President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The fourth story adds credibility, in my opinion, to the other three. But, I also agree that the fourth story alone is a non-story.

Regardless, this falls outside the dead girl/live boy dichotomy, so I suppose it remains to be seen if it even has an effect on the outcome.

 

Yeah, he’ll win. Maybe with less than 60 percent though.

 

This was their hook, I imagine. They really wanted to work her into the story, and when she gave them this, they had their justification.

 

Quick Quiz: You are the executive producer of one of the three network nightly newscasts. Do you lead with Moore, or with Louis CK? On the one hand, Moore might be a Senator in a month. On the other, probably a lot more of your viewers have heard of Louis CK than of Moore.

 

Moore, unquestionably. Sexual misconduct with a minor is a worse allegation, to begin with, than whacking it in front of a bunch of of-age women. And whether more of your viewers have heard of C.K. or Moore, the fact that Moore is about to be a United States Senator elevates it in importance above what is essentially a celebrity story, and that trumps raw name recognition.

 

We asked.
I've heard that sometimes you don't even need to ask.

 

Maybe Twitter is bad. You have 280 characters now and she's going all elex spox?

Twitter reports 260,000 tweets on Moore and only 45,000 on Louis CK, so perhaps my assumption of relevant fame/audience interest was all wrong.

 

Whether people have heard of Moore by name or not, they care about the Senate and they care about laundry, and they'll understand the stakes.

 

So he doesn't believe in the virgin birth?

 

Roy Moore’s tablet says don’t covet thy neighbor’s wife. Nothing about daughters. He’s fine.
