When criticizing Republicans, I usually think it’s poor form to go after somebody who simply mispronounced a word or something.
However, I think this warrants an exception:
‘Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said on Wednesday that her comment calling Hillary Clinton a “lying killer” was just a “mispronunciation” of the Democratic nominee’s name.’
Oh good god. If I lived in a heavy Republican conspiracy area, I’d gather some acorns from the oaks around here and drop a handful at the entrance to the polls on election day. Just to mess with them.
I’m reminded of Barney Frank’s comment after GOP House leader Dick Armey referred to him as “Barney Fag” and then tried the same “slip of the tongue” defense.
“I accept his explanation…but nobody ever called my mom ‘Mrs. Fag’.”
I bet he asked because he was going to attack the integrity of whichever poll she mentioned. If that was the case, she should have started with Breitbart.
And Breitbart won’t do that at all.
Well, most of them learned the lesson about “unskewing” poll results last time, but some of them clearly did not.
When the facts don’t fit the narrative…
538 has an interesting page of Pollster Ratings, where they assess the accuracy and the political bias of hundreds of polling organizations, from the big ones that are cited on the news all the time, to small ones that you’ve probably never heard of.
I note that https://www.longroom.com/ is still down.
The GOP gave up fact-based decision making years ago.
I sure hope it’s Cohen, otherwise Trump has two psychopathic attorneys, who apparently got their degree from the cosa nostra school of muscle, threat and intimidation.
Herehe is threatening a reporter from the daily beast for reporting on rape reports in Ivana’s deposition.

“So I’m warning you, tread very f—ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f—ing disgusting. You understand me?”
“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet…you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it,” he added.

Yes, it’s Cohen, and he thinks he did very well in that interview.
I liked this quote in the article about the right winger trying to infiltrate a Democratic campaign. At this point, I don’t think Dems need to infiltrate the Trump campaign to do it damage. The best thing to do is grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch the shit show.
I was watching CNN this morning, and they are so upset about Keilar’s performance that they are rerunning that clip every ten minutes or so.
If Harold Stassen were still alive he’d tell the Trump campaign to face reality.
Ah, so the polls are all skewed … bring a nostalgic tear to my rheumy old eyes, that does …

I’m stealing this.

“I speak on a weekly basis to more than 100 African-American Evangelical preachers who are all committed to ensuring Donald Trump becomes the next president of the United States.”

He’s got binders full of [del]women[/del] African American evangelical preachers!
It was just a retirement hobby for old Harold. Some men play golf, some drive their RV’s to national parks, Stassen ran for President.
But *he *was harmless.
Of course, it’s utterly conceivable that the African American evangelical preachers that he talks to weekly are always the SAME African American evangelical preachers as the week before.
Show of hands: how many believe that there are more than 100 African-American Evangelical preachers who are all committed to ensuring Donald Trump becomes the next president of the United States?
Okay, now how many think that there are 100 African American evangelical preachers that’d even take a phone call from Mr. Hubris ‘No Manners’ Cohen?
