General Election Thread: Two Weeks Out

You've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well-read, it's well-known
But something is happening here and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?

CLINTON RECEIVED DEBATE QUESTIONS WEEK BEFORE DEBATE, ACCORDING TO SOURCES

Earlier last week an NBC intern was seen hand delivering a package to Clinton’s campaign headquarters, according to sources. The package was not given to secretarial staff, as would normally happen, but the intern was instead ushered into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. Members of the Clinton press corps from several media organizations were in attendance at the time, and a reporter from Fox News recognized the intern, but said he was initially confused because the NBC intern was dressed like a Fed Ex employee.

The reporter from Fox questioned campaign staff about the intern, but campaign staff at first claimed ignorance and then claimed that it was just a Fed Ex employee who had already left. No reporters present who had seen the intern dressed as a Fed Ex employee go into Mook’s office saw him leave by the same front entrance. The Fox reporter who recognized the intern also immediately looked outside of the campaign headquarters and noted that there were no Fed Ex vehicles parked outside.

Clinton seemed to have scripted responses ready for every question she was asked at the first debate. She had facts and numbers memorized for specific questions that it is very doubtful she would have had without being furnished the questions beforehand. The entire mainstream media has specifically been trying to portray Trump as a racist and a poor candidate. By furnishing Clinton with the debate questions NBC certainly hoped to make Clinton appear much more knowledgeable and competent than Trump. And though it is unlikely that anyone will be able to conclusively prove that Clinton was given the debate questions, it seems both logical and likely.
 
Everybody is in on the conspiracy against Trump!!!!

So far we have received:

1. The moderator was biased
2. Questions were delivered ahead of time
3. Faulty earpiece

WHAT WILL HE THINK OF NEXT?
 
People are saying that. It's impossible that Clinton could seem that much more prepared than Trump. Sad!

I'm pretty sure most of the posters on this board could have handled those questions. They weren't exactly wild cards. Let alone someone who has made a living out of public presentation, policy, and debate.

What, you've never heard of the Baltimore Gazette? That's because it's a fake paper, thrown out on the web to push crazy shit like this.

Yes, turns out the Baltimore Gazette is just one more in an increasingly baffling array of “parody” news sites that swap the humor of The Onion with the crackpottery of your great-uncle’s emails, all while dressing up their wares with as close an approximation to real news as they can muster. (Weigel reports that the “Gazette” does salt its bogus offerings with occasional stories that are on the level ― and stolen from other sources.)

Ah, no. I hadn't. After a morning of reading accusations that Clinton had some transmission device from the 1970's smuggled in her coat during the debate, it's tough to distinguish.

Some posters are fond of calling people "rubes" regarding this election. Well, I can give you an example of a true rube: Anyone who does not believe that the established powers in both political parties and in the media would do anything or stoop to any level to maintain their control & power if it began to look as if they might lose that power.

The questions asked in that debate is only one example of this deliberate activity. There will be many more examples in the next six weeks. Voters should be ever vigilant, because they are going to be constantly bombarded with negative Trump hysteria until election day. Desperate people will do desperate things.
 
"I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester and certainly cyber is one of them."
 
Surprised this hasn't been posted yet: The Arizona Republic, which has been around for 126 years, has never endorsed a Democrat for President. Until now.

Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never. This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles.

This year is different.

The 2016 Republican candidate is not conservative and he is not qualified.

That’s why, for the first time in our history, The Arizona Republic will support a Democrat for president.

I'm all for changing the political process. The desire to do so doesn't make one a rube.

The believe that Trump, in any way, shape or form, should be the one who does it, is where rube comes from.

TIL, BKF doesn't know what a "rube" is.

Evidently, you did not understand what I was saying....and it wasn't complicated at all. The bolded sentence in your post has nothing at all to do with my post. I wasn't talking about "desiring to change the system". I was talking about people refusing to believe that there is deliberate intent in the media to affect the outcome of this election.

ETA: And as an example of that deliberate intent...as it applies to your post above...the media directed the debate to go in an direction that would, hopefully, provide negative material against Trump, while letting Hillary slide free. What was said about the Clinton Foundation taking money from rogue nations to gain access to Hillary while she was SOS, for just one example?

I knew what you were saying. I chose to take it another route because I think you're unhinged.
