2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt seems like Deja Vu all over again, another manufactured miracle, but this one will finally matter
The people who decide elections don't react like Pavlov's Dog to the media's manufactured drama, they're not watching cable news 24/7 in fact I doubt any of them watch cable news at all.
The bottom line is Trump is just as much of a douchebag today as he was yesterday, or a week ago, or a month ago, or a year ago, no amount of manufactured drama will change that.

That's the point, it doesn't, just as all the manufactured drama about Obama didn't matter

It's about Obama, showing Hillary. But Hillary's the only one running.
Yes, of course, Trump's a douchebag, but how does this finally matter to him?

Trump is a douchebag, nothing changed that yesterday

(58,785 posts)3. So it was just to post a Fox video on DU?
I'm still confused as to what this post is about. I don't mind right-wing propaganda if it serves DU's mission, but it needs to be explained. What's the FINALLY bit about?

(4,103 posts)5. It was to illustrate that all of this drama is irrelevant
The people who decide elections don't freak out over it the way people who are glued to their TV all day are, they know cable news is a joke and don't pay attention to it.

(58,785 posts)6. And that's why these emails finally matter... Okay.

We need to move on and get Hillary elected!
