    Campaign 2016 Part XII: What Have We Done To Deserve This?

    (Continue)

    Obviously, we know what we did. There are a lot of reasons our parties are so terrible that ****ing Drumpf and ****ing Hillary are our options, but all of it comes back to them giving us what we've seemingly wanted. Our electorate is basically the voting equivalent of that Dark Knight Rises shooter...

        First the fellow RNC members fell in line in support of Trump. Next, the RNC's corporate partners are now falling in line. Looks like everyone is happy over at the RNC in getting behind Trump.

        All the hullabaloo about the RNC Convention being a dumpster fire have suddenly subsided.
        The Christian fundies and the family values folks as well.

        Which just goes to show that their whole thing isn't about Christian morality or family values, just that they hate the f@gs and abortion.
        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

          The irony there is Hillary is and Trump would be, if he had any principles at all, utterly moderate. Hillary is dead at the origin of a Cartesian graph of economics and foreign policy, while with Trump you need to project imaginary spaces using complex numbers to measure such dimensions as "did he really say that?" and "beg pardon?"

                Depending on how you're setting your baseline for "center" you may very well be right, but I don't think you can apply that to the overwhelming bulk of the Democratic party.

                She's certainly centrist in comparison to Sanders, but that's not a challenging comparison. Plus, she's a... uh... BIG MONEY campaigner. Even if she's not that far to the left, she's a poster child for the SuperPAC campaign model that's been used by the GOP to turn the right into a **** show, and it WILL have an adverse effect on the Dems if we don't get the campaign financing/corruption aspect of our government under control in the next few cycles.

                  We pulled the plutes back from the abyss of dictatorship twice before, with TR and then FDR. Hillary isn't the third goal in that hat trick, and I seriously doubt her SCOTUS appointees will help (though they are sure to be better than the Federalist phone book Trump cribbed from Jeff Session's porn tabs).

                  I'm not sure how we can stop them short of a constitutional amendment that says spending isn't protected speech. That lie is such cocaine for the plutes that it might take an armed insurrection to force them to drop it.

                        We are going to see the same thing all the way until November. Trump may be bombastic, tShrillary is caustic and toxic.

                          Provocative piece. Franck has a way of being on point about quirky, imaginative minutia while still being wildly wrong about everything important. He has such an eye for the interesting idea, or discrepancy, or observation. He has a first rate critical mind impaired by some tragedy in his autobiography that he was never quite able to come to terms with, even if only to move beyond. It's like reading Hemingway after he became an alcoholic, or seeing an Italian race car hampered by low octane fuel.

                            Not saying that this is the case, but ... Has anyone thought about the possibility that this sudden swing in polling favorability for Trump over Hillary could have something to do with the Bernie Sanders supporters? I receive emails from the Bernie campaign (never once did I or would I ever ask for them lol) and they are trying to a point to their supporters on a regular basis that his only shot now is to convince the super delegates to switch sides. Which only will happen if they have a strong reason to fear how she will do in the general election against Trump. Not sure how that could correlate to polling data, but if they know to say Trump instead of Hillary hoping that could swing the polls to make her look bad that could make a big difference.
