I wonder if his base of mouth breathers will be mad?

Yes, dey took der jerbs.

Univision took over The Onion earlier this year. Maybe it was the other way around.

The pivot is real. The Trump train is back on the rails and building up a head of steam.

Look out folks. The Donald is back in business.

If Trump flips on illegal immigrants, his supporters will lose it

He's not flipping. Just clarifying.

I'll have what she's having,,,,,

he flips on literally everything, no one will care or notice. His trumpets will just think he's lying to fool the man. He's still just as racist as they all are.

Trump could literally declare amnesty for all and they wouldn't care. It's 100% about the Cult of Personality and 0% about policy.

Case in point from cheifsplanet:

Bannon is smart enough to know Trump needs to actually pivot. It will be hilarious when Trump comes out for something like the NHS and his supporters enthusiastically slurp it up. YAY! Free healthcare for white people! Not like that dirty Obamacare that's only for minorities.

So Trump claimed to raise 80m in July. FEC filing shows 36m

Trump supporters: Legalizing immigrants is good policy. Also, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

Never mind the neo nazis behind that huge wall I built. I love me some black and brown people.

Bush was rightly slammed for taking so much vacation. Over 400 days compared to about 125 for Obama.

At any rate the golfing thing isn't really about vacation. He could just be golfing with friends in DC, and many on the right would still be incensed by seeing a clip on the news. I still think there is a racist element to it.

Not saying the left doesn't harp on stupid, superficial things also... but Bush was not a hard worker and criticism of his overly frequent vacations was justified.

Trump's July FEC filing is vague and dubious.

When this election is all said and done, Trump will have stolen more than he has spent.

Bush also prided himself on working a "normal day" from 9 to 6 or some ****. It's part of the reason everyone said Cheney was running the military (-industrial grift).

Was this the thread where there was talk about Katrina? Because Cheney was the first to spring to immediate action there too. He made sure the oil and gas industry got electrical power while residential customers waited.

This is why I'm very leery of the attitude of "Well Trump is just kind of a cheerleader buffoon, what damage can he really do?"

If Trump checks out and someone else is running the country? A ton. That other person has the advantage of not having to worry about their legacy. At least that fear, of going down in history as a terrible president, tends to keep presidents in check. Rasputins have no such concern.

Pence is a really scary guy. If left to run unchecked, he could do a tremendous amount of damage.

Yeah that would all suck. Still not as bad as Cheney. I feel bad for the gay community. But I also feel bad for hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis and the unspeakable horror that's happening to the Yazedis because of our bull**** war.

Of course that's all Obama's fault for pulling out too soon.

Pence seems like such a wishywash, I think someone else will step up. JFC someone like Bannon or Manafort. Putin will basically be running our country.

D- gimmick

I wouldn't say Brexit pricing was a miss. If I were a bookmaker and got a ton of people and large volumes of money to get on the wrong side at a really bad price, I would feel like I did a pretty good job. While the egg heads were telling me how badly I failed, I would be enjoying my new bank balance.

The betting exchanges volume on sports and political events is not as significant as the action being bet through the market maker model at most large bookmakers.

This happens literally everywhere because idling oil and gas facilities are major safety hazards.

That and oil and gas power electrical generation.

The failure in the Middle East in my opinion is the worst catastrophe in my lifetime. Sixteen years of inept foreign policy has led to the deaths tens of thousands of Muslims and the destabilization of the region. Russian cooperation with Iran directly threatens our Gulf Allies, minimizes our authority, and is causing heinous civilian suffering and death on a massive scale.

But hey, how many Mexicans are sneaking in to the country to cut grass at the country club or hang drywall is the driving issue this year. It's a joke.

I don't think Obama's Middle East policy has been that bad. The results have been bad but the assumption that there existed a course of action where the results wouldn't have been bad seems questionable. Even in the time of GWB, like the Iraq War was a disaster but it's not like the Middle East would be sweetness and light if it hadn't happened. It would be some other flavor of ****ed up.

If I were in charge of the US, all my Middle East thoughts would be focused on how to disengage from the region. I'd try to get energy independence locked down. I'd continue to support Israel, but only conditional on them stopping building new settlements in the occupied territories. I'd want precision-strike capability to take out threats to the US and other than that try to be pragmatic where possible (the Iran nuclear deal being a good example). Other than the ban on new settlements, it seems to me that pretty much describes Obama's approach. It's possible he has overused drones, but I don't have the intel he does, so it's hard to tell.
