Okay, so here's the thing, there are no good Republicans. The strategy for 2018 shouldn't be to flip Republicans but to make them too ashamed to come out to vote.
Disgusting.

Clemson is an ACC team even though they're in the Deep South.
It gets confusing, South Carolina is more "South" than Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri, but well....

I actually don't know if Clemson is any better than Alabama.
Just as much racist shit goes on at that campus than at Alabama. (See: Tillman Hall).

I mean, they're both schools in the Deep South.
But Alabama is the New England of college football (expect far more dominant) so they are the team everyone roots against.

I wouldn't call Alabama the New England of college sports.
They are dominant yes, but they haven't been caught in any cheating scandals. Plus, their fans are pretty mild (just look at the cfb-gaf Alabama fans).
Hell, anecdotally speaking, Clemson fans are bigger asses than Bama fans.
If you want a New England equivalent at the college level, that would be Penn State making the championship game.

Super mild, yes.
For the record, in my experience Bama fans do not have a higher concentration of awful people than any of your big, football-as-a-religion programs out there. But that still put them far far far away from being "pretty mild".
In any case, Saban is the devil. Belichick is the devil. Story checks out.

It's pretty interesting I was smoking George Bush, now Trump got some H. Never saw Obama branded drugs though.

Swear to fucking Christ if the polls blow it again in 2020 and predict a Trump loss only for him to pull it out again, I don't know what I'll do.
Do you think he goes home every night and writes in his diary about how mean everyone is to him?
Everyone's fake but Fox and Breitbart. Oh lord we are super de duper fucked

Soooo between trying to ram through a travel ban on Muslims, being miles away from the next election, and the President literally blaming the next terrorist attack on a judge, it is currently entirely in the Trump administration's interest to allow an al Qaeda or ISIS-influenced terrorist attack on domestic soil.

Yep. I have zero faith that if this current admin received Intel on a possible attack that they would do anything to thwart it. They stand to gain too much from one.
Yes and no...
Yes, because the administration so obviously wants to go down the route of African and South American dictators - fascist, authoritarian, suspension of rights, removal of undesirables, suspension of elections.
No, because they've done such a dumb-ass job of concealing what they want, if the US goes down that route, I think it'll motivate people into rioting, armed uprising, violence in the streets.
Certainly it depends upon how bad the (at this point inevitable) attack is, but I don't think a majority of people will go silently into accepting a Draconian rule. Especially not when you have a number of intelligence, former intelligence and foreign-policy experts saying this. There's too much evidence pointing to Trump and his administration fomenting hate for them to get away with all this scot-free.

They only signed up for the campaign. Even they never expected him to go all the way.

Nah, he's a (probably black) dude whose voice is too high and mellow to be actual Barack Obama. Barack's voice is deeper, and tends to have a mild quiver into it.
This voice actor occasionally dips into that deeper range (but relaxes into a higher, smoother range, often), but never gets the quiver.
this is a fake tweet though, right?
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. That shit better be fucking fake.

Not to be callous, but he's probably used to it tbh. All his adult kids are off doing their own thing and he clearly doesn't give a shit about Melania.

If anything I'd expect them to probably overcorrect in their sample demographic weightings and likely voter screens.

Glad the Pats won as a lifelong fan, but part of me was okay with an ATL win since I know they'd bail on visiting Trump. No way the Pats pull a stunt like that.

Can't wait. I hope whoever it is gets invited by Obama to his house or something.
I assume there will be some boycotts but I'm guessing all the major players will go. Would love to be proven wrong.
All he needs is CNN to be with him at night, and the NYTimes in the morning
A man so self obsessed is only lonely because of his ego, not because he has no family with him.

Because 1) a tweet is not a statement and 2) why is the media playing his game, where he knows his tweets dominate the news? Don't report on his tweets, ask for a statement from the WH and 3) by reporting on his tweets, it allows his tweets to reach a far larger group of people than it should.

When the president of the united states makes a Tweet, it IS a statement. It's "on the record"

President's words matter and have consequences. It is news.
It is a statement by a president.
This is some of the most unfiltered shit in an administration.

What can I say, I disagree it's a statement and I don't think the media should promote his tweets, especially if it's whining about fake news or some crap like that.
Media is not some sort of WH echo chamber.

There was a much better argument for this while he was a candidate, especially early in the primaries.
But now it's really no different from any other public statement a President makes. If it were 1993 and Bill Clinton was saying this shit into a microphone every day, it would get reported.
The breakdown is with Trump and his aides and handlers.

He's the president of the United States, everything he says is news and carries weight. If his tweets were simply "I love my wife, isn't she amazing" type stuff it wouldn't matter. Instead his tweets tend to preview his worldview, upcoming policy, and his anger with established norms of American democracy. All that is important.

Wow, that is really ballsy.
Is it common for polls to track likely voters, rather than all adult citizens?

Not sure if it's common, but it seems strange to do so this far away from an election. It's not particularly useful.
