maaaaaaayybe


here's our boy Newt on the issue:
“The current race is which of these two is the more unacceptable, because right now neither of them is acceptable,” Gingrich said in a Wednesday morning telephone interview. “Trump is helping her to win by proving he is more unacceptable than she is.”

Gingrich said Trump has only a matter of weeks to reverse course. “Anybody who is horrified by Hillary should hope that Trump will take a deep breath and learn some new skills,” he said. “He cannot win the presidency operating the way he is now. She can’t be bad enough to elect him if he’s determined to make this many mistakes.”



Shameless Plug? Boffo Snark Surplus? PA Solidarity? You be the judge!

What. The Fuck. Has. TRUMP. Done?

    Worth noting: Fox News polling is actually reasonable, they're not Rasmussen.

    Which is why Fox News often reports more about Rasmussen polls than their own.

    Doubtful. Given ol HP's worldview, he would have loved Trump.

    About 77% said they had heard of the Khan controversy, and those percentages are for the people who had heard about it.

    It isn't going over well with any group.

    Trump is the Rorschach candidate. Or no, I think someone in the last thread said it better by calling him the quantum candidate: he simultaneously supports every position.

    I have to wonder what the polls would be like in a situation where a democratic presidential candidate made this kind of response

    Isn't the republican party the one that prides itself on supporting the armed forces? How about that mental gymnastics going on

    The response to Trump being an absolute empathy void to the Khan's is quite possibly the most bipartisan thing I've seen in the past 8 years.

    Yeah, but us millennials looking back realize Siouxsie and the Banshees were the best thing during that period! Clearly we're the best generation.

    Honestly, Trumps feud with the Kahns reminds me of nothing so much as The tar baby from songs of the south; the more you fight it the worse you are going to get ensnared in an unwinnable situation.

    Maybe the more you know Trump's position on an issue is, the less you can know Trump's momentum on the issue. There is a fundamental limit to the precision those two variables can be known.


    Is he going to build a wall on the Florida border?

    They have it listed as 87-4 with a 9.5% margin of error. Hispanics aren't listed though.

    Because of course.
    ALEX JONES: And then of course we’ve got the other controversy. Somebody’s got a screaming baby, probably a plant, right up in the front, howling like it’s the end of the world. And Trump’s just real. He says “hey, get that screaming baby out of here,” just like when they say we’re not doing the Star-Spangled Banner, he says we’re doing it. Or when somebody starts a fight to distract everything he says, “Take them outta here, stop being so easy on ‘em, when somebody’s punching people.” That’s why they’re scared of Trump, he’s real.

    Given Trump's cadence when speaking, I can only assume his plan for the cocaine is to snort all of it.

    Because jesus christ, every speech he gives is like being trapped next to a coke-fiend who had many opinions about things and wishes to share all of them via stacking them on top of each other.

    would certainly fit with his '80s business man villain' aesthetic.
