It's not gross, it's true. Accomplished? What has she done? Like when SNL zinged her last night on the "last 30 years debate question."

I don't think you understood that joke. The point of it was Trump keeps saying that stupid statement and then Hillary has an arsenal of responses ready to go because she's done so much.

 

I've been with her since the beginning and am proudly with Hillary today. Bring on election day.

What I'm saying is a.) if Trump gets in as late as possible he can possibly ride the "new guy" crusader thing all the way to the White House. He gave the media so much time to finally turn him into Cosby. b.) I disagree on Hillary. Yes the more people see they hate her, to an extent. My point is she has been around forever and we are used to seeing/hearing her. It's like the vase your are still using even though you should get a new one. You are used to it and even though it may now suck you are used to it and deal with it.

It really only took a weekend to turn Trump into Cosby, and he mostly did this himself. Because he believes no publicity is bad publicity he kept talking about it and it stayed in the media for another 2 weeks. Had he simply apologized and shut the f*** up (which he is psychologically incapable of doing), it would've blown over.

Regardless of actual election, Obama being gone is good for SNL. They had no idea what to do with his character.

 

Kate McKinnon and Baldwin have been among the best, but considering the materail not surprising.

I remember back in 2009 comedians were complaining that he's really had to mock. You take someone like Clinton or Bush and they are pretty easy to make fun of because you just exaggerate them, but Obama doesn't really have that many personality quirks besides saying "look" or "aaaaaand" a lot. And since he doesn't really talk the way the average black man does, you can't really do that either without sounding all kinds of racist.

Baldwin as Trump has been incredible. Like the best character work ever on SNL.

I find it shocking when Trump supporters say that he is "an outsider." Sure, he may be a DC outsider. But to say he isn't a lifelong politician is just ridiculous.

 

He sidles up to whomever he needs to support his interests.

He tries to use litigation to his benefit.

He backs out of deals when they don't work for him.

 

I mean, aren't these all things we don't like about "insiders?"

Kellyanne Conway actually admitted that Trump is down in the polls. I feel like she's probably blinking in morse code "please hire me when this is over."

 

To use a poker analogy, Trump's trying to win the World Series of Poker with a green 3 from Uno, a 6 of spades, a Community Chest card from Monopoly, a Jack of Diamonds, and the Rules Card for Pinochle from the Bicycle card decks.

I will say it today, despite all of the fear mongering about this election from the left, the final results will look like 1984 for Hillary.

I don't think that's really possible anymore, I think she'll do roughly what Obama did - comfortable margin in electoral votes, about 330, plus or minus a couple bonus states, winning AZ or GA here, losing Iowa there.

I'd bet she outdoes that pretty convincingly.

The interesting thing about that is both candidates are trending down, Drumpf just more convincingly. I wonder if those are moving to undecided or 3rd party.

 

I only added that graph because that Infowar article mentions how this will be just like Brexit again and as you can see, it's not really comparable.

I once went to Orange County and I was even in Irvine, but couldn't get a hold of Jason. He sucks and is a bad admin

Now I am even sadder that you never reached out to me when you were in my town.

One can only hope she does. Anything less than a full fledged beat down does nothing but give the disgusting movement some form of traction (then again, its all rigged anyway).
