And why would I be excited about Final Fantasy whatever number? I like good games. Unless they're making a new Crystal Chronicles game.....I'll pass. (And if it's on Wii U day-1)

Toomey is in a hilariously tough spot in PA. Trump is a lose/lose. Endorsing him hurts him, openly separating himself from Trump hurts him. He's been trying to stay somewhere in the middle and that needs to be pushed on hard.

Donald stronking his dick after his Fox appearance apparently.

Donald needs more affirmation from people that like him than I do, and I have no confidence, self-esteem, and actively seek affirmation that I am a decent person.

What is appealing to white evangelicals about Trump? His views on reproductive rights are flimsy at best. He isn't religious

The Supreme Court and not vetoing conservative bills that pass through congress.
Also, a lot of them believe that the Democratic party in general and Hillary in particular are anti Christian.

a lot of Catholics and religious AA's are Democrats. What a weird thing for R's to believe.

I hated the combat in all the demos. It's like a poorly implemented and confusing poor man's version of Dragon's Dogma combat with standard SE character design more concerned with showing off the latest leather creations from New York Fashion Week than conveying actual character through costuming.

Don't diss NY fashion week lol. Fashion industry doing plenty better than what FF15 is using.

Keep in mind that ultimately your tastes would differ from mine. I only suggested waiting in case of technical trouble.

It's not weird at all when you consider that Christian/Evangelical is code for White Nationalism to a lot of the right.

I grew up religious. I come from a religious family. I lived in a very religious neighborhood. The majority of black people in this country do.

Neither me, my family, or my (former) congregation have ever felt considered by when the term Evangelical is used in politics. And we're all Democrats. Wonder why that is...

I guess one way to make up for a candidate who's not a Christian is to literally say the opponent has ties to satan

Not everyone vote based on those issues. My point is that I think it's pretty clear what a Trump presidency brings to the table for people who prioritize banning abortions and gay marriage.

They voted for Romney and many evangelical sees the church of LDS as a cult.

Yup I believe many Latinos and African Americans belong to evangelical churches but it common parlance it's white who cant identify themselves as white so they use the evangelical name.

Notice how there's the common I'm a "Christian, Conservative and Republican in that order"?

It's signaling they belong to their tribe "white/real Americans people", not a statement of theology.

They're not particularly more conservative on religious issues. They just really hate gays and Muslims.

Real evangelicals are a much smaller group

Given the speech she gave praises the police etc for their efforts and bravery that night, I'm sure she'll be just fine. The more you can get Trump yelling at Muslim parents the better I think. I don't think this plays too badly at all.

Polls that ask stupid statements like "do you think X is the devil" rarely tell you anything of use. Most people know they're stupid questions and give a correspondingly stupid answer. If you polled it, 68% of Democrats would probably say Obama was made of unicorn farts if asked. (I mean, I would. Wouldn't you guys?).

That said, there are some terrifying figures in those cross-tabs regardless.

How many people would have recognized this guy? Are the people who sit in the background individually selected to sit there? Unless he was put there intentionally, I don't see a problem.

But I have no doubt that right wing media will hammer this. Wouldn't be surprised to see Trump tweeting about it either.

Some of the quotes from other articles make it sound like a hard story to run with as some sort of negative.
Asked by a reporter why he attended Mrs. Clinton’s rally near Orlando, Mr. Mateen replied, “I spoke a lot about that and wish that my son joined the Army and fought ISIS. That would be much better.”

When the reporter asked if Mr. Mateen thought people would be surprised to see him at the rally, he replied, “Why should they be surprised? I love the United States, and I’ve been living here a long time.”

Lots of Republican writers have jumped on the delusion bandwagon that "the only reason Trump is doing so well despite being a fascist is because the left has criticized prior Republicans so Republican voters don't take writers seriously anymore!"

And I'm like "dumbfuck, you've argued that Obama is a Socialist and gun-grabber and yet the Democrats haven't nominated someone who wants to seize all guns and the means of production."

In fact, Gary Johnson ($15K) and Jill Stein ($189K) campaigns are outspending Trump camp ($0) over the airwaves

At this rate, the Clinton campaign should just spend the $5 dollars and blanket the Plains states with radio ads just for the hell of it.

I guess you could say it's sexist to associate all women with child-rearing, but would you really want Jeffrey Lord up there?

It's crazy it's actually coming out. I was lurking Gaf back when it was announced and was beyond hyped for it (it was one of the reasons I got a PS3 lol). I'm just going to wait for reviews since I haven't really liked a FF game since XII and SE's output has been pretty iffy lately. I dig the aesthetics and "road trip" theme, I just hope everything else is actually good.

Anyone in PoliGAF pick up No Man's Sky? I played for a bit last night and I'm really enjoying it so far. It seems pretty overwhelming right now.

I can see people trying to make this blow up. It was his son yes. He's saying the right things in those quotes. Is she to police everyone that attends a rally even though it's open to the public? Maybe not let him get in view but that's assuming they knew he'd be there in the first place and even recognized him. It's nothing Hillary did wrong here. Yet I see she will be blamed anyway ugh. Has Fox News started running this on a loop yet? Ugh.
