If team trump ever gets their shit together, they won't have any good advertising spots to even buy.
 
NBC Nightly news dedicated the first two segments to Trump. 1/3 of the show is dedicated to Trump.

They covered the refusal to endorse McCain and Ryan, his falling poll numbers, the Kahn family statements, the crying baby thing, the Purple Heart, his trouble with women voters, the sexual harassment thing and the "Take out the bitch" 10 year old.

I mean, this is just funny at this point. You couldn't write shit this bad.

And yet with everything that is happening I still don't think his poll numbers will fall below 40%. His supporters just don't care, and the republican party has two options right now. They either disavow Trump in mass or go along with it. Going along with him at this point seems to be an easy way to lose the House as well as the Senate, but straight up abandoning him could rip the party in two. Actually the faction that is with Trump is bigger than the people who won't support him, so we could actually see the GOP lurch even further right

Never say never. Him getting under 40% of the vote is possible. If clinton can get closer to the mid 50's for popular support on election day and Johnson gets a high enough percentage of the vote he will end up getting below 40% of the vote.

And I bet lack of voter enthusiasm on the R side will be exacerbated by the complete lack of ground game.
 
Your mom have a hand full of rings? Giant blocks of jade and gold. Each weighing five pounds.

When she was young, and I was an unruly child, they really gave the hits some heft.

No ring other than her wedding ring, thank goodness. Typically, though, she favored the wooden spoon. Nice weight in the hand. Sturdy.

Outspending your opponent isn't always a good thing. IIRC Linda McMahon lost her senate race because a hurricane hit Connecticut and over a weekend people stayed to watch tv... where her attack ads were almost on a constant loop.

Then people felt sympathetic for the person Linda was attacking.

Clinton campaign needs to be careful

McMahon was also a very bad fit for Connecticut.
 
My local news comes back at 7 for a half hour of soft hitting news. Mostly local stuff, conversational from time to time.

They actually are going in on Trump again. They picked up on the "Ohio is rotting" line too. LOLOL
 
Honestly, how much does Hillary need to attack? Trump himself is making the case for his inability to lead by going on TV and saying dumb shit as if it's as necessary as breathing to him.

Maybe she should cut a "Daisy"-style ad, but otherwise, she should spend on positive ads that explain exactly what she plans to do and contrasts those clear, well-considered plans with the garbage that Trump is spewing (mostly indirectly and maybe in a few of the ads, directly).

Pennsylvania’s capital city said Donald Trump made “an unfortunate mistake” when he said it “looked like a war zone” from the window of his plane.

“Mr. Trump has made an unfortunate mistake in disparaging Pennsylvania’s capital city after a mere glance from the window of his airplane. Harrisburg is renowned as the heart of our commonwealth and a capital of unique beauty and charm,” Joyce Davis, the city’s Director of Communications, said in a statement released Tuesday. “Mr. Trump should know that Harrisburg and its residents are an integral part of the United States, which he is vying to lead.”

Keep on fucking that chicken
 
I mean, you can't write this shit. He's just terrible. And....I have no idea how he made it through the primaries, other than primary GOP voters have worst taste than I do?

No matter how wrong you can be on certain foods and drinks... I mean like amazingly wrong... you have nothing on how wrong the GOP can be on a grand scale.

Seems like the smart thing to do is use the same strategy that worked at the convention: air a lot of ads touting Hillary Clinton's accomplishments, and a lot of ads featuring footage of things Trump has said out loud in public. Make a contrast.

Awww, how nice. :) Thank you! FYI, my bf actually agrees with you all. He says my tastes in alcohol is terrible. He doesn't bitch about my taste in food because otherwise he'd have to cook for himself. And no one wants that.

Me either. If the Dems pulled this shit, I'd be outtie 5000.

Trump should be advertising heavily in the media market I'm in. I have seen only one anti-Hillary ad, and it's only been in the last few days. It's a negative ad about outsourcing.

On the other hand, I've seen quite a few Hillary ads. The best one is the children ad. That really sticks in your mind. Also, with his recent vomit mouth it's reinforcing the story in the media. So I think that's a good one. I've seen a few others which were more pro-Hillary. Then tehre are the ones with Trump making fun of the disabled that is incredibly effective too.

The best ads airing right now are the ones attacking Strickland. Incredibly effective.
 
Corey Lewandowski on CNN is floored. He doesn't know how to spin this positively. Best he can do is say that these un-endorsements don't matter because every person gets one vote so all he's done is lose one vote lmao.

BREAKING: Judge denies Trump bid for summary judgement in Trump University lawsuit: ruling
 
I've actually been staying away from social media today.

If people still support this guy after the biggest post convention clusterfuck I've ever seen, they've already lost my respect. Though being honest, given the constant racist shit they didn't really have it in the first place.

I'm becoming very uncompromising as I get older. You know... expecting someone vying for the highest office to have even a shred of human decency. Such a high standard. Thanks Republicans.
 
Like, with the Olympics coming up, this shit is going to firm up. No one's going to pay attention over the next month...and wow. They fucked up.

Corey talking about voter fraud potentially forcing a halt of a Hillary victory. Okay.

It's like they can't acknowledge that she could win fair and square. That is a problem.

I fully expect Trump to either come out in support for Russia during the games or do something similarly stupid, like insulting the Chinese gymnastics team with "They all look like they are 10 years old".

I have to say the Trump nomination is an exponentially bigger disaster for the GOP than even I hoped for in my wildest dreams.

You and me both, Dan. You and me both. =)

I think whoever it was earlier who said Trump's need for attention will get the best of him during the Olympics will probably be proven right. He's practically destined to say or do something outrageously stupid just to put the spotlight back on him.

THE GENERAL ELECTION JUST STARTED!

It's amazing.

This implosion still has three months to play out.

I don't think Dems thought he'd find himself jumping from disaster to disaster within the first week of the GE. Technically the first couple of days of it.

It's just crazy shit.

It'll uphold the lower court ruling, 4-4.

And at this point, Obama has tilted most of the lower courts in our favor.

I don't believe this would happen. Maybe I have too much faith, but I'm pretty confident Roberts and Kennedy would come across at the very least against Trump.

6-2 worst outcome. Very real chance of 8-0 against Trump.

Not that the case is even likely to get to SCOTUS.

This must have been what it was like watching Dukakis in a tank.

Or watching some of the crap conservative candidates did like last year in canada's federal election.

This is the worst week I've ever seen for anyone in politics. Ever. This is fucking insane how bad Trump is at this.

I watched campaigns like this one before. I still think nothing in this campaign will touch some of the crap candidates during the election campaign for the Canadian federal election last year.
