Has she been seen of late?


I would imagine she is being muscled out of relevance by Giuliani and to a lesser degree Christie. She served her purpose of getting him back in the race after Hillary's post-convention bounce, but I can only guess she is completely frustrated by his lack of discipline and the inevitable reality that Trump is going to listen to Giuliani first.

Plus, she comes from the Cruz/Pence wing so I would imagine she doesn't wanted be smeared with this mess.
 
My personal theory is that she's a Cruz loyalist who serves to bridge the two campaigns. Cruz had been selling his voters mail list to Drumpf a month or two before the endorsement, and it pretty much coincided with her becoming the campaign manager. In exchange, Drumpf pumps up support for Lyin' Ted among his base for the latter's 2020/24 run.

Now that the floodgate is finally open and the slimy weasel is bolting for the door, she's going with him. Expect another 'campaign shake up'.
 
So if the Dems do manage to wrest control of the Senate, do they now have the political cover to nuke the filibuster on SCOTUS nominees? Seems ages since Scalia kicked the bucket.
 
A society in which Dan Bilzerian has 19M followers on Instagram and has been happily condoning rap music which has been degrading women for years is upset about sexist remarks?

McConnell has made it clear that they will appoint Merrick Garland on a lame duck session if/when Clinton wins.
 
That there a lot of hypocrites out there. By the way, those rap music videos hit 100M+ views consistently.

Maybe, just maybe, there are thinking people who can differentiate between entertainment and policies?

And you know that people can view a video more than once right? Damn rappers and women twerkin', society has gone to the dogs!
Wasn't Garland's nomination I was thinking of.

I don't think Barry would withdraw, nor would Clinton ask it of him.

He's a perfectly fine judge. It's not wise to waste political capital for a fight you can avoid in first 100 days.

Rappers aren't running for President. And Presidents aren't rappers.

I am constantly torn by the misogyny of Hip Hop but, that is immaterial to this discussion. Trump represents a misogyny that predates Hip Hop. And people like Trump did not learn it from listening to The Chronic.

Ted must be in a bad place. Imagine having to un-endorse Trump for being sexist against some random woman in 2005 instead of his own wife. That's a tough spot haha

Again, not talking about Garland's nomination. RBG is more than likely going to be stepping down this term and the GOP sure as hell won't let through someone as liberal as she is.
 
Clinton must surely have a strategy against Bill Clinton. Maybe finally she would be able to relate as a person when she breaks down talking about Bill's transgressions, also gaining women and sympathy votes.

Lewnisky was a transgression; from the info available about Broadrick that was much darker.

Well they'll have to, unless RBG loses all her senses and step down near an election year. The GOP can't let a Supreme Court seat vacant for 3 years. If they try, that's a pretty good GOTV drive for midterm.

I'm not sure whether Dems want to nuke a SC appointment. The fall out may be too much, especially when they have to defend 18 seats in 2018.
 
This has all been wonderfully amusing, but one has to remember what is at stake here. It's a position where mere words can have significant ramifications to the global geopolitical landscape. As soon as one engages their brain within any such practical, progressive context, it is evident that Trump is quite certainly the worst canidate for US president, we have ever seen. And this is taking into consideration the global village idiot that was George W Bush.

Alas, his inability to operate within the nuances of international diplomacy is not enough for the uneducated and ignorant masses of this country. Instead we are having to rely on the litany of inappropriate and sexually aggressive comments he has made in the past. This speaks greatly to the small minded, dangerous, and bigoted uprising that is occurring across the United States.

I've seen posters, @VorZakone being one, trying to turn his potential election into a rational argument. Stretching the limits of logical reasoning to defend a man that is not only wholly unfit, but frankly downright dangerous, to hold political office. Let alone the most influential one in the world. Such people deserve to live in their own little world where a certain Donald J. Trump is president for life.

A significant point that is glossed over by such Trump supporters, or perhaps just not understood by their ethically and intellectually challenged brains, is that you don't just judge a potential president by how they might act in times of relative tranquility, but how they might react under stress. I would say that one of the primary qualifications required for President, is a very high degreee of emotional intelligence. A quality conspicuous by its absence amongst Trump campaigners, supporters, and the man himself.

Let's just imagine Donald Trump in charge during the Cuban missile crisis, or amidst scaling tensions with Iran or China. Let's try and picture Trump trying to build an international coalition to launch overseas military action, including the need to use airbases in foreign territories. Yes, like me, if your brain is working, you are inwardly laughing, because the man is pathologically incapable of building consensus. This doesn't make America stronger, it makes it weaker and look stupider.

Lord knows I'm no great fan of Clinton, but the thought of comparing her to him is incomprehensible. If she had even one of his scandals against her name, she'd be finished. It's as though Trumps' spectacular ignorance has earned him a right to be judged by a much lower standard. And I just cannot fathom why a good chunk of people are ok with that, other than to surmise that they are idiots.

I've rarely worn my politics on my sleeve, because you can't agree with everyone. So much of politics boils down to economics and special interests. Quite frankly, as long as you are not trying to oppress other people's rights, I'm content to leave you alone. But a vote for Trump, or a defense of Trump, is a promotion of bigotry, racism, misogyny, discrimination and inequality - and I will never be quiet about that. So if you support this man, defend this man, or want to vote for this man, quite frankly you are a bigot, racist and misogynist in my book, and I'll have no compunction expressing my disdain for you as a human being.

Here's hoping enough Americans make the right choice.
 
Here's some context for you...

Make ________________ great again!

The ______________ are to blame for our problems.


If we get rid of the _______________ then we will solve many of our country's problems.

Our _____________ has been severely weakened. We need to build it back up to make ______________ great again!

Booom.

So? Johnny Cash once said he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. That doesn't mean we wouldn't react to a Trump murder confession. Songs and real life are different.

Now I get it, you're Ben Carson in disguise! What a preposterous 'argument' to bring up.

Ignoring the obvious - that there might be different standards for a presidential candidate - have you ever considered that:

- Among the 19m followers, there will be thousands if not millions who do not live in America?
- It is pretty unlikely that all 19m followers are old enough to vote for president?

Because if you haven't, welcome to the wonderful world of the internet.

Case closed.
 
Luckily it will be pretty much impossible to shame him into withdrawing as he doesn't care about the Republican party in the slightest. Good times.
I do hope so because I'd love it if he loses by a great margin. 15-20% would be alright. :D
