Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Nope, that's not what it means.
Sorry, you missed the boat, this line is used just about everywhere.

"Cavs put 100 pts, 40 points scored by Lebron alone/himself."
Which word is correct?
Strawman. I agree with "alone" in the Lebron sentence, but I stand by my critique of your usage regarding Drudge.

"Alone" means separating the subject from everybody else.

Lebron, aside from everybody else's contributions, scored 40 points.

"Drudge alone", in the context you wrote it in, means that only Drudge did so, nobody else. You meant "Drudge himself".

Drudge alone links to CNN, WashPo, and CBS, who all published the video, and so has every MSM outlet.
I don't see how you can spin the video. It is what it is.
It's Hillary collapsing, it can only be negative even after all the excuses.

Drudge doesn't just "link" to news stories. He frames the story in a certain context, using his own words in the link.

Perhaps you should have a second look at the Washington Post article. The fool who wrote that article is merely stating that Hillary should consider releasing her medical records to debunk the right-wing conspiracy theories about her health, and that she should tell trump to release his medical records too. CNN and CBS will wrote the story in a very neutral fashion, and will be very quick to post follow-ups from her campaign team .

Uh oh this is really starting to smell funny... it took them the whole day to decide to tell the truth? Sounds real shady...
 And even if it is true a 70 year old lady getting pneumonia in middle of the summer and passing out is still terrible optics

Probably. But I'm not convinced it will be sustainable.
If this happened on the Sunday before the elections it could very likely flip the election.

Bingo.

If this were anyone but Trump running against her, she would be finished. Alas, Trump will undoubtably say something stupid in the next week that will bounce Hillary back up.

That's my feeling, though his new team has been controlling him well.

Let's see what the debates bring. They each will have the proper chance to implode under the spotlight.

Of course the Clintons are lying and covering up. That what they do for a living.

I'd rather have an unconscious Hillary in the white house, than a conscious Trump. Less damage.

The question is, who is controlling Hillary? Who is on the other side of that earpiece?

You think so? I don't. At the very best she had coughing fits from Pneumonia which they blamed on allergies, then she fainted and for a whole day they were just saying she overheated and now say it is this. That means they are not being up front about her health.



Misleading the public should be the death blow whether or not the disease itself is too debilitating for a world leader. Let the voters know what she is suffering from and they will decide. As others have pointed out, there have been presidents in the past with health issues (physical and mental) - many of them great presidents. But if a candidate has a health issue and knows about it, disclosing it to the public is more important than disclosing tax returns.
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Better the danger you know than the one you don't.

how about Huma? Oh forget it, you read the Times too much to hear anything this election. They boast about their biased coverage.

She will never disclose everything. This election is a do or/and die for her.

To watch a person literally destroy themselves in the obsessive pursuit of power is tragic.

Not waiting, working.... tirelessly.
And not decades... a whole lifetime.

Hillary for all her negatives, is wicked smart. She also knows how to get under your skin.

She's gonna bait Trump thru all the debates to say something abhorrent.

Can Trump control himself?

The answer to this question, may decide who's the next prez.

The most shocking thing is that Trump hasn't said anything yet. I'm picturing him tied up kicking and screaming begging for a phone to tweet with, and his team showing him giant golden Trump signs to try calm him down.

Trump has said abhorrent things many times and it hasn't stopped him yet.
