I also love how Nate Cohn is being a bro and re-tweeting Harry's plea for a date. XD

I'm not sure. This is the great swing state of Connecticut, so....what plays well there may not play well in the safe blue state of Ohio...

He will do the bold play of calling New Haven Pizza the best styled pizza in the world. While it will make him lose his secret states of New York and Illinois, it will gain him Conn and won't do enough damage in Michigan to lose it. Though if he eats it with a fork and knife again he will lose everyone, its a bold play.

Newt and Geraldo have already been talking about "Hillary killed DNC staffer Seth Rich" in vague terms so that's where Trump goes next probably.
Nobody's really listening to it for news and analysis. I'm sure most of the people who would listen are political geeks like us who are already listening to a lot of real news and analysis. It's just a way to connect with the base, and it's no more 'manufactured' than your average political rally.
Another rally? Does he think that is all he needs to do?

Trump doesn't give a shit about winning. All he cares about this massive new following that's he's been able to amass.

The Podcast is also positioned as an inside look into the campaign. This was Hillary's take on the campaign. They'll probably talk to a bunch of different people like Daddy Mook. Maybe get Bill in there for ra special six hour long episode. I think Dad shows up too at some point.
this one is in the great battleground state Connecticut
Surprised no one has picked Oklahoma yet. According to the four trackers listed by the NYT, it's the reddest state overall.

Sure, I have Slate, 538, NPR, Axelrod, and HuffPo on my app. I still liked hers. I just hope they do it pretty frequently.
Ultimately I think the rallies are done to assuage his need for adulation. That's why he's not trying to expand his base--they're already showing up to his rallies and hanging on his every word. That's why he's doing pointless rallies in Connecticut; there's a fundraiser nearby, imposed on him by the party, and the rallies are for his own enjoyment. And that's why, if his polls stay the same or continue to tank, his need for validation (and so, rallies) will increase.

What are your feelings on stump speeches?
Also all this bullshit about Hillary being boring, cold and humourless person.
I don't get it.
The person in this interview is both interesting, warm and FUNNY.
She IS a person I would like to sit down and have a beer or play games with(board games, but the point still stands)

Aaaand, she does SARCASM and IRONY right !

Because politicians get judged when they work large crowds.

If I lose Maryland and Hawaii, it's because Clinton cheated.
Yup. Clinton's actual personality seems to be way, way snarkier than you can get away with in front a camera or crowd.

In small groups, she's super duper charming. She's not a big crowd person. It's not a good fit for her personality. People, like myself, who have to know everything, have to be in control aren't always great in appearing personable to a large group of people. The thing is, Hillary knows this. It's why she mentioned it in her speech that the public part of public service has always been harder for her.
I also think there's a level of sexism under the surface that people just don't pick up on. I don't think it's something people are even aware of. Hillary consistently does things that we don't expect women (and people with her life story) to do.
Seeing a female presidential candidate on the stump is new for most people. There's basically her and...um....her. (Especially for people in the 18-29 age group).
I assume Katrina Pearson still has a job because the person she works for actually thinks she's doing well in these disastrous TV spots. Reminds me of the scene from the Simpsons:

Trump firing someone for being incompetent would be the literal definition of irony.
I agree, but I also think she has proven herself to be a GREAT public speaker many times.
This one for instance

Hillary's best speech was her SC victory speech in 2016.

Or her concession/convention speech in 2008...but the SC speech was damn good.

How long till he says New York? Kind of surprised he hasn't already.
I don't think he realizes NY hates him yet, he's always been a bit slow on the uptake.

Hands down.
watching it now, and just seconds in, she already exudes something I have yet to see Trump do at all
genuine appreciation,pride and happyness
edit : she talks and looks like a WE, not a ME

When you get to the mother of the movement part, you'll know why this is my favorite Hillary speech.
Anybody else notice a weird strain of anti-maternal projection among the millennial anti-Hillary crowd? Especially when alt-right kids prattle on about how she'll ban video games and keep weed illegal.
I have a confession to make.
I was too busy drinking tears and jumping around over her crushing ~50 point margin to watch the whole speech live.
I actually agree with this!

Who would you take as president:
A): 22 year old NFL #1 pick, LA Rams QB Jared Goff.
Pros: None
Cons: Thinks sun rises in West, arguably most obnoxious person possible
http://deadspin.com/man-jared-goff-loves-brands-1773751328
B): Donald Trump

Yea. The alt-right kids are just that: kids. Either they're too young to know better or never bothered growing up at all. So when mom comes along and tries to get them to do their homework they throw a fit.
Trump bout to fuck up and talk about this on some : " many people say he was..."

The fuck is wrong with people? Seriously?
My mom had a very simple homework policy....do your homework...or, you know, don't and go get the wooden spoon. Hahaha. Luckily, I was an anal student, so I always had my homework did. And it was did right, henny.

Every so often you realize that many of them are actually children
Yup, a lot of these people are kids who have never had to deal with the outside world before. They live in homogeneous communities and either have never even met a person of color or are looking for someone to blame for their own lack of accomplishment instead of wondering what they could have done better.
Also, Vegeta was part of a mixed-race (literally mixed-race) relationship and has a mixed-race kid. That's kind of the wrong picture to use there all things considered.
People are crazy.
This is excellent. When she goes into "storytelling" mode, she's really really good. That's why she does small gatherings.
"If you look at our platform, our platform, if you really look at it -- believe me, I've read it, it's great -- we're gonna come out for later bedtimes. It's gonna be great, you have no idea, it'll be 11 o'clock. At night! 11 o'clock at night, and we're all gonna be up. The whole night, if we want it. And Hillary, she'll make bedtimes earlier, and baths! You look back, and the data is there to support it, believe me, it's there, you'll see that Hillary was actually there at the beginning. She invented bath time, otherwise why would she hide her e-mails? And we're gonna build a fort, and Mom's gonna pay for the pillows. Dad's? Eh, dad's are okay, some of them are good people. Maybe."

god i really hate 4chan sometimes
I'm sure you were.
On a somewhat related note, today there was an article posted in the largest (non tabloid-y) newspaper in Sweden about the Trump campaign. Titled "The rage of Trump persists as support falters", it included such lovely highlights as:
Oh and I can't leave you without:
Below stands yet another young guy with a shirt that has a big picture of Trumps face and the text Fuck your feelings.
It is a pretty damn good article, (for anyone capable of reading Swedish or wanting to mangle it through google translate it is available here). The writer of that article also has a book on Clinton out, In which he describes her as one of the most idealistic politicians in America, but also one of the most cynical". Found that quite striking.
What the fuck was that? What a fucking weirdo piece of crap.Every so often you realize that many of them are actually children
The realization hits one that many of them will never grow up and remain bitter, vile jerkasses.
