THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Sure he had Clinton in the last tweet but so no one would suspect trump in this one
They have a lot of power to destroy the GOP.
Why does Trump give a shit about that?
Like in the hypothetical situation where a bunch of GOP politicians switch away and endorse Johnson or whatever, what happens to Trump? He loses the election? He's already going to do that and he doesn't believe it!

Easier to beat, but his campaign is more dangerous for the country whether or not he wins.

As I've argued in a few times this thread already, I'm saying the point at which Paul Ryan and thee GOP is worried about his seat / their seats is either already behind him or will be in the next few days.
You have to look at this in a politically fatalistic way: Paul Ryan (and the GOP establishment) is fucked either way. When you're fucked either way, what do you do?
Well.

Time is ticking, GOP. You know how this ends.

I stand by this belief. Cruz is far savvier and would've made an actual attempt at pivoting, and he'd have a robust organization and the full force of the party behind him.

Trump's bad week came at a perfect time with the DNC email poo problem falling off the news radar and more focussed on Trump chaos instead
HRC is so lucky that Trump is goofing it up. IMO, I am convinced that a generic Republican would have given her more trouble and have angled their attacks better.
Trump being a nutter is making HRC's life easier

because the GOP is already destroyed. Everyone can see it, them most of all.

Even with all of the bad polling from this week the Upshot gives Clinton less than a 20% chance to win any of Arizona, Indiana, or Missouri. So taking all three would require Trumpocalypses almost every week until the election.
How do you do, fellow kids? Was this posted? This thread is moving fast, and my reflexes aren't as good as they used to be.

I agree with you there, and Ryan was just an example, but everything is up in the air this year. If I was advising him for his own benefit (not what I actually want), I'd tell him to keep repudiating him, but not stepping over the un-endorsing line.

If this continues, even fuckin' Texas is up for grabs.
Clinton's biggest problem right now is complacency.
Getting a full court for the fall session would be huge.

For a guy who went to Harvard law, it is impressive how well he's transitioned into "Mr. Relatable." What a win, especially given the contrast to the competition. I wanted Warren but now I am totally sold on Kaine. I am sorry I ever doubted Hillary on this.Hillary for Virginia just tweeted an article with this image:
They know. O.O

Obviously running against a legit crazy person has simplified Clinton's message. I do give her credit for using this time a chance to cut out all of the potential problems from the DNC. If wikileaks drops more bombs her campaign can say they already addressed the problem.
Indeed. She's at her worst when she is ahead, historically.
They know Hillary will win, and a relatively old Centre left judge is a damn sight better deal than a strong left 40 year old who Hillary could push through. Either way they lose the court for a decade (or more), but at least they don't lose it for an entire generation.

Given medical advances Garland could be one the bench 15 - 20 years. Think about all of the decisions he could have flipped this session alone. Take the win man.
Did you sleep through the last two days?
Well yeah, I just meant that I figured they'd wait until we get a bit closer to the election.

Unless I am misunderstanding, this is a quote from the 90s, not today. It's Hatch talking about Garland being appointed to a lower court.

Right, I agree. But your argument was that Trump is dependent on establishment GOP support. I don't think this is true in any meaningful way, so I wanted you to explain why. Like definitely he needs them if he were going to win the election, but everybody knows he isn't going to.
Oh crap, you're right. *redfaced*
I'm a bit skeptical that they'd move on his nomination before the election.. their base would go ballistic.

yeah at this point I'm hoping those fools stick to their guns on this one.
Garland better be a cyborg with 40 years left in him or Obama's legacy is ruined
(yea I will take Garland over 4-4 court any day of the week)

I think that Hatch quote is from when Garland was nominated for DC Court
Heh, knew it.

I don't blame you. Nothing is beyond belief right now. I was under the impression Melania had said she wouldn't vote for Trump on feminist principles for like a week until I realized it was an April fool's joke.

This is the best.
Also this article led me to this amazing piece -
Mysterious Disappearance Of Donald Trump’s Cement Handprints.
So like usually I would dismiss such stories as tabloid bullshit, but I have to say, there's a non negligible chance that he ripped his handprints from the Trump tower because little Marco got in his head.
I got excited too, but the Hatch quote is from 1990's files just released by the Clinton Library. Hatch hasn't had a change of heart; the papers just reveal that the GOP thought Garland was a perfectly fine judge back in the day.

Even Trump's supporters are getting frustrated with him. I decided to look through Trump's latest facebook posts and this comment on a post he made about an hour ago has over 1,000 likes.
person on facebook said:
Axelrod said something quite a few months ago that was instructive. He said that the campaign is a crucible and every campaign will be tested severely; that in that moment the strength and infrastructure of the campaign is at its most important, and that your relationships with the party and voters are paramount. It's not just how the candidate handles it, but the candidate's underlying support. Without that support, you may not be able to pick yourself up.
For Hillary (so far), the low point was the FBI press conference, but a successful DNC (both for the TV audience and for Bernie outreach) seems to have reset that.
For Trump, this may be that same moment.

It looks like they're including the money raised for the RNC in this total, not just the Trump campaign itself.

Trump's pulling in OK money if that's true, but he isn't booking television spots with it. All the money in the world won't help him if he doesn't have a place to spend it. Hill is booking stuff all over the place.
But then there this...

Speaking of.. Priorities USA is following Team Clinton's lead, cutting back on its spending in Colorado.

I bet Trump is one of those old guys who talks to the TV and yells at news anchors, even when nobody else is in the room.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
In reference to those polling numbers about the rich favoring Hillary, I'm not surprised at all. Trump's entire campaign in the primaries was catered toward the poor, white, rural voter who feels that they have no say in government.
