    Welcome to the rocky campaign filled with horror show, erotibot!

    I sort of caught up last night but I kinda skimmed through a chunk of pages at 3am so I really need to go back and read this thread again and sort out which bits were real and which were a fever dream.

    I tried my usual skimming but every third post had like a the biggest number of awesome/agrees, seriously it's the biggest. Can't skin all over that.

    I'm kind of hoping this momentum of Trump's implosion keeps up according to the laws of physics where he keeps spinning faster and faster before he collapses into himself to form a black hole the whitest hole possible

    Isn't he facing a racketeering charge right now?

    he's facing civil charges, leaking classified info is another thing entirely

    It could be. It'll depend more on what information he (hopefully doesn't) leaks.

    The gravitational force of a body doesn't change through its collapse, so only things that would have crashed and burned anyways will be "sucked in".

    On a more serious note, you guys need to nip this "bloody revolution" shit in the bloated bud.

    Trump is saying whatever shoots trough what passed for his mind, but the people following him are the real fucking crazies.

    They hear his incoherent blabbering and agree

    "In a four-way race, Clinton led Trump 41-38, but Libertarian Gary Johnson cracked double-digits, with 11 percent of the support, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein notched 2 percent."

    If she takes Georgia, it's over to a comical degree.

    Also, someone commenting on Clinton's ground game:
    You ain't fuckin kidding.

    I was a Field Organizer for Obama in Florida in '08. That campaign, in Florida in particular, was regarded later as one of the best organized voter contact efforts in American history.

    So last night I went to put in a couple hours phone-banking for Hillary Clinton, for the first time.

    The Obama '08 campaign seemed disorganized and amateurish in comparison to the ruthlessly efficient field operation for Hillary Clinton that I saw. In '08 we were rushing around to print up call-lists and train people to register voters on-the-fly. Last night there were a dozen people sitting in neat rows watching a voter-registration presentation done by an organizer who flawlessly answered questions about the process. There were tables set up, and filled, with another dozen people doing calls, the organizers and fellows replenishing call-lists as they ran out. It was a well-oiled machine, and the convention was just last fucking week.

    I don't even live in one of the important districts in the state.

    There is simply no way the Trump campaign can get something up and rolling, field-wise, that's going to compete with Clinton. When people ask you to canvass or phone-bank for Clinton, DO IT if you can! Your efforts will be maximized, I guaran-damn-tee it. These people are fuckin serious.

    Holy shit. She's going to the fucking mattresses

    FTFY

    I go to /pol/ on 4chan so you don't have to even more than you already didn't have to.
    >The door-in-the-face (DITF) technique is a compliance method commonly studied in social psychology. The persuader attempts to convince the respondent to comply by making a large request that the respondent will most likely turn down, much like a metaphorical slamming of a door in the persuader's face. The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, compared to the same reasonable request made in isolation.

    >The persuader attempts to convince the respondent to comply by making a large request that the respondent will most likely turn down
    Donald Trump is trying to convince the American people to elect him as their President. By acting as unpresidential, unsophisticated, and as childish as possible, he knows that this is a request that the majority of Americans will turn down (and they are currently turning it down).

    >The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, compared to the same reasonable request made in isolation.
    Donald will then present himself, likely within the next week or two, in the most presidential manner he can possibly muster. And the American people will eat it up. Trump will likely remain 10 points ahead for the rest of the election once this kicks in. Because Trump has now created a scenario in which "Presidential" Donald Trump will no longer be compared to "Presidential" Hillary Clinton -- he will instead be compared to "Unresidential" Donald Trump. And compared to this Trump, the one we saw in the primary and, more notably, post-convention this new "Presidential" Donald Trump will be a breath of fresh air. He'll speak in full sentences, not streams on consciousness. He'll stay on topic, not wander towards irrelevant inconveniences. And, most importantly, he'll act like the leader of the Republican Party instead of a Hillary plant who wants to watch it sink to the bottom of the ocean.

    This campaign will be studied for generations.
