Funtatlaguy's JournalNo matter how much you may like or dislike Hillary....
I hope that everyone tries to impress on everyone they know that....
She is the only thing that can stop CRAZYTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm much more worried about the post media debate spin
than the debate itself.
Hillary will be just fine tomorrow night.
But, so many people just hear or read the spin that night or in the ensuing days.
The bar is so low for Trump.
If he just stands there and doesn't fall down slobbering, many will say he won. Sigh.
Anybody know any Repubs that will vote for Hillary?
I'm looking for unusual stories.
Maybe a close friend or family member who has never voted for a Democrat before.
Or just someone you know that is so repulsed by Trump that they will vote against him.
I have a Republican brother who has ruled out Trump.
Ruled out Johnson after his Aleppo comment.
Would never consider Stein or Hillary.
Will go vote for all Repubs on ballot and either leave Prez line blank or write in Jeb Bush.
Wonder if any polling will be done right after the debate?
Love to see what people thought of the actual debate and not all of the latter spin.
What every reporter believes but will not say publically.
Now that the race is "tied", the new thing for reporters to ask Democrats is ...."why, with all of his negatives, is this race so close".
They know that there are two answers:
1. The medias non stop coverage of Trump and the false equivalency stories they promote.
2. The fact that there are a lot of uneducated, racist, sexist, xenophobic, Americans.
If any mainstream reporter has ever said this, someone please send me the link. Thanks.
24/7 news cycle created Trump and just might elect him
All thinking members of the media from the executive producers, line producers, writers, editors, anchors, reporters, on down know that Trump is supremely unqualified to be Prez.
But, if they just flat out said this, what more would be needed to say.
So, they can't and/or won't say this.
Why?
Because every day they have to keep feeding the 24 hour, seven days a week news cycle beast with new material. So, keep finding more stories on him whether they be pro or con. But, never say any of the awful things he's done or says be considered disqualifying.
And, as a result, just keep giving him constant free air time negating the need for him to buy much air time.
Yes, they created him and allowed him to win the nomination.
Now, they might do the once previously thought unthinkable and give him the most important job in the world.
They will continue to go with the "false equivalency" narrative of two EQUALLY bad choices.
Even though they know that, even on her worst day or even with her worst fault, trait, or errors that she is eminently more qualified and suited by every metric for the job.
But, their biggest and most important goal is a tight race. That's all that matters
They hope the false equivalency way to cover it will give them their close horse race and keep readers, listeners, and viewers with them all the way thru election night when the polls close on the west coast.
And, if Trump wins, I would bet that eventually many of them will privately weep when they are home alone and realize the role that they played in allowing the greatest con job ever perpetuated on the American people. Hopefully, they won't be crying while watching a mushroom cloud heading to take us all down with them.
I'd be ok with both candidates releasing everything.
Let's say Hillary releases all:
Transcripts of bank speeches
Medical records
Meetings with Clinton Foundation donors
Any unreleased still avail emails from private server.
Trump releases:
All medical records with his voodoo gastroenterologist.
All tax returns from last twenty years.
All phone conversation transcripts or dates of meetings or phone calls with foreign governments.
Yes, Hillary might be releasing some embarrassing and possibly damaging information.
But, I'd bet anything that Trumps information would be disqualifying not just embarrassing.
IMHO, it is worth her calling his bluff if he insists on all her medical records.
Could Weld now lead the Lib ticket?
Should the Libertarian party, such as it organizationally, want to dump Johnson, do they have time?
Could the ballots in most states be re-written if they moved up Bill Weld to Prez nominee and added a new veep?
Here comes crazy Gary on Msnbc
Now7:45 am eastern...Libertarian...semi nut job...Gary Johnson up next for those interested.
Good Lord, total ambush
From the start, she's being treated like a hostile witness on trial.
Matt Lauer sucks.
