The Batshit Crazy Republicans Roundup

[Dalty]

I think it's too late. The voters have made up their minds and the floaters are going to sit this one out.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Here's a thing:

Is "banging strange" a thing people say? It's new to me. I like it.

Also, it's sort of dumb to applaud a guy for not bringing up a thing he shouldn't have brought up, anyway. ("It sure was classy of Clara not to bring up Samantha's back alley coat hanger abortion!")

I could swear I heard it said on these boards. For sure.

Also, Trump's handlers have to start thinking strategically. What purpose would be accomplished if Monica was brought into the equation? If Repubs seriously want a female vote in this election then it's best to let that dog lie. Bill cheated on Hillary right? Bringing that old stuff up would create sympathy for the Democrat nominee I would think.

Besides, bringing that up means talking about his own history of cheating is fair game.

My thoughts exactly. His campaign manager now is a woman and a very, very smart woman at that. She'll know better, but he's an internet troll sprung to life so it's legitimately possible he won't be able to control himself and bring it up anyway.

Which would be absolutely delightful in that political suicide kind of way.

[H]e's an internet troll sprung to life so it's legitimately possible he won't be able to control himself and bring it up anyway.

And you give me shit!

[Adam54]

It takes a you to see a me doing that.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

And now you're mocking the Italian accent for some strange reason?!

[Adam54]

[Adam54]

The first batch of entirely post-debate polls are starting to trickle out. Clinton gained in Florida, Michigan, and held steady in New Hampshire (+7).

[Adam54]

Trump also appears to be spending the morning attacking a Mexican woman for gaining weight and allegedly making a sex tape.

Because, y'know, women and Hispanics never vote. Smart!

[Dalty]

The man has no inside voice!

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

On the contrary, there may very well be a number of voices in his head.

[Dalty]

I don't get why she hasn't hit the easy target? "Make America Great, Donald? Are you saying America isn't great? You hate America? You think it sucks??" or similar.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I've mentioned this in the past, I think. Obama was hammered for this a number of times by Republicans. It's clearly just a thing for people when it's the other side bitching about the US.

[Dalty]

Made me think of this.....

[Dalty]

Would any of you think its a good idea to bin off the electoral college system and move to majority voting or a different system?

[neglet]

I would be cool with that. The electoral college feels like a remnant of an era when not everyone got to vote, and the powers that be wanted to keep it that way. Direct election of presidents would feel more transparent. But I'm not sure you could get the little states to approve a constitutional amendment.

[Dalty]

Holy crap! Has Trump finally gone too far?

[Space Tycoon]

Yes.

[Space Tycoon]

I don't know if it will make any difference.

Trump's legions of loyal douchebros will snort their approval even louder. Just my opinion.

[Dalty]

They just think it's MSM ganging up.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

My mother used to make me take MSM. Shit's quackery.

[Dalty]

What does the Skoglometer say about Trump's chances?

[Adam54]

Zilch. And going even lower than that at the debate tonight.
