lol @ Christie:
QUESTION: Governor, you were in New Jersey in 2001 right after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Do you recall ever seeing – were there ever instances in Jersey City of thousands of people cheering? CHRISTIE: I don’t recall that. I don’t. I mean, listen, I can’t say, Matt, I can’t say that I have – it was a pretty emotional time for me because, as I’ve mentioned before, there’s family involved, there’s friends involved and so it was a pretty harrowing time. I do not remember that. And so, it’s not something that was part of my recollection. I think if it had happened, I would remember it. But, you know, there could be things I forget, too. I don’t remember that. No.
these guys are so "take-charge RAH RAH RAH no compromise ever!" unless they have to contradict Donald Trump, then they're a bunch of obsequious quislings

The really scary thing about this whole thing is that somehow all nuts turn to Ted Cruz he ends up becoming the nominee, something legalese or world events would pretty much invalidate Clinton and somehow he ends up President. That's a guy that I think gets ahold of that kind of power could be f'ing scary.

I know it plays to some of my weak tea progressiveness, that KM's intro is all about the right to healthcare and free college, not specifically about addressing institutionalized and culturally entrenched racism and bigotry, but those ARE my bias - I don't think we can teach other people not to be enema bags, I think we have to sponsor opportunity everywhere equally and then strive to make it actually equal where we can - but he did do a great job summarizing my Bern Feels.
Something that's perhaps more important is that while I'm trying to write down how hey ha, Killer Mike introducing Bernie Sanders is a funny juxtaposition, I had to stop, because I'm a slow moron, and it's not, at all.

Haven't been as alarmed by Trump as others (primarily because he isn't religious in his professional life), but the predicted steps here make a scary amount of sense:

The article makes the bones of a link - heavily armed white nationalists (several groups of which have already declared that he's the only candidate that really furthers their cause) taking advantage of the political environment to start shit wouldn't be a surprising step. Do you want to bet cash that the people responsible for the shooting in Minneapolis don't have Trump bumper stickers? Or that he'd denounce them without a wink?
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 17:52 (eight years ago) link
It's not much of a leap to imagine who the Minneapolis shooters might favor as a presidential candidate. He's practically condoning acts like that at this point. Whether they explicitly did it in his name, it fits pretty comfortably alongside other acts being committed by his supporters.

Man beaten at Trump rally speaks out:http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/11/23/3725051/trump-protester-beaten/
“It was just a sea of white faces,” he told ThinkProgress. “A lady kicked me in the stomach. A man kicked me in the chest. They called me n*****, monkey, and they shouted ‘all lives matter’ while they were kicking and punching me. So for all the people who are still confused at this point, they proved what ‘all lives matter’ meant. It means, ‘Shut up, n*****.'”

The media is covering people polling with 1% or less.. they have trump on all fucking day because its ratings. he's not going anywhere until the media stops caring. he'll run third party because his 15% of rump racist awful america will always be there for him.

i think it's very possible he'll run third party but cruz has generally played nice and he doesn't seem to have a hardon for rubio so they could appease him w/ some nice words and a prime convention speaking spot. if jeb looked like the eventual nominee i'd have no doubt trump would run third party.

A CNN guy just talked about a Trump event where people were shaking their fists at reporters (having to do with Trump's recent New Jersey-9/11 comments). Shades of the Goldwater convention! (I've read about that countless times, but there doesn't seem to be any images online.)

@DougHenwood 1h1 hour agoThe @realDonaldTrump's goddamn hats are made by Latino workers.
...The red-and-white caps are emblazoned with the real estate mogul's oft-repeated slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
But look around the factory floor where these hats are being made by the thousands, and you’ll find faces that don’t seem to fit into Trump’s America.
Yolanda Melendrez is one of them. Melendrez, an immigrant from Mexico who was brought to the United States by her parents when she was a baby, has worked at the Carson-based Cali-Fame headwear company since 1991.
“When we first got the order [for the Trump hats], I said to myself, ‘Just wait until he sees who’s making his hats. We’re Latinos, we’re Mexicans, Salvadoreños.’”

I think Trump has said he wouldn't run third party and maybe even signed some pledge, not that that means anything.
