Mo money mo problems

Ken McKay, who is running the super PAC, said some donors worry Trump can't win the general election, and others think the billionaire businessman has enough money to fund the campaign himself since he has repeatedly said so.

Starting to look like a Klan rally

Trump has always said his convention would be … unusual. “The last Republican convention was extraordinarily boring,” he has argued. “It’s very important to put some showbiz into a convention, otherwise people are going to fall asleep.”

In part, he doesn’t have a choice. Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush have both excused themselves; same goes for former presidential nominees Romney and McCain. Meanwhile, the roster of Republican politicians who plan to skip the festivities is growing — from rising stars worried about tarnishing their reputations to current reelection candidates concerned that an appearance in Cleveland would hurt them back home this fall.

Yesterday I spotted my first Trump supporter. Had a couple of Trump bumper stickers and of course a Rebel Flag on the back of their 40 year old, rusted pick-up. Where I live in NC it is very conservative and even more so towards places I ride and that was the first sighting since the election started.

I have actually seen quite a few up here. But PNW rednecks are scarier than Southern rednecks.

Wrong side of Civil War vs wrong side of WWII

I've seen maybe 2 or 3. Lots of obummer terk my jerb stuff, but that's constant up here.

 

[slyfink]

Any Hillary bumper stickers? Here in Canada I've seen a few Bernie stickers, but not much else....

 

[Pesqueeb]

Here in Jesusistan I've seen 2, maybe 3, stickers for Hillary. Maybe a dozen or so Bernie stickers. Shockingly, I can only recall seeing one drumpf sticker.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Saw another "Make America Great Again" bumper sticker. This time it was on a hybrid fuel vehicle in downtown. Hmmm...

 

[stoney]

Protest vote confirmed. Crazy Jill Stein over Hillary.

That's more than just shocking. Did you walk through a tunnel towards the light before driving?

Meet a guy who introduced himself as Rod or Mr. Sterling?

Oh, it's not that far out. Still lots of Cruz or Carson stickers to be seen. With any luck these people don't know yet.

not all bernie voters are going to get in line for hillary....

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

True, but if you think they are going to vote for Trump, then you really have not been paying close enough attention.

 

[stevew]

Trump hires "Rapid Response" director

What could go wrong?

The Trump campaign last week hired Steven Cheung, formerly of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), as its “rapid response” director.

According to a statement from the campaign, Cheung will spend his time “pushing back on false or unbalanced reporting.”

Cheung worked as UFC’s director of communications in Las Vegas for more than three years, according to his LinkedIn page.

I wonder if that's related to this idiot Trump staffer advocating "disappearing" civil rights protestors?

Boo! is all I have to say. Let's see how many of those platform policies are pulled back post-election.

The brown one?

Yeah Hillary is definitely coming off with a bit of the Godfather vibe to win the presidency. Not real thrilled with the situation, but the thought of Trump at the helm is horrifying.

So this election I'm just going to tell myself I'm voting against Trump.

Besides, we're due for a female President. Go ahead and let her have it so we can move on to a gay, non-Christian Latino. That way with all the boundaries broken, maybe we can move a wee bit forward.

First if all here is the long forgotten reality. Democracy is all about compromise. No one gets everything they want, stop being butt hurt. Bernie wasn't my perfect candidate but he did reflect my ideals closer than any other candidate. Yes, that was farther to the left than any other major candidate. Not only did that not jive with the "left" or other democrats but even less so with the rest of the population. Hillary represents a centrist left policy, not my ideal but she has been selected as the left of center candidate and best represents my views of the remaining options. Not voting for her or voting for Trump would be a disservice for everything I believe in.

Secondly: People need to get the fuck over the presidency as a personality contest. This ain't American Idol. I have never been friends with someone who talks at me from a podium, and that is what every president or senator is ever going to be for me.

Do I like Hillary as a person? No
Do I want to hang out or have her as a neigbhor? Nope
Does the sound of her voice annoy the crap out of me? Yes
Do her policies perfectly match mine? No
Is she my ideal candidate? No

Is she a shrewd strategist? Yes
Is the ruthless in getting what she wants? Yup
Is the the nominee whose views are the closest to mine? Yes

These are things would make her an extremely effective executive and very much qualified for the job. This scares the shit out of the right wing nut jobs and they have been smearing her name for decades, even many left wing nut jobs have bought into this. If you have been hearing the same thing for 20 years you start believing it. I honestly think a lot of this is really because she is a woman. The things that people hate hillary for, are the same attributes people like Trump for. Strong, ruthless, decisive. Not values we traditionally respect women for.

Well said.

I would have rather the compromise not entailed another messy foreign war (or two). Hillary is coming the right way on many policies but she's still a war hawk last I checked.

 

[stevew]

i just hope kevin and davew like who we elect....that is the only thing i care about.

 

[DaveW]
