US President 2016 - the Great Horse Race

[ZiprHead]

Trump's war on the news services now in full swing

VICE News reporter arrested outside a Donald Trump campaign event

https://news.vice.com/article/vice-news-reporter-arrested-outside-a-donald-trump-campaign-event

"The campaign was not involved in this incident or aware of the details surrounding it. The event organizers were responsible for today's media presence and requested the campaign limit attendance to the traveling pool. The campaign had no staff presence at check-in for guests or media and therefore has no further knowledge of what occurred."

Riiiight...

Miami got its very own Naked Donald Trump statue. It had to be moved from its original location because it was visible from I-95 and creating a driving hazard. It now resides in Wynwood, and you just know that you want to see it:

WARNING: You will not be able to unsee this

On a related note, someone at the NYC Parks Department has a wicked sense of humour:

Naked Trump appeared in New York City's Union Square, attracting crowds until it was removed by the city's parks department, which offered this explanation: “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.”

The micropenis insult against Trump is odd. He's had three beautiful wives and fathered five children; the last when he was 60. But make fun of him for having a micropenis . . . ok. Hillary, on the other hand, somehow made Bill want every woman but her. As Colin Powell says, Bill is "still dicking bimbos at home."

I doubt Clinton has the Cardio to do that.

Regarding the mockery of Trump, it is petty, but not unexpected based on how little Trump respects almost everyone but himself.

It's a reaction to Trump talking about how big his penis was during one of the GOP debates. It was such a stupid and inane statement for a potential President to be making that mocking him with the exact opposite was the only rational course of action that anyone with a modicum of common sense or decency could possibly do.

You poor dear. It's not his penis that attracted those women, it's his money and fame. He did have the advantage of starting off with the money his daddy gave him, although a lot of experts say that he'd be a lot richer if he had invested his money, let's say in the same stocks as Warren Buffet. That Trump is such a loser regardless of the size of his whittle dick.

And, it really doesn't take a big penis to father children.

And Hillary didn't take advantage of being married to a former president? If she was still just Hillary Rodham, no one would know who she was. It's funny how partisanship invites hypocrisy.

Rational maybe, but decency?

Well, of course it's not decent. Mocking someone for having a small penis is like mocking someone for being black or gay. They're born that way and it's uncouth to use it as a slur against them.

However, when those traits reference lies or hypocrisy on their part, it's acceptable to use it as a diss against them, like when a rabidly anti-gay preacher in caught in a hotel room with a male prostitute - it's OK to reference his homosexual acts in a negative way. That isn't making a slur against the homosexuality in and of itself, but rather the homosexual activity of the alleged homophobe.

Similarly, Donald Trump has bragged about his large penis despite having a micropenis so small that his own daughter can barely tolerate him. It's the conflict between his statements and his reality which people are deriding him for.

This might really be a realignment election. Our accustomed red / blue state and liberal / conservative state categories may be passé.

[Trausti]

Given how close this election is, beliefs about what it takes to win a presidential election may need to be reconsidered.

Well, I wasn't expecting THAT as apart of your response.

Yes it is, but it's you engaging in hypocritical nonsense.

While I don't think Ivana was a gold-digger, even she married Trump knowing he was already rich.

Hillary did not marry Bill for his wealth or his power because he had neither when they married.

Isn't it amazing how some people just can't seem to understand what an analogy or parallel comparison is?

Ivanka married Trump for his money.
Well, Hillary married Clinton in 1975 to become Secretary of State in 2009.

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Well, Hillary married Clinton in 1975 to become Secretary of State in 2009.

Yes, but she works for the same group that faked a birth certificate back in the 1960s so that Obama could become President in 2008. They have serious long term planning skills.

It is a good point, but did you need to repeat yourself?

I get it. The long-term thinking of Hillary Clinton to get Obama elected over a period of 40 years, including writing his 4th Grade paper on Asia and editing the Harvard Law Review, should be rewarded with the Presidency.

Finally, an update on the poll asking the better question: "Regardless of who you support and trying to be as objective as possible, who do you think will
win the presidential election this November?"

And Clinton is up to 59% from 55% in June (per question 4 in the PDF).
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/06/_poli...-vs-clinton-presidential-polls-election-2016/

But most voters say they still expect to see Clinton prevail in November, and 59% think she will be the one to get to 270 electoral votes vs. 34% who think Trump has the better shot at winning.

And evidently, a 25 point gap, is about where Obama was over Romney at this stage as well:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/poll-candidate-expected-win-clinton_us_5787c63de4b08608d33379be

Looking back on the last three presidential elections, the expectations question predicted the overall outcome much more accurately than the intent question in nearly every poll who asked it in months leading up to the election. At this stage in the 2012 election, Obama led Romney by an average of 25 points on the expectations question,
