If Hillary secretly received 12.7m cash from Russians funneling it through an off-the-books account we'd dismiss it?  Respectfully agree to disagree on this one -- I think there'd be Congressional hearings from now until the Rapture.

At least we know, if Trump gets elected their is a sure thing of an uprising coming.

"The developments in Ukraine underscore the risky nature of the international consulting that has been a staple of Mr. Manafort’s business since the 1980s, when he went to work for the Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Before joining Mr. Trump’s campaign this spring, Mr. Manafort’s most prominent recent client was Mr. Yanukovych, who — like Mr. Marcos — was deposed in a popular uprising."

This is the death nail the media needed for Trump. The mistake needed to be by someone around Trump not Trump himself.
Change the narrative that those around Trump are Terrible too, not just Trump.

Manafort is looking to be the next Axelrod/Rove.

This guy will be in the White House.

This is a report that not only has he been paid millions but also that he may be getting active income from investments with the Putin oligarchy right now.

Trump should change tack or drop out: Wall Street Journal


Republican Donald Trump should fix his stumbling White House campaign by Labor Day or step down, The Wall Street Journal said on Monday in a sharply worded warning from a leading conservative voice.

"Mr. Trump has alienated his party and he isn't running a competent campaign," the newspaper said in an editorial.

The paper's editorial board, which generally favors Republicans, has been critical of Trump but its warning on Monday was its strongest attack yet and echoed growing anxiety among many Republicans over the state of Trump's campaign.

It's true. Shame on them for reporting all the stupid stuff he says. I mean, they actually quote him word-for-word, exactly as he said it, so everyone can hear the stupidity ringing loud and clear. Isn't the media's job to paraphrase and interpret different meanings in his words so that he can sound less stupid? That's what FoxNews has been doing, and they are "fair and balanced" (they told me so, it must be true).

No he's not. The point is the WSJ calling on the GOP nominee to drop out. That's something.

I suppose. I just think it's all pointless because it won't lead to anything. Like Obama saying he should be dumped. Sure it was newsworthy but it won't lead to anything because the Republican leaders are all spineless gutless weasels.  

 
Ivanka vacationing with Rupert and Putin's is interesting, but I would be a lot more interested in a girl's night out shared between Melania and Wendi.  They have a lot more in common.

Love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Wendi:  How many times a week?

Melania:  Once or twice.  He doesn't like sex too much, he doesn't like getting undressed.  Mostly, he just likes blowys under the desk while he watches old videos of himself on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.   

W: HA!  I can see that.  

M:  What about Rupert?

W:  3 times a week.  It was in the contract.  

M:  You had a contract?!?!

W:  Oh yeah, it was part of the pre-nup.  I agreed to 3 because I figured he'd never actually want it three times a week.  My mistake.

M:  Oh?  He's insatiable, huh?  That's a shame.  

W:  Yeah, I try and keep him up late at dinner, and I bribe the waiters to make his espresso decaf.

M:  Smart.  You have any luck hiding his Viagra?  I tried a few times, but......

W:  Ha!  Please.  They keep that #### under lock and key. 

M:  I tried not waxing, but Donald keeps a supply of wax in the bathroom.  It's in this gold urn on top of his golden toilet.  

W:  Gold urn?

M:  Well, gold-plated.  He said gold, but I had it appraised.  Fake.  

W:  Figures.  I tried not waxing, but Rupert was into it.  Freak.  

M:  Geez.

W:  Yeah, total backfire.  Then he wouldn't let me wax at all.  It was a nightmare, like an out of control bonsai down there.  

M:  Lordy.  What about Vlad, do the two of you have an agreement?

W:  Oh yeah, we have an agreement.  I agree to sex whenever he wants, and he agrees to not have me killed.

M:  Girl, stop playin'!

W:  He showed me the grave.  

M:   :unsure:

I agree that he's not going to drop out, but IMO the response of the Republican Party and Republicans in general (and particularly reputable moderate Republican voices like the WSJ) is the most interesting thing that we have left to talk about for the next three months. The outcome is obvious, and the daily doses of stupidity and outrageousness out of Trump himself and his supporters are pretty stale by now. How the Party tries to limit the damage is interesting and relevant -- and it's also a way that something good can actually come from this ####show if the Party gets the message that Trump happened because of the years of pandering to the anger and resentment of the bottom of the barrel. Hopefully it'll drag the right back toward the center where some meaningful dialogue and compromise can happen. I'm not super hopeful, but you never know.

 
Trump building a case (in his own mind - since that's the only person he listens to) for quitting at the last minute?

'I didn't lose. The main steam media is so corrupt that I couldn't win, fairly, like I really would have if they weren't so corrupt, so I am talking my ball and going home'. 'I would have won in a fair election'.

That would be ####### awesome.

