Quote: ams288In Trump's defense (something you won't hear me say often), weren't this weekend's rallies thrown together pretty quickly?
I'm sure if there was more notice, some more if his supporters would have been able to reschedule their klan rallies and get out to support Trump (I kid, I kid... kind of).
Which simply points out his lack of an organized ground game.
Quote: TomGHow is your life better by maintaining the belief that our country is going to go at least 20 years with evil presidents?
Sometimes I axe myself this question. Best thing for me would probably be to totally ignore politics for the rest of my life.
Are these people really that evil, I sometimes wonder.
I'm not sure Trump is. Or Obama. They both seem like flawed people with whom I strongly disagree about many things. But when I look at the whole picture, it's hard to say most politicians are just successful people who want to serve their country.
Probably the most obvious roadblock to thinking that is the Iraq war. I don't know if you were old enough and paying attention at the time, but every justification could be discredited with a brief internet search. There's not really any such thing as a dirty bomb for example.
My go to here is this Onion article, written in the run up. It's not that this comedy writer was some sort of foreign policy wizard. He was simply stating the overwhelmingly obvious.
"This war will not put an end to anti-Americanism; it will fan the flames of hatred even higher. It will not end the threat of weapons of mass destruction; it will make possible their further proliferation. And it will not lay the groundwork for the flourishing of democracy throughout the Mideast; it will harden the resolve of Arab states to drive out all Western (i.e. U.S.) influence.
If you thought Osama bin Laden was bad, just wait until the countless children who become orphaned by U.S. bombs in the coming weeks are all grown up. Do you think they will forget what country dropped the bombs that killed their parents? In 10 or 15 years, we will look back fondly on the days when there were only a few thousand Middle Easterners dedicated to destroying the U.S. and willing to die for the fundamentalist cause. From this war, a million bin Ladens will bloom.
And what exactly is our endgame here? Do we really believe that we can install Gen. Tommy Franks as the ruler of Iraq? Is our arrogance and hubris so great that we actually believe that a U.S. provisional military regime will be welcomed with open arms by the Iraqi people? Democracy cannot possibly thrive under coercion. To take over a country and impose one's own system of government without regard for the people of that country is the very antithesis of democracy. And it is doomed to fail."

Hillary is not an imbecile. Nor are most of the other people who went ahead with the war. It was a war to benefit oil companies, arms dealers and mercenaries and to increase conflict because conflict is a pretext for increased authoritarianism. I just don't see how someone who starts wars for corporate profit and to increase their own power over others can be seen as non-evil.
We can look at other things forever. Do politicians really believe that it was good for Americans to cut our bankruptcy protections and legalize loan sharking?
How many really believe it is good to throw some kid's parents behind bars over marijuana? Or, to incarcerate almost 1% of our population in general?
Quote: RonCI'm not sure why, but you seem to be putting words in my mouth
...
Lesser of two evils is different from calling one evil...I just think that two of the poorest candidates have been presented for the general election.
"Lesser of two evils" means that they both are evil. Those were your words
Trump is an epic mess. His views don't even matter to me at this point.
I am sorry people who I at least think are qualified are unelectable. The list is long on those that tried to get elected and failed all down the tickets for over 200 years. Probably many who were decent even. Maybe 2?
Quote: TomG"Lesser of two evils" means that they both are evil. Those were your words
Not in the context of them not being great candidates which is what I was speaking about...each party could have done better but they misjudged the anger at the establishment.
I get to decide whether I think they are "evil" or not for myself...as does everyone else.
Cheers!!!
Quote: TomG"Lesser of two evils" means that they both are evil. Those were your words
Lesser of two evils is an expression. It means the least unfavourable of two. Has nothing to do with either candidate being evil.
Quote: SOOPOOThe shooting will help trump. Democrats are saying it is a gun control problem. Trump will say it is a Islamic Terrorirst problem. Right or wrong, the American public will side with Trump.
Yep, politicians condemning his comments about "being right" already. And with he public being sick of politicians falls right into his trap...they fall for it every time....trump maybe the most talented troll we've ever seen.
At the moment [NB exchange odds]
4/11 Clinton - is favourite at 1.37 (i.e. $1 returns 1.37 for 37c profit)
100/30 Trump (at 4.4)
50/1 Sanders (at 55.0)
80/1 Biden
200/1 bar (i.e. any named other).

This article was written in the afternoon yesterday.
After the article was written, Donald doubled down on his completely insane comments about Obama. When asked to clarify on a radio show, he did his usual "people can't believe what is going on" .... "I'll let you figure out what it happening" ... word salad nonsense.
I can't wait for all his Republican endorsers to get asked "Do you agree with Donald Trump (who you've endorsed) that Obama could have been involved in the Orlando shooting?"
Grab the popcorn.

