      Wrong!

      Need to double and triple down on the message! Push even harder on what horrible, awful, stupid, ignorant dumb asses they all are. I swear, any day now they're going to have an epiphany.

      Trust me. This is a bullet-proof strategy.

        I don't think do. Remember what the Godfather said, "It's business, not personal."

          No. You need to ignore them. Completely. Hillary wasted her time in West Virginia, and Georgia, and was on her way to Arizona when the second Comey letter came out. You're never going to get Trump voters to vote Democrat and you're never going to get Susan Sarandon Democrats to vote for Hillary.

          So, let's just stop trying to re-litigate it and live in reality.

              Supposedly a quarter of French voters didn't vote because they hated both candidates. That's what the third parties would have done.
              But Macron still won 70-30, like Chirac beat Jean-Marie Le Pen won 80-20 in 2002. That's what I'm saying would have happened here with a runoff. A two round system builds in a fire alarm. France has faced this twice now, with Le Pen and her father making it to the title game and the rest of the country waking up and saying "mon Dieu!"

              There is a large psychological difference between "I have so many choices but I hate the major ones and the minor ones have no chance" and "I can choose to stop a Nazi or sit it out."

                  Aren't the primaries (sort of) supposed to act as that moment of clarity, where we go, you know, if this is the best both sides offer, let's go with the safer pick?


                  And if we adopt anything from the French regarding the elections, I'm more partial to their hard cap on campaign spending and their ban from advertising on TV with their official TV air time being only on public television.

                    Trump is the first time that the objectively worst candidate won a party nomination -- but party affiliation is such a decisive factor in American elections that we could use a "circuit breaker" after that. I mean, that's why we have an Electoral College, and if Trump had made a run in Olden Times the Founders would have gutted him in the EC. Of course, they also would have preserved slavery, so maybe the Founders shouldn't be our benchmark.

                    What we really need is IRV. Two rounds is just IRV for stupid people.

                      Meh, we pander to our stupid voters, too. There is absolutely no reason we shouldn't follow the GOP's lead and just pander to the derps.

                        Well you and I might think so, but face facts. What do we really know about it? Most of the people behind the drive on this kind of messaging for Hils and now for other prominent D's, studied poly sci and have myriad alphabet degrees from Harvard and Yale - they are the best and brightest and the best educated we have to offer. Why in the world would we question them? They know about this stuff and they know what they're doing for chrissakkes!

                              According to all three former officials, Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn. The Obama administration fired Flynn in 2014 from his position as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, largely because of mismanagement and temperament issues.

                              Obama's warning pre-dated the concerns inside the government about Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador, one of the officials said. Obama passed along a general caution that he believed Flynn was not suitable for such a high level post, the official added.

                              Two administration officials said Obama also warned Trump to stay vigilant on North Korea.
