T/S: "you have no idea the support" vs "somebody set us up the bomb"

You guys please tell me GOP can't actually make some kind of insane "Trump agrees to resign on inauguration day" swapout deal

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 8 October 2016 16:59 (seven years ago) link

i think enten over at fivethirtyeight makes a good point here:

"Also, although I may sound like it at times, I am not of Donald Trump’s age. But my father was. And my father, at times, I would say, was not a creepy old man, but a… sexy senior citizen. But I never once heard anything remotely close to these comments [from him]. Not once. And I think we’d be giving Trump a pass if we said that “men of a certain era” speak this way."

yeah i can relate to that. my dad, who fortunately is no longer around to see any of this, was a self-proclaimed "dirty old man" who hit on every single woman he saw. he was also a congenital liar. also, he was insane. despite all that, he did not talk like that. ever.

xp my father is 71 and while he may have talked like that on the streets of Brooklyn in the early 50s or in Vietnam, he sure hasn't for my entire life.

Ben Carson still stands with Trump "100%," Armstrong Williams tells me. Of lewd tape: "It's no different from what you hear in rap music."

Maybe Trump should use "Stick Talk" for his campaign appearance intro music

Pence will leak how upset he is. He'll semaphore it like crazy. But publically he will only express a certain regret and a desire to move on.

A source close to Trump camp told me Pence and his team are “absolutely apoplectic,” "melting down” and "inconsolable.”

OK who else heard "absolutely apoplectic" in Daffy Duck's voice

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

Treeship, Saturday, 8 October 2016 17:39 (seven years ago) link

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

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

Οὖτις, Saturday, 8 October 2016 17:54 (seven years ago) link

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.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 October 2016 18:02 (seven years ago) link

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.

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!"
