2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

Wat is CTR

Correct the Record, Hillary's $6 mil SuperPAC dedicated to spreading the word of the Queen on social media and reddit.

Imagine the click farm that Jared bought in this last season of Silicon Valley, only instead of making Pied Piper accounts they're posting political propaganda.

I disagree regarding the mindset of conservatives. Really. Think to yourself how conservatives would react if that was Michelle O.

Does Obama's mom count? 95% sure that was a thing in 2008. Trudeau's mom used to go around commando also.

Spoiler: show

I'm not really a conservative so I can't respond to your second point the way you want. My parents divorced when I was about 2 and then my mom tried to divorce again but ended up not going through with it later on. So its not like I don't know what its like, but I honestly don't care unless they lie about it. Of coarse I don't agree with it but I try not to dwell on mistakes somebody admits to.

Cool off guys, take a break. Here, enjoy Trump's fully nude hot-ass wife.

Such a classy first lady. Reminds me of those FB mems about missing how classy Laura Bush was. It's a jab at Michelle, so yeah I'm going to miss how classy Michelle was.

And his comment never even suggested she didn't.

Hillary is three things:

- Politician
- Lawyer
- Woman

If that combination doesn't set off alarms I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you.

Oh it sure does. It sets off my 'you don't like her because she's a successful, educated, profitable female' alarm. Dude, what are you a Ferengi?

[arus2001]

If he was, I'm sure he'd be bitching about her wearing clothes.

[Krandor]

Oh dear

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

Correct the Record, Hillary's $6 mil SuperPAC dedicated to spreading the word of the Queen on social media and reddit.

a 6 mil superpac? what is it the oliver twist of PACs? LAUGHABLE

[Mertron]

low energy. sad

[Mertron]

don't feel like linking the articles, but new trump stuff:

1. claims the election in November will be rigged and said there will be a "bloodbath" (strategist's word) if he loses. one of his campaign strategists claims they are going to start playing this angle hard
2. fired another campaign strategist
3. called Hillary the devil
4. claimed the New York Times "doesn't write good", probably about to revoke their press credentials.

edit: campaign strategist didn't make the argument for playing up fraud, was a "close personal friend"

Laying out a strategy for Trump to adopt, Stone added: “He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: ‘I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud. If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.’”

Stone added that if Clinton were to "steal" this and win, her inauguration would be a "bloodbath":

"If you can’t have an honest election, nothing else counts," he continued. "I think he’s gotta put them on notice that their inauguration will be a rhetorical, and when I mean civil disobedience, not violence, but it will be a bloodbath. The government will be shut down if they attempt to steal this and swear Hillary in. No, we will not stand for it. We will not stand for it."

my favorite though was his posting a Washington post article on his Twitter calling Hillary dishonest. you know, the same Washington post who had their press credentials revoked by trump for being dishonest.

[Dimmauk]

Trump is already salty. LOL

[Tyrath]

Just gotta lay the groundwork for the safeface when he loses

[Melena]

If you thought the Gore/Bush court cases over Florida was comedy gold, wait until Trump loses.

[Mertron]

also, first official endorsement of Hillary from an active republican congressman:

So much gold today. Obama calling out gop to publicly back out of support. Trump suggested the reason Khan was shitting on him so much was because he knew Trump was going to stop his thousands of terrorists buddies from entering the country

[Tyrath]

Wait. Kisada I need a source on that because >_>

Trump: My Position On Keeping Terrorists Out Is What Bothered Khizr Khan

“When you have radical Islamic terrorists probably all over the place, we’re allowing them to come in by the thousands and thousands. And I think that’s what bothered Mr. Khan more than anything else.”

[Zealot]

I think the best way for Obama to get the GOP to back out of supporting Trump is to endorse him.

[TsingTao]

Buzzfeed's article on Trump's latest bleat amused me.

"Donald Drumpf’s smear campaign against Khizr and Ghazala Khan reached its logical rhetorical conclusion on Monday when Drumpf took the reins back from his willfully dishonest surrogates and walked his rebuttal argument to the Gold Star family the final bigoted mile himself."

I'm in the camp that he's trying to torpedo his own campaign at this point.
