The nation may survive, but the wound to hope and order will never fully heal - US elections 2016: the october surprises

Citing a need to spend more time with his family?

was wondering the same thing --- if he did, who in their right mind would step up and take the role of vp

Ivanka, duh

Rudy

ailes

Cosby

Idk. Dude is such a cartoon villain of a person. Anyone who has defended him through the course of this election seems ridiculous.

He's an assaulter of women, a promoter of violence, and a one time leader of a lynch mob

Like, the central park 5 thing should have been more than enough for even the most repressed conservative in denial anout their own sublimated racism to deapise him. He wanted to change the law to execute children. He still maintains that these men were guilty

The ad is a paean to "hatred." Like, in the literal sense in that he says he wants to be allowed to "hate" criminals rather than see crime as a complex social problem

All of this is gratuitous to say on this board I guess but I still don't think we should forget about trumps
Enablers in the coming years

The only thing pence is apopleptic about is his political fortune moving forward

I really hope the Dems can capitalize on this in an effective way. They are shockingly bad at twisting the knife. EVERY Republican needs to be painted with the Trump brush. Even if they're able to bribe him to get out or there are some last-minute brokered shenanigans, the GOP needs to be synonymous with Trump for the foreseeable future. The way it should be synonymous with Sarah Palin, or that asshole Texas LT Gov tweeting about how those gays in Orlando "reaped what they sowed", or the Georgia Senator who read the verse from Psalm wishing an untimely death on Obama - the list goes on. These aren't talk radio loons. Excepting Palin, these are high-ranking office-holders. Even 'normal' guys like Paul Ryan should be tainted by the very fact that he has an (R) after his name

How often is Hillary campaigning with senators in key races? Obama? I haven't seen much discussion.

I don't know how much campaigning she's doing (outside of swing states), but much of the loot from fundraisers goes to the DNC and state parties.

this is key:

In the immediate aftermath, however, the controversy could freeze a final tranche of big donations that were set to flow to super PACs such as Great America PAC.

“We are in a very precarious place when it comes to raising money,” said Rollins, who has been counting on a contributions that have been pledged but have yet to materialize.

Backing Trump atm is the same as throwing one's money down a rat hole. And a particularly turd-bestrewn one at that.

Just saw that. RNC cutting bait.

trump's admission that he didn't score on this particular occasion

Interesting; I'll watching carefully to see if the PUA alt-right crowd will soon decamp from Trump and look past him to a hypothetical next hero, someone virile enough not to be even concerned with what women will "let" them do.

"Trump didn't manage to nail that stuck-up bitch, even though she should by rights have acquiesced to his male power. And then he spinelessly apologized! Clearly Trump's a beta cuck loser. Another betrayal. Next time we need a REAL alpha male. KURGAN '20!"

is there anything more revolting than mra idiom and ideology?

lol at the idea trump gets to pick his replacement

"as the owner of a 1984 Pontiac Sunbird, abortion is immoral and repulsive"

TRUMP'S IDEA OF LOCKER ROOM TALK: I love sex crimes.
ACTUAL LOCKER ROOM TALK: Jesus, that old man is using the hand dryer on his asshole.

omg

Given everything we know about trump, do repubs actually think he will step down? Like, what is the benefit would there be to him?

chances she ditches him after the election?

Oh gurl, it's only been 24 hours since this came out. He hasn't had enough time to apologize for everything he's done behind your back yet.

If half of Trump's voters go to Evan McConnill, he could win the state.

For 80 years, the Deseret News has not entered into the troubled waters of presidential endorsement. We are neutral on matters of partisan politics. We do, however, feel a duty to speak clearly on issues that affect the well-being and morals of the nation.

Accordingly, today we call on Donald Trump to step down from his pursuit of the American presidency.

"Focus on the important issues, like what Bill Clinton did 20 years ago..."

Is this more about the republicans trying to disassociate themselves from Trump and salvage what's left of their reputation rather than anyone actually thinking he will withdraw? or do they think there a way that Trump can be convinced that he will save more face than by going now?

This morning, Pence called Trump and told him he had to handle the next 48 hours alone. He didn't think he'd be an effective surrogate.

He should stand by his man.

as an example of how bad 538 is when it's someone other than nate silver doing the writing, the headline article posted at 2pm today was

"Will The Trump Tape Have A Bigger Effect On The Race Than Past Controversies?"

the deseret news editorial contains the line

"America’s locker rooms deserve better."

Ha, I almost added that to my pull quote but I wanted to ensure I didn't get scooped

I wonder if Trump supporter show the same sympathy they are giving Trump to the cashier at Piggly Wiggly who gave them incorrect change

trying to imagine the questions at the town hall tomorrow

"Mr Trump - you have recently come under criticism for inappropriate conversations made about women's genitalia--"

'Oh RELAX, goddammit, I obviously ain't gonna grab YOURS!'

(audible gasps)

'...b-b-because I'm a changed man now, you see...as of 12:23 am'
