Idiocracy

If Michelle Obama were running I think she'd be 30 points ahead.

That would be a dream come true.

One can completely understand why people plagiarize Michelle Obama

Quite the speech by Hillary.  History has been made. Not since 96 years ago when women were given voting rights in America, has a woman accepted her party's nomination to win the presidency come this November.

Wow!  What a moment when Hillary gave her acceptance speech.  Whether she is likeable or not in the eyes of the American electorate, compared to the blustering buffoon that is Donald Trump, she comes across as a far saner, reserved, steady, and experienced leader.

Evan McMullin, a former CIA counterterrorism officer, will run for president as a third-party conservative alternative to Donald Trump, GOP operatives working to back the candidate told ABC News today.

The operatives working on McMullin's bid resigned from Better for America in order to push his candidacy. Better for America, a 501(c)(4) organization that cannot officially endorse or back McMullin's bid, has been working for months on trying to select a candidate and get on ballots throughout the country. In some states, like Texas, they will likely have to sue to get on the ballot. A 501(c)(4) is an issue-based nonprofit that can raise unlimited funds and does not have to disclose its donors.

It's an extreme uphill climb, but his supporters are confident McMullin, 40, can act as a disruptor who they hope can peel off some red states in a race where some Republicans are still resistant to Donald Trump.
 
Real Clear's polling averages have Clinton ahead in North Carolina and just behind in Arizona and Georgia. If Clinton could flip those three states(and keep the rest of the solid Democratic states) then she could lose Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia and Iowa and still win the election.
 
He's rambling and advocated someone from the 2nd amendment crowd end Clinton.  Unbelievable.

It's crazy, and, I'm pretty sure, criminal. Honestly, I'm not sure what worries me most about it - that he's not aware enough to understand he needs to parse his words to be exceptionally clear that they aren't interpreted by some of the crazies that follow him as a suggestion that they take matters into their own hands, or that he does and he simply does not care/wants people to interpret things that way.

There are those who believe that Trump is not fit to be president due to his temperament and off-the-cuff comments.  If that is a marker by which one is judged based on their performance throughout their campaign tenure, then it is a definite and precise fact.

I shudder to think what a Trump presidency will bring.  Some people defending Trump may bring up the fact that the man is a businessman first, not an objective-speaking, lying politician.  While that is true, still, it doesn't absolve the fact that Trump's manners,  choice of words and sense of indifference have irked, offended, and annoyed many already.  All of this without him being a politician.  Something to ponder, indeed.
 
His "business" acumen is suspect at best. He has been bankrupt 4 times, and had some
very very dubious forays like Trump University to name just one. He's riding on the
name recognition just like the Kardashian's - and leveraging that into a "brand" and selling
that only.

Something that will be taking a hit very soon if not already.

Roger Ailes, the former Fox News chairman ousted last month over charges of sexual harassment, is advising Donald J. Trump as he begins to prepare for the all-important presidential debates this fall.

Mr. Ailes is aiding Mr. Trump?s team as it turns its attention to the first debate with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, on Sept. 26 at Hofstra University on Long Island, according to four people briefed on the move, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

Two of them said that Mr. Ailes?s role could extend beyond the debates, which Mr. Trump?s advisers see as crucial to vaulting him back into strong contention for the presidency after a series of self-inflicted wounds that have eroded his standing in public opinion polls.

It makes a certain degree of sense. He's not going to try to debate on the facts so who better to go to for a crash course in empty rhetoric and name calling.

The optics of it are bad, sure, but it's not like there are people supporting him right now that'll see this as a breaking point.
 
I mean you have leading Trump people endorsing 'Afghanistan was Obama's war', 'Obama created ISIS (but not in the way where leaving Iraq was the cause even though a lot of the policy to make that happen was signed under Bush)' and outright making up medical diagnoses about Clinton.

Then you had Ru9/11dy Gu9/11ill9/11iani making statements how there were no terrorist attacks on US soil in the 8 years prior to Obama.

Trump is a car-wreck and the only people that are going to formally latch on to him at this point are other disasters.

Hector, while small of hand is most certainly well endowed. 

I have had patients write letters to employers/judges/lawyers and they ask me to put a signature on them.  I don't, I offer to write my own letters and they most certainly don't read like what they hand me.  What I just read in that article is something that reads like Donald wrote it himself and then paid someone to sign off on it.

Wrigley, which owns the Skittles brand, issued the following statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday night:

"Skittles are candy. Refugees are people," Denise Young, vp of corporate affairs for Wrigley Americas, told THR. "We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing."
