Trump Robo-calls blanking the South now..I have gotten 3 in less than 24 hours.

[dixiegrrrrl]

He is appearing in Pensacola, it seems, and a woman who says she is his daughter is blathering about it in a very cheerleader voice.

[Buzz Clik]

1. Holy crap. Clearly, his polls are showing that he is in trouble in the South.

If he is uncertain of his situation in the South, ... Poor fool.

[WeavingWoman]

2. Ugh!

I'm in South Carolina & I'm just waiting for the first one...

[Maru Kitteh]

17. In a couple months, it will end, and you won't hear from that loser again for a LONG time.

And - welcome to DU!

[LanternWaste]

3. this is the first time since the eighties I've seen a campaign ad for a Dem in DFW

On the other hand, this is the first time since the eighties I've seen a campaign ad for a Dem nominee to the Presidency in DFW (north central Texas) since the mid or late eighties. I stayed in this past weekend, and the afternoons were filled with her "Just One Wrong Move" campaign ad among three or four different stations. And no Trump commercials at all here.

(Caveat: I don't have cable, only network TV so that may make a pretty big difference in what I see)

I'm really beginning to wonder if Texas might actually be in play this cycle. If the DNC is investing money here, and Trump's buffoonish campaign keeps consistently tripping up, who knows?!

13. The 'Dallas Morning News' Has Endorsed Hillary Clinton for President

It's the first time the newspaper has supported a Democratic candidate since before World War II.

"Résumé vs. résumé, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest," the editorial board writes, calling Trump's values "hostile to conservatism."


"He plays on fear—exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism, and misogyny—to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best," the op-ed continues. "His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."

14. That's been the big water cooler discussion here lately.

That's been the big water cooler discussion here lately. Mon-Wed all three of the major network's local affiliates either lead with that endorsement, or had it in the number two or three spot.

Two years ago, Wendy Davis woke up many TX Democrats from our long, lethargic slumber, and I think it may be beginning to pay off.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. My Texas friends are holdig their breath, but smiling, at the implications.

I do pray that Ala. sees the light before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

4. Never ever underestimate Trump, you do so at your own peril

Its like turning your back on a coiled rattlesnake.

Who would have believed we would see this,

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html

Less than 4 points of separation a few weeks ago. We need to get the word out and not get complacent.

[malaise]

5. Watch TLC and see the crazy ass ads selling him like some

product on late night promo - Don the Con must not be denied the presidency.

[piechartking]

6. Wait. You mean it the other way, right?

And have you ever called that 1-800 Number? it's hilarious!

[malaise]

7. Tell me more

and no I have not called the number

[piechartking]

8. Oh I see what your'e saying - the Commercial says Don should not be denied the Prez, right?

The 1800 number is like some robocall, begging for $$$. The fact that they styled it like some low-budget infomercial kind of lets you know the age cohort and demographic they are aiming for. Caucasian, seniors, etc - in general.

[malaise]

9. Yes precisely - and they're aiming for the assholes who love the Duggars and Toddlers and Tiaras

IOW - real sickos. They're looking for a million suckers.

[MiniMe]

11. I live just north of DC and the TV ads are driving me crazy now

They think that Virginia is still in play. Of course, me next door neighbor just got a Trump/Pence yard sign.

[malaise]

15. Hehehehehhe

How can anyone buy into this Con's crap?

[packman]

10. I got a call last night - Trump disguised opinion poll

Last edited Fri Sep 9, 2016, 10:42 PM - Edit history (1)

a multitude of questions, but really Trump oriented "Would you vote for someone with extensive business background or someone who has no background in the private sector" . Another - "Does someone not disclosing their e-mails influence your vote?" - "Do you favor America becoming stronger again?" "Do you believe someone who makes a large speaking fee can be influenced by the money they receive for that speech"

I stuck with it and made it clear who I was voting for. But, this is really the first time I got exposed to such a "survey" and appreciate how it can sway someone.

[meow2u3]

19. A Trumpanzee tried to push poll you

I propose we fight fire with fire and come up with push polls of our own.

Here are some of my ideas:

"Would you vote for someone who's standing trial for raping a 13-year-old girl--who had witnesses?"
"Does someone bribing two state attorneys general influence your vote"?
"Do you believe someone who stiffs his campaign workers and forces them to sign a non-disparagement agreement is trustworthy enough to manage our tax money?"
"Would you trust someone who praises a foreign dictator while disrespecting the President of the United States to protect and defend the Constitution?"

12. We got one last night in coastal Alabama 20 min. from P'cola.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. Non-stop commercials and some robo-calls here - in MONTANA.

So, it looks as though he may be in trouble here.

[yellowcanine]

20. Worst way to spend campaign money there is. Robocalls just annoy people.

In fact one way of ratfucking a candidate is to run a campaign of fake robocalls.

[Ilsa]

21. I guess these are landlines? nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. My phone is a landline, yes.

Mr. Dixie has a cell and says no calls to him.
