2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJoy Reid on now...I think for two hours. she said something like that, IIRC,
while I was lying, half asleep, this morning
speaking of lying, Gloria Allred is daring trump to sue his accusers, predicting what would happen during discovery, including a load of heretofore unannounced victims
bring it AWN!

(28,795 posts)one score and no years ago she met him at a golf tournament
let's see.....when did he get married?
he grabbed her and another woman in front of a body guard, kissing them against their will, then asking them a bunch of questions
they left, and somebody called her, inviting her up
she said no. he called her himself, and she refused. he asked her how much
more later.....

(1,372 posts)He won't for exactly that reason Allred mentioned--it'd open up discovery, and the non disclosure agreements that the people around Trump have signed would no longer hold.
Having said that, please, please sue Donald. Go for it.

or, more likely...frequent guest/buffoon steve corales, or however you spell his name, who never fails to embarrass himself. I don't loathe him like the other surrgs, because he's not so personally repugnant, as almost every other cretinous spokester is

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)three others are discussing it now, basically saying he's burnt toast
not one supporter has dared to show up, I guess
dunno if she tried to get anybody, or if they've all thrown their hands up in the air
the one clear republican is saying his supporters are wondering if, since his denials were so strong, WHY is he not already suing them, as he promised?

EJ Dionne is taking him on about trump's so called economic populism
http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2016/09/who_is_peter_na.html
Tyler Cowen linked to a paper by Peter Navarro, which discusses Trump's economic plan. To put it simply, it's a complete mess. Here are just a few examples:
Under WTO rules, any foreign company that manufactures domestically and exports goods to America (or elsewhere) receives a rebate on the VAT it has paid. This turns the VAT into an implicit export subsidy.
At the same time, the VAT is imposed on all goods that are imported and consumed domestically so that a product exported by the US to a VAT country is subject to the VAT. This turns the VAT into an implicit tariff on US exporters over and above the US corporate income taxes they must pay.
Thus, under the WTO system, American corporations suffer a "triple whammy": foreign exports into the US market get VAT relief, US exports into foreign markets must pay the VAT, and US exporters get no relief on any US income taxes paid.
The practical effect of the WTO's unequal treatment of America's income tax system is to give our major trading partners a 15% to 25% unfair tax advantage in international transactions.
This is a very basic error. International economists almost universally agree that a VAT is neutral with respect to trade. An across the board 10% import tax, combined with a 10% export subsidy, offset each other, leaving no net impact on trade. Instead they convert the tax from a production tax to a consumption tax. But it's a consumption tax that applies equally to all goods, whether made domestically, or imported. This is not even a tiny bit controversial.
too bad they didn't prepare for Navarro's gishgalloping in advance, simply by reading the above link
his barrage of bogus assertions, like REDUCING the trade deficit with some sort of pie in the sky hocus pocus, resulting in INSTANT percentage points in GDP gain, were laughable. this guy is an obnoxious, boiler plate supply sider

(28,795 posts)''being run by a bunch of high school boys...delinquents"
the ONE place he doesn't need to do a show like this is that spot in PA, because of the ridicule it's likely to engender
now, on to the Catholic dinner....the high school boys have no idea what the comportment should be at a venue like this....it was a high school wise guy speech
hahahaaa...."no doubt which side trump would have been on in the civil war"

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)the last call on the phone, she said, came from either trump or somebody else, offering her the $10K
"the story is totally false"....Mr. Trump does not know this person, has never met her!"
just about an exact quote, but it'll be out there soon; I imagine it already is
he's accusing this of coming from the Clinton campaign
problem is, she's got at least one witness. will she come forth?
how many more?
