Clinton v Trump - The Stretch Run Thread

93 year old Bob Dole and Bizarre Ben Carson are still supporting the Orange Groper.

If McCain had any respect for himself he’d never have supported Trump in the first place.

Mike Pence’s campaign schedule has been withdrawn from the campaign website.

Yes, it’s Daily Kos, so ignore the snark and just concentrate on the story.

aka: selling one’s soul. As J.D. Vance said: the world is watching Christians right now.

More like a can of mace…

As he did in the POW camp, the men under his command come first. His first duty was to veterans even if he couldn’t do it for himself.

Don’t forget NDA clauses.

It’s not just fifty years ago. The alt-right is home to sexists like Roosh V

who thinks we should legalize rape, on the idea that if rape is legal, women will take steps to avoid being raped, and thus rape will decrease. Yeah.

Roosh is a big fan of Donald Trump. He’s promoting support for Donald and describing the current attempt by Republiccans to get Donald to quit as a failed coup.

He’s characterizing Trump’s behavior thusly:

LIVE on #Periscope: Bill Clinton is a rapist. Open borders is rape culture. #BillyBush*

These are guys who’ve been using #Gamergate the last two years to gin up anti-feminist sentiment ahead of Hillary’s White House run. It’s worked, sort of, among a certain segment of the public.

That might wash if he hadn’t waited months to counter Trump’s original statement.

I think they are doing the Dope thing of deciding what they think you said is what you said and piling on.

I don’t read a lot of condoning in what you said - just an acknowledgement that this was reality. That can sound like an excuse (my grandfather was a racist - a product of his time).

One last time, with feeling:

“This is the break that the McCain campaign has been looking for!!”

Agreed

I was going to vote for her anyway, but statements like this are a person that I actually want to vote for instead of just vote against the other guy:

“And I am not taking a position on any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of anxiety and even anger in the country over the feeling that the game is rigged. And I never had that feeling when I was growing up. Never. I mean, were there really rich people, of course there were. My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn’t believe in mortgages. So I lived that. And now, obviously, I’m kind of far removed because the life I’ve lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven’t forgotten it.” [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Goldman-Black Rock, 2/4/14]"

And this is the statement from the leaked speeches that is held up as being bad for her somehow. I actually like this person, not so much the polished Clinton.

One of the producers of The Apprentice, Bill Pruitt, says there are far worse Trump tapes.

Producer Mark Burnett has all of this footage under lock and key.

MEANWHILE - pro-Trump supporters have started heckling Republican politicians who have pulled their endorsements.

Confusion to the Enemy!

That Trump has gotten 0 endorsements from newspapers tells you all you need to know. Also, papers who have never endorsed anyone have come out against him.

Trump has managed to sew up the MRA vote. I was afraid they were going to vote for Hillary.

No, you weren’t. He was furious at having to do it. I think he’s skating on the edge of a fullblown meltdown, I’d hate to be a lackey of his he feels free to take it out on right now, and I would be shocked if he can keep his temper under control in the debate tomorrow.

Excellent post. At least, it is assuming that MRA stands for Men’s Rights Activist. Or am I wrong about that?

I’m disappointed they didn’t include the one where Stern asked something about Trump’s attitude toward Melania if she was disfigured in an accident, and Don the Con asked if her breasts were okay.

Anything to stay relevant!
