I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BOTTOM IS • US presidential elections part VIII

A Clown Car Full Of Bingos

Rudy is a terrible suck-up

i guess ivanka seems better adjusted and more human by the utterly skewed standards of the evil ruling class but then you remember she's actively supporting an ongoing racist, classist attempt to destroy america so fuck her

revealing moment at 44.26

Ever heard of the Gettysburg Address, Rudy?

iirc the world little noted nor long remembered this one

Trump's speech was longer

rudy should compare it to pericles

Four score and seven years ago - so many years. It's incredible. Think about that, it's just an incredible number of years - our fathers, and specifically my father, who was a great man, my father, he built a great company, and he brought forth on America... (applause) It's great, America. You know. (applause) America. A new nation, a great nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated - - - can you believe what they're saying in the media? The media, these guys, the worst guys I have ever seen. Just horrible. Horrible. And this new nation, we're gonna make it great again.

Folks, you know, we're engaged in a civil war. A civil war. Believe me. Crooked Hillary (crowd booing)... oh, my goodness. Crooked Hillary, she thinks America can't endure! (more boos) But you know, without the wall, no nation can endure, (applause) and we're gonna build the wall. (crowd chanting, 'Build the wall!') It's gonna happen and today we're on a battlefield. A great battlefield. I think - and you can ask people. People know this, that this is the greatest battlefield, of this war and maybe even the greatest battlefield of all time, and we're gonna measure that because I think this is a really terrific battlefield. We're about out of time so I'm gonna take a few questions and we're gonna make America great again.

wonder what cabinet post rudy has been promised to talk so much nonsense this cycle. or is it just for the love of the game?

hahahah nice

lol Doc

What else will Giuliani will say this week to further reveal that his memory and knowledge of history goes back maybe two weeks at best? The breath of the world is bated!

Your speech was the best, Dr. C, just the best. Made my head spin.

remember when bernie sanders was "the only candidate who can beat donald trump"

in the unit on the logic of relations students often forget about the relation between a thing and itself

DC - excellent, you've got him down. You should make an attempt on something I threw out there a couple of weeks ago, the inaugural address he'll presumably never give. (One further idea I had, inspired by his wife: lift about a third of his inaugural verbatim from previous inaugurals, and put those parts together in random Burroughs cut-up style.)

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump Jan 20
D.C. Media wants me to give big speech in freezing cold!! Voters know #Mar-A-Lago much nicer. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

pat toomey is now against the tpp

this made me laugh pretty hard

would love to see an inner city tour with Sheriff Clarke and Ben Carson at his side

Yes, black audiences are super-eager for a speaking tour by that GOP candidate they almost unanimously rejected!

Interesting take on the Trump misinformation bubble

Sheriff Clarke

man, this confused me

Short, simple, and dead-on.

Clinton has become a background character in her own historic election.

@BenjySarlin
Campaign source: Trump "deeply unhappy for weeks" now "finally embracing the fact that he knows better than they do"

whew at last

Professionals built the Titanic and amateurs built the ark, yanno.

Campaign source: Trump "deeply unhappy for weeks" now "finally embracing the fact that he knows better than they do"

seems like he's confused manafort having poor instincts (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/paul-manafort-unhappy-campaign_us_57b490f7e4b0edfa80daabf5?al2y5n7w790wqxgvi) with his having good instincts. the one does not imply the other except in the mind of a 2 year old.

didn't know manafort had stood athwart the taco bowl yelling stop

absent useful detailed polling, the best guess for chances in the house are probably the betting markets (lol), e.g. http://predictwise.com/politics/2016-congress-house, which gives the democrats an 18% chance of a majority.

this is just the best election ever

OTM

i love the idea of like 3 or 4 adults arguing over the taco bowl photo before it was tweeted

then going w it

sry you included that.

this is amazing

loool

so that's trump's new campaign mastermind?!

A sneak peek at Trump's debate tactics imo

"Says who!"

"I know you are, but what am I?" didn't test well. They're saving "I'm rubber, you're glue" for the crucial home stretch after Labor Day.

this is amazing

is this real life?

there we go again

I hadn't met Michael Cohen yet. Oh he's going to be a treat to have making the rounds.

Total BS. This poll is a poll cat if you know what I mean. It stinks to high heaven. When a real and accurate poll was taken with a sampling of over 100,000 people Donald Trump was on top of Hillary by double percentage points. http://mediamatters.org/video/2016/08/16/fox-s-steve-doocy-so-if-election-were-held-today-according-zip-app-donald-trump-would-win/212427 This has Trump 60 percent higher than Hillary.

i sincerely hope that each and every one of these vile schmucks is haunted by the ghosts of this campaign for the rest of their days.

Blah. Sam's response was "Clip and save". Made me lol.

Also the poll his reader cited is described as "not a poll" by its creator in the article he copied

First time I've ever heard of the word "psychographic".

Advertising buzzword since I went to journalism school in the 80s.

Sorry, that looked snarky in print. Not intentional.

Interesting point:

Manafort may be sidelined, but his VP pick is there to stay. Neither Lewandowski nor Bannon wanted Pence.

^^^^ Should be the title of the next election thread. Bonus if it includes "psychographic"

This might be my favorite still shot from Mr. "Says Who"

Lewandowski wanted Ted Nugent for VP