"To put these numbers in perspective, USA Today  notes that Trump is faring worse with young people than Richard Nixon did in his re-election effort of 1972—when thousands of young Americans were still being killed in Vietnam. That is as good of an indicator as any how much the Millennial generation detests Donald Trump and what he represents."

Yes, it's Daily Kos, but the numbers that they're talking about come from the USA Today. My question is how much long term damage is Trump doing to the GOP with younger voters? That stink is going to talk a loooong time to wash completely off.

Also, we should probably stop making fun of millenials. They're probably gonna end up saving us from a Donald Trump presidency.

It's a strange situation it's like they have taken a look at the demographics map and decided to piss off any group that is either growing or will vote for more than 50 years into the future.

"Ok, so hispanics are done, they've been thoroughly alienated. We're very very unpopular with African Americans. How about those whining millennials, what can we do to tick them off?"

"A Trump campaign should do the trick." 

"Brilliant, make it so!"

Dems would be struggling over what to do with "Penn" just like Rs are struggling today.

Who am I voting FOR though?  Kasich or even Bush or Rubio would be an easy call over Penn.  Gingrich? Huck? Cruz?  No chance -- might as well stay loyal if it's whackos no matter what.

RNC didn't pick Trump their messed up voters did and it was based on building a wall...and that they watched the guy on an extremely cheesy reality show.

 
 


Trump looking to institute political tests for immigrants




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Trump is also expected to propose creating a new, ideological test for admission to the country that would assess a candidate's stances on issues like religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights. Through questionnaires, searching social media, interviewing friends and family or other means, applicants would be vetted to see whether they support American values like tolerance and pluralism.
Click to expand...


This will be a tough questionnaire, I have no doubt.  
 

Q:  Do you support the freedom that America provides?

  • Strongly Agree
  • Agree
  • Disagree
  • Strongly Disagree
  • JIHAD!!!!!!

Also, they loved that there was a guy who said the things they all wanted to say. Mexicans are rapists! No Muslims in the country! White power!

Yeah, that's the same thing many R's are saying now. They'd vote for Biden or Kaine -- but Hillary is their Cruz. Smart and competent, but evil incarnate.

Guilty.

ETA:  Having said... once it's clear that Kanye/Penn/etc are destroying the party it becomes a much easier thing to do.  If you're going to lose bad either way you might as well lose bad repudiating them.  I think that's the best argument for ditching Trump.  The party is screwed either way, but history won't be kind re: Trump and it's probably easier in the (very) long run to rebuild if you disassociate yourself.

Do Republicans feel that way about Clinton because of her policies, which have generally been center-left, or because they just hate everything about her persona?

I think most of the distaste for Cruz from the left/Dems is based on policies rather than personality, like 80/20 at least.  Whereas with Clinton I get the feeling that the source of the hatred is more like 80/20 the other way.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”  - Donald Trump

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," a campaign press release said.

You were saying?

He didn't say "Mexicans are rapists" or are you saying that there has never been a Mexican that has raped someone?

"No Muslims in the country" would mean kicking out all Muslims. Did he say that?

I think a lot of Republicans hate Cruz for his personality, so I don't see why Democrats shouldn't also hate him for his personality (even if they additionally hate him for his policies).

I think if you ask a lot of Republicans, they might tell you that they hate Hillary's far-left policies -- just as they'll tell you that they hate Obama's far-left policies -- even though in both cases their policies are in fact generally quite moderate (even center-right according to many on the left).

I do agree that, objectively, Cruz's policies are way more extreme (toward the edge of or even outside the Overton window) than Hillary's are; but when it comes to politics, I'm not sure that objectivity has much to do with anything.

 
Hey, play the semantics game all you like.

Doesn't change the fact that he made Mexicans out to be a bunch or criminal rapists and called for a ban on Muslims entering the country.

Perception is reality. 

And semantics aside, every single one of us know what he meant and why he said those things.

 
jamny is right here.  A better statement summarizing Trump's positions would be "the vast majority of Mexican immigrants, including every Mexican immigrant I've ever met, is a rapist or a drug dealer."  And "no new Muslims in the country, and all the ones currently here are very suspicious and we have to keep a close watch on them."

Everyone good with this?

 
I can only if it were photos of Chelsea Clinton on vacation with Putin's girlfriend.  People would be foaming at the mouth over it.

A lot of them think she's going to take away their guns.  Also going to appoint liberal justices.  That's what they're telling themselves to sleep at night voting for the despot that is Donald J. Trump.

 
:lmao:  at the continuing conservative viewpoint that O and Hillary are lefties.

Switching topics, the debates should he held without a live audience present. It's about the governance of the nation, not Family Feud.

Oh stop it. He built his base on the entire premise that we were going to make America white again. Not one person became a gung ho supporter because they thought he had a good economic plan.

That's accurate. Like I said, no need to exaggerate his statements. They are bad enough to begin with.
