President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The most amazing thing about this is that nobody screams. Normally, gunfire is followed by chaos. I don't think I've ever seen a video in which gunfire is met with such calm. Perhaps because it didn't sound like a gunshot?

 

Grammatically, it should probably be "motherfuckress ."

 

Among everything else the MSM hammered Hillary for was the fact her economic policy plans were too "wonkish," too detailed, too complex, boring, etc etc. You had to go to her web site and READ them, for gods sake.

As opposed to the reasoned, well-thought-out solutions offered by Fucko, which consisted of, "we're gonna have the bestest most awesome economy ever because i am gonna make bigly deals, plus we're getting rid of the mooslim neegro. And we're gonna get jobs back as soon as we allow companies to bust wages down to nothing. The problem with American workers is their wages are too high."

 

MSM really fucked up. Journalism failed completely. Treating emails and Benghazi as breaking news and relevant Treating trump like man

 

Do you remember what the homestretch was like? Especially after the Comey letter?

Also, I'll say this: She launched the campaign with a terrific start focused largely on the economy and jobs. Like every other candidate who ran, her campaign was not entirely prepared for the wild card Trump brought to things. Add in what the major networks did (Leslie Moonves: Trump is GREAT for business!), and the way a lot of other things aligned to force her campaign to play defense, or to address the WTFness of the circus it became with Trump in it,and the economy didn't get the attention it deserved. When it did, it was still about Sanders' ideas that would be great in Fantasyland, and about Trump bringing back coal jobs and all the B.S. he spread. Nobody wanted to hear real plans.

That being said, she tried. I have a friend who followed her campaign for one of the major papers in the Northeast, and he said there was plenty about the economy and jobs, but nobody gave a shit. That is to say, nobody covered it. Then there were the WikiLeaks releases, and Comey, and all the rest, and there goes your homestretch. Nobody who claims now to have wanted to hear more about the economy gave a shit back then. If they say they did, they're lying. Hell, go back and look at the original Trump thread. Cranberry makes good points about organizational problems within the campaign, too.

I was highly critical of her campaign throughout as well, especially before the overhaul, but let's face it: Nobody in the race was prepared for Trump. Nobody. The rules went out the window, and on top of everything else, being a woman? Not even that hammer would have helped in the end.

 

Yeah, good points. The media got sidetracked the worst. In retrospect, that was what pissed me off.

 

Fucko made a campaign stop in Michigan in which he went on at some length that the problem with the auto industry was high wages. And the solution was to let those jobs go where wages were lower. Then after the "artificially high" auto industry jobs were gone, the local economy would readjust with shit wages and non-union workforce, and all those jobs would come back. (At about half pay.)

Any other candidate would have been hooted off the stage at the end of pitchforks, but this was still early enough in the campaign nobody was really taking anything he said seriously.

 

How many times has it been that Biden, Hillary, (fill in random Democrat here) have "kicked off a 2020 campaign?"

 

What a ridiculous whitewashing of the problem.

The path is designed to push some people off and keep other people on every step of the way. And even then, many people have a support system keeping them on the path from day one that everyone doesn't.

And after they've gotten jobs on their family's connections and college on their family's dime, they'll be glad to let you know everyone had the same chances they did.

 

Sumbitch was carrying an unloaded firearm? Yeah, he's a Tier 1 operator.
