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

thought maybe trump campaign heavily invested in youtube views bc they're primarily appealing to degenerate internet types (redditors and 4channers)

they're idiots then, redditors and 4channers use adblockers!!

do adblockers work on youtube videos?

only nukes do

i've got some thingy that does, youtube-specific

sgreat

Having heard your complaints, Trump acts!

Or something.

all bought at the last minute! thats shrewd business acumen right there.

"I believe that there's a price being paid for not addressing the real cost of the deindustrialization and globalization that has occurred in the United States for the past 35, 40 years and how it’s deeply affected people's lives and deeply hurt people to where they want someone who says they have a solution. And Trump's thing is simple answers to very complex problems. Fallacious answers to very complex problems. And that can be very appealing."

The Boss OTM

i can see it both ways. obv you want the gov to be more responsive to the needs of the populace but i tend to think checks against demagoguery + nativist forms of populism are a feature not a bug

look how well populism works in California!

As for ads in Florida: Clinton's been inundating the airwaves since July at least. I see five Clinton ads for every Trump.

CRUZ DOOMS A PRESIDENT
is an anagram for
ZODIAC ENDORSES TRUMP

Alfred if yr referring to our vaunted ballot propositions... it does have its drawbacks (prop 13 *cough*). In general i think its great tho, as a system.

Brooks heartfelt loathing for Trump is making him a lot more relatable of late:

Donald Trump is egregious, but at least he’s living in the 21st century

Clintonworld operates according to its own time-space continuum that is slightly akilter from our own

But she is disengaged

nah this is the same old bullshit

Yeah, I'm not sure about his criticisms of Clinton, but his jabs at Trump are nicely done. It was fun watching him on the PBS panel at the conventions for that reason.

good ad. wouldn't use that music though, makes it seem too much like a dove natural beauty ad.
"Choose Hillary, sponsored by Dove... 'I'm Unilever and I approve this commercial'"

feels like the HRC campaign is preaching to the choir. like how many women who believe in body positivity etc. are still rooting for DJT at this stage.

i think she is just trying to shame moderate republicans

they'll still vote for trump, but they might feel bad about it. or they might just stay home.

awwww: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/24/us/politics/college-republicans-donald-trump.html?&moduleDetail=section-news-3&action=click&contentCollection=Politics®ion=Footer&module=MoreInSection&version=WhatsNext&contentID=WhatsNext&pgtype=article

or they might just stay home.

Mission accomplished, then.

Cade Marsh, the College Republicans’ state chairman in Florida, wants to run for president in 2032.

omg what is obama's pseudonym

Great, so apparently neither candidate even knows how to use a computer.

Enh; this isn't necessarily a surprise to anyone who's had to provide IT support to their parents.

Trump is using a Tandy 1000 TX

My mom is just about Clinton's age and totally knows how to use her computer. My mother in law does programming for the government (she taught herself to code in the mid '80s!) and is always complaining about their computer incompetence.

In their defense (which is not much of a defense) I bet Clinton's and Trump's ignorance stems largely from decades of paying other people to do things for them. I wonder if they even know how to drive cars anymore.

time to give em the Poppy Bush checkout scanner test

there's that story about Eisenhower learning how to use the phone in the early sixties. As prez and Supreme Commander he was used to picking it up and ordering an operator to make a connection.

"First dial 1, Mr President."

"Swipe left, Mr. President"

I bet Trump totally thinks nukes can be set off by using the Nuke app on the White House phone.

oh look another bet hedging article from Silver: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/election-update-the-case-for-and-against-democratic-panic/

say what you will about Sam Wang, he isn't afraid to make an erroneous prediction (see 2004)

should election forecasters just make a prediction regardless of what the data tells them?

NYT endorses clinton
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/opinion/sunday/hillary-clinton-for-president.html

i kind of assumed they had already endorsed her last year

no, just over Sanders in the spring

can't believe NYT is being so insensitive to the quiddities and agonies of the Donald

this proves it's rigged!

stay classy you bag of shit

If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

Is Trump saying he fucked Mark Cuban there?
