US General Election Megathread: Trump vs Clinton

Hillary's poll aggregate has gone up from +2.4 to +3.8 today, generally a positive trend and Sanders hasn't even dropped out yet.

I think reality is starting to sink in for some people that were in denial about Bernie losing -- even if he hasn't officially dropped out.

I've got my popcorn ready. The real trip begins now. First we have the BernieBro meltdown, then we'll have the.. whatever Trump fanboys are called meltdown in November. It's just grade A popcorn from here on out.

ooooo Elizabeth warren is tearing trump a new asshole

"Donald trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and who serves no one but himself. and THAT is just one of the many reasons he will never be president of the united states"

methinks she is going to get some mean "pocohontas" tweets!

It's the best campaign speech that I've seen since 2008. If she's auditioning to see if she can fulfillt the traditional "attack dog" role of a V.P. pick, then I'd say that she passed it with flying colors. Here's the whole thing, worth watching in its entirety.

You're right; that is a good speech.

"Trump is criticising Judge Curiel for following the law, instead of bending it to suit the financial interests of one wealthy and oh-so-fragile defendant."

Gosh, I'd marry that woman.

A Clinton-warren ticket?

Nope.

[Liriena]

A Clinton-warren ticket?

Nope.

Why not? Sure, Clinton isn't the best thing ever, but Warren is pretty great.

warren is the only one I would have dropped Clinton to support.

[USS Monitor]

Warren....outside of the progressive camp, she isn't all that well liked.

I can't imagine she's particularly well liked today among progressives, now that she's betrayed the very progressive ideals she claimed to fight for.

Dude, what are you talking about? She endorsed Clinton for the good of the party cos she wants to help beat Trump. If she was really abandoning her progressive ideals, she would have endorsed sooner instead of waiting till the voters had their say.

Warren was the one the progressive wing of the Democratic Party was begging for, before Sanders came along.

let me put this in a way only i would describe.

Clinton i cant stand, Warren i....just dont like.

There are INDESCRIBABLE things id rather do to myself then have a democratic ticket featuring either of them.

well then it doesn't matter what you think of who should be on the ticket. a non-endorsement from a non-democrat is a good thing.

Yes, because fuck the frustrated ones that left.

I was lurking when i notice you didn't actually state the reason you don't like her.
Mind telling us why or do you just want to reiterate your uncomfortableness with the possible ticket?

Better then a Corporate shill that the DNC had hand picked.

She is far to much of a progressive for my tastes. Personally.

heard of a report that Warren (and others) wanted the fed to be "More diverse" . For some reason. thats the most recent one i can think of.

and i could only guess her stance on the 2nd amendment which is probably a major turn off for me.

It's true. She did make that demand... and she and her colleagues actually had a point.

I'd guess if that's an important gripe for someone fair enough. But for me it's not.

and is it actually going to solve...anything?

other then just the politicians patting themselves on the back for a job well done?

Not sure why you think that report was worth getting upset about... It's not really a big thing.
