Cruz's thing about Trump disrespecting his wife and father gives Cruz a (fleeting) Gary Cooper gravitas, and leaves Trump looking like Jack Elam.

Jack Elam was briefly premier of Nova Scotia in the mid-'90s.

“They have a picture, an old picture, having breakfast with Lee Harvey Oswald. Now, I’m not saying anything. They said — and here’s how the press takes this story. So this has nothing to do with me. Except I may have pointed it out. But it had nothing to do with me! I have no control over anything! I might have pointed it out. But they never denied it. Did anybody even deny it was the father? Did anybody ever say, ‘oh, that’s not really my father’? That’s a little hard to do because it looks like him. So here’s the story. The press takes that and says, Donald Trump and his conspiracy theories. He went out and said his father was with Lee Harvey Oswald and he assassinated the president. What did I do?” “I know nothing about his father. I knew nothing about Lee Harvey Oswald. But there was a picture on the front page of the National Enquirer which does have credibility, and they’re not going to do pictures like that, because they get sued for a lot of money if things are wrong. Okay? A lot of money. And there’s a picture. And that’s the only thing I know.”

Taking a break from Trump for a couple of seconds, Evan Bayh and Russ Feingold - how common is it for senators or congressmen to quit for a few years, and then return (I presume well-rested and enriched)? Are there others this cycle getting back into the game?

Oh, wait, I see what I thought. He lost, but then declined various calls for him to run for other stuff - gov, press, etc. He lost in 2010, so I guess this is just his first op to run for senate again?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 22 July 2016 16:35 (seven years ago) link

Anyway, back to Trump. I hope he spends the rest of his days on earth ripping on Cruz. Like, no one will tell him he's lost, or what month/year/day it is. He'll just keep going and going until he dies.

geometry-stabilized craft (art), Thursday, 11 August 2016 00:17 (seven years ago) link

it's hard to imagine that the poll isn't an outlier. what could possibly have happened over the last week that moved the electorate so significantly? maybe the new clinton foundation revelations? but are enough people really paying attention to that story to move all those voters over? (could be, i'm continually surprised by how much americans care about email servers.) you'd think ppl most likely to follow the 'scandal' and make a decision based on it already did so a long time ago.

YOU GUYS HEY HEY HEY YOU GUYS

The Trump-NAMBLA thing (which many, many people have been talking about) just got a serious real-life shot in the arm. I'm watching the Maddow show right now, and they're talking about how yeah, Clinton had Dad Mateen sitting right behind her and therefore in most shots. Right-wingers were all like "nice vetting there lol, clearly she likes homophobic terrorist-breeders."

Okay, but at Trump's rally today? Who is in the shot but Mark Foley.

Stress Over Family Finances Propelled Hillary Clinton Into Corporate World

this is like if they got one of the "What You Get For $2 million" authors to write a piece about Hillary Clinton's terrible struggles

Even some of Mrs. Clinton’s allies privately say they are mystified by her choice to make the Wall Street speeches, given the likelihood that they would become an issue in a presidential campaign. And to some of them, her financial moves clash with the selfless Methodist credo to do good for others that she so often says guided her toward a life of public service.

But her longtime friends say the contradiction is rooted in Mrs. Clinton’s practicality and the boom-and-bust cycles that have characterized her life with Bill Clinton.

At no time did those stresses fall more squarely on Mrs. Clinton’s shoulders than in the difficult two-year period in Arkansas when she and her husband found themselves cast out of office, financially strained and deeply uncertain about the future. And the memory of that time shaped her desire to be free from financial burden.

“Hillary had a couple years of the taste of what it means to be a working mother, without any help, to have to take care of a small baby and care for your job,” said James B. Blair, a close Clinton friend and lawyer who offered Mrs. Clinton investment advice in the 1970s.

http://i.imgur.com/wNcH3L7.jpg

It was one of the smallest houses on the block in Little Rock’s Hillcrest section, and Mrs. Clinton largely bought it with her own money, the month after that devastating 1980 election loss.

omg, poor hillary. what a DUMP

The Clintons had stretched their finances to afford the $112,000 home, which was down the hill from the city’s old-money mansions. The sprawling estate of Winthrop Rockefeller, the celebrated former governor, was so close that it practically cast a shadow on the Clintons’ grassy backyard.

aww man they had to live next to a mansion? it must have been so embarrassing to live next to an estate of a former governor, how did they do it?!

Mr. Clinton had turned down out-of-state job offers in academia and Democratic politics, and instead took the only offer he had in Arkansas, to serve “of counsel” for $55,000 a year at the Wright, Lindsey & Jennings law firm, where Mr. Clinton’s longtime adviser Bruce R. Lindsey was a partner.

But he spent most of his time on the road, often accompanied by Mr. Lindsey, trying to win back the hearts of voters.

i don't know how he did it. 55K a year in 1980, and all you do all day is travel around talking to people? fuck and gameboy wasn't even around, wtf, i take back everything i ever said about the clintons

Mrs. Clinton had become a partner at the Rose Law Firm in 1979, and during these lean years

i'll never forget my own lean years when i was having all of those tedious discussions about where my last name would be placed in my law firm's name. i mean i understand the argument for seniority but i was bringing in so many clients, i really should have been listed 2nd if not first. at any rate i sympathize with hillary here

“I’m not sure she ever planned to be a corporate lawyer,” said Lissa Muscatine, a friend and former chief speechwriter to Mrs. Clinton. But she did the work because “she had the earning capacity that he didn’t have as governor.”

i know the purple heart isn't traditionally given to civilians who were not wounded in combat, but can we make an exception here and give it to hillary clinton because i cannot believe these sacrifices

Two years later, the state increased the governor’s term to four years, and the Clintons’ finances appeared more stable. Mrs. Clinton went on to join the board of Walmart, and she continued to work at the Rose Law Firm. By the time Mr. Clinton was running for president, they reported $297,177 in total income on their 1992 tax returns, a sum that would put most Americans in the upper income tier but seemed meager compared with the wealth of his opponents, George Bush and Ross Perot.
