Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

If his unpredictability is tough for Hillary, imagine how tough it will be for ISIS and our other enemies!

 

Don't black lives have to exist before they matter?

 

Most republicans -- at least those supporting Trump -- are pretty thrilled that Trump has a 39% chance of winning going into the debates.

The best thing going for him is that he has multiple paths now to 270.

He has to carry Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina. has to. Losing any of those means he loses.

But, if he carries those, he's competitive in enough other states that he has a chance to win.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm banking a safe four years on.

 

You do understand the expectations-setting game, no?

 

Hard to know what to believe.

Between electorate models, the intense dislike so many voters have for both nominees, and the high numbers that third party candidates are now polling, this thing is going to be very unpredictable.

Conventional wisdom has been that Johnson has been pulling votes away from Hillary.

But, as Johnson continues to show himself to be an embarrassment, and voters reconsider throwing their vote away, do these votes return to Hillary, or are they #NeverHillary voters who end up with Trump.

MSNBC's panel this morning was fretting that Trump's numbers in state polling were moving up at Johnson's expense.

 

Thrilling!

 

Trump's job one in the debate is simple. Don't be an asshole. If he doesn't say anything overtly racist or openly demean Clinton (and by extension women voters), it's mission accomplished. This shouldn't be too tough, since it's something all of us do every day of our fucking lives.

 

Oh, of course. I understand this is what they're doing.

I still find it funny. Poor Hillary. She has to prepare for multiple Donald Trump. (Like a football team unsure of who the opposing quarterback will be the upcoming week -- the pocket passer, or the guy who runs the option.)

The worry does play against a criticism of Trump though. He's said on multiple occasions that he isn't going to tell the enemy what he's going to do. He wants to be unpredictable.

He was mocked for that.

But, it seems to be working for him as Hilary prepares to do battle with him.

 

They plied me with Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

 

Why does Hillary have to prepare for Trump? It's not like they're going to actually have to respond to one another's questions/comments, right?

 

it's like Bluto Blutarsky going against Greg Marmalard
