US Gen. Election Thread V: The Hunt for Red October Surprise

[Ebliania]

No

You don't think that's a downside?

The point isn't that he'd win, it's that NS would have a cash flow problem defending the suit.

No.

Maybe if we try hard enough we'd get into a Supreme Court case

[Thermodolia]

Gary Johnson is on Don Lemon. This should be good.

[Bombadil]

And the agitator of the story will be some one with striking similarities to trump.

We should throw together an outline. I'm sure he'd like that.

He likes one-word titles, how about Yuge?

Gina..?

It's almost a pun.

Don't talk tough with someone else's money.

Donald Trump vs. Nationstates, Max Barry, et al?

Where we learn that the constitution protects douchebaggery, and criticism of douchebaggery.

Trump being politically correct....how scary.

Symone Sanders is on CNN ripping Trump's new add to shreds, saying that because he praised Clinton's stamina during the last debate, that this D rated political add will hurt him. Mainly because he acts like a Washington insider politician.

It's a good point. Trump's answer to the last question was really good (much better than Clinton's) but it has taken the option off the table to criticize her "stamina".

He can still go after her health though, and he will.

That might or might not work, especially if he keeps sniffing.

Because he has nothing else. He has no real policy proposals except tax cuts, which is hardly original, and promises to somehow make America great. All he can do is insult and attack. Why else would have been talking about 'We was robbed!' for the last couple of months?

Just mod anyone who seems sober for the night and let things sort themselves out.

Discriminating on the basis of BAC is bigoted.

Don't look at me, I won't be a mod.

And then he flip-flops, saying that he loves the Constitution.

The sniffing was disturbing. Do you think the AV people in St Louis said, 'Get him a microphone that can pick up an ant farting at 500 yards.'

He needs to practice with different mics.

It's truly amazing he didn't practice with a mic and get that problem fixed by the second debate.

Someone ITT wondered why he doesn't *sniff* at rallies. I think maybe he does, but with all the crowd noise it's not noticeable. Or maybe he just shouts, because of that noise, but didn't want to do that in the debate so he held the mic close.

Off to the awesome quotes thread with you!

Just have Violet shut the whole website down for the day, problem solved.

NO

I NEED MY NSG[/quote]
Actually thinking about as some one who was for a time a forum admin, all that would need to be done is lock the NSG sub-forum, like the archive you can see, but can't post. Sure, the NS Admins would have a lot of un-happy posters, but the mod team wouldn't have to baby sit the NSG full time. Reppy, she could then take a nap, after drinking two jugs of cider.

Look forward to republican states trying to ban women from voting

They only have 27 days to repeal the 19th amendment.

He must be used to lapel mics.

There WAS a sound problem at the first debate: not on the video feed, but in the auditorium. Trump wasn't as loud as Clinton. Maybe that was even deliberate ('cos having to stay quiet to hear him, his supporters wouldn't cheer or heckle as much) but the debate commission didn't confess to that. Only that there was a sound problem in the auditorium.

The second debate with hand-held mics, Trump has no excuse. He didn't practice, so he sounded bad.

In other news..

US presidential hopefuls do not often intervene in British parliamentary by-elections. But then, not many presidential candidates are Bernie Sanders. And more than that, he is intervening on behalf of his older brother.

Sanders, who missed out on taking the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton, has recorded a brief but heartfelt campaign video aimed at voters in Witney, Oxfordshire, that talks up the attributes of his brother, Larry.

Larry Sanders, who has lived in the UK since 1969, is standing for the Green party in the constituency, which will elect a new MP on 20 October to replace David Cameron, who quit the Commons last month.

Bernie Sanders tells viewers in the video “that I do not know a heck of a lot about British politics”, adding: “But I do know a lot about my brother, Larry Sanders.”

Well the are trying to disenfranchise the poor and African-Americans with these voter ID laws.

[Genivaria]

Just concentrate on that warm ad revenue feeling.

I can see the headlines now.

"Trump attacks Australian author Max Barry over website users' criticism."
"Trump banned from little-known political simulator for racist/sexist/<$term>-ist remarks"
"Book sales spike after Trump goes on Twitter rampage against author Max Barry"
... and so on.

These sound like NS Issues.

*smiles* You know that commission we got you in the Grenadier Guards in 1708, right before Oudenarde? That's still on the books and can be activated at any time.
