That "lady and tramp" show existed, just without Trump - it was on VH1 and it was called Charm School.

How's Trump going to take people going after him in primetime for 4 days straight next week?

By tweeting?

schwantz, Friday, 22 July 2016 21:11 (seven years ago) link

he's probably going to either call into one of the networks or otherwise try to do some sort of direct counterprogramming.

cable networks, I mean,

The "On the other hand, Mr. Hitler contends..." style

I agree, even if I don't know what the solution is. I heard an NPR report today from some Colorado bar with Trump supporters watching the speech. They apparently decorated it with fake dollar bills and Lego walls, and it was treated with this sort of relatively fair-handled whimsy. But, like, what the fuck, ha ha? They're supporting an openly racist, xenophobic, surely dangerous for the country and world asshole. There's really nothing funny or small-town charming about that. It's scary and needs to be shut down or at least rebuffed. The "damning with their own words" thing only goes so far.

mccain? the guy who thinks that obama literally supports terrorists? fuck no.

big rave warrior (rushomancy), Friday, 22 July 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link

yeah, no way McCain is jumping ship, that guy's only a "moderate" on like 2 issues. He's really just a guy who excels at getting media attention by seeming like the "reasonable" conservative. Also, he's up for re-election this year, and he needs the deep red xenophobic base of Arizona to win.

intheblanks, Friday, 22 July 2016 21:53 (seven years ago) link

I say this as an AZ resident, he's in a race he will win, but one that will be tighter than previous races. There's no benefit for him to back off of Trump, who he's already endorsed

intheblanks, Friday, 22 July 2016 21:54 (seven years ago) link

McCain is the dude that some Dems inexplicably say they like cos of some things he said in 2000 that were supposedly coherent but weren't actually that big of a deal

Neanderthal, Friday, 22 July 2016 21:56 (seven years ago) link

the guy is also going to die next year. I suspect Poppy Bush will die before this year's election and tip the election Hils' way.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 July 2016 21:58 (seven years ago) link

The only thing McCain has done recently that I approve of is apologizing (mildly and years too late) for his egregious pandering to South Carolina racists and confederate flag lovers during the 2008 primary election.

cld see mcain flipping hes a major grumpus "doesnt suffer fools" wld help him in the general in a big latino state + prob his last race, trump insulted his sacred war hero status

lag∞n, Friday, 22 July 2016 22:01 (seven years ago) link

he's going to form the Oldpublican party and we'll be back to a three major party system

Neanderthal, Friday, 22 July 2016 22:05 (seven years ago) link

I wasn't suggesting either of these dudes was a reasonable person or a moderate.

ok, you're absolutely right, i forgot, he's a "maverick"! he could do anything! gosh, who doesn't want to support a human slot machine? :)

John McCain would be giving his Senate seat away if he un-endorses Trump and endorses Clinton, the GOP base in AZ would absolutely abandon him and Ann Kirkpatrick would take that seat.

intheblanks, Friday, 22 July 2016 22:27 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, AZ has a large Latino population, but it's got a little bit of the Mississippi issue, where the white population, which is still the majority statewide, trends much more conservative, and keeps any statewide seats in Republican hands. I live here, and while every other state in the southwest has spent the last 15 years becoming more moderate as demographics change, AZ is doing that at much slower pace.

intheblanks, Friday, 22 July 2016 22:29 (seven years ago) link

the only senator who I can see endorsing Clinton is Mark Kirk, everyone else is too afraid of losing this year by abandoning the base or getting primaried in future years

az is also full of transplants from the midwest.. a friend of mine worked at intuit in tempe and like every single person she worked with went to ohio state and moved the phoenix after graduating.

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Friday, 22 July 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link

Your friend otm, only Nevada has more out of state transplants. I do feel like a ton of Ohioans end up here, way more than my home state of illinois
