Campaign 2016 Part XXII: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Politicians!

Donald Trump: All hats, no cattle.

Why does any candidate spend money on polling? It seems every wannabee news outlet out there has their polling data out there for consumption.

Stay classy, Clinton supporters... http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/anti-trump-violence-sweeps-the-nation/

I wouldn't worry too much. It's already gone from 'violence' in the headline to 'defacing lawn signs' by the second paragraph, so the trend appears to be dying off.

"It's actually Democratic operatives starting violence at Trump rallies" is a classic too. Uh-huh. And every single campus Homecoming riot in history has been started by "people that don't even go to the school".

Apparently, as no one has denied it, Trump has been audited continually, and as far as I know he's never been charged with any sort of income tax evasion. To suggest that in itself is crooked is disingenuous regardless if he himself is or not.

The point on HRC is that the waters around her are roiling with pay-for-play accusations. Certainly there's no specific smoking gun, but the optics are TERRIBLE. Combine those optics with her fortune raised from a life of public service and it raises questions that no one in the campaign wants to answer.


On the Bush's money... The Bush's are rich. The Clinton's have become wealthy. If the Clinton's had Bush money they'd slit their own wrists. (albeit with a diamond-encrusted steak knife, I suppose.)


Lastly, what are Dems going to use to deflect once they don't have Donald J. Trump to kick around anymore?

Who said what Drumpf did was illegal? No one. Nice dodge though.

Again, if you really care as much as you pretend to care, look into her taxes. Last I checked she hasnt been cited for tax evasion either...and unlike the guy you just cant help yourself but to defend, hers are actually public. She doesnt feel the need to hide them, then lie about why she is doing it.

Handy invoked Lou Dobbs' pro-Trump ravings yesterday. I see and raise ... a Rush.

These people never learn. They actually sound worse now than they did when they insisted the polls were wrong in 2012 and Romney was going to win.

They are so far into the bubble they cant see straight...

Newt...arguing with Megyn Kelly! Apparently she is "obsessed with sex" according to him. Well he would know...

Of course the Drumpfers are saying she is part of the media bias against him...who knew Faux was in the tank for Hillary

Had a Republican done the same, would the liberal groups of this board and nation sit by quietly? No, they would not. Bills and investigations would have been proposed and demonstrations held.

Dubya is free to sell his ****ty crayon drawings or whatever for however much he can get. I wouldn't really care.

Ah, Newt. Ever the moral authority in our country. At least Bill had the decency to do what he did behind closed doors and not in a car where his kid could walk up on it. "Sorry kids, but mommy's a ***** for getting old and having cancer and this three inches of steel isn't going to polish itself".

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXII: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Politicians!

Most presidents give speeches for large sums of cash after leaving office, but few - if any - have reached the heights the Clintons have.

The difference being Bill Clinton was actually good at it. Whether you agree with his politics or not, the man can speak and hold a room.

Plus I think he loves doing it. I never got that sense from Carter or either of the Bushes.

So my read is you're faulting him for making money from doing something he's good at and enjoys.

Truly an interesting time when I can see a Faux host as nearly objective.

And Charlie Sykes is on MSNBC!?!? Holy crap!


On that note - while MSNBC is certainly left/biased and or leaning, I love that they are getting more and more conservative voices on there...

Sykes - who I'm sure trashed the network prior to his opposition to Trump
Nicolle Wallace
That guy who worked on McCain's campaign
I've always liked Scarborough even if I often disagree with him. At least he seems to think issues through instead of just toeing the party line.

Get more conservatives on there and become a centrist network. One can dream...


Of course Sykes will be dropped on 11/9 though.

It's a continuing theme over time.

Here is the thing...Faux is going to lose the loonies like Hannity to Drumpf TV. (Hannity is offering to fly Obama and his family back to Africa if Drumpf wins...how quaint) Half are in open auditions (see: Dobbs, Lou) and the other half are just waiting it out like Megyn Kelly.

They do, but the questions that the candidate seeks answers to aren't usually asked how the candidate may want, or those general polls don't target areas the candidate may need to focus on.

Asking 200 random Chick-Fil-A customers a question will yield different answers than if you ask 200 Church's Chicken customers the same question.

Had Trump spent money on pollsters, he could have more effectively targeted areas he needed to bolster earlier in the campaign.


Maybe I've watched too much West Wing, but Trump never found a "Joey Lucas" to steer his organization.

Incorrect.
Trump believes he has his "Joey Lucas".
Who? Donald Trump.

You see her hairstyle and outfit?

Darn right it does. She is smokin hot.

Newt looks like an extruded plastic figurine where something went wrong with the mold and the features blurred. He should see a doctor.

His vote doesn't count anyway. he ain't part of "real 'Merica".

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXII: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Politicians!

This is going around on Facebook. Sadly I found it on an extended family members Facebook page.

Imagine it is November 9, 2016 in America and we wake up knowing who our new President will be. If it is Hillary, think of the groups of people that will celebrate. Illegal Immigrants, criminals and future criminals who will be supported for pulling a gun on a police officer, planned parenthood, the media, and the list goes on and on that represent everything that is wrong with America. If you're still "with her," look around at who you'll be celebrating with. Now imagine waking up knowing that Trump is our new President. You may or may not like him, or really know what kind of president he will be. But here are some things you will know for sure:
• The Clinton Corruption is destroyed and rendered powerless.
• The media has been neutered forever.
• Career politicians will have lost all job security.
• The guns in your home will safely stay there.
• Preachers will be free to preach truth without the threat of government interference.
• Israel will have no doubt that we are truly their ally
• Iran will not get one more plane full of cash.
• No more apologies to the world for being great!
• Our enemies, most of which help fund Hillary's campaign will definitely be a little scared.
• Our healthcare rates stand a real good chance of going down.
• There is at least some hope that new manufacturing jobs will be coming back to your state.
• The drug cartel and other criminals currently crossing our borders will realize their days are numbered.
• The police will be supported so they can restore law and order.
The list could go on and on, but it sounds like America may be on the road to becoming great again within the first few hours on November 9 if Trump does win.

Copy and paste this as your status if you support and will vote Donald Trump/Mike Pence for president 2016.

His vote doesn't count anyway. he ain't part of "real 'Merica".

Hopefully one of the poll investigators can get to the bottom of this. Does he have his birth certificate and complete dental records on him to prove he's who he says he is. You have to be careful with these "others".

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXII: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Politicians!

Rigged

Indeed.

Similar to how Republican-run states and cities distribute fewer voting machines to poorer and minority populated districts, thereby ensuring long lines, long wait times, and people getting discouraged and not voting.

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXII: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Politicians!

You're ignoring certain facts that create the issue. The Clintons used their position in government to enhance their income, to the tune of well over $100MM in extra income, all obtained since 2000 when they declared bankruptcy after the Ken Starr investigations. Bill and Hillary capitalized on being public servants.

Just like every other politician out there.

Don't hate the playah, hate the game.
