Trump 2016

[GORDON]

I think we are going to see Hillary struggling to get up the steps to AF1, a lot. Not sure if that is mock-worthy, but the media may have the gall to ask why we weren't informed of her frail health.

At least 1 claim of election being stolen on November 9th.

I'm predicting his "capitulation" speech is going to be something like, "I got cheated. Fuck you all."

[Leisher]

Sexist.

Proudly. Men are terrible. Yay women!

They really think he's going to lose his power of speech right after election day? The forward-facing asshole he calls his mouth isn't going to go silent until he finishes his petulant rants, and that could go on for weeks

The theory I'm hearing, and I think it has merit, is that he's going to launch a news network out of this to rival Fox.

That would actually be a silver lining for the Republicans. CNN looks less biased thanks to MSNBC. A TNN would make Fox look like biased too.

Trump's news network will last about as long as ... wtf was Al Gore's network called? Ah yes, Current TV.

Until it goes bankrupt in 12 months.

Until it goes bankrupt in 12 months.

But it will have THE BEST, cameras, anchors, and stories. THE BEST. People are already talking about how many Emmy's TNN will win, because frankly, the current state of the network news is terrible. Just terrible. And it's all Hillary Clinton's fault.

This.

How the fuck has MSNBC not gone bankrupt? Nobody watches it!

Right now, I think the Trump brand is on the verge of toxic with advertisers. Any more revelations like the kitty grabber and he won't be able to launch a network because he won't be able to sell any ad time.

Vote for Trump or there will be nuclear war.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a flamboyant veteran lawmaker known for his fiery rhetoric, told Reuters in an interview that Trump was the only person able to de-escalate dangerous tensions between Moscow and Washington.

Waffling Reality TV Party hacks do an astonishing 180 after 24 hours.

In the Colorado Senate race, long-shot Republican challenger Darryl Glenn declared that Trump, with his predatory comments toward women, was “simply disqualified from being commander-in-chief.”

But now, Glenn — trying to unseat the heavily favored Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) — is trying to wiggle out of that stance.

"I have an open invitation to Donald Trump to meet with me this week to give him the opportunity to share his heart and win back my vote,” Glenn tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Much further down south in Alabama, Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) also declared Saturday that he found Trump’s remarks “disgraceful” and said it is “now clear Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States.” He, too, wanted Pence to take over.

Still, he is still backing him for president. “I pledged to support the Republican ticket, and that has not changed,” Byrne said on Twitter this week.

Vote that party line, comrade.

Trump has put Utah in jeopardy for the first time in almost 50 years. Goddamn.

[TheCatt]

Eh, polls say 95% chance of Trump winning Utah regardless.

In today's edition of "Trump, the Maligned Martyr..."

Donald Trump on Thursday emphatically denied allegations that he groped and kissed women without their consent, after a series of news reports published Wednesday evening in which four women accused him of unwanted sexual advances.

No one from Wisconsin wants to be around Trump.

He's the victim of a conspiracy.

But he said that he would “take the slings and arrows” in order to protect his supporters and vowed that America would have a “new Independence Day” on Election Day.

Jesus goddamn, that's painful to listen to.

Trump admits he's too much of a pussy to win Virginia.

Trump has been trailing Clinton in polls in Virginia for weeks, but a Trump staffer surprised team members in the Old Dominion State with the news on a conference call Wednesday evening with GOP operatives, the Republican National Committee's victory effort and campaign staff.

As the staff was on a conference call ticking off campaign items about door knocks and phone calls, a Trump staffer interrupted by saying, "You haven't heard the news that we are leaving Virginia?" according to the operative, who summarized the staffer's comments.

"It was absolutely a broadside," the operative said.

The campaign is not admitting that Virginia is no longer in play. However, on Thursday, it did release a statement acknowledging that they are pulling staff and resources.

Pussies.

[Leisher]

Maybe he's abandoning Virginia due to the rampant cheating there?

(I should have held a fishing pole while writing that.)

[Troy]

Need a fishing polo emoji

Quitters pulling out of Virginia? Shit, I can't think of a time that's ever happened.

Rigged election.

Trump’s talk of possible election impropriety ― which has become more urgent and frequent as his position in the polls has declined ― have prompted widespread condemnation. Even prominent Republicans are warning that Trump is undermining basic faith in the electoral process.

So there's this. Then there's his quote about Pennsylvania:

"The only way we can lose in my opinion — I really mean this — in Pennsylvania, is if cheating goes on," Trump said. "We have to call up law enforcement. And we have to have the sheriffs and the police chiefs and everybody watching."

Here's the rest of the league of beleaguered adjusters trying to backpedal:

On ABC’s “This Week,” Martha Raddatz asked Gingrich about Trump’s refrain that “they are attempting to rig the election.”

“So who are ‘they’ and how are they doing this?” Raddatz asked.

Gingrich replied that “they” are the media.

What? Do you think he was talking about calling in the cops ... for the news networks? How can that statement above be interpreted in any other fashion? He was fucking clearly not talking about the media.

“This is not about election officials at the precinct level,” he said. “This is about last Friday when the networks spent 23 minutes on the Trump tape and less than one minute ― all three networks combined ― less than one minute on the Hillary Clinton’s secret speeches that were being revealed on WikiLeaks.”

That's because reporting on Hillary has all the fun and ratings value of watching a three-toed sloth getting poked with a stick. The reason they spent 23 times more on your douchebag candidate is because yours acts like a fucking spoiled chihuahua who's on a constant IV of coke and paint thinner. It's because they get 23 times the ratings, you shithead. It's because there are 23 times the "almost too painful to watch but I can't look away" moments. It's the same reason people tuned in to watch this:


Kramer got big ratings. No one fucking wanted him or Michael Richards in office, though. Anyhow, I wonder why he might lose.
1) His state director in Ohio told the GOP to fuck off.

The latest signal of the Trump campaign's woes came Saturday with the release of a letter from Trump's Ohio state director, Bob Paduchik, to members of the state Republican committee. In the letter, he severed ties with the Ohio GOP chairman but said they still expect support from the state party.

2) He's pulling resources out of Virginia.

But this week, NBC News was first to report that the Trump campaign decided to give up on Virginia and reallocate the state's staff to other swing states. The move suggested that the Trump campaign saw Virginia as unwinnable and that they didn't have enough resources to cover every key state.

3) He's doing a fine job of pissing away Florida.

One former Florida state party operative noted that, in 2008 and 2012, the GOP nominee "accelerated" what the state party already had in place by "essentially doubling the presence — the number of staff, volunteers, doing data collection and voter registration."

"[T]hat is what, really, we haven't seen from the Trump campaign," the operative said.
...
David Johnson, a former Florida GOP chairman, called it "by far the weakest effort on behalf of the state party that I have seen."

"They haven't done the investment in it. They don't seem to have the money there. The resources haven't been delivered. I haven't seen an absentee ballot program," he said.

"The RNC based its projections for staffing on the previous nominee, and they haven't been able to add the staff they expected because Trump isn't raising nearly enough," said one swing-state GOP official.

Totally voter fraud.

According to an NBC News analysis of campaign finance filings, Democrats had more than five times as many paid staffers as Republicans listed on the payroll in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Totally the media.
