full text from the Rudy speech:
Quote :
""Since when are you the quitting kind?...So you didn't make the dress list. There are greater tragedies in the world...Oh, you are so full of crap. You're 5 feet nothin', a 100 and nothin', and you got hardly a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years. And you're also gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody - except yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back...

Hell, I've seen too many games in this stadium...I've never seen a game from the stands...I rode the bench for two years. Thought I wasn't bein' played because of my color. I got filled up with a lotta attitude. So I quit. Still not a week goes by I don't regret it. And I guarantee a week won't go by in your life you won't regret walkin' out, letting them get the best of ya. You hear me clear enough?""

It seems obvious it would tighten from an 8-10 point gap.

Between Michelle Bachmann and the Breitbart guy, we haven't seen the new iteration of Trump's campaign yet.

The LA Times "poll" isn't really a poll at all. Basically they picked 3000 people at the start the cycle and regularly ask them the same questions to see how their opinions change over time. Now, if the original sample was truly representative of voters nationwide, it could have been a relatively accurate "poll", but it obviously wasn't.

The best thing about this past week is that it has totally destroyed the notion of the media being biased towards Clinton. You had:

-The AP report on the Clinton Foundation which amounted to a sensationalist headline followed by a whole bunch nothing.

-The reporting of 15,000 "new" emails from Clinton's server that were actually discovered months ago which Comey already commented on back in July.

-Equating Hillary's fact based cataloguing of Trump's associations with self professed white supremacists, outlandish conspiracy peddlers, and his own history of racial discrimination to Trump calling her a bigot based on absolutely nothing.

Wait, I watched Meet the Press just now and they made it seem like the 15,000 emails were new so I just believed it.

Link to a source about them being older?

Every single article about them?

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/us/politics/hillary-clintons-new-emails-release-state-department.html?_r=0

Quote :
"The F.B.I. discovered the roughly 14,900 emails by scouring Mrs. Clinton’s server and the computer archives of government officials with whom she corresponded. In late July, it turned them over to the State Department, which now must set a timetable for their release, according to Judge Boasberg’s order.

While the emails were not in the original trove of 55,000 pages that Mrs. Clinton’s lawyers handed to the State Department last year, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said in July that he did not believe they had been “intentionally deleted.” Still, he characterized Mrs. Clinton’s handling of classified information during her years at the State Department as “extremely careless.”"


The only thing "new" is the disclosure of the actual number.

This is all safe poll-tested criticism of clinton that serves as a distraction to any real criticism of her voting record and actual policies. Everyone is sick of hearing about the emails and benghazi and knows she is trustworthy but still thinks she is the best person to run the country. Criticizing her on those things instead of things like her votes for the war and wall, support for TPP, taxing the middle class, foreign policy, and history of criminal injustice are the types of criticism they are distracting us from with this soft shit.

Clinton's fundraising haul for August was absurdly high. $143m. Will help tremendously down ballot.

No denying she is a damn good politician. Whether or not that means good leader is certainly up for debate.

^^ What do you take issue with? Trump, the #2 candidate for president, has a long history (and present) of racism. This is just a fact.

WAAYY worse than Hillary, who at least in her earlier years fought against racism.

Right, like when she helped create the school-prison pipeline and called black people "super predators"?

I have issue with anything that compares:
"Why candidate A is an angel"
"Why candidate B is Hitler"

and then acts like it's an objective comparison. It's propaganda, and the propensity of gullible people to circulate such misinformation is partially to blame for the current dumpster fire of an election.

^ the super predators thing is on there, LOTS of people helped create the school-prison pipeline-- that's an effect of systemic racism.

Obviously it's not perfectly objective (that wouldn't fit in a jpeg i'm sure) but it is objective to say Trump has a long-running history of being racist, a trend he hasn't demonstrated any changes in recently.

Hillary has no such public trend or history. This is an objective truth.

The thrust of the Trump message on immigration is not so much that our current immigration policy fails cost-benefit analysis as it is that immigrants may kill you."

Quote :
"Anti-immigration politicians talk a lot about crime and jobs and fiscal burdens, but that's not what animates public opinion on immigration. Cost-benefit analysis is not what animates public opinion on almost any issue. Most voters do not have opinions about policies — they have feelings about issues.

In the case of immigration, our politics is about feelings like these: Do you want more of these culturally different people around, or not? Does it make you nuts to have to press 1 for English? Does the spread of Mexican-oriented businesses make you feel encroached on, as if your culture is being taken over by another culture?"

If anyone is still questioning CNN's neutrality, allegiance or journalistic credibility: They are dedicating 4 hours to show documentaries on trump and clinton so that the nation can learn their story (as if no one knows who they are). This as opposed to their nonstop coverage of the two in the normal programming. Everyone knows these people

Where is CNN's documentary on Johnson and Stein? The selective blackout continues...

Most people don't know who they are or where they've been. CNN can't let word get out about the successful gubernatorial experience on the libertarian ticket, much less actually expose it themselves. They much rather continue the narrative the Clinton is the most experienced of all time and Trump know how to run the economy.

They have no interest in informative programming, and would rather shove the same shit down our throat more and more.

ok now list all of the coverage they've given trump and hillary. two 1hour town halls verses years of nonstop coverage. town hall is the one method where the candidate can't dictate the direction of the conversation. Its also hardly a townhall when CNN is asking most of the questions. sounds fair AND balanced.

Is hillary speaking today? I'll be sure to tune in live on CNN for pre coverage, the entire speech, and hours of analysis afterwards. What was trump's last tweet? They will dissect for 30 minutes in the next newshour.

Of course I remembered those events, I was just on here complaining about the questions asked in the green townhall but in no world of logic is two lib town halls equitable to several debates, townhalls, documentaries, and daily coverage of every rally, live press conferences (if you do them), and campaign stop coverage. Its not even a debatable. You make yourself look silly trying to act like they are honestly covering 3rd parties. Its not like they don't have time either. They only cover 2 or 3 news topics per week and air reruns of thier trump hillary coverage at night.
