the man stood at a podium in front of thousands of people, waving his arms, openly mocking a disabled man like a 2nd grader would

The premise of Michael Moore's speech was pretty spot on IMO. 

It's the same thing that brought on Brexit, you've got a lot of pissed off people. They're mad at the elites, Wall Street, politicians, etc... Voting for Trump is their way of saying #### you (same as Brexit).

The framework is laid out for someone to beat Hillary in 2020 - a non-politician, with good policies, who will tell Wall Street/politicians/corporations to #### themselves and that they have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Obviously this person can't be a racist or lunatic and they should win in a landslide.

The GOP is too stupid to see this easy plan and instead will find some career politician which will bring on another 4 years of Hillary.

 
That guy needs to change his name, because I love Joe Walsh.

Can't decide my favorite: "Life's Been Good", "Funk #49" "Rocky Mountain Way", the guitar work on "Hotel California"- its all great.

This Newt/Kelly thing is gonna leave a mark on the GOP I think.  

Conservative women had to be just appalled. Newt commanding her to say things like a drunken nobleman barking at a housekeeper is kind of a lasting memory.

Agreed. But is there any unbludgeoned areas left to leave a mark?

People like a winner. Trump? Guy's a loser. Don't like losers. America deserves a winner. Hillary's the greatest winner ever. Great energy I tell you.  Real winner.  Great energy.

It's a fairly reliable poll. It was 7 points only a week ago.

I'm telling you man, the public has already forgotten about all the women- that's last week's news. And now the Obamacare rate hikes- I'm a nervous nellie I know. But I think he's gaining and there's still 13 days. I really wish this election was over already.

She's been holding steady as a 6 point lead for 2 weeks...

Worrying about one poll is not conducive to anything.

 
 


Donald Trump discusses Putin relationship in 2013


Trump is denying any links with Putin, but less than three years ago, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts interviewed Donald Trump in Moscow and asked him about any connections he might have with the Russian president. Trump campaign surrogate Boris Epshteyn joins Roberts to explain.

Right, because if you want to ease concerns about Trump being too cozy with the journalist slaughtering* Putin, what better way than to trot out the Russian dude with a thick accent named BORIS. :)

In my first election I could vote in, I saw Jesse Ventura (I voted for Coleman - HOCKEY) beat two strong GOP-Dem Candidates for GOVERNOR of Minnesota.

Things get weird with a Charlie Kelly wildcard.

That was a weird race.  The DFLer, Skip Humphrey, had the strong family name but was the opposite of charismatic.  Norm Coleman had recently switched parties (IIRC, he was elected mayor of St. Paul as DFL, but switched to IR while in office) and therefore had trust issues.  And then Ventura enters the race with more name recognition than sense, but his platform wasn't crazy (he was way ahead of the country on social issues like marijuana decriminalization and homosexual domestic partnership rights) and had a razor-sharp campaign manager in Dean Barkley.  

It was an even race, with all three still in it in Election Day.  Skip had his election night party at a really nice hotel in downtown Minneapolis.  Coleman was at a really nice hotel in downtown St. Paul.  And the Ventura campaign hung out at the horse track down in Shakopee.  IIRC Ventura hopped the rail and ran a lap on the track after he officially win the election, which he won with less than 40% of the vote.

Ventura lasted one term.  The state was lucky his tenure was during a time of economic prosperity.

I don't think Skip ran for a major office ever again.  Maybe state attorney general.

Coleman was hand-picked by **** Cheney to run against incumbent Paul Wellstone for the Senate.  It was a really close race that turned when Wellstone died in a plane crash about two weeks before the election.  Coleman won the election, and in a great moment of the spoils system, Ventura appointed Dean Barkley to finish out Wellstone's term (about six weeks) instead of sending Coleman early and letting him cut ahead of other freshmen Senators in the seniority line.  Coleman lasted one term, defeated in his re-election bid by Al Franken.

So Coleman's lifetime record in statewide elections is 0-1 against pro wrestlers, 0-1 against Saturday Night Live cast members, and 1-0 against the deceased.

A deft politician could come in and take Trump's "lane" in 2020 and have a real shot. All of his personal dirt aside, Trump's objectively terrible at this game.

I sure hope so.  Electing Hillary is not a good thing.  I blame the Republicans for being weak and confused.

It's a win-win dude. If Hillary wins, we get to laugh at all these trumpets and Donald can sleep back to whatever Rock he came out from under. If Trump wins, we have four years to make fun of everyone as Trump's lies and empty promises become evident. There is a perverse part of me who kind of want Trump to win just to sit back and witness the disaster. And also to watch all his supporters have to defend that disaster day after day after day.

This is the kind of thing I usually find very entertaining.  Like when a guy tells you that Donald Driver is the best receiver in the NFL after a half a good season and then proceeds to turn back into normal Donald Driver again.   You then bring it up to the guy every time Donald Driver puts up 3/35/0 on MNF

But for president, I find it less entertaining 

 
I get it. And even if Trump does win Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Nevada, he's still got to win either Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan, because otherwise Hillary still gets to 272- and the polls in all of those states lean strongly for her.

So it looks very good. It's just that his election would be so disastrous- I hate to see any chance of it.

This is obviously incredible and ridiculous and yet not at all surprising. But you know what's gonna be the most profitable thing to come out of this campaign by a mile? When he sells his donor list after the election.

This is a list of hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people who have willingly handed over their hard-earned money to finance a campaign of a man who claims to be worth literally fifty times as much as his campaign has spent thus far. They have done so despite tens of millions of Americans, including the press, essentially yelling "THIS IS A SCAM" and pointing at Trump in their face.

Those are the ####ing Glengarry leads right there.  Every snake oil salesman and pyramid schemer in the country is going to be lined up around the block for those names.

Oh hey guys
 

Regardless of whether this works or backfires, setting back GOP efforts to attract women and minorities even further, Trump won’t come away from the presidential election empty-handed. Although his operation lags previous campaigns in many areas (its ground game, television ad buys, money raised from large donors), it’s excelled at one thing: building an audience. Powered by Project Alamo and data supplied by the RNC and Cambridge Analytica, his team is spending $70 million a month, much of it to cultivate a universe of millions of fervent Trump supporters, many of them reached through Facebook. By Election Day, the campaign expects to have captured 12 million to 14 million e-mail addresses and contact information (including credit card numbers) for 2.5 million small-dollar donors, who together will have ponied up almost $275 million. “I wouldn’t have come aboard, even for Trump, if I hadn’t known they were building this massive Facebook and data engine,” says Bannon. “Facebook is what propelled Breitbart to a massive audience. We know its power.”

Since Trump paid to build this audience with his own campaign funds, he alone will own it after Nov. 8 and can deploy it to whatever purpose he chooses.

We've had a VP candidate turn heel on the other person on his own ticket and actively campaign for another candidate.  And it's not even registering.  That's a fine measure of what a cluster#### this election has been.

 
You people need to turn off the TV and get out into the real world to see what's actually happening.   Do you all just hide in your rooms and read/watch CNN?
