trump doing romney numbers

does that count online streaming?

idk

tho it does say broadcast

that might just reflect continued decline in audience for broadcast TV

trump doesn't realise there's any news media other than cable news and the major networks though, so that's got to hurt

Jungle primary, O E O E O

streaming prob still p small for something like this thats available everywhere

Gotta say Clinton retweeting Martin Shrekli's endorsement of Trump in the middle of his speech was pretty genius

her tweet team is def on fleek

the instareadout on youtube last night during his speech only had a couple few hundred thousand viewers

I think that's a strategy that's going to do well for her, deal with him using humor and give the impression that you don't take him seriously. You almost can't hit the guy on policy, because he doesn't have any.

I don't think it would work for her (bc misogyny), but during the primary, Jeb! might've had a fighting chance if he went to one of the debates and just said "Go fuck yourself, Donald."

"Shut the fuck up, Donnie!"

(bc misogyny)

I think it would work for her and I don't get what you mean here.

wow

xp Women's anger reads differently to men's.

Just a great debater except he lost in every single poll in every single debate.

Sometimes his double-speak is legitimately hilarious.

Two other things, just to finish with Ted because I like Ted. He’s fine.

Again, I don’t want his endorsement. If he gives it, I will not accept it. Just so you understand. I will not accept it. It won’t matter. Honestly, he should have done it because nobody cares and he would have been in better shape for four years from now if he’s gonna— I don’t see him winning anyway, frankly. But if he did, it’s fine.

Although maybe I’ll set up a super PAC if he decides to run. Are you allowed to set up a super PAC, Mike, if you are the president to fight somebody?

[Mike Pence shakes his head and mouths the word ‘no’]

ahh, this is the good stuff:

that vox thing... is that parody or transcript? i honestly cannot tell.

because nobody cares and he would have been in better shape for four years from now if he’s gonna— I don’t see him winning anyway, frankly

uh, is he saying that he's going to lose so cruz will be running again in 4 years?

I think he's imagining a Cruz primary challenge to Presidetn Trump 2020. In his mind, he's already won this election, it's the bag, the ratings were through the roof.

Ana Navarro is a hack who would love to marry Marco Rubio tho

Thanks for the dn, Vox transcript.

oops missed the close-quote

Just a great debater except he lost in every single poll in every single debate.

Sometimes his double-speak is legitimately hilarious.

This is intended to be funny, though.

Wondering what Trump is doing on the first day of the General Election? Currently, he's insisting that Ted Cruz's father may have killed JFK

trump still being preoccupied with cruz fits trump's personality to a tee. the more you see of him, the more obvious it is that his neuroses are in the driver's seat

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/03/donald_trump_has_one_core_philosophy_misogyny.html

this is a good piece

The joy he takes in humiliating women is not something he even bothers to disguise. He told the journalist Timothy L. O’Brien, “My favorite part [of the movie Pulp Fiction] is when Sam has his gun out in the diner and he tells the guy to tell his girlfriend to shut up. Tell that bitch to be cool. Say: ‘Bitch be cool.’ I love those lines.” Or as he elegantly summed up his view to New York magazine in the early ’90s, “Women, you have to treat them like shit.”

If Cruz actively continues to needle him and cause him to fly off the rails then I will honestly become a Ted Cruz fan

If you go to that Crooks and Liars Ana Navarro link, you've got to look at Van Jones' face before you hit play on the clip.

While he celebrates his own sexuality, he believes that female sexuality has spun out of control and needs to be contained. The best example of this view is a reality show called Lady or a Tramp, which Trump developed for Fox but never aired. The premise of the show was that Trump would take “girls in love with the party life” and send them off for a “stern course” on manners. “We are all sick and tired of the glamorization of these out-of-control young women,” he told Variety, “so I have taken it upon myself to do something about it.”

Lady or a Tramp was based on a British show called Ladette to Lady, here's the Variety comparison of the two shows.

"[On Ladette to Lady] Girls are required to wear tweed skirts and pearl necklaces, and taught the finer points of skills like flower arranging and needlework.

Contestants then face challenges in those areas, with one girl expelled from the school at the end of each episode.

'Tramp' will follow a similar format and also show ample footage of the girls partying."

I've been surprised at the sheer volume of stupid and crass things associated with Trump

As someone whose physical being is comprised of pure id, I'm genuinely baffled at his general ability to have maintained just enough self-control during this election season to refrain from publicly using any of the big pejoratives that would effectively end his campaign. I guess he still has a little while.

his end goal is to keep being on tv for the next 10 years, so he knows his boundaries I think

jesus christ @ that Vox transcript

also wow Ana Navarro was mad

To be fair, that idiot Trump guy she was arguing with, every time I've seen him speak I've wanted to punch him in the face.

the washington post has seen enough

I'm glad she shut down that "What is wrong with having sympathy for people who are murdered?" line, that truly is disgusting

Wow, that Post non endorsement. When was the last time something like that ran in a major paper? Will it be the last we read this season?

doubt it

my local paper, which is a gannett publication, has really stopped giving a fuck about the "cover both sides" bullshit that has plagued journalism recently and has been publishing mostly editorials with the general tone of "this guy is really fucking horrible and dumb"

HuffPo has its problems, but I respect its policy of closing every article that mentions Trump with the disclaimer:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.

Personal note: I come from a family of journalists, I went to journalism school, I've worked for newspapers and magazines for 20 years. I am reasonably well-versed in the principles of the profession. Balance, fairness, "objectivity" - those don't mean that Both Sides Do It has to be the default angle, or that the truth must be precisely halfway between the positions of major political parties. The "On the other hand, Mr. Hitler contends..." style is just tedious and I see no good reason to continue it. Especially since the right is not ever going to believe that the media is anything other than hopelessly biased against them, so why try?

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?
