Yeah, I've seen reports of some disgruntlement, as one would expect. And the speculation that maybe it's Bernites releasing emails (i doubt...they would have done it sooner and perhaps changed the primaries). But generally a well-oiled show.
...He's done ZERO work in his life and has no idea how anything in the world works aside from greasing palms.
He's a clueless, unintelligent, uneducated moron. But his words get people fired up and they think they like him. They don't actually even know that they don't actually like him, they just think they do because they can't see the truth.
It’s “extremely run-of-the-mill,” says Manny Ruiz, chief executive officer of Hispanicize Media Group, of the language used in the emails about Latinos' relationships to brands. "It's a popular refrain that Latinos are known to be brand loyal. I don't think there's anything strange in those comments at all."
“This is like 101 for marketers,” says Linda Lane Gonzalez, president of the viva partnership and chair of AAHA, a trade organization representing the Hispanic marketing, communications and media industry.
... American politics has reached the point of Poe: The non-joking comments are routinely so silly that you cannot construct a joke that will not be mistaken for a serious claim.
QFT. Though "SuricouRaven's Law" doesn't have the same snap as "Poe's Law".
If the president's job really is not to wield power, but to divert attention away from those who do, Trump will make a most excellent president.
I remember when I first read that in HGTTG. I was highly amused at first, then I really started thinking about it. It ended up with a +1 Insightful from me.
"This is why Hillary is down today to 40% versus Trumps 47%"
A well-known spike in US political campaigns. A candidate usually (always?) gets a good approval bump after their party's convention. Check back next week after the DNC is done.
I tend to agree that the great lather about this is somewhat manufactured. Who manufactured it? I dunno, though it does take two to tango.
Given that logic, it may be cheaper and simpler to just use Slashdot to communicate all government information from now on. It may actually result in better decision making as all the AC's can provide valuable feedback guiding our trusted leaders to a glorious and prosperous future!
Sounds good. And the modders can mod away! Democrazy in action!

1st rule of public speaking. Tell them what they want to hear. He's winning because he's PT Barnum up there making a spectacle of the race.
Yeah. I can see I'm not the only one seeing a connection. What did he say? Something about a sucker being born every minute?
Long live the American Entrepreneurial Spirit!

So you endorse his abilities as a politician?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?
While a preceding event

I have trouble understanding the vile hate...for both candidates. I haven't seen either of them eat a baby yet.
Yeah, that pretty much dropped my jaw. Similar to the double-down he did on the thousands of muslims dancing on the roofs in New Jersey cities.
That would suck, perhaps, but still not an act of war.

Doesn't work for everything else but if you see if the name Hillary connected to it you can be sure it is a joke or deals with a joke.
"Hillary between the sheets"
"Hillary under the bed"
Nah, doesn't work for me.

"People laughed at me! LAUGHED, I say!"
All right, I'm confused. From this and other threads, I summarize...
"Hillary has the media in her pocket"
"Hillary is afraid of press conferences...how scared she is of her own supporting media"
How do the two co-exist in reality?
Reminds me of that bit from "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", where the job of president is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it.
" I can still openly say precisely what I think of our leaders in Washington without fear that I might face retribution."
I too can still openly say precisely what I think of the leaders in Washington without fear that I might face retribution!

No, of course not. The first time I was aware of this happening was during Shrub's administration. Dems put up a howl, naturally.
I don't know how far back or how common it was before then.

And NATO didn't provoke Russia by putting troops and missiles on their borders, no sir!
So, are you implying that the converse is not true? That Russia has not provoked NATO "by putting troops and missiles on their borders"?
Russian leadership is exactly the same now as it was in 2012 when it was ridiculous to worry about them.
That's the problem with and a feature of dictators. Putin plays the long game.
Dammit! She's a fascist now? Last week she was a communist! What a flip-flopper!
The minute you call a person names.... you use the battle.
Agreed.

"Little Marco"
"Low Energy Jeb"

Nonsense! I believe that Trump speaks well at the 3rd grade level.
Er, what shall we call it, then, The Chill War?
