The classic youtube videos as response. Of course, there are eye witnesses that said she was treated roughly, but forget those people. What matters is the youtube videos and discrediting the woman, because that is how this process works. First step, make the woman a liar.

No, I'm saying this because I've seen the cellphone video where it's a lot less than this video of locomotion. That is all. I don't readily have it on hand sadly but it should appear sooner or later. It gives a much clearer picture of what went on.

I am not a victim blamer. I am saying in this case, given the evidence I have seen I highly doubt she is a victim.

I think there's another video showing it as well, but skip to 42ish here. You can clearly see the movement is not a wrenching, it's not forceful, it's almost just briskly walking past while gently pulling her aside.


Are you saying in that movement he was in such a rage that he SQUEEZED so hard that she bruised? This particular woman has no credibility and comes off as a complete liar in this case.

Do you think he moved in slow motion in real life too or do you think video editing is some sort of pagan magic?

You have much clearer video here than the CNN one. There's another instance of Michelle lying in the past blatantly that's pretty telling but I don't have it in my bookmarks sadly.

Links directly to the Donald Trump sub-reddit for further evidence. Nice is the high level PI work I expected. Will include more youtube videos from private accounts so they are super creditable. Because no one has ever altered videos on youtube ever before.

In cases like this, where the physical part of it seems pretty low key, the cover up is often worse than the crime. All the blatantly false statements from Corey and Trump, which continue even post-video, say just as much, if not more, than the action.

Yes, citing a Reddit thread that doesn't even correctly identify the substantive charge is quite the persuasive tactic.

I mean even if she is lying, if Donald Trump is allowed to consistently lie and manipulate people to his advantage, I don't see a problem with other people lying against him or his campaign. Fighting fire with fire and all that.

Unless people actually think Trump doesn't consistently lie but that seems incredibly disconnected from reality. I thought people just liked that he was lying or thought he doing it to get points across or media coverage.

The only reason people are writing Sanders off is because of the order states vote in. The order maximized the lead Hillary could achieve and now it's only shrinking. He's only ~100 delegates behind where he needs to be now after he gained 70+ on Saturday.

Now we know he'll likely gain a handful of delegates if/when the votes in AZ are counted. As long as he avoids a blowout in NY they will both be short (unless he wins big in CA) on pledged delegates, but Bernie will have won 20+ of the last ~25 contests.

The question will be which nominee would result in less people supporting them. Clinton is lucky it's not Kasich getting the nomination, if it was, there'd be no question she shouldn't be the nominee.

As an aside #ToneDownForWhat has been pretty funny and so was this

No the reason why people are writing Sanders off is that he needs to win New York with at least a little margin and he's unfortunately not going to do that

LegalLord, feel free to ignore my posts if you're not interested in them

I generally do. Though when low quality articles (and/or articles that contradict the point you make, your other specialty) like that litter the thread, it gets pretty hard not to notice.

All that said, it is pretty clear that Hillary had it won after her huge wins in the South states.

1. The article that I linked was written by Obama's 2008 campaign manager, and he was sharing his views on what the rest of the campaign is likely to look like with regards to the states and delegates to be won and lost by the candidates. I introduced the article by saying his dispassionate analysis would probably be an interesting read for those still with doubts as to who will emerge victorious. Apparently, other posters than you did find it interesting. I'm not sure why you decided to bash me for posting it, but let me re-iterate that you can try a little bit harder and avoid reading my posts if they're of no interest to you.
2. Feel free to share examples of me posting articles contradicting the points I was making. You won't, of course. Apparently your intention was to take a cheap shot at me, so I hope you're satisfied with your performance -- it totally did not fall flat. Carry on

In other news, a piece about how a few conservative radio hosts are navigating through the Trump vs Cruz fight -- given how divisive the campaign has been, you can tell many are desperately trying to look like they're not taking sides:

Sean Hannity has not publicly staked out a side, and has said that both Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz are conservative choices. He tries to have both on his show as often as he can.

“Who am I to come in and tell them to vote for this person?” Mr. Hannity asked in an interview, referring to his audience. “I don’t think I serve them well that way.”

But he warned that any effort to deny Mr. Trump the nomination if he comes close to the 1,237 majority of delegates would be the downfall of the Republican Party.

“If they try to steal this nomination or disenfranchise the voters, it would be the end of the Republican Party. I guarantee you, it’s over,” he said.

“If it’s Trump” who is denied the nomination, “Trump supporters are walking. If it’s Cruz, Cruz supporters are walking. And they’re not coming back. And I’ll walk with them,” Mr. Hannity said.

Laura Ingraham, who also said she would not be endorsing a candidate, shared a similar point of view in an interview, calling the stop-Trump effort “a little juvenile.”

“There are a lot of purists out there who, if they don’t get everything checked off on their little bucket list,” then they say “take your pail and go home,” she said. “Come to the real world.”

Mr. Beck, however, sees it differently, calling Mr. Trump “a clown.”

Disagreement among conservative radio hosts is nothing new. But the searing divisions of this contest pose particular challenges to the hosts as they seek to hold on to their listeners — and address their grievances — in such a fractured climate.

Funny how oneofthem trusts Sanders more than Hillary. Just caught up, around page 75 he was saying that it would be ridiculous to assume that Hillary is going to do any of the things she says she'll do right now because she's obviously just lying to win the election. Contrast that with the fact that he thinks that Bernie is both sincere in his beliefs and capable of making them a reality.

No, the entire narrative would be different if instead of behind he was tied/ahead. But I do find comfort in that the same folks who think Bernie never had a real chance are a lot of the same people who wrote Trump off months ago.

Sanders had a very, very favorable start to his campaign with Iowa + New Hampshire already... he'd have had narrative for like a month at most if all his most favorable states voted in a row, then he'd be like a team that scored 2 touchdowns in the 1st quarter then got obliterated there on out.

The delegate gap is gonna go up along with the popular vote gap over the next couple of weeks. As I mentioned before, there is a slight chance Sanders ends up winning more contests in the end, but that's not a particularly meaningful stat to come ahead in. I also don't think it's logical to argue that candidates may not meet the bar which was set with superdelegates in mind without superdelegates.

Btw the popular vote gap is probably about 2.3M, WA only closed the margin by ~92,000 so I'm being fairly generous here.

Sanders wants the free media in NY. He's free to be salty in public about things or actually try to negotiate in good faith. I don't think it's a boon for him beyond the advertising bit though.

Insofar as I understand the democratic primaries, the one who gets a majority of the delegates, including superdelegates, wins. Clinton is currently on track to get both the popular majority and the majority of delegates.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that while Sanders definitely could win plenty more states, the likes of Wyoming, the Dakotas and Rhode Island are completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. What he needs to do is win big in NY, CA, PA and NJ (or at least in 3 out of 4). That just seems really unlikely.

We'll see about that.

This is exactly what I'm saying couldn't be said if states voted in a different order. Though since Bernie made it past her peak I think it only works out better for him from here.
