for Hillary. Almost even
Why don't they fucking add this??Considering there was a quarter million on YouTube and Trump only got like 17K there, it's arguable that Clinton had more watching her, but it was almost completely even, yes.
If he's not part of the group that gets the debriefs, he doesn't have to pass a security clearance. It's not mandatory for the campaign manager to go to these debriefs.Oh fuck.
Manafort might get rejected for security clearance. Holy. Shit.

By November, Hillary's team will have enough material on hand to run ads that will actually convince Republican voters that Trump is actually a joke character and that he's doing this simply to see how far he can go, driven by the contempt he has for the average joe. I think if you really run with that line of attack, it can be devastating. There is nothing his voters would be afraid more of than the possibility that any minute now Trump will come out and announce it was a big joke, utterly humiliating them. It would work.
It wasn't emails stolen, just some analytics, so we don't need to panic about some stupid "October surprise"
The optics of Trump asking them to hack her and then them hacking her are going to look terrible.
For Trump, I mean. It's going to fuel conspiracy theories, whether there's Russian connections to his campaign or not.
The analytics might be titled berniesucks.xls
Listening to Keepin' It 1600, Favs and Pfeiffer heard that Donald has NOT engaged with the Clinton campaign about the debates and there's a thought that maybe he won't agree to them.

So, pretty much dead even not including web streaming.
I could see Trump only agreeing to one debate, but I don't believe he'll refuse to debate at all.
