Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton delivers a speech outlining her foreign policy positions and how they differ from presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton brought her A game for this speech, and pulled absolutely no punches when it came to Donald Trump. She thrashed him like an orange-headed stepchild. Worth watching all the way through.
Awesome. I missed the speech live and was about to post downstairs asking for a link. Thanks Charles!
His twitter silence is astounding. She really ripped him a new one and he can’t refute what she said.
If she and her surrogates can keep that level of intensity throughout the campaign, Trump is going to suffer a nervous breakdown.
Bring it, I say.

6/02/2016 2:52:27 pm PDTHillary at the end of her final speech before election night ought to hold up her hand, and ask for quiet. Then she should say “Here, Donald. You can have these back”….. and throw two orange ping pong balls on the stage, and as they bounce across the stage, rip the mic off the podium, and drop it.
Quoted to make it happen.
If only.

With all the crap he has spewed over the last year, she will have plenty to rake him over the coals with. Not to mention the tRump U trials in NY and CA.
As I said downstairs, Trump will have an epic meltdown at his rally in Redding tomorrow.
And there is nothing the RNC can do to stop it.
The only thing that would have made this truly spectacular if Clinton had done the speech in the lyrical beats of Lin-Manuel Miranda. Tis a shame that she only beat Trump to a pulp with his own words.
.@HillaryClinton destroyed one of @realDonaldTrump’s horcruxes today, that’s why he’s not tweeting. Dude is shook.

Trump is turning into Slow Donnie from Just Shoot Me. Except the change is involuntary.
Really, this speech today does two things. The first is that it gives folks a preview of the months long castration of Donald Trump by Hillary and the DNC. Every stupid utterance that went by without the GOP speaking up is now going to come back to haunt it.
But the second thing was that it slammed the door squarely in Bernie’s face. She could not have signaled in a more graphic way just how little regard she has for the “threat” of Bernie, either in California or at the convention. After today, the only reason the media will continue to entertain the idea that he could still “win” is because they don’t want to let go of the horse race narrative.

Worse than that for Sanders, I think. It hands them a perfectly framed yuuuuuuger, classier horse race narrative. Republican viewers mostly weren’t watching the last few rounds of Sanders-Clinton, I don’t think. I noticed a marked change in horse-flogging on the Democratic side as soon as Trump locked up the GOP nomination, even though there was no real material change in Sanders’ chances.
The media ought to have been as excited as anyone to move onto the general.

After today’s speech I think the media is going to start ignoring BS. They can do the math as well as we can. Hillary has locked in the Democratic nomination and is now going to be gunning for tRump from here on out. BS is just a footnote from this point on. The MSM will just switch the horse race narrative ti Hillary and tRump.
Twitter should also ban Trump. He’s spouted enough hate speech.

Good chance he is going to try to go full on attack on her and he will just show he is an angry punk. He really lacks personal moderation so he will go overboard. It is what he does. Hopefully he blows it big time and this starts a tumble in the poll numbers.
Should the poll numbers go down then he will continue to overreact and it will all make him unlikable more and more and poll numbers will go down…down…down.
Should that happen…the GOP convention could be very interesting.
I saw earlier some of the LGFers were talking about him resigning. If his number go down enough there is a chance he will try something like that, but the party will do everything they can to keep him going. A candidate tossing in the towel could really damage the entire GOP more than it is damaged right now.

Reality show performers are not actors by definition. Non scripted. They (at hypothetical best) just happen to be on camera by way of cinema verite or documentary style. Acting is not allowed. (Not that SAG has had too much success ending reality shows that cross the line.)
It occurs to me that, given Trump’s sole raison d’etre as a candidate for President is dominance politics, this very public pantsing followed by his twitter silence is pretty damn significant. This is a guy who says, “I had no choice but to respond”, and he hasn’t.
He’s now reduced to declaring he has the opposite of thin skin. Weak. And ‘weak’ is something Trump CANNOT survive, especially at the hands of a woman. That moment of cold contempt from Carly early on hurt him, but he had lots of other male punching bags to unload on and dominate, so the effect was minimized. Let this kind of thing keep up, and he’ll be struggling badly.
I mean, if Trump can’t dominate, what’s the point of him? He has nothing else.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump deletes tweet after objection from flight simulator enthusiast https://t.co/y9qCjSZRQn pic.twitter.com/75zYNRyWfD
— The Verge (@verge) June 2, 2016
Earlier today, Donald Trump tweeted a screenshot from a flight simulator rendering of Redding Airport in California, apparently believing it was a freely available photograph of the airport itself. Now, the person who first took that screenshot has asked Trump to take the tweet down, claiming the Trump campaign has effectively stolen his property.
“I never gave them permission to use it,” said Jeroen Doorman, who first posted the image as a thumbnail for a Flight Simulator X video on YouTube, the apparent source for Trump’s tweet. “I’m not a big fan of any political game of any country and since he has a big pile of money he should be able to find other things to use that are not property of someone else.” Doorman says he emailed Hope Hicks at the Trump campaign after the tweet went up. The tweet was removed shortly after.

