Diaper Don is starting to look like the drunk guy who sat down at the table and won every pot for an hour playing hyper-LAG, bluffing and sucking out constantly. The table has adjusted and is snapping him off constantly but he just can’t stop shoving.

I’m talking about in 1986. Not now. Reagan won 49 states. Whether you like it or not, he was a beloved figure.

This is the part of the election cycle where I start worrying that Russia might throw a hail mary and activate some sleeper cell in the US who actually thinks they’re communicating with and being paid by ISIS.
Only in this case it probably wouldn’t sway the election. So it would have to be big enough to actually delay the election. Like maybe a bunch of lone nuts shooting people and blowing up at polling places on election day. Or maybe at early voting places a few days before the election. Scatter them all over the country for maximum chaos.
Mandatory that every elected Democrat calls Trump a coward too shook to lose another debate to Biden. I know people are relieved at the prospect of not having to sweat another debate. But no way should this slide. His entire brand is strength. This would be a major show of weakness.

And he’s going to flip over the table. The question is, will the casino bosses throw him out on his ass after he flips the table?

Russia is a poor and ignorant country. Trump has already spent $1bn on the election, with many professionals and strong-ish GOP infrastructure. I’m more worried about Barr and Trump judges than Russia.

Putin has killed people on foreign soil. He’s constantly hacking any computer in the US he can. He probably blew up his own apartment buildings to cement power.
I’m not saying I think it’s likely. But what’s stopping him? They might have lone idiots they’ve been grooming for decades - all covering their tracks so the lone idiots think they’re talking to ISIS or w/e.
I don’t think papa Trump ever read the “Boy who Cried Wolf” to Trump. He’s been throwing all kinds of crazy shit at the wall, especially the last two months. None of it sticks because everyone is like, “Oh, it’s just Trump making shit up again.” He’s acting like a superhero who can’t understand that he lost his super powers.

*among whites
The national exit polls have broken out their survey results by racial group since 1976, and since that year, the Republican nominee for president has received, on average, 54.8 percent of the white vote, while the Democratic nominee has garnered an average of 40.6 percent. In 1980, 1992, and 1996, third-party candidacies affected the distribution of the white vote. The highest percentage secured by a Republican was the 66 percent won by Ronald Reagan in his landslide re-election in 1984; the lowest Democratic number was Walter Mondale’s 34 percent in that same election.

Reagan was a “beloved figure” and won landslide victories because the electorate was overwhelmingly white: 88% in 1980 and 86% in 1984. It was down to 70% in 2016. He lost African Americans 9:1 and Hispanics 2:1 in 1984, about the same as Trump in 2016.
Not until there’s not a dollar left in his pockets.
Trump: I am PAYING for these microphones, Mr. Green!
Green: Sir, these microphones cost far in excess of $750.

Rush and Hannity going with the 2nd debate moderator being a former Biden intern story today. Trying to lay the groundwork for why Trump might not debate to the base. I think Trump debates nearly 100% of the time here personally. He is extremely far behind. Anything that increases variance helps him at this point.

I know. I understand that.
Goes to what a lot say here. The vast majority of Americans don’t pay attention. They saw a raging lunatic. It was a shock for a lot of people.

Putin won, he got what he wanted
Correct… Putins been installed for life, he got what he aimed for, the Russian people in moscow & St Petersburg generally like him and he has certainly improved the young folks outlook in life.
Unfortunately he’s messed us up far worse… 
Lol excellent excellent. It’s true. He’s the first candidate to push all in every time. All of the small ball donkeys folded for a while, but it was just a matter of time before they adapted. I can’t wait for someone to call him with fucking trash and he can’t believe it. You called me with that? With THAT? And then he still loses.

If he refuses they should absolutely still have the debate and put a chair in his place.
