Il Douché and His Discontents: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 4

AFAIC, Hillary is not much more than the least revolting of the twisted homunculi currently running for president (Bernie excluded but, y'know, so no gonna happen).

Like did the person who wrote that hate her? I can't fathom the delusional and ahistorical mind who put that sentence together and didn't think "well this is sure to cause an issue."

It's like praising Woodrow Wilson's strong civil rights record or something.

it was extemporaneous pandering, not a speech

and has been pointed out, w/ no political upside

Unless it's a "Sister Souljah" type reverse psychology move, where Clinton feels like she can count on gay support already so why not take a little flak from gay activists for a news cycle or two. Who knows it might help her with social conservatives.

I doubt this will make any news

no way it helps her with a single social conservative voter not one

"wow i'm so happy she praised the wife of the demigod reagan for being pro-gays i'll definitely change my vote from cruz to hill."

Well, praising Reagan more than strictly necessary is a card that Obama also played in 2008. Who knows if it helped him, but a lot of middle-of-the-road voters presumably still have fond memories of the Gipper.

and any organization that criticizes Hillary for it will be dismissed as rudely attempting to piss on the memory of a recently departed "icon"

@dick_nixon

As First Lady, Nancy was more or less as politically powerful as Hillary. Praise her for that. Reaching for AIDS makes no sense at all.

If I were with Sanders I might encourage this or that reporter to call Larry Kramer.

that account sounds less and less like actual Nixon every day

that Buckley quote is insane, huh

I doubt this will make any news

r u serious, dude? might wanna check any ol politics site. Dan Savage is "shaking" as hge writes, and there's no more craven queer neoliberal.

Well, praising Reagan more than strictly necessary is a card that Obama also played in 2008. Who knows if it helped him, but a lot of middle-of-the-road voters presumably still have fond memories of the Gipper.

eh he didn't praise Reagan excessively. He said Reagan had changed the trajectory of the country like Clinton had not. What he said was indisputable:

"I mean, I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not."

waiting for @dick_nixon to dispute it of course

this is gonna get buried Morbz

Faggots have long memories about some things, Shakey.

lmao well that's that then. see you all monday!

good god

While the Wilsons were strong advocates for the income tax and tariff reform, I misspoke about their record on civil rights. For that, I'm sorry.

haha that was quick lmfao

xxp

yeah, you misspoke, and now it's time to be misvoted back to Chappaqua.

It's hard to mock up a possible apology... "Alzheimers! I meant Alzheimers."

respect

i kinda believe her that she misspoke / had a brain malfunction bc it's just so hard to believe that she meant it intentionally

dude it's Friday, it's an issue most people won't understand/care about, she's already backpedaled, this story is dead

xp

"Calm down, calm down! That was a minor interview, honestly I don't even remember what I said... I SAID WHAT?"

ALZHEIMERS

by midweek you'll be nothing but a vengeful berniebro for bringing it up

now that i think about it, by the end of next week it'll be an article of faith on the right that HRC did this on purpose to get everyone talking about AIDS on nancy's special day

Barack Obama was exactly right: Ronald Reagan changed the course of ILX like Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton did not.

now that i think about it, by the end of next week it'll be an article of faith on the right that HRC did this on purpose to get everyone talking about AIDS on nancy's special day

This was floated as a not-serious-but-hopeful-maybe theory on my Facebook wall

While the Reagans were strong advocates for things that benefitted them personally, they could give less than a fuck about anyone else

pretty much sums up the 80s

yeah for real

ha I was skim-looking for that post so I could quote it and then ask Morbs what tonight's Powerball numbers would be

it's an issue most people won't understand/care about,

DUDE, only a few thousand Democrats are voting in these goddamn primaries, it doesn't take much. Plus, smell of a desperate loser is pungent.

lol this is perfect Friday afternoon Morbsbait

perspective is not your strong suit morbz

btw you call "Alzheimers!" prophecy? I've been watching these masturbatory rodeos since Ted Agnew was alliterating.

me discussing Hillary Clinton on Facebook:

It's like having Chevy Chase's Ford impersonation as President, only all the pratfalls are verbal.

hillary very obviously did not "misspeak" but it was smart of her team to apologize

how is this bitch still alive

shakes my man we could probably all benefit from refraining from using that word about women we dislike

i see the sinister plan to make Hillary Clinton seem untrustworthy and two-faced is working well.

shakes my man we could probably all benefit from refraining from using that word about women we dislike

intentionally deployed in this case, I'll cop to it.

My first exposure to Schlafly was as a lad when my mom was working to get the ERA passed with the League of Women Voters and ohhhh did she have words about her.
