Everyone could come togeather and say "hey those days were really fucking good right lets get more of that yeah?" But instead theres nothing like that and we get this shitty campaign that no one has anything positive to say about hillary other then "not drumpf" Its because Trump doesn't talk about policy beyond "I will break bad deals and make better deals. I will make all the deals and they will be great. The jobs are coming back." Which is cool if you don't think about it for more than a minute. | ||

But Hillary's campaign has to be astronomically more mismanaged if she actually manages to lose this election, given how much of an advantage she started with. | ||

Unfortunately (depends how you look at it), all that the Democrats have going for them is the never Trump, and I truly believe that once more people get some more exposure to him in debates and just general care... They'll be like hey, this isn't the monster hitler that wants nobody but the 1% and white men to have rights, and they'll jump on board. I think the more the DNC tries to vilify him, the better it will play for Trump, because while he has so undesirable traits, he's so god damn far from the current description that they are trying to make of him. | ||

This is a solid list and Trump and the RNC support none of those. | ||

He trolled so hard that they just couldn't keep up with him or maintain their balance and message. They were gotten to so hard and it showed, particularly guys like Jeb Bush. He's going to do the same to Hillary, it is up to her to keep her cool because if she doesn't... her main advantage over him is she is supposed to be the mature and professional adult. She loses that perception and she's in big trouble. Trump didn't get a substantial poll bounce from any of the debates as far as I know, so I don't know why you think he destroyed them (bar silly online polls about who won). Most of them consisted of people "foot-in-mouthing" their way out of the election. I guess I just feel like the debates were always about "who lost" rather than "who won." I don't think he did much trolling of other candidates either. He was generally pretty subdued during them actually, no huge slam dunk sound bites came out of him-those came from Christie if they came at all. As you say later, the biggest pitfall will definitely be if the moderators take sides (like they clearly were in some of the MSNBC debates) which allows Trump to monopolize bonus time and force one of the few messages he can talk at length about without struggling.

That fell by the wayside when you let the Clinton hatred fester in your campaign and insular communities despite saying otherwise in the debates. | ||

Also, I'm pretty sure that Tim Kaine is on the side of "cigarettes can kill you and Disney probably isn't a liberal feminist propaganda machine". That's a +1 too imo. | ||

More than a few of those extend beyond just Trump but to the Republican agenda at large. Saying he'll tear all of it down is a gross exaggeration, but basically any Republican government would do more harm than good to the "progressive movement" given the state of the party. | ||

I think a lot of TLers are split on EPA and the environment. I think that the status quo, or a little bit less environment protection than currently is ideal (for me). I don't expect Trump to tear down all environmental policy, and will repeal a couple acts, leave and be less eager to join some international conventions like Kyoto or Paris, etc. | ||

They actively campaign against them, and they regularly threaten to remove them (or try to). It's not fearmongering; it's completely appropriate fear. | ||
