Donald Trump's 2016 General Election Campaign

I heard a segment from Trump’s phony appearance at a black church in Detroit. He apparently felt the need to point out that Lincoln was a Republican. Why do Republicans think that is news to anybody? Nixon’s southern strategy is far more relevant in today’s politics than Lincoln’s opposition to slavery. Do white Republicans think that by invoking Lincoln’s name, that blacks will drop to their knees and say “I see, massa! Of course you have my vote!”

I’d hoped you were joking. I see you weren’t. I wish I could formulate anything half as funny as that clip.

Fox sends one Anti-Trumper to debate. It may be OK as he is not a chic.

If this campaign has taught us anything, it is that you will be proven wrong, and probably quite soon.

Hillary should quickly announce that she heartily approves of all the moderators, and looks forward to the debates.

Better to say that she has no objection than that she approves; if she approves, the Trumptanic will try to spin it as evidence that those tribunes of the MSM are in her corner.

I suspect that they will say so, whether Clinton states she has no objection, states that she approves, or says nothing at all.

He is not going to say any shit about Anderson Cooper maybe being gay, right? That low, he isn’t going, right?

Probably screw it up and put up a picture of Trey Gowdy.

Maybe I misunderstand your post, but Cooper came out publicly years ago.

What ever causes him to pull out is plus for Hillary. He looks like a child, and she gets a platform to bash him without rebuttal.

No shit? Did not know. Still don’t care, but didn’t know. Hat tip.

Well, maybe. You and me, fer sure. But his minions? All he needs to bail is an excuse they find plausible, why should he care what we think? And how does that compare with a public spectacle of her tearing him a new Nixon?

Unless he’s ahead in the polls the day of the first debate, he’ll have to do it. And by ‘have to’ I mean that his children will force the point, even if Donald doesn’t care to listen to the heads of his campaign, whoever they might be on that date. If he’s behind he will need that nationwide audience, and the kids know it.

My guess is that Assange and the Russians will cooperate by releasing something really juicy (even if completely fabricated) about Clinton, on that day. That will put the spring into Trump’s step as they march to their podiums.

Yeah, we’re so crowded that no one lives here anymore.

Sit down. I have something to tell you about Rachel Maddow which might upset you.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Didn’t Andy Warhol say that in the future every policy position would be held by Donald Trump for exactly fifteen minutes?

Donald Trump is a deeply superficial person.

As a straight male that has been planning to become Mr. Maddow, this leaves me confused.

Not hopeless, but certainly confused.

Don’t let it bother you, we have just as much a shot now as we ever had.

Goddam it! All that money I wasted on chocolates and flowers!
