He is now Edward Dickman.

Never has another board member EVER had a more appropriate mult for himself.



And in spite of certain propaganda that may be found on lesser sites, he is not currently, nor has he ever been banned from Chicago Fanatics.

You don't get spite votes... at least not in the numbers to make a difference. People vote for their candidate or they stay home. The American electorate is lazy. They aren't coming to the polls to "stop trump". It just doesn't happen.

Just a guess. He did not sound like a guy that expected to win or really wanted to.

That would suck.

Hillary has come out publically against the freedom of expression and for the regulation of speech because she thinks it would be good for us plus she want's to "regulate" the 2nd Amendment.

Sounds pretty Anti-American to me.

Hopefully she dies a horrible, painful death before she can judge shop and cut up the Bill of Rights for good.

Not a good time for America.

Back in the spring, I didn't think either hrc17@ or Drumpf would be their party's standard-bearer come November. I can still see Hillary bowing out--what Assange is saying matches up with what FBI Director James Comey cagily noted was the real target of their on-going investigation.

Trump drop-out? Why? Cuz Khantroversey? makes zero sense. His voters are eating that shit up like Patriot fans reading reports on cold-weather impacting PSI in leather inflatables.


The full weight of the Republican Party is about to come down on him. I think a number of people associated with his campaign are going to start bowing out. Fundraising will start drying up. He is not going to fund his own campaign. The media is going to now turn on him. No more anytime anyday access. In essence his shit for the first time stinks.

Unlike Trump they are career politicians. They have to think about their political futures. He is toxic for anyone associated with him at this point. Yes he has diehard voters but so does anyone else that has ever run for President. He really isn't running a Presidential campaign anyway. Do you really think that he has an organization?
He has spent 5 days and counting on a guy that was a virtual unknown this time last week.
This is the big leagues now and while everyone else is taking chartered flights he is still being transported via Trailway Bus Trips.



A little prophecy really does go a long way.

I look forward to hearing tomorrow that he really didn't mean that.

Took a day longer than I thought it would but...

"Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?"

Yesterday he was asked multiple times if he was being sarcastic and he said he wasn't.

This guy... :lol:

Last 2/most recent national polls over on RCP have hrc17@ down to +3 and, today, one of the more comprehensive polls has Hillary in a statistical dead-heat with Donny T at +1. Considering that based on the primaries, if the polls are off, they are off against Hillary and in favor of Trump, weird time for Trump to drop out.

Well we don't vote as a nation for President. So there's that.

True, and we don't elect them in August either. But as a barometer of a particular candidate's current status in the campaign--polls at least let you know how a candidate's doing today compared to yesterday, a week ago, etc--according to that particular poll.

Trump's coming off of his "worst week ever" and still erased hrc17@'s DNC bounce. Hillary hasn't had the best couple weeks; but going by media coverage, you'd expect Hillary to be holding double digit leads in the polls.

No he didn't. You can do better than that. Those particular polls haven't changed.

The LA Times/USC poll had Trump up by 6 points 2 weeks ago (after the DNC). Now Clinton is up 1.

The Rasmussen poll had Trump down 4 last week. Now Trump is down 3.

Hillary wins unless there is an indictment. Crazy to say that about a Presidential candidate. The RNC probably has conducted enough internal polling to know that Trump is cooked. This isn't media spin. Probably a few outlier polls but he is done. Wasn't sure that he couldn't win before but I'm sure now.

LTG, I am waiting until after the debates to make a final call. Yeah it looks bleak, and Trump shouldn't be elected, but anything can happen. The electorate is really pissed, and neither candidate inspires anyone.

I will agree about the lack of inspiration for Hillary but I think that has more to with the fact that she is time worn and perceived to be inevitable. There was more of it in 08. Much more excitement. It would be difficult for anyone that has been on a national stage for as long as she has to generate excitement.

But I think her base of support is much stronger than what the correlating lack of excitement would seem to suggest. Her turnout at election time is going to be immense and comparable to greatest levels in history.

Of the top 3 finalist she really has received the least amount of coverage. She brings this on herself because of her inaccessibility. Her campaign will pick up steam in October and she is going to run away with this one.

I originally was leery of Trump vs Hillary in a debate but not now. There has been such a laser like focus on his idiotic comments that people won't gloss over them anymore. He is incapable of beating her on policy and the catchy one liners aren't flying anymore. He has to provide substance and he simply isn't able to do it.

He is the stand up comedian guy whose jokes stopped being funny. People are throwing tomatoes at him now.

its all really good sales jargon. masterful sales jargon. however, after dealing with sales people you have to go home and regroup because sales people are relentless and take their toll on your psyche.

we haven't gotten a furlough and now people are breaking.

LA Times had the same poll results last week. Trump's support didn't increase in the Rasmussen poll. Every other poll had her support increasing. More importantly she's leading in the battleground states.
