I’m sure Gennifer is excited as all get-out to actually be getting attention again! I would imagine her website saw a 4000% increase in unique visitors today.
“Yes, yes, a thousand times *yes *Mr. Trump! I *will *be your date for the debate on Monday!”
Stay classy, Donald.
I suppose in Trump’s fevered mind this is the power move, but it’s a significant tactical error, IMO. Reminding the public that Hillary was continually cheated on and still soldiered through? Huge sympathy points from the public and women in particular.
IIRC Gennifer Flowers got involved in a lawsuit against Bill Clinton that was summary dismissed, I can see that something may had taken place, but in a precursor of the likes of James O’Keeffe, the evidence she was trying to use was reported to be doctored and way out there.
Not what I would bring forward, it reminds many about how much, much more sneaky the ones opposed to Clinton were in their efforts to get them.
He’s playing this like it’s a plot twist in his reality show to drum up ratings during sweeps.
Maybe the Clinton team could seat all of Trump’s former wives, girlfriends (former and present) and illegitimate children.
Not a single Fortune 100 CEO has endorsed Trump. In 2012, nearly one third of them endorsed Mitt.
He also has a significant lack of newspaper endorsements. Just rags like the New York Post and others that will endorse the Republican nominee no matter what.
Also, this basically confirms the “Trump’s nowhere rich as he claims he is” rumours, no? To admit that inviting Cuban gets under his skin (which the invitation of Flowers does) and to imply that this is a comparable action means that basically everything Cuban’s been saying about Trump’s wealth is 100% true. You don’t fire off the bazooka of inviting your opponent’s husband’s mistress if it doesn’t.
Even though it is Trump, it beggars belief that we have a candidate whom many will consider to have won the debate if he can just keep himself from acting like a dork.
Has this been mentioned?
Eric Trump insists that his father started with “just about nothing.”
When even Fox News laughs in your face …
Yep, pulled himself up by those bootstraps, Trump did.
Here’s my theory. Well not so much a theory as a set up for joke or some such.
Trump responded to Clinton inviting Cuban by inviting his opponent’s husband’s mistress because Cuban was Melania’s lover in the past. It’s an exact parallel.
Zach Galifiankis on if he would have Trump on “Between Two Ferns”.
“I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him. And you can print that.” 
The hits just keep on coming.
Is it not by now clear that a Trump presidency would be, in all probability, the most corrupt in American history?
It fits because now fully 85 percent of republicans oppose free trade.
I struggle to understand republican economic positions on pretty much everything now. They railed against Obama as being a “socialist” and yet now they’re against international trade. I bet if you ask republican voters to clarify what they mean the would tell you that it’s not even a position against "free trade but, in fact, a position against trade with anyone outside the United States. The amount of ignorance, the ability to just believe in whatever the fuck people want to believe in for whatever reason is just astounding. In truth, conservative positions on economics are attributable more to attitudes toward race than anything to do with economics or trade.
Republicans, and conservative independents, are voting to fight a culture war – that’s it. That’s what all of this comes down to. The “decent” ones don’t want to call it that, but that’s what it is. This election will come down to whether or not a decisive plurality of people want to take their country back from blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, Muslims, gays, lesbians, the transgendered, and subversive liberals. This might be their last chance to do it, too, so I’d say the threat level is orange.
Excellent point, asahi. For many, their contradictory/confused/self-defeating “views” on economic matters (and more) make some sense only if seen through a lens of cultural fears – fears I would hesitate to call purely “racist,” but which tend to have a more or less racialized component (sometimes definitely “racist”).
Bad as I think a Trump presidency would be, and as preferable as a Clinton one would be, this way of thinking is neither going to go away anytime soon, nor take over the country like in 1930s Germany. After November, whoever wins, we’ll still be a nation where some folks think this way, and others don’t – and all the complicated flavors in between.
The best part:
Apparently one of the sixth-graders who advise Trump on economics noticed the multi-trillion dollar deficits and revised the Trump plan to suck more blood from the needy to afford his tax cuts for the rich.
So what’s the real reason you’re planning to vote for the short-fingered monster?
