US Presidential Debate

People who feel disenfranchised warm to politicians who make errors of grammar and even outright factual errors, who are confident and seem like they're practical and not part of the game.

When they're anxious about their economic future they look to policies that sound like they're protective—such as protectionism itself, which shapes both Trump and Hanson's agenda, and anti-immigrant politics.

"Make America Safe Again" is Trump's new paternal pitch after Dallas.

Meanwhile Jill Stein has invited Sanders to take over the Green ticket. If that happened it could demolish the meaning of all polling to date.

Would be a huge boost to trump no?

Burnwinter

Yeah, defo. Might even give him a chance.

It's amazing how bad Trump is at politics (I think), why is there still more talk about his insanity this week than Hillarys massive incompetence and her lack of honesty. Why couldn't he shut up for a week and then come out with a statement about it. This would be the end of anyone not running against Trump.

As for Sanders on the green ticket I can't see it. He's almost certainly going to endorse Clinton this week.

I just don't think winning the presidency was ever his endgame, not when he declared and not now. He doesn't want the White House, his life is too cushy as is. Any campaign organizer or strategist worth their salt would have buried Clinton over this email scandal, Trump just let her off the hook. He'll lose resoundingly in the electoral college but close-ish in the overall tally and go back to full time tweeting like before.

Qwiss

If he didn't want it I don't think he'd have come this far. He could have stuck with his track record on abortion, gay marriage, etc and pushed them hard and he'd have lost the primaries. He's definitely trying to win. He's just kind of shit at it now. He found a niche in the primaries and it was enough to win but he can't win over enough people now.

If he wins all three states he'll win the White House.

Qwiss

I think he's going to murder her in the debates. The media might call them for her because she'll probably be more realistic and measured, etc but I reckon he'll sway the polls in his direction. The question then is how much does he shoot himself in the foot with other stuff.

@DanaBashCNN
Scoop: @realDonaldTrump was so unsure about @mike_pence that around midnight last night he asked top aides if he could get out of it

Qwiss

Not sure he's a great choice at all. Can see him alienating more people than he brings in.

This RNC convention is fucking hilarious. The navy seal giving the speech seems high as fuck.

edit: on second thought, the hate and warmongering is just sad and despicable.

I mostly look forward to seeing how accurately the polls will predict the election outcome. Populists often do better in elections than in polls.