That first debate between Clinton and Trump is going to be an absolute circus, and I think might even decide the election.
1) Trump does what Trump does, and people love him for it, regardless of whatever nonsense comes out of his mouth. His popularity skyrockets and he becomes president.
2) Clinton destroys Trump because he's a mediocre businessman and TV star and doesn't know a d**m thing about politics, whereas she has been doing it for decades. Clinton's popularity skyrockets and she becomes president.
I just posted about Liars and A$$holes in another thread.Quote: TigerWuThat first debate between Clinton and Trump is going to be an absolute circus, and I think might even decide the election..
I'm thinking that 'Liars and A$$holes' should be the 'Headline Theme' for this debate ;-)
<edit> so I picked up the Batphone and asked each campaign what they thought of the concept.
Got two responses:
- You can't handle the truth!
- It's the Art of the Deal!

I hope Gary Johnson doesn't gain enough steam in the polls to get him in the debate.
I want Trump v. Clinton one-on-one for 90 minutes.
Trump can't sustain himself for that long. He's never debated with any less than 4 people on the stage. He knows nothing about anything. You could only spew your sound bites for so long. Hillary is a good debater. She can talk substantially for long periods of time. Trump can't. He will go for personal attacks.
Trump could tank like Obama did in his first debate against Romney and he will still claim victory no matter what (and Drudge will back him up).
No nut job entertainment this year.
Clinton ahead by 12 points. Yes, it's June. Polls don't matter that much. But if more polls like this come out and it becomes a trend that Trump is down by close to double digits, expect a panic to set in among the right.
Also, there is a lot of good info below the line regarding various issues if you click on the link.
The poll was conducted before and after the Orlando shooting:
Quote:While the shooting didn’t alter the poll’s night-by-night findings in the presidential race in any significant way, the incident did alter the trend lines on other measures.
The proportion of Americans saying the nation is on the right track dropped to 19 percent from 27 percent, when compared before and after the Orlando incident. The share saying terrorism or the Islamic State is the most important election issue rose to 28 percent from 16 percent.
When two days of polling before Orlando are compared with the two days after, President Barack Obama's job approval rating dropped to 51 percent from 55 percent, while his favorability dropped to 52 percent from 57 percent.
Trump's suggestions that Obama hasn't taken forceful enough action to stop domestic terrorism because he sides with Muslims landed with a thud for the majority of Americans, with 61 percent disagreeing with the suggestion. A strong majority—69 percent—also disagree that law enforcement agencies should increase surveillance of all American Muslims, even if it conflicts with civil liberties.

"the right" is not as in favor of Trump as you seem to believe. They do not consider him their candidate. Replace the word 'panic' with "resigned to the fact that Hillary will be the next president" and I will agree with you.
What odds can I get on Trump not even garnering 100 electoral votes?

Yes I am aware. By "the right" I was mainly referring to what I guess most people would refer to as the "establishment."
If these polls keep trending this way, what does Paul Ryan do? What do vulnerable Senators in Ohio, Wisconsin, NH, etc. do? Is it too late to steal the nomination from Trump?

I don't know if it is too late to "steal" the nomination at this point since the convention is still in the future and I don't even think that all of the rules are written, but I do believe they really get nothing by doing that...Trump would raise heck and possibly attempt to get on ballots or be the largest write-in candidate ever, and the result would not change. The now even further divided party would lose by more electoral votes than with Trump running; possibly by record numbers.
Nope....pretty much Trump is the only chance for the Presidency on that side and they need to either support him or organize to support the lower-level candidates and hold as many seats as possible. The possibility looms of lower-level candidates running against Trump, Clinton, and their Democrat opponent.
Not a pretty picture...
...but it is far from over!
Hopefully Trump was right when he said the people of Florida hate Rubio so much, he couldn't be elected dogcatcher!
Quote: ams288Marco Rubio is indicating that he may want to run again and try to keep his senate seat in Florida.
Hopefully Trump was right when he said the people of Florida hate Rubio so much, he couldn't be elected dogcatcher!
Looks bleak for Marco Polo:
Only 32% of voters in the state approve of the job Rubio is doing as Senator, to 54% who disapprove. Those numbers make him one of the least popular Senators in the country. Even among Republicans his numbers are barely positive at 51/37 and he does very poorly with both independents (25/54) and Democrats (18/70). Only 39% of voters in the state want him to run for reelection this year, compared to 51% who say he should sit it out.

Quote: RonC“As a Muslim I object to Hillary Clinton,” he said. “I don’t believe a woman should be the president of a nation. As our prophet … taught us, whenever a woman is in charge there’s going to be problems. What if she’s on her menses and it’s time to go to war, is she going to press the button because she’s angry?”

