Can we do one more thread just to use "Focus on my balls" as a threat title?

How many senators and reps will be dragged under by the suction of SS Trump.

I honestly wonder very gerrymandering that brought a legislative stalemate for most of the last two decades will work to the GOPs disadvantage in this very special year. A common 55-60% majority is surmountable when the other side can't bring themselves to the polls.

I don't know how the GOP ever recovers from this.

They stop being the GOP as we know it (white nationalism isn't gaining demographically) or completely embrace (if possible to further embrace) their role in fucking everything up in the House and on the state level where they can rig things in flyover country, at least until the economy shits the bed or something else happens to make a disaster for a Democratic executive.

Odds are we'll have 20+ years of a 5-4 or 6-3 moderate-liberal court, though, which is a game changer even on their ability to do the state-level rigging.

Maybe they just have to run out the clock on old racist people dying out so they can shift on bigotry and social conservatism.

I don't know how it just occurred to me but we're about to go at least a full 1/8 of a century without a white male in the big chair. I guess I get why people who are invested in white male hegemony insist that Clinton MUST NOT win. But y'all best prepare yourselves for the transgender Asian Latina president coming around the corner in 2024 cuz your shit is over.

trump on twitter spree rn btw, nothing too zany as yet but the way he's quoting people suggests to me that he either doesn't know how to work twitter, or they took his phone again and he is struggling with an unfamiliar device. kinda hard to read.

The 'tremendous support' tweet was posted from an android phone, next tweet after that (only 5 mins later) from iPhone.

Sure he'll have more than one phone, but could just as well be staff doing it? Idk

Levitz takes Yglesias taking on the Wall Street speech leaks and it's profoundly boring. I think people are quite familiar with how conformist and pragmatic Clinton can be. And Bernie got a lot more mileage out of the speeches being unreleased during the primaries.

I don't get everyone one here saying the Republican Party is going to collapse/break apart. They still have the guaranteed support of 35% of the voters out there. All they have to do next time around is nominate the Reaganest looking mofo they can get their hands on and it'll be back to normal.