Do you also remember that Reagan was actually the governor of a state for 8 years? And that he treated people with a level of dignity and respect that Trump is not capable of?
Reagan didn’t simply spew bile, hate and insults, followed by the same 5 slogans over and over. In fact, he never did things like that. He had the temperament of an adult human, not a fucking thin skinned spoiled child. And he actually was somewhat informed about pesky things like issues. Finally, Reagan believed in facts (at least when he wasn’t astrologizing). Trump creates his own “facts” on a daily basis.

Heh, I have Tweety Matthews yakking in the background while I work on a graphic job.
He just listed a bunch of Republicans that will be begging out of going to the RNC Convention.
Ohio Senator Rob Portman and Ohio Governor John Kasich are not going. Cleveland is only 140 miles (a little over two hours) north of Columbus. Too far for Johnny. And Portman seems to have found something to do in Washington.
Also HP, Microsoft and Coca Cola are staying away as endorsers and advertisers.

Trump in 1994: ‘Putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing’
“I have days where I think it’s great. And I have days where, if I come home — and I don’t want to sound too much like a chauvinist — but when I come home and dinner’s not ready, I go through the roof,” he said.
Didn’t he have a cook?
Why I love Facebook. Earlier today. Friend posts bogus Obama stats from non existent site. Pro Trump shit site. I say something, because gee, that looks legit. Try to say maybe you should like uh, try and find the site you say is telling you this? It does not exist. Please. Do not buy a used car without taking someone with you with a working brain. Yeah. No response. Then all through the day, since I posted on it, responses come in. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t even follow this guy, although I do/have to/do business with him. I just look in now and then….My mistake. So this gem just came across…..In all it’s simplicity….Quote….”and this is just the surface. our grand kids will be nuked or fight and huge foreign war, most will have had their homes taken away, with low income, educated jobs. Foreign countries will own even more of our country. With his ego and his followers our country is bordering on chaos. As far as our border, this Mexican invasion currently going on will have Latinos demanding the country’s language be Spanish and laws favoring illegals. And there is so much more.”
Yeah. So much more. Wonder who he’s voting for? Schmucks.

I used to follow her. She’s another rabid GOPer who hates trump.
Interesting.
Here’s hoping Speaker Ryan becomes ex-Speaker Ryan….
AS DONALD Trump was building a campaign on lies, bigotry, insults, fearmongering and unreason, a few Republican leaders of apparent principle offered some resistance. Foremost among them was House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.). In March, Mr. Ryan insisted that “all of us as leaders can hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and decency” and that “we shouldn’t accept ugliness as the norm.”
On Thursday Mr. Ryan capitulated to ugliness. It was a sad day for the speaker, for his party and for all Americans who hoped that some Republican leaders would have the fortitude to put principle over partisanship, job security or the forlorn fantasy that Mr. Trump will advance a traditional GOP agenda.
Explaining his belated endorsement of Mr. Trump in a home-state newspaper, the speaker said that conversations with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee have reassured him. Mr. Trump will help turn House GOP ideas into law, Mr. Ryan said, in a way that a President Hillary Clinton would not.

I think her unwillingness to go after Sanders might have been interpreted by some as wishy-washy weakness (which isn’t a totally unreasonable read TBH). You don’t inspire new supporters by merely not attacking their current favorite.
The long game was probably the right call, but it made the short- and medium-term look a little scary.

Very valid point, and rather unfortunate for the GOP. Letting Limbaugh and Savage in particular be the opinion leaders of the party isn’t the brightest idea out there. At least we might not have to deal with Limbaugh much longer, given his contract woes.

Agreed! Just the way I was impatient for the Malheur miscreants to be rounded up, I was perhaps overly eager for Hillary to pounce. Patience is a virtue, I guess.
By waiting to attack Trump, Hillary did not do the dirty work for the GOP in their nomination process and now they have an awful candidate. Added bonus: Hillary can help down ticket races by reminding the voters of how many (and which) GOP congress-critters pledged support to Trump clearly putting party interests before national security.
