SayHeyDeac's Thread For Serious Political Discourse Only--Trolls Need Not Apply

I feel like Assange always thinks he is sitting on some goldmine and it ends up being nothing. This will be some bullshit, right wing sites will lap it up and in the end prove to be nothing per usual.

Assange and Nixon/Roy Cohn/Trump associate Roger Stone trolled everyone and ended up looking like dipshits again. Trump's running out of time. Two debates plus the VP debate left. Needs a decisive win in the town hall and not happening if he goes full Bubba. Early voting's already started and Wikileaks hasn't delivered.

You know you're desperate when the last arrow in your quiver is WikiLeaks.
 
If Wikileaks had a bombshell email that would destroy HRC, they would have already released it.

Timing is important on these things. The American sheeple, even when presented with a mountain of evidence against a candidate (see Slick Willie and Obummer), will forget within ten days of the candidate's many malfeasances. Assange will deliver.

Yeah, it was a troll job.

Trump backers realize they’ve been played as WikiLeaks fails to deliver October surprise

LONDON — The expectations were breathless.

For weeks, backers of Republican nominee Donald Trump have hyped the tantalizing possibility that the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks was on the verge of publishing a set of documents that would doom Hillary Clinton’s chances in November.

“@HillaryClinton is done,” longtime Trump associate Roger Stone tweeted Saturday. “#Wikileaks.”

The group’s founder, Julian Assange, did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm, suggesting to Fox News hosts that his scoops could upend the race with documents “associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles, some quite interesting.”

The announcement by WikiLeaks that it would host a major news conference Tuesday only seemed to confirm that the bombshell was ready to burst. The pro-Trump, anti-Clinton media world rippled with fevered speculation.

But if an October surprise about the Democratic nominee really is coming, it will have to wait a little longer.

Over the course of two hours Tuesday — with the world’s media and bleary-eyed Trump die-hards across the United States tuning in — Assange and other WikiLeaks officials railed against “neo-McCarthyist hysteria,” blasted the mainstream press, appealed for donations and plugged their books (“40 percent off!”).

But what they didn’t do was provide any new information about Clinton — or about anything else, really.

The much-vaunted news conference, as it turned out, was little more than an extended infomercial for WikiLeaks on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its founding.
 
You're ignoring this part for some reason.

BirtherDeac, did you hear Assange's people in Hawaii found some interesting things you wouldn't believe?

You mean this?



I won't deny they're out there. You'd be crazy to. Unless you know something we don't know yet.
 
Clinton campaign is hardly conceding OH & NC, they have Bubba and Michelle there today. Obama's going to Miami later this week. It's over with just PA, but Trump needs all of FL, PA, OH, and NC. Dems will cycle both Obamas, Bubba, and Biden through those states. Warren and Bernie are in the surrogate mix for HRC too, but not in the tipping point states. Trump's in AZ, he's getting smoked if he loses there (now within the margin of error). Trump and Pence can't afford to spend time in AZ or GA, they need help elsewhere and they have zero surrogates.

bet all of them draw larger crowds than Her Conteptuous Hillariness
 
Clinton up six in NC and nine in PA in new polls. Those are awful numbers for the GOP.

Rally attendance figures are a completely irrelevant metric with respect to measuring a candidate's popularity or electability. Remember that Nader drew crowds of 15 to 20 thousand in the year 2000, and got about 3% of the popular vote. Bernie was drawing crowds 30 thousand in the spring and list the primary by a few million votes.
 
So Trump got close, everybody except the Bobs said he peaked, the Bobs got excited, and he dropped in the polls.

I told the Bobs that he peaked, but they were too excited yanking each other's wangs to listen. Now they are blaming the media. Not that fact that Donald Trump is the worst presidential candidate of our lifetime by a wide margin.
 
A lot of people are saying that Pence set himself up well for 2020 with his statements about religion. The main problem with this is by 2020, this will be a diminishing minority of the public.

A large number of this group was born in the 30s and 40s. Many of this group will not be engaged and some won't be around. This will be contrasted with the growing power of millennials, more Americans of Asian ancestry, Hispanics, blacks and women who don't share Pence's extreme views.

The Pence wing's abhorrence of treating the LFBTQ community as full American citizens, with equal rights is even opposed by millennial Republicans. These and other non-religiosity in public policy are counter to Pence's political history and core.

The GOP needs to pivot from this hard line if they want to remain relevant nationally. There will continue to be a regional and local strength to this, but it doesn't hold true in the most populous states.

The GOP needs to find a young, less ideological group of candidates. This part of the past is waning and will not be renewed.
