Plouffe is busy doing for Uber what he did for Obama.

y'all are making me hate "issues" as a word more than I already do

...or at least he was last year.

I'm saying Plouffe & Co. knew how to battle the thing of "associate his face with weakness, etc." - as much as Rove & Co. tried at various points to make his ears a distraction, his slimness a distraction, his "slick dude at the country club" a distraction.

Either way, this will play into the debates and Trump will use it as fuel, which will be infuriating and exhausting.

TRUMP FUEL DOESN'T MELT HILLARY BEAMS

another thing going on here is.. older women quite likely to be more sensitive to heat and it's totally normal.. but clinton folks probably don't want the (largely white, male) political press corps and pundits endlessly bloviating about women's health stuff they know nothing about. so they don't want to say that. but to me this is like.. shrug.. i have been prone to occasional dizzy spells when dehydrated my entire life (moreso in hot weather and/or mornings!) and there's nothing wrong with me.

Wow, Dilbert is special.

FFS i almost fainted while drinking beer and celebrating a goal at a soccer match a month ago. Had to resteady myself quickly.

Dehydration is a motherfucker.

the fundamentals of the race have not changed, trump has little/no path to win, keep organizing and getting out the vote - everything else is noise.

this is perfect advice for political activists and no doubt reflects the bedrock truth of the election. ordinary disorganized voters will continue to vote according to the preponderance of their emotions and the media will continue to generate noise for their consumption. this matters, but much less than it appears to matter.

yeah. i trust plouffe opinion on it. what part of the obama coalition is going to switch over to voting trump??? just need to get them out to vote. HRC campaign is very well organized. trump doesn't really have a field operation it seems. pretty much outsourced to the rnc. been wasting time in states he can't win, wasting money with poorly targeted fundraising appeals. at the very least was like $50 million behind hillary in august fundraising totals and furthermore probably spent a lot more to raise it and has way less cash on hand.

Trump says if he doesn't win, the election is rigged.

I say that if he DOES win, the election is rigged.

It might matter how Trump handles this (Clinton). A smart candidate would immediately recognize that it's something where you step back and let the media hash it out for the next few days. Trump is not a smart candidate; he could easily bring out the sledgehammer and say something really stupid or insensitive (if he hasn't already--has he reacted yet?).

Breaking News: Hillary Clinton diagnosed with penumonia.

Neader, there's only two things that make Iago happy:

1. the prospect of Hillary losing, to teach the rest of us an important lesson about why old white men are better than women

2. you (or anybody else) responding to his pathetic troll act

Anacostia Aerodrome (El Tomboto), Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link

lol wtf is a Neader. Thanks, lack of autocorrect.

Anacostia Aerodrome (El Tomboto), Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link

xpost with that 3% remark you mean the closing on Friday afternoon right? IMHO that was all about QE, nothing to do with the elections.

Sharkie, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:51 (seven years ago) link

What's up, Tomboto? I don't want her to win for a million reasons, but not because she's a woman. Are you still flogging that dead horse? I'm 48, though, so yes--vewy old.
Nothing to see here, though, pneumonia...but wait, why did they wait 7 hours to tell us? I thought it was the excruciating heat. Again, lovely here this morning. Contrary to what you probably assume, I don't want her to get any kind of sickness. But she's a crook with health issues she's hiding whom I'd rather not see President--or are we conspiracy theorists again? See you next time

Iago Galdston, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:53 (seven years ago) link

xp no i mean the betting markets on the presidential election since this morning

you absolute fucking weirdo

imago, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:03 (seven years ago) link

Lol, Trump got a quack to write up a phony health certificate, and he won't release more, but you're attacking Hillary for this? Yeah, you're not a sexist piece of shit at all, no sir.

Frederik B, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:04 (seven years ago) link

I'm not sure you know what sexist means. You can be a rabid, hypocritical partisan who hates Hillary without being a sexist.

schwantz, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:15 (seven years ago) link

did the doctor examine her bottom?

salthigh, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:20 (seven years ago) link

x-post: Are you really jumping in here to defend the rabid right-wing anti-Hillary crusade against accusations of sexism? Well, you're definitely spending you're time constructively.

Frederik B, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:20 (seven years ago) link

Why don't you not be the first person to make these raving posts itt Fred. Set a timer, see how long behind you accuser #2 is, make a game of it, whatever.

Diagnosed with pneumonia, htf was she well enough to come out and play for the press only a few hours ago? Evidence imo that she's twice as tough as she looks, if anything.

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:25 (seven years ago) link

X-post
It's just a lazy conversation-ender. But I guess that's what you were going for. I don't really want to feed the troll either.

schwantz, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:26 (seven years ago) link

why did they wait 7 hours to tell us?

Good lord. They waited longer than that to announce that FDR was dead!

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:26 (seven years ago) link

Why don't you not be the first person to make these raving posts itt Fred.

Why don't you read ten posts above, darragh?

And yeah, I'm not trying to have a conservation with a sexist pos troll, schwantz...

Frederik B, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:28 (seven years ago) link

Best way to avoid it is not to post itt imo

ilx can absorb a dilution of 1/10000 for anticlinton posters

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:32 (seven years ago) link

That's all I'm saying. Screaming sexist at anyone who dares to resist Clinton isn't exactly heroic itt.

schwantz, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:34 (seven years ago) link

I'd go a good bit further, thread stinks of its own farts and every additional trump impersonation is a new fucking low for the site tbh.

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:37 (seven years ago) link

x-post: That's not what I do either. At all. Nor is Iago simply anticlinton, he is proTrump. And a worthless, lying troll, who doesn't contribute with one iota of actual discussion. Shooting down every attack on sexism with false accusations is not heroic either.

Frederik B, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:39 (seven years ago) link

Dear christ you are not being invited to extend your case by proxy here you are being asked for the thousandth time in a US election thread to tone it the fuck down

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:43 (seven years ago) link

I'm only in here because we owed the yanks a favour after the good Friday agreement

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:44 (seven years ago) link

Go away, darragh. You began your attack with a lie. If you don't want me to 'extend my case' don't begin by lying about me, ok?

Frederik B, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:45 (seven years ago) link

Viking? That's where I'm asleep.

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:46 (seven years ago) link

don't tone it the fuck down fred b. you're pissing off all the right people.

dares to resist? god. being a petulant man-baby and being sexist aren't exactly the same thing, like technically you can separate them out, but they're usually not far from each other.
