"Argument one: If your life sucks already, and as a white billionaire I can only assume it does, why not try something new? "To those suffering, I say, vote for Donald Trump and I will fix it," he says. "What do you have to lose?"
Argument two is the stunner, a breathtaking attempt to pull all the irreconcilable rhetorical threads of his campaign together. "There is another civil-rights issue we need to talk about, and that's the issue of immigration enforcement," he says. "Every time an African­-American citizen ... loses their job to an illegal immigrant, the rights of that American citizen have been violated."
Yes, let's build a wall, but let's do it to help African-Americans! It's alt-right meets civil rights! The best crossover hit since "Walk This Way"!
There's muted applause, but also lots of glazed eyes staring up at the stage, not knowing how to respond. Still, after the speech, a local real estate developer named Don Whitham gives Trump's African-American outreach the thumb's-up. "The Republicans took them out of slavery. And we're trying to do it again," he says. "We're trying to take 'em out of enserfment."
He adds, voice breaking with emotion, "They're just being used by the damn politicians, that's all it amounts to!""

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is delaying its initial advertising in Florida's U.S. Senate race in order to further fortify its resources closer to Election Day, a DSCC official told the Herald/Times.

The DSCC on Tuesday cancelled its ad buy planned for Sept. 20-26 -- what was to be the committee's first foray into Florida's general election between Democrat Patrick Murphy and Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio.

Those are real shortcomings. But they pale in comparison to the litany of evils some opponents accuse her of. Treason? Murder? Her being cleared of crimes by investigation after investigation has no effect on these political hyenas; they refuse to see anything but conspiracies and cover-ups.

well she is literally the devil and hates America. Her only goal is to become president so she can destroy the county and hand it over to immigrants. she is lucky Barack Hussein Obama didn't get to accomplish his goal of handing the country over to muslims and sharia law, but there is still time.

I get worried when this thread is relatively quiet because it means there isn't any active Trump self-sabotage happening.

Hillary's Parkinson's rumors are snowballing, it's outside of the Drudge/Infowars realm... I know a lot of totally conspiracy averse liberals bring this up lately and they're legitimately concerned that a) she won't be able to finish the campaign, or b) she won't be well enough to be President...

Personally I haven't seen anything that convincing yet, but what do y'all think? Total horseshit or no?

flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link

such obvious horseshit it's shocking anyone would think otherwise

This piece is about how Trump's stump act has changed. I've watched him all year. He's never looked more miserable.

it's not that, I actually watched this video (which sounds like it was recorded with a tin can), and it mostly points to examples of HRC "freezing" or having tremors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1IDQ2V1eM

Whether or not it has any merit, the thing is starting to escalate in the media and she may have to address it further, Trump couldn't be happier...

flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link

The last thing she should do is address the conspiracy theories of dumbfucks.

Our Meals Are Hot And Fresh! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:15 (seven years ago) link

My mom was concerned for her health back in the spring. She sounded hoarse and coughed even back then. Also: Hillary is old. It's quite legitimate to worry that she might not be able to fix everything at 76, and will leave too much for Kamala Harris to repair. However, Trump is even older, and he's only released a fraudulent health certificate from an obvious quack.

Frederik B, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link

videos like that always scream legitimacy to me xxp

"It's quite legitimate to worry that she might not be able to fix everything at 76, and will leave too much for Kamala Harris to repair."

what does Harris have to do with this?

akm, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link

I assume that was just a joke about how Harris is gonna be president one day (entirely possible imo)

currently watching my father struggle though parkinson's and it looks nothing like that at all in his case.

As I said upthread, every conceivable argument that can be made for voting against a candidate will be made, regardless of how scurrilous, brainless or trivial it might be. As a campaign, you just make sure it is floated by your surrogates, so your own fingerprints aren't on it. The republicans would like to (covertly) thank vidzette.com for taking on this task of butchering Hillary with a blunt-edged cleaver.

We still haven't heard anything definitive about Hillary not actually being a lifelike robotic suit containing two small children, have we?

someone is feverishly photoshopping Hillary pics rn trying to find a way to make that story plausible to the 136 Ohio voters who might swallow it

It's inconceivable to me that anyone could take the video that still (the vidzette one) is from seriously - I know from other facets of the alt right that determining humour is not high on these guys' skillsets, but show the video to your aunt, let her tell you what's up.

it's looking a lot like clear cut bribery to Pam Bondi. This is it! the one thing that will sink him,right ?

i'm surprised it's even getting the traction that it is.

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 21:23 (seven years ago) link

if clinton had any notable health issues at all i have to assume that the insane schedule of a presidential candidate would significantly worsen them and make them impossible to not notice, rather than being something that has to be painstakingly revealed by playing debate videos in slow-motion

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 21:24 (seven years ago) link

yeah there's no way she could've done this for nearly two years with parkinson's

flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 21:33 (seven years ago) link

Even if the Bondi thing doesn't sink Trump, it would be nice if it sank Bondi.

But...Florida.
