Clinton aides have not revealed who is standing in for Trump, and they said it is possible that multiple people could play the role.

debate prep per wapo

How have GOP operatives not realized yet that talking to Robert Costa is…not helping them much

It's a change since July, when they admitted that 'Yes, Philando Castile

that was what the governor said (to a bit of surprise / controversy), so their 'admission' probably reflects the source they were writing about??

xpost -- Costa's in the catbird seat and credit to him. He got his start doing work at NRO, built up his contacts and has been open about the fact a lot of GOP types see him as more 'trustworthy' than that there hated mainstream media etc. etc. Yet nobody seems to have twigged that, at least from what I can tell, he pretty much thinks most of the GOP types in Washington at least are easily led idiots.

They probably like to be listened to

x-posts: No, they aren't that bad :) The article is about other writers trying to minimize race in the case.

The simple answer as to why so many are all of a sudden writing that people need to help the white working class is, well, because now they have to. Because power has shifted from the white working class to the new democratic coalition of african-americans, hispanics and college educated whites. So before the white working class decided what would happen, now they don't, so now everyone else has to help them, even if they perhaps didn't help anyone else before.

mook, the WFP are a ballsless Dem front, i loathe them with the fire of a thousand suns

Shakey otm re do-nothing 100+ days unless the Dems can take the house and then some:

If HRC wins the election, it is going to be in great part because a Republican Party that ate the monkeybrains 40 years ago has developed within itself a prion disease that has produced a public hallucination instead of a candidate. She should not govern by pretending that the prion disease will disappear because El Caudillo de Mar-A-Lago cratered. If the Republicans decide to freeze the agenda, to the detriment of the country, that has to be framed by the administration as a further example of the political dementia that also produced Donald Trump.

the "also" is going to be the thing that trips the Dems unless Clinton's serious about governing.

And in the continuing 'hit up the marks' scam that is GOP fundraising of all sorts:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-fundraiser-hawes-227486

loooolll, my FB (and nearly every political website I go to) is flooded with that ad. who the hell would want to have dinner with Trump anyway? dude has terrible taste in fast food.

A link from that story:

"We've been sparring back and forth via email regarding who should eat who's shit."

also tangentially-related; the role irony plays in my life probably means that someone in the Feingold camp sold their contact list after I donated to his campaign BUT if one of you is the reason I'm getting fundraising emails from Trump, I will fucking bury you

who the hell would want to have dinner with Trump anyway? dude has terrible taste in fast food.

We know he eats the finest taco bowls available. Also that he eats Famous Famiglia pizza... with a knife and fork.

Dunno about you but I'm gonna skip this one.

And well done steaks!

The way his mouth is shaped 90% of the time when he's talking I'm surprised it can accommodate any foods beyond spaghetti or milkshakes

Trump's mouth is a couple of tentacles shy of being outright Cthulhic. It's the gaping orifice of some unidentifiable but horrifying thing someone dredged from a tide pool.

And, much like his floundering campaign, most of Trump's horrifying physical traits are of his own doing. No one made him talk like he's gumming a mouthful of invisible taffy.

Dear bizarro gazzara, this is friendly notice that I am going to hunt you down for that image. Your friend in Jesus, Andrew.

On a previous iteration of this thread I am ashamed to admit that I compared the mouth of one of the Trumpspawn to that of a lamprey.

http://i.imgur.com/ktqpVJf.jpg

I denounce myself for contributing to the coarsening of the discourse that really ought to be about the many serious issues facing our nation.

Still: dude looks like a fuckin lamprey. Just sayin.

They are the McPoyles of the super rich

I do understand concerns about focusing on the physical appearance of political candidates, but it seems noteworthy when the candidate in question oddly goes out of his way to make himself more physically grotesque than he naturally is. Trump would probably just look like any other old dude if he didn't seem perpetually hellbent on outdoing Lon Chaney.

...and happy to talk about Carly Fiorina's face, Marco Rubio's stature, etc. etc.

As the Old Testament (I think) said, those who doth disheth it out meet best be prepared to taketh it. Or something like that.

good morning!

Man, there are more Homer biblical misquotes for argumentation's sake than I remember:

'this guy weiner is bad news and hillary should have had nothing to do with him (i know him very well btw)'

"Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information"--strange choice of verb, "allowing."

This does answer something I was trying to figure out the other day, the 'ei'/'ie' name I'd been misspelling.

I hear some milk went bad in Hillary's fridge. How could she be so negligent? What kind of incompetent farmers are supplying less than satisfactory products to her? She's "OK" with this? What if she treats the country in the same way she treats grocery shopping and management of her perishables? How can we trust her?

Trump donning the white ballcap look today. From a distance he looks like a gesticulating Pez dispenser.

What proximity did Weiner have to Clinton's sensitive/secret information? I was under the impression that Abedin worked for her but Weiner didn't?

does the fact that he sent dick pics to all of the highest Clinton Foundation donors answer your question?

"sensitive" information

WEiner had no proximity to anything, he and Abedin have apparently been split for months

the clinton foundation's secret fundraising weapon was AW's cock

"give us money or we'll keep sending you pictures of this thing"
