US General Election Thread III: Clinton vs. Trump

[Eol Sha]

He botched Trump winning the Republican Primary though, right?

Granted, almost no one would have thought that would happen at the start.

Silver is far better at general than primary partially cause no one really realized just how angry the white working class was (the ones who didn't have a college degree) at the status quo. Plus demographics of the Republican party are radically different from that of the Democrat Party.

Lot's of people realized it. Just no one in the punditry or at the head of the Republican Party.

Omg have u read the GOP post-2012 election report? It talked all about bringing minorities, the younger voters and women into the fold of the party....
Yeaaaa 2016 isn't following that model...

[Patridam]

So Donald Trump may or may not have early onset dementia, and Hillary Clinton has a handler carrying seizure medication for her and has a tendency to fall. Is... Is Johnson at least healthy?

You fall once and you're unqualified for the presidency, I guess.

It's hardly unexpected that we would make fun of her for falling, lord knows that the media never let Ford live it down despite the fact it was a fluke as he was a healthy former athlete).

So how does that explain Gerald Ford?

Perhaps it's that falling merely makes you ineligible to win an election.

That's not the "evidence" to which I was referring. This would be more relevant:

You're reaching.

I didn't say the evidence was undeniable, I just wanted to clarify this what the evidence I was referring to and not the one "debunked" by Snopes.

Incidentally, I don't think that guy is a bodyguard. He's wearing the wrong shoes and that tie is extremely suspect, not to mention there's no badge on his belt. I also don't see a gun, but the angle of the shot could be the cause of the gun not showing.

There are undoubtedly bodyguards around the Clintons at all times; however, this guy is not a bodyguard, he is a doctor/medical handler. He's been with by Hillary's side for 3 years now:

and you think the ss man would hold it in his hand at all times?

seems a little unlikely to me.

Not a secret service man, a doctor/medical handler privately hired by the Clintons. And he obviously doesn't hold it in his hands at all times, there would be more photos of him holding it then; he was perhaps putting it in a different pocket or something when this photo happened to be snapped.

Omg have u read the GOP post-2012 election report? It talked all about brining minorities, the younger voters and women into the fold of the party....
Yeaaaa 2016 isn't following that model...

OMG, did you actually read what my comment said?

Yeah, no shit it's not following that path. The structure and rhetoric of the modern Republican Party more or less precludes it from appealing to anyone but older, White Americans.

Of course, I didn't. I was 16. I do remember reading and hearing and watching videos about the contents of the report, though.

Like edited into the post you responded to: Yeah, no shit it's not following that path. The structure and rhetoric of the modern Republican Party more or less precludes it from appealing to anyone but older, White Americans.

Also, sorry about bein' snarky. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Looool nah it's ok. Lol I just woke up and started going on NS before I do other stuff.
Yea I was looking over the entire report earlier. It actually seemed like a game winning strategy (at least from what I saw fem it) if the nominee wasn't either Cruz or Trump.

Maybe Brining the young, non-white male voters is the purpose of the Republican party this election...

The three words that summon Obama the Daemon General.

Oh wait. Lol. Brining.

Not true at all.

[Geilinor]

I think people have started worshipping Nate Silver as some manner of god or oracle.

But he is very accurate for the past two elections. I trust him and Princeton the most.

The now cast is extremely sensitive, use polls-only instead.

You're assuming bonafide conservatives didn't run away screaming at the sight of Trump.

And his orange hair-wig.

And his tiny tiny hands.

And his dick (the only part of him that's large, the better to fuck everyone sight unseen).

And his lack of conservative bonafides.

Saiwana was a conservative who didn't change sides until recently soooooo...

[Liriena]

Onion, never change.

Donald Trump unveiled his administration’s economic policy plan Monday at the Detroit Economic Club. Here are Trump’s main economic proposals:

Prevent American companies from outsourcing jobs to women or minorities

Lower the corporate tax rate for CEOs too stupid to find a loophole

Do whatever you’re supposed to do with interest rates

Larger numbers for everyone

Round up and deport nation’s manufacturing robots

Raise taxes on the ultra-foreign

Spur innovation by speeding up demise of habitable climate

Cap top income tax rate at 25 percent or 33 percent or 14 percent or something in that general vicinity, but it’s hard to tell where the chips will fall

America’s financial woes to be eased significantly by cash gifts from America’s father

Saiwania's... well, he's not conservative. He's a bigot... yeah, well, the less I say about him, the better. I don't want to get banned again on his account.

I would think that if mrs Clinton needed an antiseizure pen she would keep it in her purse next to her bottle of hot sauce.

Except he's missed the filing deadline in about two dozen states. In Utah, though, he could make a difference.
