Holy shit. How could I miss that, and I was paying close attention to that election.

Enjoy. It's seven minutes of pure horrifying.
There was also concern for his general state of health due to the whole Vietnamese prison camp thing not generally being good for you. But yes, most all of the attention was initiated because Palin was a profoundly horrible choice for VP, so suddenly you really cared a hell of a lot about McCain's health.
Yeah, his campaign is schizophrenic. My first thought, though, was this is a reactionary move to Clinton's hot new plane and a possibly (?) more press friendly approach.
Nah I'd rather not have to explain the screaming to my coworkers. I've heard enough to know it's dog shit.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's totally within Trump's character to say he'll give them access, wait for the media to say he's "softening" his blacklist, and then not do it.

He can see how much cover fire the ones he hasn't boxed out are providing for him. I do wonder if WaPo will start to tilt anti-Clinton now that they've got their precious access back.
Only shitty thing is that Hillary goes first, so Trump can come out after and just lie about her without any real way for her to respond.
Yeah I remember that. It all comes down to people found that acceptable because "reasons" valid or not. They were not apparently. I remember it got to the point McCain dumped his medical records to select media. That might have been because of the one major outlet attacking his cholesterol levels, again if I remember correctly.
Now I will concede its not to the extent of Hilary. But I would not agree that is because "Hilary" but because of "media".
I would prefer to see things like that over the aug 7 one. If people think it is going to be a lop sided blow out they won't come out to vote. Best to have people think there is a good chance trump will win so they actually go out and vote.
i didn't even think of that, that's also true

Clinton does not eat in public because inevitably there will be a moment when a person who is eating looks silly, and the press would plaster that one second of silly-looking Clinton all over the media. She's had to reorganize her entire life around the fact that the press has had it out for her for decades.
He's already creating job vacancies for Mexicans and he hasn't served for a day.
Not to mention lots of their troop numbers in Eastern Europe were either completely fictitious or nonfunctional as military units.
This is also not the FEC filing so we'll see how real it is. In June he claimed he'd raised 51 but had actually raised 26.

Well, I know that. But the point is the average reader probably does not. I'd bet there are other instances of this kind of conduct worth investigating but the press is more interested in whether Trump the trained monkey can juggle bananas.
And not whether, you know, he might actually be a corrupt piece of shit.
He can make Dallas vote blue because we probably would anyway... people don't realize that conservative newspaper or not, Dallas is a lot more liberal than most of the rest of the state (other than Austin). It's getting all those small town Texans to vote for Hillary that's probably never going to happen, unfortunately. But we can still dream.

That's...extremely odd, considering how Gary Johnson polls better than other 3rd parties.

Man, I started this and thought you were going to do the whole thing in verse and got all excited
There are still Dem holdouts angry about the primary who have no fucking idea what Johnson's ideology or party platform is, plus conservative but non-whackjob Republicans who prefer Clinton to Trump but a bootstrapper to Clinton. That poll has Clinton with 77% of Obama 12 voters in a 4 way and 84% in a 2 way, while Trump has 83 and 86 of Romney voters.
