Clinton v Trump - The Stretch Run Thread

Republicans are already talking about impeaching Hillary.

Donald Trump’s campaign has spent more on hats than on polling.
Quote from the Washington Post article:

Pretty well sums up the campaign, really. I wonder how much of a cut he gets from the buying of hats?

Did anyone else think immediately of Monty Python’s Meaning of Life when they read that?

Of course they are. This is going to go on for the next 4, perhaps 8 years. The Republicans have proved that they simply cannot work with a Democrat in the White House. They have moved so far to the right, and demonized every Democrat that they Simply. Cannot. Govern.

I expect that they will oppose every single thing she does, and attempt to create as much damage and havoc as they possibly can. They will try to shut down the government (again), and refuse to appoint any official. They will have hearing after hearing after hearing, all trying to dig up something, ANYthing on Clinton. As far as they are concerned, their only goal will be to destroy her. That is what their constituents put them in there to do, right?

They’ll be satisfied with nothing less, and if they have to burn down the country to do it, so be it.

From the link,

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who said, “With respect to Hillary Clinton, she will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November …

If that is the normal usage of “next”, then, yes, I should say so.

Time moves more slowly in Alabama; perhaps it’s still summer there for him. Summer of 1951.

Next as in next, or next as in next? Because I think we should elect a President next November, given that it’s October 2016, but you likely mean next November, instead, which would be a unique time to elect a President.

Or you’re making a completely unfunny and overly-pedantic point about electors and slates thereof and outdated procedures.

Any talk of impeaching Clinton is all politics and relies on the GOP praying that they couldn’t actually remove her from office but rather make the impeachment all about looks.

The last thing the GOP wants is for a possibly popular President Kaine to be on the ballot in 2020.

Any reason they couldn’t just impeach Kaine right after and put the Speaker in place?

Loser Donald is now just whining that Clinton got to go to an Adele concert last night.

“I think it’s so unfair because, you know, Hillary Clinton goes to see an Adele concert last night, and everybody says, ‘Oh, wasn’t that nice. Isn’t that wonderful?’” Trump said. “I did eight stops yesterday—three major rallies where, I told you, 25 and 15 and 20 and thousands of people. I did three, plus many other stops.”

“She goes, she does one stop because she has no energy,” Trump told Stephanopoulos. “She’s got nothing going. She does one stop. And nobody complains about that. Nobody complains when she goes to an Adele concert all night long, while I’m making two speeches at rallies with, you know, massive crowds.”

Facts simply get in the way of their worldview, so they are discarded like empty hot pocket sleeves into the dumpster beside the double wide.

And folks, these people buy Hot Pockets by the Shame Pack.

Well, there’s the little barrier of getting two thirds of the senate to vote to remove. (Which is just as much of a barrier for removing Clinton, of course.)

Why would he think anyone would complain about such things? What an odd thing to say.

I was figuring if they managed to remove Clinton, Kaine would be sure to follow.
Why not try to take the Presidency despite the will of the people?

In my part of the country, we would refer to November 2016 as “this” November and November 2017 as “next” November. I would certainly not call October 29[sup]th[/sup] next Saturday.

“Trump stops holding high-dollar fundraisers that were raising big cash for the GOP”

Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/25/trump-halts-big-money-fundraising-cutting-off-cash-to-the-party/

These fundraisers gave most donations to the party, so this is a big deal for GOP House and Senate candidates. (The online fundraising gave most to Trump, and that’s still ongoing.)

I was worried when the Senate found some last minute millions… now we know why they raised it.

Wait, what? Trump says Clinton has “no energy” and then in the very same breath, he says “she goes to an Adele concert** all night long**”

Which one is it, Mr. Trump? Can you at least keep your Bullshit straight for a whole 30 seconds before contradicting yourself?
