Quote:We went outside for most of the photos, to “take advantage of the light,” Young Me explained. He made me pose in various positions that all had the same finish: “Now turn slightly, and look toward the sun.” Seriously. He told me to look directly at the sun. And he did it with a straight face. That is when I became convinced that this alleged other person was indeed me. If I were a photographer, I’d be having people stare at the sun until they were blind too. I’d also have them disrobe outdoors on cold days and sit on frozen park benches. That’s the fun of being a photographer. Otherwise, all you’re doing is looking through a hole and pushing a button. What kind of job is that? Luckily, I know all of my own tricks. So I declined my doppelganger’s offer to blind myself for his entertainment. But I respected him for trying.

So I'll ask again: is he lying or is he just that fucking stupid? In the debate he said he was "smart" if he didn't pay any federal taxes (and he didn't pay any); after the debate, within an hour of its end, he said that he never said that. He's either too goddam stupid to be president, or he's suffering from dementia and cannot reasonably ascertain what he did or didn't say.

I'm amazed as well, that this man could con his way into a leadership role - mainly because it's steeped in shallowness and is only outdone by the callousness of the host, namely Trump. Uniquely unprepared is an understatement of epic proportions...Trump-sized, if you will. I truly appreciate your review of the debate, but here's something that you mention that I believe people (the media in particular) missed: Quote:Instead of talking about the future of our nation, Trump talked about his new hotel. "If I don't get there one way, I'm going to get to Pennsylvania Avenue another" Wow! Pitching his new hotel during the Debate. Could you believe that? And he says he will be totally unbiased running his businesses if he gets to the White House. Yeah, I believe that one. But, more importantly, it shows how incredibly single and simple-minded he is - business and profit for him is paramount. Not only does that smack of conflict of interest, it could go against national security and the national agenda. He would sell us out for profit (which I believe he's already done). It also shows how incredibly defeated he is, in his own mind (and I use that term loosely). It's like standing up during an interview and telling the interviewer to hurry because you have another appointment across the street. You're telling them you don't want the job, you're telling them you don't think you'll get the job. The most important, most powerful job in the world. Oh, he wants it, but he doesn't want to work for it. He wants people to say - "We totally get your awesome. Here, here are the keys to the kingdom, your majesty." I found that supremely off topic, but very telling. Quote:Disorganized, stumbling and sniffling throughout the debate, Trump proved that he clearly isn’t ready for prime time. It is worth repeating.

SGG Trump fell into every trap Hillary set because he was getting to talk about himself. He loves to talk about himself and he can't let anything go. And he always played the victim. For someone who runs on the fact that he would be a strong leader, always being a victim shows you are not. I think the next debate is in a town hall format. If so he's fucked. ____________________________________________ Russia trolls get contract extension http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=60719

Quote:Originally posted by SECOND: Is Monica Lewinsky the Trump comeback for Miss Universe? Donald Trump seems to be itching to bring up Bill Clinton’s sex life the next time he debates Hillary Clinton. It’s a high-risk strategy. It could offend women, remind voters of Trump’s own marital infidelity and frustrate participants at the next debate, where voters will post the questions, likely more about issues that affect their lives. Trump allies slam Hillary for staying married. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a top Trump adviser and no stranger to infidelity himself, this week called Hillary Clinton “too stupid to be president” for remaining with her husband after the scandal involving Monica Lewinsky broke in 1998. More than a quarter of female likely voters said their opinions of Trump had dropped after watching the debate — which included revelations about Trump’s disparaging remarks about a former Miss Universe — according to an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll released Thursday. Clinton’s image improved for nearly a third. Attacking a woman for her husband’s indiscretions could offend the very voters he wants to attract. “That won’t play well with suburban women,” said Terry Madonna, director of the Franklin and Marshall College Poll in Pennsylvania.

Quote:Originally posted by second: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/#now Let’s dispel with this notion that Donald Trump knows what he’s doing. Trump is blowing it. To make a long story short, Donald Trump is the GOP nominee in a year when a generic Republican would be favored to beat a generic Democrat. Rather than running against a generic Democrat, he is running against an unusually unpopular Democrat. And he is losing. That’s not good. Of course, the mere fact that Trump’s overall campaign is ineffective doesn’t mean that every particular choice he makes is bad. But it does mean that there’s no particular reason to give him the benefit of the doubt. The big lesson of the 2016 campaign is that the fundamentals matter a lot. The electorate is polarized, and so even a really bad candidate has a high floor. Clinton has major weaknesses in terms of weak economic growth and voter fatigue with Democratic Party leadership (manifesting in 2016 largely in millennial disaffection with Clinton, even as young voters eschew Trump). These factors keep Trump perennially within striking distance; it’s a very winnable election for him. But instead of winning, he is losing. And he has been consistently losing, because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/9/30/13108314/trump-campaign-strategy

Or do you just need to keep avoiding your feeble notions about how right Hillary is by obsessing how wrong Donald is? Donald is only wrong because he is a Republican. I think he is a clever Republican for speaking about a "nightmarish" world that does not exist outside the average Republican's brain. Oh, there are real problems, the kind that can't be fixed by ending the estate tax on Trump's estate or lowering the pass-through income tax on Trump's business or nominating a new Scalia to the Supreme Court or abolishing Obamacare or whatever easy-painless-cheap solution Trump is selling at any moment. Since Trump's solutions won't fix any real problems, I'd classify all Trump's problems as imaginary. Trump's solutions make Trump's life easier and that is NOT why you elect a President, to make their personal business fortunes better. Trump is like a Joss Whedon tuned to a different audience. When Joss finishes a vampire story, you know vampires are not real. When Trump does the same story, he is trying to make you believe vampires are real in the nightmarish world he describes, making you afraid to go out at night. Joss and Trump both know what mood they are selling and they are good at it. I've got an enormous amount of experience with average Republican voters in Texas and they want to kill innocent programs such as Obamacare or long standing tax programs such as the estate tax, not because the programs are actually evil, but because their imaginations have taken control over their good sense. Trump feeds their imaginations with unreal horrors. He is good at it, but it is bad.
