Every man or woman I've known who was in debate functions differently from the rest of us. Some of these people are my friends.

Narrator (sounding sad, but sympathetic): We understand you're frustrated with the politicians in Washington DC.

(Photos of angry voters intercut with smug politicians)

Narrator: You don't trust them. You think they're bought and sold like so many prize hogs. And you think Donald Trump is different.

(Ominous music. Unflattering photos of Trump.)

Narrator (voice acquires a harder edge): But you're wrong. He's a creepy, lying piece of shit like all the rest of them and he's playing you for chumps.

(remainder of political ad writes itself...)

i think rubio's numbers could only improve by calling trump a "creepy, lying piece of shit"

Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump

Thanks, waterface. I hope this 'wetting pants' taunt is noticed by the entire us electorate. And it escalates.

That's ridiculous of Christie. Is he that shortsighted? I guess he's getting out of politics.

christies got nowhere to go in politics, hes wildly unpopular in his state and has legal issues, hoping for an appointment in the trump regime is abt as good as it gets for him

lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 18:02 (eight years ago) link

yeah this seems like a pretty rational decision on his part

Christie was pretty smart, leaving on a high note like he did

agree with this

spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 18:08 (eight years ago) link

part of the Trump phenomenon is that you can't touch him without becoming defiled yourself

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 26 February 2016 18:10 (eight years ago) link

I don't know Christie's situation that well--I guess you're right, it's not like there's anything left for him. This does remind me in a way of how some Republican strategists and such tried to latch on with Perot in '92. (Ed Rollins in particular comes to mind.) I don't know if they all found they way back.

reading this made me less confident that clinton would whup trump

http://static.currentaffairs.org/2016/02/unless-the-democrats-nominate-sanders-a-trump-nomination-means-a-trump-presidency

Trump will capitalize on his reputation as a truth-teller, and be vicious about both Clinton’s sudden changes of position (e.g. the switch on gay marriage, plus the affected economic populism of her run against Sanders) and her perceived dishonesty. One can already imagine the monologue:

“She lies so much. Everything she says is a lie. I’ve never seen someone who lies so much in my life. Let me tell you three lies she’s told. She made up a story about how she was ducking sniper fire! There was no sniper fire. She made it up! How do you forget a thing like that? She said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the guy who climbed Mount Everest. He hadn’t even climbed it when she was born! Total lie! She lied about the emails, of course, as we all know, and is probably going to be indicted. You know she said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! It was a lie! Thousands of American soldiers are dead because of her. Not only does she lie, her lies kill people. That’s four lies, I said I’d give you three. You can’t even count them. You want to go on PolitiFact, see how many lies she has? It takes you an hour to read them all! In fact, they ask her, she doesn’t even say she hasn’t lied. They asked her straight up, she says she usually tries to tell the truth! Ooooh, she tries! Come on! This is a person, every single word out of her mouth is a lie. Nobody trusts her. Check the polls, nobody trusts her. Yuge liar.”

Where does she even begin to respond to this? Some of it’s true, some of it isn’t, but the more she tries to defensively parse it (“There’s been no suggestion I’m going to be indicted! And I didn’t say I usually tried to tell the truth, I said I always tried and usually succeeded”) the deeper she sinks into the hole.

Trump will bob, weave, jab, and hook. He won’t let up. And because Clinton actually has lied, and actually did vote for the Iraq War, and actually is hyper-cosy with Wall Street, and actually does change her positions based on expediency, all she can do is issue further implausible denials, which will further embolden Trump. Nor does she have a single offensive weapon at her disposal, since every legitimate criticism of Trump’s background (inconsistent political positions, shady financial dealings, pattern of deception) is equally applicable to Clinton, and he knows how to make such things slide off him, whereas she does not.
