    Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

    Never go up against a Clinton when death is on the line.

    You have to be at least 45 to remember the 80s when the Democrats used to get mowed down by Lee Atwater and his GOP ilk because they'd respond to negative ads by sniffing about trusting the voters to reward them for taking the high road. That's the world the Clintons came of political age in, and the lesson they took from it is "nice guys finish last."

    The difference between Obama and the Clintons is stark. Obama on campaign was a sushi chef, dispassionately eviscerating the Republicans to a Philip Glass score. The Clintons glory in it. "Crush your enemies! See them driven before you! Hear the lamentations of their women!" When the Clintons go to work on an opponent it's the "Stuck in the Middle with You" torture scene in Reservoir Dogs.

    It's creepy, but if you did live through being continually punched in the face by the Republican Machine throughout the 80s, it is hella satsifying.

      Awesome reference! Though "Mille Bones" sounds like the pr0n parody.

      I gotta believe Kirk is road kill. Hillary is winning IL by ten points more than favorite son Obama did.

        Uh oh. Kiss of the Spider Woman.

        Die-hard Donald Trump fan Sarah Palin on Thursday went after her candidate for using slightly softer language to describe his plans to carry out the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants from the country.

        “Donald Trump understands that enforcing the laws and building that wall are paramount to what the will of the people is,” Palin told guest host Eric Bolling on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor.”

        “And thank God he’s still preaching that," she continued, "because if he were not, then there would be a huge erosion of support.”

I don't think any of those transplanted Ohioans will have the least problem pulling the lever for him.
              Meh...I think we're in unknown territory here. Country clubbers have no problem voting for minority Republicans as long as they don't try to join their club. Trump voters revel in their racism. If Rubio had any appeal with these people he wouldn't have gotten crushed in his home state in the primary by a guy from New York. They could very well vote for him. I'm curious to see if they do or not because Trump has made bigotry cool again on the right. I don't think its a given that Rubio gets these votes.

                  They are. Also they are 90% wingnut, despite WaPo being "a liberal bastion." Weird. A lot of them seem scripted, to say the least, so perhaps it's bot city.

                      I'm convinced the downfall of civilization will be traced back to the advent of the comments section on mainstream internet news articles. In the quest to be interactive (remember when that word was fresh?) the comments section was thought to be the innovation of the computer age, a ramping up of democracy on a scale yet to be seen. The truth has been a bit different.

                          Funny that a recent Time article pointed out how the web has done a great job keeping all of the hate people going. They have a place to vent and be with each other outside of the view of the public. They can get out an really abuse people like Lesley Jones- http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016...xposes-twitter terrible.

                            Would the Libertarian party accept matching funds? They booed him for saying drivers licenses were a good idea.

                              I agree. RoW was the killer app of MB. It was way too powerful. It was also one of the most attractive cards in a very attractive deck.
