Hey the Republican establishment is not in love with Trump. NeoCons are not for Trump. PaleoCons are not for Trump. Social Conservatives are not for a planned-parenthood, abortion loving Trump and small-government Libertarians are not for a big-government, eminent-domain grabbing, gun control type like Donald Trump.
The religious hard-right is for him. Not because of his faith or righteousness, but because he offers them the hope of power.
(As if they will be able to control him after he gets elected.)
Trump brought in disenfranchised voters in from the cold (as did Bernie). Look at closed caucus states and see how well Trump did. (He did not do well). If the Republican party was proportionate as the Democrat primary was (as opposed to winner take all/most) then Trump would not be the nominee. It would have been a contested convention with Trump barely having 1/3 of the total delegates.
I suspect the RNC will have a superdelegates mechanism in place before the 2020 election.
Most Republicans seem more worried about him winning than about him losing.
The Russians want Trump to be President. That bears repeating a couple of times. Just think about why that might be.
Devout Republican George Will[*] is saying that he thinks the reason Trump won't release his tax returns is because they would show how much he is in bed with the Russian oligarchy.
[*]Think what you will of Will, but he's got putdown-fu. After some recent fuss with Trump he said "He has the advantage on me - I can't say everything I know about a topic in 140 characters."
Who'd'a thought the DNC would favor a centrist party insider over a left-leaning outsider? (The Bernie camp has been complaining about this since day one.)
Who'd'a thought the internet is full of hax0rs that break into any and every system they can and proclaim that they've done something earthshaking?
Who'd'a thought Assuange would try to spin it as something to do with the Hillary server scandal?
Who'd'a thought a campaign manager would have made an outrageous claim?
Who'd'a thought the opposing campaign manager would make a vacuous counter-claim?
Who'd'a thought Slashdot would run with such a nothing-burger story when there are actually interesting things going on in the world?
I take my subject back - a yawn overrates the whole thing.
They've zoomed in on the mechanism for decision making. That says nothing about free will.
If they find a mechanism for decision making in bullfrogs, will they conclude that they have free will?
If the relevant structures in a human are damaged, will they conclude that the person does *not* have free will? Not hold them accountable for crimes?
And of course it's well known that alcohol, other chemicals, even magnetic fields affect our decision making. Are those also part of the mechanism of free will?
An arrogant idiot running on a ticket of bigotry isn't in the same league with "plenty of things to dislike". Most companies probably wouldn't feel any need for a disclaimer, nor to pull sponsorship for the convention.

It's part of the operating system.
On the contrary, I would expect the DNC to do everything they can to support a (D) over an (I).
Though if they had any sense they would stick within the letter of the law.

I love it how you Trump cocksuckers have literally nothing to go on other than "Hillary ran her own e-mail server ZOMG!!!1111
That's not just the Trumpers. The entire Republican party operates on investigations rather than trying to run the country.

I rifled through the emails eagerly looking for stuff, but I was disappointed-

It's simple, really. New is not necessarily better. Change for the sake of change is rarely beneficial to the end user
It's called Marketable Obsolescence. Now you "get" to buy stuff you wouldn't have otherwise needed or wanted.

I think Assuange is just trying to stay relevant.
And not doing a very good job of it.
If I were Trump, I'd find campaign issues other than "crooked" and "bad judgement" to run against:
"crooked" - Under investigation for fraud, probably soon to be under investigation for bribery to get earlier fraud investigations squashed.
"bad judgement" - Three wives, four bankruptcies.
It's not a soul... it a homunculus.
*It* has the soul.

Is this announcement about cybersecurity, or just a card played in the game of South China Sea?
What we really need is for everyone to get used to drones flying around crowded stadiums.
I think he just told us what he fantasizes abut when he does.
You can't fact-check something a politician says they're going to do. You just have to wait and see whether they actually do it.

No, didn't you read it? They had No Other Option.
And a new toy to try.
Republicans have a bad habit of overbidding their hand.
Comey's a Republican trying to poison the well.
Petraeus gave his g/f 8 binders of classified information and told here they were classified. Hard to argue lack of intent after that.
