The 2016 US American Election Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

I guess I need to give Kooky McKookerson credit, she's not even trying to hide that she's working for Russia. I went through her Twitter too and it appears to be almost nothing on the Green platform and lots of anti-Hillary.

Sources say this thread alone has earned CP an additional $480,000 in ad revenue this year, but Bingo won't release the tax returns.

He doesn't want it coming out the extra revenue is from hits that came from Oiler and Canuck fans.

Who's Bingo really working for?

Bingo has rigged this site.

Best way to get a Stephen Bannon interview? End up on the same flight as him

Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon says Donald Trump is "the master of the head fake."

According to Bannon, the news that President Obama's Trump-supporting half-brother Malik Obama is attending Wednesday's debate is "just an appetizer."

Trump will be bringing guests who "expose Bill and Hillary's sordid past," Bannon told CNN as he arrived in Las Vegas for the debate late Tuesday night.

When asked who comes up with the ideas to invite these guests, Bannon said, "We're a team."

Ryan Lizza, writing in The New Yorker this week, asserted that "Trump and Bannon have given up on trying to defeat Clinton. They seem more interested in creating a platform for a new ethno-nationalist politics that may bedevil the Republican Party—and the country—for a long time to come."

Bannon disputed that on Tuesday night, saying "the media thinks this is an ethno-nationalist movement" akin to the National Front in France, but it's "much more of a populist movement."

Bannon did not deny talk about a potential "Trump TV" network or streaming service after the election. When asked if there is anything to the rumors, Bannon responded with a smile and said, "Trump is an entrepreneur."

The question came up again later, and he answered in exactly the same way: "Trump is an entrepreneur."

Without answering directly, Bannon pointed out Trump's social media prowess on Facebook and Twitter. "Look at the engagement. It's incredible," he said. "They'll go live on Facebook and get a million viewers."

Bingo's working for Clinton of course.

Trump and Ailes not speaking:

But not because associating with Ailes while being accused of sexual assault is bad, not because Conway explicitly said the campaign was not connected to Ailes in any official or unofficial way... but because they seemed to have fought over debate prep.

Odds these people all end up on the next season of the Apprentice?

I wonder if Trump inviting Obama's brother is tied to Obama roasting him a few years ago at the dinner event.

"Whose laughing now Barry? I'm a presidential candidate and even your own flesh and blood supports me!"

[calumniate]

Man, Bannon calling their own campaign a populist movement? That's a crazy can of worms right there.

The fact that Trump and his collective of idiots think that "guests" at a debate are going to have any traction at the polls is just mind-numbingly stupid. His odds of winning are now close to a single digit, and Both Arizona and Texas are now in play, he's throwing all the #### at the fan he can hoping something will stick. What he doesn't recognize is he's standing directly beneath that fan, and its piled up around him.

Its not about winning anymore, its about securing wealth post election. He's going to lose, concede based on it being for the good of the country despite it being rigged, then kick off Trump news.

Really the whole GOP in non competitive races is positioning for the post election GOP landscape.

What would you guys see as the downside to Clinton not having her family even show up to avoid the confrontation altogether? Would that be a sign of 'weakness' and therefore not viable? Seems to me that if they don't want to worry about who Trump brings or who might have to shake who's hand, that they could just not have the rest of the Clintons attend. Just let some random staffers or members of the public have the seats.

They'll be no more Apprentice, Trump has wrecked his mainstream brand now, it's Duck Dynasty and the white power radio hour all the way from here on in.

Yep his brand is absolute poison now to anyone but his most ardent supporters.

I don't think it matters at this point. I don't see how anyone who is still undecided at this point is going to swayed by minor strategy or protocol at the third debate. At this point, nothing is swaying those people's opinions besides than a coin.

Do you think it’s fair to make Benghazi an election issue?

With the many issues in the current election, to use that incident—and to use Chris’s death as a political point—is not appropriate.

Trump is a ghoul.

Bannon did not deny talk about a potential "Trump TV" network or streaming service after the election.

Taken himself from notorious real estate developer and reality TV star to the financier of an American white nationalist version of The Rebel? SAD.
