Apparently Van Jones is quoting LL Cool J in his analysis?

You think this is where the brats abandon him? Or is someone else just gaming the polls more than they usually do?

i guess the only suspense is did he merely fully destroy himself or did he also take down a dozen or so extra republicans down ballot candidates with him after tonight?

Looking forward to every GOP elected official having to answer whether or nif they will accept election results. "Yes" answers will make them look like weak losers, "no" answers will make them look insane/dangerous. Win/win!

nah, they're in for the long haul, and like you say, online polls of this ilk are notably unscientific, people can vote 8 times etc. but it's just hilarious, as that's the type of online poll he'd usually win by like...30%

when trump loses the election i wonder if he's going to concede, or if he'll see how much more damage he can do by declaring it was illegitimate so horrible and so unfair

― arts and crafts THIS GUY (daria-g), Friday, June 3, 2016 10:31 PM

at least what he said tonight gives everyone esp the media plenty of time to prepare for this so that when it happens we all mostly shrug and go, well, we knew this loser was going to act like a loser

also lol if he holds out on conceding until the very last votes on the west coast come in & that helps dem turnout on the margins enough that people like darrell issa lose reelection

could someone maybe build a fake White House and let him think he's President

Discussed upthread I think.

Or on twitter. There was an extensive discussion of that idea somewhere.

calling people 'nasty' reminds me that trump's insult vocab hasn't been updated any more recently than the cut of his suits

It still boggles the mind how awful Donald is at this but IMO the dumbest thing he did was interject "It should have" when Clinton mentioned the Emmy thing, it pretty much singlehandedly backed up everything she's been saying this whole time

it's funny that he never figured out that like, in addition to the benefit of allowing you to speak freely on a subject without getting tongue tied or rambling, debate prep also prevents you from getting agitated to where you instinctively say CANDIDACY-LOSING SHIT multiple times during a debate.

Neanderthal, Thursday, 20 October 2016 03:50 (seven years ago) link

he's got too much of an ego problem to ever let anyone stop him from saying whatever he feels like at any given moment inc candidacy-destroying things.

FREE BRADY (daria-g), Thursday, 20 October 2016 03:53 (seven years ago) link

There were so many times Hillary straight trolled him tonight and he just couldn't help going for the bait. It got to be like watching someone who doesn't even like dogs throwing the same stick again and again, rolling her eyes at the audience like, can you believe he's still chasing this stick?

JFC @ those Alex Jones clips. I'd cut a mile-wide berth around anyone who thought his ravings were anything other than an expression of profound mental illness.

Neanderthal, Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:18 (seven years ago) link

I don't know how anyone can watch any Alex jones clip and not feel profoundly sad, not just because of the afore mentioned mental illness - but also that enough people agreed someone with such an obvious sickness should have his own show and that there seem to be enough viewers to keep it going.
