2016 Election Thread (ROUND FIVE!)

[snuffbox]

"You got to go out there and stop the you-know-whos from voting" is one your more terrible all-time campaign slogans.

LOL

You know, I don't mind the idea of Wikileaks. The problem is that it's run by Julian Assange, who has been accused of sexual assault and is clearly working for the Russian government to make sure Trump becomes president. Also, haven't like half or more of the people who worked there left because of him?

“Can’t we just drone this guy?” Clinton asked, according to unidentified state department sources.

LOL is this true?

 

[Mickey Massuco]

that LOL is out of shock btw, it's not an endorsement of the idea.

Russian Times isn't exactly the most trustworthy source, so...

Russian Times isn't the original source but

non-denials will always arouse suspicion. I don't believe it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

What an idiot. Way to play on the same team. And people were worried about Bernie being the one to break the unified front.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

I think by this point the "oh so naive, Bernie supporters" people were dead wrong and Bernie should have definitely been the nominee. Hillary has too much shit on her to make this a cakewalk, while all Bernie has against him is "socialist."

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Neither of them should have. BIDEN FOREVER!

 

[Edwin]

The drone story is a fake. Lots of debunking all over the twitters. It's more conspiracy junk, but it's a really funny one at least.

 

[909]

This election won't be close.

Surprised some of you haven't figured out what's going to happen. The last week should have been a good indication. The media sat on all their good stories until they could directly influence the election. There is so much more that's going to come out. Hillary went from down 1 in Florida to up 5 after that Cuba story. Similar changes will take place.

It's not a good law and it's not the law the president wanted.

An interesting read: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/suburban-white-women-weigh-their-options-in-a-bizarre-election/

This year, for example, white women with college degrees are supporting Clinton over Trump, 57 to 32 percent. Among white women who don’t have a college degree, Trump leads 52 to 40 percent.

this debate is like the future vs the past, 2025 vs 1983

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Kaine has done a really good job in this debate in forcing Pence to endorse nearly all of Trumps extreme views while explaining the actual policies of the dems better than Hillary ever has. He's also not shown the bland label he's had at all. Pence has looked bad to me but not crazy.

 

[still fly]

Kaine came off as an ass interrupting Pence.

I thought Pence came off well

 

[snuffbox]

I didn't watch the debate because the RNC already told us who won before it began.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I was looking up some stuff on Duterte and I can't believe I never noticed this before. From August:

In a rare public display of vulnerability and fear, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump apologized to the Filipino people for his comment linking their country to terrorism.

In a recent anti-immigration speech in Maine, Trump has lumped the Philippines among “terrorist nations” from where people should be denied entry to the United States.

Trump, in a statement released today, said that his campaign interns fed him the wrong information, leading him to believe that the entire Philippines was a Muslim country and that it was one of the Republics located in the Middle East.

...

Mike Pence "won" the debate for himself if he intends to run in 2020 as the alt-right candidate but for THIS election, Kaine won and this ad right here shows why:

http://trofire.com/2016/10/05/less-12-hours-post-debate-clinton-uses-pences-debate-words-stunning-new-ad/

Pence refused to defend Trump which serves his purposes in the future but by lying and saying they never said these things he gave Hillary/Kaine all they wanted from the debate, easy ammo for ads. The debate itself was the least watched since 2000. Pence looks like a liar who doesn't support his partner. Kaine looks like a guy who interrupts too much but got the job done he was sent in for (and polls said people wished he was on the top of his ticket anyway!).

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-says-central-park-five-are-guilty-despite-dna-n661941

Wading into a racially-charged case from his past, Donald Trump indicated that the "Central Park Five" were guilty, despite being officially exonerated by DNA evidence decades after a notorious 1989 rape case.

"They admitted they were guilty," Trump said to CNN in a statement.

"The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same."

...I just don't even know. Maybe he is trying to lose.

 

[909]

Told you guys he didn't want to win.

He also pulled advertising from swing states.

 

[909]

Less than five weeks until the election, Donald Trump has canceled more than $1.6 million in television ads set to air next week in eight crucial battleground states, according to an ad tracking service.

The cancellations cover the four biggest states on the battleground map — Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina — as well as four other states, New Hampshire, Maine, Iowa, and Colorado.

Jason Miller, a senior Trump communications adviser, said on Twitter: “Our data-driven campaign is shifting resources from over-performing markets to new battlegrounds w/in the battlegrounds. Buy is growing.”

Outsiders were skeptical. “This is what the professionals call horseshit,” Dan Pfeiffer, President Obama’s former communications director, tweeted.

They gave up, it's over.

 

[Damaramu]

I still wonder about the famous theory that he's a Democratic Party mole in there to sink things for the Republicans.

Didn't he used to donate to the Clintons?

 

[Edwin]

Told you guys he didn't want to win.

He also pulled advertising from swing states.

He also has still been going on about how the (non-scientific) online polls said he won the debate, so an alternate theory would be that he actually thinks he's got those states locked up, ignoring all internal polling and his campaign. Either way though, yeah, he's finished.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

sums up the election imo

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Recording of trump talking about grabbing pussy and blitzkreig kissing just surfaced

He even apologized for it!

 

[909]

These October surprises get better every day.
