US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[Moshe123]

Should infuriate any sane human being.
Some attidute.

It runs in the blood.

This stuff is what Makes politics so stupid these days. The same thing would happen if someone on hillary side did it just every person would be arguing the exact opposite of what they're r saying now. It's like a schoolyard baseball game where it just so happens that everyone on one team thinks he safe and everyone on other team thinks he's out. There's no intellectual honesty and everyone wastes so much energy on things that don't matter

Okay call up the speechwriter and tell him he's dishonest for plagiarizing his own work.

BTW, according to plagiarism guidelines that is not either allowed.

Guidelines for what?

But nobody cares.

Just ignore all the swing state polls. Look at the RCP averages.

Can't +1 this enough. I was gonna say pretty much the same. If you find yourself on the same with every single issue, and you're defending every single thing 'your' candidate does, you're probably not being intellectually honest.

Oops, scenario.

[skyguy918]

Oops, scenario.

I don't know about that. I think it's somehow both a subconscious thing and a willful thing.

I see Clinton up 3 in the average.

Now, bring the averages for the swing states.

See what he writes about this exact point about an hour ago.

BTW, note how every LV poll from the last three weeks has Trump ahead.

How sweet. Awwwwww.

What a great boss Trump is.

According to McIver, Mrs. Trump "always liked" the First Lady and passed on her convention remarks as an "inspiration" for her own speech. Somehow, the passage ended up in the final version largely unchanged.
"Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama's speech as examples," McIver wrote. "I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama's speeches. This was my mistake and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused to Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama."

I could see this happening, seems like a very plausible explanation.

Looks like some placeholder text (good ideas from other speeches) didn't get replaced in the final draft.
