I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

Now that he's half-assed (like a full asshole) semi-conceded Obama was born in the USA, maybe he'll suggest building a wall between America and Hawaii.

@realDonaldTrump
Attention all hackers: You are hacking everything else so please hack Obama's college records (destroyed?) and check "place of birth"

He really is the greatest used cars salesman from NJ that ever lived at this point.

The eagle is nimbly dodging a barrage of throwing stars.

i mean that statement they put up is just all lies! it's really insane how this is so normal now.

The double speak is truly jaw-dropping. Pence can be wrong on Iraq, but not Clinton. I am not a racist, but she is a bigot. I brought this horrible birther shit to a conclusion by bringing it up.

and half of the voting public is like "yep"

Well, he tells it how it is.

My health records are private, but Hillary is secretly sick.

I am a successful business man because I have successfully weathered several bankruptcies. Hillary's husband is a philanderer, but I am happily married to my third wife.

Hillary needs to stop being secretive, no I won't release tax returns

She has something she's hiding. I, however, have nothing to hide, which is why you don't need to see it.

"I just find it weird that you're adamant that Trump has never led" Clemenza dares to mention the fact that this thread is for Hillary Kool-Aid drinkers only--this bubble you are in mirrors that of the HRC campaign itself. The proof is in the pudding, she won't win without millennials and that pudding ship has sailed. We all tried to warn you, go with the not-"most hated" candidate who polls 10 pts over Trump consistently. Now look where you are?

oh well at least now we know you're just a butthurt sanders supporter and not actually a rah-rah trumphead

got any metaphors to mangle before doctors put chloroform over your face?

Clemenza that RCP link had Clinton still up by 1.5 wtf

Xxp

i can't believe the extortion argument didn't work to convince dem primary voters. "you've got an awfully nice country here. it would be a shame if something happened to it. vote sanders 2016."

yeah Trump's projection skills are legendary at this point. I expect him to let it slip at some point that he thinks Hillary wants to bang Chelsea

Hillary has millennials in double digits over trump the fuck out of here with that

yeah but she doesn't have the millennial bernie primary voters dumb enough to think that gary johnson believes in the same things as them

Hillary has millennials in double digits over trump the fuck out of here with that

Yeah but you've got to get them out to vote but ugh no that's too hard I don't want to vote where's my allowance I need to order take out ugh.

She has something she's hiding. I, however, have nothing to hide, which is why you don't need to see it.

BELIEVE ME

All the handwringing over millennials reminds me that they don't vote

He really is the greatest used cars salesman from NJ that ever lived at this point.

He is from Queens, lazy slander against the Garden State is unnecessary.

I'll have to check on it, but pretty sure Queens is in NJ.

no you're thinking of staten island

queens is in long island

anyway the Trump thing I'm horrified/secretly impressed by the most is his willingness to blatantly lie about anything, including things that wouldn't matter at all if not for his incredibly fragile ego - e.g. his claim that the people of Flint were chanting "let him speak! let him speak!" despite multiple accounts of "nobody said that, in fact they heckled you and the pastor you just attacked came to your defense".

I was born and raised in NJ I can say whatever I want about it. Characterization is based off personal observations

Millennials vote and they're voting for Hillary. Xposts

The generational story this election is white baby boomers going for Trump. Even in old age they prefer excitement to competence and narcissism to compromise.

Millennials don't have cars so how are they supposed to vote? I mean, ugh, can't we just do it all online? Like, text a thumbs up or something?

Greenwald: http://www.vox.com/2016/9/15/12853236/glenn-greenwald-trump-clinton

white baby boomers

White male baby boomers, which is still ironic, because the Clintons are like the ur-baby boomers. Won't see Fleetwood Mac at the Trump party, you'd get, like, Kansas.

Maybe there's a subreddit so they can upvote their candidate choice or whatever I'm bored now

no fucking way does Trump like Kansas

But Kansas likes Trump, and you get what you can get.

(Probably likes Trump, I should say. It's either them or the Return of the Return of Bruno, pickings are slim.)

Self-negating Greenwald:

A lot of times, you can invent examples that are just so extreme that they even cloud or obscure the debate rather than help it. So during the torture debate, everyone who wants to justify torture sits down and plays games with their imagination and looks to TV shows — “Okay, it’s a ticking time bomb with radioactive material in three hours and will kill 100 million people unless you torture someone. And do you do it?”

That’s a hard question to answer. You can’t answer that blithely. But the important thing is that scenario is never the case in the real world.

. . . Say, if Donald Trump has a heart attack, and he’s leading in the polls and he’ll win, and the doctor could say, “I could do everything possible to save his life, or I can just do a little less and maybe he’ll die and he won’t be president.” I wouldn’t want doctors making those kinds of decisions that way, and I don’t want journalists making those kinds of decisions either.

@jacobinmag
Hillary Clinton's new book has sold less copies than a Jacobin volume called "The ABCs of Socialism."

On a positive tip, I have to feel like, due to our constant exposure to Trump's untethered pathology, the critical thinking skills of a certain segment of the population are likely to improve at least a little. These are traits that many people may have never been exposed to before (or at least not to the outsized extent to which Trump's psychological ailments present themselves). Some people will always be swayed by, for example, a pathological liar's ability to utter falsehoods with complete conviction, but there are others who are going to get a lot better at calling people out when they pull a Trump and at spotting that shit a mile away when future politicians inevitably try to recapture Trump's special brand of insane magic.

xpost @jacobinmag The word you're looking for is 'fewer'.

We don't need your bourgeois grammar.

It doesn't, no. Scroll down to the tracking poll on that page, Trump vs. Clinton; Trump takes over the lead--the red line moves above the blue line--for the same three days in July where Silver had him in the line.

I honestly feel silly pressing this point. I want Clinton to win. But I don't want to be one of those unskewed poll guys, trying to deny something that clearly is true.

"in the lead"

We don't need your bourgeois grammar.

i wonder what kind of music trump likes? i wonder if he even likes music at all

Can't remember where I saw it, but someone observed his pre-rally music was a lot of Andrew Lloyd Weber.
