Is this a needle mover? I tend to think not but what worries me is that there might be something else more repulsive that comes later. Beyond that, I also wonder if Wikileaks and Breitbart aren’t using this to set up a fabricated story of someone in the campaign saying something a lot more offensive. In this election, falsities could have a way of becoming fact.
I hope Clinton’s campaign has surrogates ready to dispel myths. If there’s actual factual accounts of racism that would be really, really bad. Hoping that’s not the case though.
OTOH the endorsement flipfloppers are providing a fine illustration if anyone needs to look up “cowardice”. There’s no principle, no cause, nothing to stand FOR come what may; just utter terror of losing, of being shouted at by the crowd, of being primaried from the deplorable wing, of being excluded from a future campaign. At least you can say those who stuck with him all along were not afraid of what others would think of them.
But right now the last thing Clinton wants to do is distract from the Trumpster Fire. I suspect that anything in the Wikileaks is not important in comparison to the sex scandals, or they would have dumped it before early voting started.
The victims of Trump’s rapey bull shit are starting to chime in. Link
In retaliation, Trump says he’s going to turn Bill Clinton into the next Bill Cosby. Yeah, good luck with that.
I think it fair to say the third debate could make the second debate look like a cute first date. Trump is losing, cornered, and angry.
I’d put it at 40% likely he will openly accuse Clinton of murder. I don’t mean “Benghazi is your fault.” I mean he is going to actually say she personally murdered someone. Perhaps Vince Foster, perhaps Antonin Scalia, perhaps someone else. Debate #2 was just an appetizer train wreck. This one could be an asteroid strike.
“She murdered me. She murdered me, it was thirteen years ago; murdered me and covered it up, believe me, believe me. She’s so dishonest – ‘Crooked Hillary,’ right? Everybody calls her ‘Crooked Hillary’ – and she covered that up, her and her husband, after she murdered me; people are saying this, a lot of people are saying this.”
A group of students at Liberty University have released a statement rebuking Trump and criticizing Liberty President Jerry Falwell for supporting him (Washington Post article). The letter, which has 250 signatures, starts:
The article also reports on college Republican groups at other universities that have similarly abandoned Trump.
This shows what happens when a professional and veteran campaign operation goes up against a bunch of deluded amateurs. This is just the beginning of the Trump-past info dump. We will see a new revelation (or pile of revelations) on Trump every 2 or 3 days until election day.
No, Anglo is language-based and refers to anybody of any color whose primary language is English; it is short for angloparlante (English-speaker) like hispano is short for hispanoparlante or hispanohablante (Spanish-speaker). Anglos, like Hispanics, come in all colors.
What is true is that Anglos tend to think that “Anglo” means “non-Hispanic white”. Many a non-white Anglo has laughed out loud when he found the actual meaning.
That’s the Alt-Right MRA crowd trying to be clever by trolling and not caring if it hurts Trump because “lol we made a girl mad!!”. And, let’s face it, making a girl mad is far more important to a sex-spurred loser than politics could ever be.
“Needy Latinos” is a yawner in context. Sort of like almost every hacked email so far.
