The 2016 US American Election Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

Trump is campaigning tomorrow with #### Ryan. Must see TV unless it's canceled

[Swift]

Yes, of course. Forgot about that.

A. J. Delgado (Trump advisor) - Trump's talk has zero impact on how his policies would affect Americans. But sure, let's waste a day in the Ivory Tower feigning outrage.

[GGG]

The wiki leaks speeches have some good sound bites but overall I'm impressed that even in private speeches when the entire speech is read it's mostly reasonable policy.

The biggest ammunition is probably her pro trade open boarders quote which is likely a lot closer to where she is in terms of actual policy then the anti TPP position she tends to present.

I will never vote for Trump.
He said something bad.

If you say something bad, you should never be president.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I think this is right, but didn't Trump say if she released the transcripts he'd release his taxes? If the worst she says in them is the stuff on trade and open borders, she should probably release them now and make him look even worse.

Hitting on married women? Condoning assault? Such vile degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt America's face to the world.

Impressive.

Maybe it looks that way in the 2D world of logic and reason, but in the 3D world of emotion where master persuaders like Donald Trump and Scott Adams operate, Trump has already won the election.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I wanna know who leaked the audio to the Clinton campaign. Probably a lot of producers Trump pissed off during his time with NBC, so could be a long list of potential leakers.

When you continuously say and do the deplorable things that Trump does, you are unfit to be president.

You forgot about the emails though. Don't forget about those emails!

If you say something bad because you're a shallow clueless moron you should never be president.

Many Republicans are openly seeking a resignation tonight.

This is a blood bath.

This might be true in the case of someone like Hillary Clinton

She has all of these qualifications to be president so the mishandling of 7 or so emails shouldn't disqualify her from being president.

If Trump had a long list of reason he was qualified to be president it might be possible to say that this was locker room talk. If he hadn't been accused of grabbing a women's genitailia previously you might be able to assume it was locker room talk. However when a persons own words back up accusations of assault by others it's certainly isn't locker room talk. It's describing his actual opinion on how he picks up women.

So it isn't that he said something taken out of context here. He is describing how he sexually assaults women.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Forget the content of the comments for a minute (if you can) and just think about this: Trump feels like he has to impress every single person he speaks with. He has to just talk about what a cool ass mother####er Donald Trump really is, even when speaking with a total loser in Billy Bush. He feels he has to impress Billy Bush...that is mighty pathetic. His mind is damaged, whatever conspiracies about Hillary's health pale to the evidence that keeps showing Trump is deranged. At some point in time you could have I guess thought it was an act, but not anymore. He's just too ####ed in the head to be President.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Yeah there's Republicans all over twitter who aren't happy. It's great entertainment watching people distance themselves from him.

Maybe YOUR dining room table...

Going around twitter but not sure if it's real or not.

Yup, and this comment from a tweet about it made me laugh rather hard.

Lol.

Really curious to see what they'll do. I mean if they hadn't posted the reaction about locker room talk so fast they could actually do something about it. Trump could have made a speech of contrition and said his comments were reprehensible and that he doesn't think that way now or some made up bs and while maybe not many would have believed him it'd at least have good optics.

But that locker room talk non-apology kind of removes that option.
