Support NeoGAF

[Frustrated_me]

Says who?

 

[Byakuya769]

Trump caucus supporters =/= Republican voters

You're wasting your time. Too many people refuse to understand this fundamental difference.

 

[nomis]

Well, yes, it is over.

538 now has there being a higher chance of a Clinton landslide than a Trump electoral college victory

 

[chadskin]

... but who is it and how are they trustworthy with $5 million dollars.

Do you not trust Aaron Holman. That's a very trustworthy name.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Yup he has no chance of victory, this scandal is unprecedented in modern presidential politics, and there is no chance Trump does well at the debate tonight. Republicans behind the scenes almost to a man say this is over, and all Democrats too. The polls suggest it is over, and real life suggests it is over.

It is over. Over. There's really no argument otherwise now. I mean even before this event it was pretty much over. Now it's like we can sit and laugh about how we all thought this man was some sort of threat rather than a ridiculous manchild who would implode during the election.

Vote though.

I completely agree with this. But I'm watching CNN now for the first time in years, how are some of these anchors not understanding that it's over? "It's not over, look, Hillary raped a billion people, Trump is the president the American people want."

Like, how are CNN employees saying this shit? How is this acceptable, to support this man? People should be fired for defending this shit, that's the true political correctness crime going on right now.

haha. "Were you there?"

That's this job? Unless you mean the hosts?

Pre-debate

 

[Nokagi]

It ain't over until it's over. I'm afraid people are going to start feeling just a bit too comfortable that she's a shoe-in so they don't bother voting or vote for someone like Gary Johnson only wake up the next morning to find Donald Trump the new President. You can bet your ass that Trump's people will show up to vote. Best make sure you and yours do as well.

It's in CNN's interest for this to not be over until election day. They are going to push that angle.

Thank you for typing this for me.

I'm not sure, I've seen like 20 different people on there today. I'm not familiar with news TV at all, I read all of my news.

My mistake if that's their job, but damn, watching these people talk legit pisses me off.

 

[Wallach]

Yep. I mean these dudes have Corey Lewandowski on their panel.

 

[rjinaz]

Probably busy voting?

Ok but your premise doesn't make much sense unless you are seeing people saying they aren't going to vote here.

You can see an obvious outcome and call it what it is, and still vote.

The "shhh" approach would mean people would need to either stop talking about polling and trends or just ignore them completely.

And this before the leaked video has any effect on the polls.

The only one taken partially after the video was released is a YouGov national with clinton +6, up from previous week's YouGov national of clinton +3 .

Less people are going to show up for Trump that were going to 3 days ago (and even that was not going to be enough to win). Even if every crazed Trump supporter shows up to vote, he will not win. The "complacency" concern loses some of it's luster when you have one candidate talking about "Grabbing pussies" a month out from election day. Relax.

 

[JustenP88]

How long does it take to vote? I mean, I know we're talking about Trump supporters, but they could probably still find some time to check out NeoGAF.

CNN has their agenda; viewer count. They play both sides as long as their audience numbers are high.

Point well taken.

"Vote" - Obama.

I'll relax once the election is actually over.

Really makes me wonder how this whole thing has been for ratings, like raw numbers. Not just CNN but pretty much every television station.

tremendous, believe me.

I would assume record ratings as an average. What a cluster fuck it's been.

Hey, look. I get your point, I do. Complacency is not what we need. But, the enthusiasts on GAF are going to vote, you can count on it. Droves I tell you. Droves.

suit yourself.

 

[rjinaz]

suit yourself.

Yeah, after this weekend I'm done worrying about Donald J Trump. Spent enough time with my thoughts on that man. I'm going forward knowing that this is finished until I see otherwise.

 

[pigeon]

I wonder how the banned Trump supporters are doing reading these threads.

They probably don't have much time to go back to boards they were banned from. The KGB keeps pretty strict quotas, after all.

Holy shit? Footage of Trump saying the N word? Mark Cuban really needs to invest!

Of course trump will sue but he could easily lose that in a day if Trump were elected/the economy tanked.

Civic duty!

SMDH

That was serious? Please tell me it wasn't?

 

[StopMakingSense]

Check MATE!

 

[chadskin]

lmao

"Well actually, let me tell you about your own pussy"

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Is there a thread dedicated to Wikileaks' publication of Hillary's speech transcripts? From what I've read, they seem to be more significant than this Trump story in the sense that they could have had a greater impact on the Dem primaries than the GOP one.

Highly ignored. The gotchas were short of Fan4stic..

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I didn't think the "but he said that when he was a democrat" defense would ever be topped, and yet here I am.

 

[rjinaz]

Wait, wouldn't that mean what Donald Trump said he does, is actually worse?!

Why am I entertaining stupid? Oh yeah, the rum.

Cuban seems to have chummy business relationships with the people who are holding the tape back (if its even legit). So I doubt we can rely on him. Mavs suk.

 

[Amir0x]

What's this about?

People who work on Apprentice says there are worse videos, particularly one where he uses the n-word. Burnett threatened anyone who works on the show with legal action if they leak it, because he supports Trump. There is a 5 million leak fee for it. The gofundme is an attempt to raise awareness about this tape (since it is unlikely to raise that much, obviously), and get media attention and a feeding frenzy around this tape. Pressure Burnett and whatnot.

 

[chadskin]

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...ootage_of_donald_trump_saying_the_n_word.html

It's not a 'serious' Gofundme campaign, though, or at least I wouldn't donate to it.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why didn't anyone tell Todd Akin that he could mount a comeback by delivering a contrite apology? He could be a Senator right now.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

Good one.

My point is that this isn't something that should be given a "it's over" hit and run. This is the presidential election, it's important, not sure if sending out that message is helpful just as voting has started. People may think, ahh fuck it, it's over anyways, why vote.

It ain't over until it's over. I'm afraid people are going to start feeling just a bit too comfortable that she's a shoe-in so they don't bother voting or vote for someone like Gary Johnson only wake up the next morning to find Donald Trump the new President. You can bet your ass that Trump's people will show up to vote. Best make sure you and yours do as well.

All evidence is to the contrary of what you're saying here though. Winners love turning out, and losers hate it. Imagine a football game between Alabama and Appalachian State; do you think the Bama fans are more likely to show up (where they'll have fun watching a victory) or do you think the App State fans are more likely to show (and be miserable for 3 hours)?

It's pretty clear (and plays out in the past). If the polling shows a bad loss, then the winner usually overperforms (since the losers were discouraged). This is all before we count the Republicans who just won't vote this year (or vote 3rd party, which is the same thing).

Watch the Apprentice video be like the Michelle Obama "Whitey" video, nonexistent.

Possibly. Even if it exists, I don't know if anyone that has access to it will want to leak it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

What is it with internet dipshits and their obsession with semantics?

Sunlight afterall, is said to be the best disinfectant.

We are a group of old college friends who are fed up with what is going on. If someone comes forward, we will ensure that all donated funds go directly to mitigate any legal costs associated with their whistleblowing.

Excuse me while I make this jerking motion.
