Donald Trump's 2016 General Election Campaign

Ivanka DOES have nice breasts, but I don’t fantasize them as much as Trump seems to.

Big people are saying that when she works on the campaign, he makes her walk around the office topless. I don’t know myself, but a lot of people are saying it. We’re going to look into this, believe me.

Bwahahahahahahhh!

Just goes to show, you can’t fix stupid…

My first thought was that I should have said Republicans not voters but not even sure that’s supported by the evidence above. I’ll withdraw the example.

Apparently not:

Too good to check: Sean Hannity’s tale of a Trump rescue.

Interesting analysis of Donald’s Twitter posting patterns from David Robinson, a data researcher at StackOverflow.

Donald has a Samsung Galaxy 7. Someone else also posts to his Twitter account using an iPhone. Analyzing world usages and posting patterns, it’s likely that the iPhone poster is either a campaign staffer or maybe one of his kids.

(emphasis in the original)
There’s lots of graphs and charts and math at that link. I know some people enjoy that sort of thing.
Robinson makes a few observations:

I think it would be a mistake to over-refine on this, and I say that admitting a lot of the math is over my head. I’m not really challenging the numbers. I just think this is more of a “hm” than a “hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”.

But still - I thought it was neat.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Trump?

It appears that people like Hillary Clinton the person/politician more than Hillary Clinton the candidate or candidate’s wife, seeing how her numbers seem to dip when she or Bill were running for office. I’m not sure what that says about voters, but I’d put money down that as president next year her ratings will go up a lot from where they are now.

So now we have two versions of what certainly appears to be the same moment in the same speech. In one it very clearly sounds like he says “titties”. In the other it very clearly sounds like he says “cities”.

Titties version on YouTube

Cities version on Gawker

I don’t see that Gawker article as proving much of anything one way or the other. The Gawker video is of poor quality and, at least on my computer, the sound is not synchronized well with the video. To be fair, that doesn’t necessarily prove anything but it could be that the poor quality is meant to hide doctoring of the audio. Or the author could be right.

The author of the Gawker article keeps mentioning a clear and obvious glitch in the “titties” version. I don’t hear any such glitch and apparently neither do any of his coworkers. He and Cenk of The Young Turks are seemingly the only ones who can hear the glitch.

So what are we to believe? I have no idea. Is this an attempt to create some doubt about what really happened with a doctored video, or can two different audio feeds really record what clearly sound like different pronunciations of a ‘c’ sound versus a ‘t’ sound? Certainly Cenk Uygur is no Trump supporter but that doesn’t mean that he couldn’t be taken in by a doctored video.

I’d like to know where his coworker found the Detroit Free Press version and how it came to his attention.

Still no official adverts from the Trump campaign?

That gawker article shows the wave pattern of the audio with a clear empty space but really, “titties” simply doesn’t make sense. Not in a “that Trump so crazy” way. If you look at the “Young Turks” clip, the version they show seems perfectly good quality and Trump saying “cities”.

This isn’t like his normal “on purpose” gaffes anyways. Amusing rather than outrageous if true.

People are saying that Trump’s campaign is preparing an ad that denies Trump’s heavy funding and involvement with NAMBLA. Believe me, these are top people, very smart people who are saying this. Now I don’t know if this is true or not, that Trump is a founder of NAMBLA, but people are certainly talking about it. You tell me if it’s true or not.

That gag is wearing thin.

That gag never gets old.

Are many people saying that?

We can keep it up as long as The Sentient Cheeto keeps it up.

So 3 out 4 Dopers think pedophilia jokes never get old. Good to know.

We’re just putting it out there about Trump and NAMBLA. You decide.

NAMBLA is the new Drumpf I guess. Just have to let you guys tire yourselves out.

Not so much fun when the foot’s on the other hand, is it?
