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

Some of Donald Trump's advisers are discussing an overhaul in how he prepares for his second face-off with Hillary Clinton, and one option being floated internally is asking Chris Christie to take a leading role to get the Republican nominee ready.

So the loud asshole Jersey guy is gunna attempt to browbeat the loud asshole Queens guy into compliance?

Voices screaming at each other long into the wee hours, campaign aides and office staffers mixing xanax with jack daniels in an attempt to get a good night's sleep under their desks

I am reasonably certain from context that even adjusting for Trumpian levels of atrocity, that was still meant to be a joke.

I am starting to believe in the theory that Trump states exactly what he's thinking/doing in terms of a joke or as an accusation of what his competition would do. At the same time he was speaking in Florida and saying he wouldn't do business in Cuba he was working someone to try to do business in Cuba!

So when he keeps marrying women at around the same age and jokes about the field narrowing..
Married / Age
Ivana / 28
Marla / 29
Melania / 35 (started dating when she was ~30)

Ivanka's currently 34, if Donald washes out of this marriage then yeah, he's going to have to break his pattern

he keeps getting older, but women in their late 20s keep being a demographic

You know who isn't younger than Ivanka? Ivanka.

he keeps getting older, but women in their late 20s keep being a demographic

that's why he loves them high school girls

my current miss universe, about the same age as my last miss universe

the fact that it isn't her in this porn thing makes absolutely no difference, does it? I hate people.

Hilldogg on FB:

This is...unhinged, even for Trump. A few notes.
What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories? Alicia deserves praise for courageously standing up to Trump's attacks. And he has the gall to blame her for his cruel behavior—and even say he "helped"?
When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go. This is dangerous for a presidential candidate, never mind a president.
What's more: This is a pattern of flying off the handle at women who defy, criticize, or otherwise displease Trump. To Donald, women like Alicia are only as valuable as his personal opinion about their looks. He obsessively bullies Rosie O'Donnell, an accomplished actor. He calls female reporters and news hosts who question him "crazy" and "neurotic," or worse. He insulted Kim Kardashian for her weight—when she was pregnant. It's pathetic.
We've heard Donald's insults for years, and his policies reflect this disregard—even contempt—for women:
On equal pay, Trump says women should just "do as good a job" as men. He thinks women who get an abortion should be "punished." He called pregnancy an "inconvenience" to employers. Wives working are "dangerous."
He's never hidden how he truly feels about women, but it's never been clearer than right now: he doesn't respect half the population of this country—and he doesn't deserve to lead it.

THis is what it's come to in Trump's America, #brands being accidentally trolled on Twitter. <----------TRENCHANT

sing a song of 6 hillarymen

Hillary, I think you could've made a point that was 100% easy to agree with if you hadn't included the roadbump of a phrase 'an accomplished actor'.

i think that person is for real

who, @dogboner? he's as real as it gets :)

pour one out for Diarrhea Buttballs

Oh he can do that himself.

It's sad he was a buttball

watching weird twitter clown scott adams makes me feel good

A very 'eats shoots and leaves' sentence there but it works both ways.

Video deposition referred to above is live

https://www.buzzfeed.com/danielwagner/trump-video-depositions?utm_term=.ea3rZwgL0#.aaNrEVKXN

Trump suggests in one exchange that his incendiary comments about Mexicans made during his campaign kickoff — he said people coming here from the country were “rapists” — were premeditated. Another answer shows Trump bragging about how he signs hundreds of real estate leases but relies on others to actually read and review the documents.

xp it's more of a buffalo buffalo buffalo one

For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o'clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!

How could staying up all night be a bad thing? It means he's ready for anything!

Sleep is for pathetic losers who can't afford low-grade trucker speed.

Kinda like Goldie Taylor's response to that:

https://twitter.com/goldietaylor/status/781927607021498368

Liiiiiike...if it were anyone else, I'd say that Trump's was a decent response to the 3AM criticism. But because it's Trump, I am 150% sure that he's just parroting someone else's utterance of that exact response.

Make that 250%.

It doesn't matter the exact percent, I can show you lots of percents, they're fine percents, great percents.

lol at Trump in the deposition. "I guess they wanted to get out of the lease because they think I said something terrible. But I won the nomination so I couldn't have said anything terrible."

perdollar, actually. Billions.

A politically smart person might be able to find the right angle to discredit Hillary with reference to Bill's affairs. Not the dalliances themselves, but rather the extent to which she worked to discredit his accusers (nuts/sluts), and to hush up allegations e.g. Broaddrick. You could then tie it to the case where she allegedly freed a child rapist and then laughed about it. http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/

But Trump's not smart and he will find a way to take neither of those lines of attack. His way of bringing it up will read as nagl victim-blaming.

So he'll flee from the frying pan (right-wingers saying he was too timid) to the fire (undecided and swing voters recoiling from watching him be MEAN to a GIRL).

@DougHenwood
The interesting but quite right-wing Dorothy Rabinowitz endorses HRC

http://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-hatred-derangement-syndrome-1475192121

Serious question: If Sanders had been the nominee, who would all the neocons be endorsing?

And if your answer is a variation of "Not Sanders," what does that say about who Clinton is?

the freed child rapist + laughed about it "scandal" is so disingenuous

he keeps getting older, but women in their late 20s keep being a demographic

dammit just saw your gif shakey

henwood is pretty dumb, huh.

I have a followup question: If my grandmother had wheels, exactly what brand of trolley car would she be?

By citing Lewinsky et. al. Trump is appealing to those who cannot conceive of Bill ever being back in the White House in any capacity. But Trump had those votes already. He has only one audience he understands, appreciates and panders to. I expect a good 20% of the votes he'll get will be from voters who find him completely disgusting, but they'll do it because he's the Republican nominee.

Henwood has a rage-boner for Hillary that won't quit and it's disappointing because otherwise I think he does valuable work

Serious question: If Sanders had been the nominee, who would all the neocons be endorsing?

And if your answer is a variation of "Not Sanders," what does that say about who Clinton is?

^^^^valid questions, imo

my guess is that most of them would've just remained silent?

henwood is pretty dumb, huh.

the questions were mine, Prince Stoner.
