Lol, Cohen is such an asshole and major Putin apologist. He's been on Fareed Zakaria multiple times during the Ukraine invasion and has NOTHING negative to say about Russia or Putin. I'm all for trying to look at the world through Russia's eyes every once and a while to see how NATO must feel to them, but Cohen goes so far over the line. I'd hate to be stuck in one of his classes.

I remember the first time I found myself on zerohedge. Someone on GAF had linked to it as proof of some insane conspiracy theory. I clicked the link, took a look around, and then took a shower because I felt that dirty having read it. If I didn't know better I'd say it was a parody site.

See @maggieNYT> "asked what he would say to the grieving father,Mr. Trump replied,'I’d say, ‘We’ve had a lot of problem with radical islam'"

I need a check on if Hitler was more willing to praise Jewish German veterans of WW1 than Trump will praise Muslim veterans.

Zero Hedge showed up really high on the search times list when I typed zero. Must be popular!

Oh look, I guess I should buy gold.

While some Trump aides insist CO is in play, several Rs close to campaign think it's gone

Even as Mr. Trump has ticked up in national polls in recent weeks, senior Republicans say his path to the 270 Electoral College votes needed for election has remained narrow — and may have grown even more precarious. It now looks exceedingly difficult for him to assemble even the barest Electoral College majority without beating Hillary Clinton in a trifecta of the biggest swing states: Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Click to expand...

In addition, Trump allies have grown concerned about North Carolina, a Republican-leaning state that has large communities of black voters and college-educated whites — two audiences with which Mr. Trump is deeply unpopular.
Click to expand...

While Mr. Trump is not ready to give up entirely on any of the major battlegrounds, advisers have become increasingly convinced that his most plausible route to the presidency, and perhaps his only realistic victory scenario, involves capturing all three of the biggest electoral prizes on the map, and keeping North Carolina in the Republican column.

There is no imminent plan, Trump advisers say, to match Mrs. Clinton’s spending on television ads. Instead, they intend to aim Mr. Trump like a battering ram at a small number of targets, to keep delivering his provocative message on trade, terrorism and immigration.

Apparently some Dem insiders are speculating that this Khan thing will be Trump's final downfall. Don't know if that's the case, but at the very least it will get lots of play. Ads are no doubt being story boarded.

Why would this be his downfall? He has to lose his most ardent supporters and he can only do that by saying jk on the wall, black people are not lazy, most Muslims are peaceful, and Hillary is pretty great.

No single issue will be Trump's downfall.

It has to be death by 100,000 cuts. It would be silly to think this one thing, while it will be an effective issue going forward, will be enough.

Cuban is killing it. I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but he's a great surrogate. He should definitely be deployed frequently to shore up PA.

Trump won't lose his most ardent supporters and beating him does not involve that happening. All it takes is making sure he loses in his worst performing demos by large enough margins and winning undecideds. No one is going to take racist white voters away from Trump.

Just like the ads targeting suburban white women or military veterans, it isn't about winning over Trump's most reliable demos, it's about turning everyone else.

He would also be the type of person that appeals to the type of people that like Trump. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing though.

Yeah but unlike Trump, Mark Cuban actually did start from nothing. I think Cuban and Bloomberg are just getting annoyed that a shitty orange cheeto that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth is acting like the champion of little man.