I genuinely appreciate you noticing how ludicrous these remarks were specific to Hillary. However, I'd go one step further and say they're ludicrous remarks, period. (Yes, I meant to say that.) A woman's ability to be sensible, logical, and professional are not dependent on whether Aunt Flo is visiting.
I will allow that in a personal relationship with a husband or SO, (since this is a mostly male board), there might be noticeable mood swings with some women specific to your dealings with her. But the misogyny and ignorance of that guy's statement is profound. And certainly not a valid reason to vote against any female candidate.
A lot of health practitioners hypothesize that men have in some form the equivalent of menses. That is mood swings, hormonal ups and downs, changes of pace in cognition and the like.Quote: beachbumbabsI genuinely appreciate you noticing how ludicrous these remarks were specific to Hillary.

I assume many of them are already thinking beyond the election and to damage control. Trump is Katrina, and it's already too late to do much to save New Orleans at this point as Trumps on the 5 day (relative) projected path to landfall.
"Donald Trump’s ruling philosophy – and sudden favored motto of the campaign – has a Nazi-friendly background.
In recent Twitter posts and speeches, he’s touted #AmericaFirst, which has its origins with Americans who supported the Nazi regime in the 1930s."
http://www.chron.com/news/politics/election/article/The-Nazi-era-influence-behind-Donald-Trump-s-new-8212618.php
While the story may be "correct" about the things that happened after Woodrow Wilson first used the tern, there is nothing linking Trump to the Nazi part of it...which the headline implies--"The Nazi era influence behind Donald Trump's new favorite motto"...
I am fine with them finding every flaw in Trump's past and in his speeches, but they pretty much ignore Hillary's lies about the emails and the other issues surrounding her.
Before anyone gets upset about that statement, Hillary may never face any charges related to the email scandal but there is no doubt that she has lied and changed her story.
Politically, the more dirt they dig up now, the less opportunity for an "October Surprise"...

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong in wanting to put America first, and all citizens and politicians should promote the “America First” idea to UNITE America.
But unfortunately for America, Trump's idea of America First's is largely centered on his demagogue & incendiary languages in the context of racial hierarchy that brings back memory of the Hitler & Nazism. And Trump's use of demagogue & incendiary languages to manipulate the angry crowds is very DIVISIVE and full of racism (or at best is “tinged in racism”).
Hillary's email is FULLY covered by the press from all sides, and it appears to me that the press is very critical of Hillary on this. IMO, Hillary's large negative opinion is largely due to the press coverages of her private email server and her Wall Street connection. And her negative opinion is then magnified much bigger with the attacks by the GOP, GOP's media & talking head machines, and the Dem's very own Bernie Sanders.
With regarding the press' coverage, the one person that benefits the most from the press during this 2016 election cycles is Trump himself (even Trump admitted that he had received many free press coverages and therefore; he does not need large sum of money to advertise his campaign and to spread messages).

Trump benefits the most from the press coverage because he actively seeks the press and talks with them. Hillary almost refuses to talk to the press.
Hillary's emails have not been "fully covered" at all--if they were "fully covered" the press would be digging much deeper in to what was really in the emails on that server. They also spend very little time on her foreign connections; those are actually more frightening than the email thing. Everyone said that Bush was in bed with Saudis...how many people is Hillary in bed with.
We disagree on the coverage, and that is fine...

The Trump Foundation, Donald Trump’s nonprofit organization, is under fire for allegedly operating as more of a political slush fund than a charity. The foundation is accused of violating rules prohibiting it from engaging in politics—prompting ethics watchdogs to call for public investigations.

An excerpt taken from the link above:
In addition, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), who is slated to chair the Republican National Convention next month in Cleveland, said in remarks released Friday that House Republicans should “follow their conscience” on whether to support Trump.
KASICH: You can either look at people's problems, and unite them and give them hope, or you can look at people's problems, polarize them, and get them to double down on negativity. Donald Trump called me, and he said, you know, can you support me? I said, we're like two companies, we have different values, different visions. Kind of hard to put that together. So, I'll send you my "Two Paths" speech. And, you know, either there's going to be dramatic change, or I can't find my way there. My message matters to me, Joe...
So, what, they just throw democracy out the window? The delegates want to tell all the people who overwhelmingly voted for Trump that their votes didn't matter? I don't like Trump either, but he won fair and square. Don't blame him, blame the people who voted for them. And respect their votes.Quote: 777Dozens of GOP delegates launch new push to halt Donald Trump
Quote:Trump ended the month of May with $1.28 million on hand. That's disastrous. It's unbelievable. It's less than a tenth of what he should have. It's less than a well-run congressional campaign should have. It's $40 million less than Hillary Clinton's campaign has. It's Donald Trump in a nutshell.
Fun fact: the campaigns of Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson(!!) all had more cash on hand than Donald Trump's campaign as of May.
