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

[Cymrea]

I was really hoping for a viable third-party nominee, but neither Johnson nor Stein look terribly sane, let alone presidential. And while they have some interesting ideas, the lack of tight cohesion in their policies renders them disappointingly unviable.

Trump...is an unmitigated - though oft-aggravated - disaster.

So, vote Hillary?

In Oregon? You could vote Bert/Ernie and the states still going Hillary.

*sigh* Yeah.

Big Bird for president! Make Sesame Street Great Again!

More groping allegations against Trump. I wonder if the Ecuadorian Embassy has room for him as well.

I think they are trying to get rid of the current guest.

I'm going to be interested in who initially approved his plea for sanctuary. And who may have paid them to do so.

Hey, people! What have I missed?

Galloism put a lampshade on his head and got naked.

He does that every other week, so it's not exactly a once in your lifetime occurrence.

He wasn't very memorable

Interesting tidbit I just thought about.

Clinton wore red to the first debate, blue to the second, and white to the third.

Just sayin', guys.

I'd believe it.

Clinton wore red to the first debate, blue to the second, and white to the third.

If deliberate, that's actually fairly subtle and clever.

didn't John Oliver do a piece on this? As he has it the whole thing had to be approved by a good doezen or so different government agencies.

What has American politics come to where people start quoting comedians?

All government agencies are crooked and rigged though, we can't trust them.

Though I'm pretty surprised that the democrats would be the ones to do that. I've always thought the republicans had the stranglehold on super patriotism

Did you somehow forget about 2008 or 2012?

Well after all the shit they got at the convention for not having any American flags I guess they decided to switch it up.

“That is more an insult to the current state of journalism than it is a compliment for the state of comedy.”

Nah, they kind of abandoned that for "America is ruined, we love Putin!"

The Democrats have been going for the American exceptionalism ground since the convention, at least. I'm not entirely happy about that, but since the Republicans gave them an opening...

Guess they couldn't be patriotic about a country run by a black Democrat.

So... *sniff* I did watch the debate. Clinton deflecting when asked about Wikileaks and the Clinton Foundation was waaaaaaaaaaaay too noticeable. If Trump had not gone full toddler tantrum later on, it would have been a draw at best.
Trump continued to deliver insubstantial answers on pretty much every question, but he still managed to land a few decent hits on her... and then he went off the rails.

And there went Trump's last chance to save his campaign.

If I was allowed to run, I'd just mast a US Flag on the back of my chair. Everywhere I went, Old Glory would be in full furl behind me.

Geh, he's overrated. He only became so popular because the Prophet Stewart retired and Colbert took over Letterman's show. I almost feel bad for Colbert, though. His ratings are shit and he had to drag Stewart out of retirement to get any attention.

Well researched comedians, my friend.

Although, no matter what he found on the other scandals, there's still no excusing the damn Swiss File Transfer.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

It seems the main reason for antagonism of Americans toward the Latins is because they see them as unloyal citizens.

There's a lot of reasons, but unloyal citizens isn't the most popular one. It's a fringe notion.

Also "the Latins"... *cringe*
