Fuck Trump, however...when has Clinton ever had a press conference like this?

[Joe the Revelator]

This is the kind of shit that would hurt a Clinton nominee. Say what you will about Trump, but he is going to be appealing in the GE.

[femmedem]

1. What's he talking about?

My internet connection is too intermittent to stream.

[Joe the Revelator]

3. He said fuck a victory speech and held a full press conference. Answered tough questions that

obviously weren't scripted. But he took them.

[femmedem]

9. Wow! Thanks. n/t

[itsrobert]

2. You mean have her supporters in full force in front of the room

and the press asking questions from across the room from behind her supporters?

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Sure, when has Hillary allowed a non-planted press conference on national television?

[itsrobert]

12. You asked just like Trump just had

You didn't noticed he had the room packed with his supporters?

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Were the supporters asking him questions?

No Robert, it was the fucking press.

[Joe the Revelator]

20. They.weren't.the.ones.asking.the.questions.

[CoffeeCat]

51. Was recently reported that she has not spoken to her press pool in two months

Have you heard this also.

She's in more of a bubble than Palin was.

Article about Clinton not speaking to traveling press for two months (that's nuts).
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-campaign-press-access_us_56bce1c8e4b08ffac1245666

AND she broke the 87-day streak of not speaking to traveling reporters by talking to them today.

[reformist2]

4. He speaks in generalities, and basically has no details, but he comes across as real.

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Thats what I'm saying, you need to have a real candidate vs a real candidate

Trump is going to mop up Hillary, but the polls support Bernie against Trump.

[reformist2]

30. Yes. That's a huge reason I'm for Bernie. He will go toe-to-toe against Trump.

And unlike Hillary, he doesn't have a lifelong history of flip-flopping, selling out, and flat-out corruption to defend.

[peacebird]

45. ^^^this^^^

[bigtree]

6. omfg

...heard him claim he'll do well with 'Hispanics' and blacks.

Fat fucking chance.

How about this? Leave the drooling over this pig's campaign for the media hacks hoping for a circus.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. Answer the question, when has Clinton taken questions like that on national TV?

[bigtree]

22. ffs, get off the Trump praise

...or, what the hell, keep it up.

At any rate, it doesn't belong in this forum.

[Joe the Revelator]

27. The beginning of my thread says 'FUCK TRUMP', I'll ask you again Bigtree, when is the last time..

Hillary held a press conference on national television?

[reformist2]

32. If we're not allowed to discuss our opponent's strengths, that doesn't bode well for us. At all.

[bigtree]

34. looks like you added that for deniability

...because all you've done in this thread is praise Trump, at the expense of our Democratic candidate.

Slippery politics which does nothing except promote the demagogic pig.

[Joe the Revelator]

35. Keep trying bigtree. You still haven't answered the question

You want an echo chamber, go to the grand canyon.

[bigtree]

47. there isn't really a question here

...just repeated fluffing of Trump.

[Joe the Revelator]

48. I don't know, you like to listen to yourself talk, maybe you missed it the three times I've asked...

...you. The question is, very clearly, when is the last time Hillary Clinton took a full on press conference on national TV?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

62. At the expense of YOUR Democratic candidate.

[Warren DeMontague]

56. You dont see a problem if we run someone overly scripted who refuses to answer questions

Against someone who is seen to be "refreshingly off the cuff"?

Denial helps none of us. Guess what- i think she's gonna be the nominee, which means i think there are fewer reasons to pretend there is nothing she could be doing better, not more.

[SheenaR]

37. She won't even take questions

From her traveling press corps. Going on like 11 weeks now. Everything is scripted. Hence why her worst moments are when she is challenged (Nevada Town Hall, BLM, Somali Girl)

[dinkytron]

43. Softballs only for Madame Sec.

[Cosmocat]

15. Hes like

Archie bunker or some other 70s tv character.

[Arazi]

36. FFS, Trump won 40% of the Latino vote in NV

even against two Latino candidates.

Take your head out of the sand please!!

[Pisces]

60. You mean 40% of 2600 total latino voters??? Get your Trumpy pom poms out of your a$$.

This is not a latino coalition. They will be voting for Hillary in the GE. Rubio and Cruz are Cubans. There is a big difference between
Cubans and Hispanics from Latin America( which are the majority in the country). Good luck with your right wing tripe.

[Arazi]

64. Look, we extrapolate those kinds of numbers from small samples all the time

It's been done in every primary and caucus so far

polling uses even smaller samples, much smaller to make their generalizations

Trump is a dangerous fucker who needs a psyche ward but he's probably going to be the nominee so we either figure out how to take him down or he's our 45th President. Putting our fingers in our ears and ignoring what's happening doesn't help us

[grossproffit]

8. Yeah, he appeals to white supremacists. He's a loser.

[LexVegas]

11. ...

[Joe the Revelator]

14. Answer the question?

Or just refer to the polls that have that man beating Hillary quite easily.

[Barack_America]

13. Yeah, Hillary doesn't "do" press conferences.

As political royalty, she is exempt from having to answer to the little people, as that unfortunate "dear" found out in her scolding today.

[C_U_L8R]

16. That was a phony press conference

Real press conferences don't have cheerleaders

[itsrobert]

23. +1

copy that

[Beaverhausen]

18. When has anyone else done that?

[Joe the Revelator]

21. I don't know, but they should. I like when people answer questions.

[Beaverhausen]

24. With a cheering crowd?

By the way she is asked questions at the debates.

Did you listen to trump? Were those hard questions? I don't think so.

[Joe the Revelator]

26. They asked if he supported the KKK, twice, during what could have been a fluff victory speech

[Beaverhausen]

28. Are you serious?

This was not a press conference in any way. This was the media sucking up to their ratings-maker.

[Joe the Revelator]

29. Did you actually watch it? Plus you're missing the point, when has Hillary taken tough questions...

...on national television?

[Beaverhausen]

31. Debates

Much tougher questions at the debates.

And yes I watched Trump say he disavowed.

Deep

[Joe the Revelator]

33. Debates? Come on, debates are easy and are much different then taken questions from the press.

[Kilgore]

40. Exactly

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. He was actually asked TWICE about the KKK

I did watch that presser, well heard that presser

[davidn3600]

19. Press conferences are below Hillary...she won't do them.

[PonyUp]

58. They can't afford her. n/t

[840high]

25. Agree 100%. DU keeps

brushing him off - he is appealing to a wide audience.

[bettyellen]

38. "he is going to be appealing in the GE." HA HA. HA.

[Live and Learn]

39. I agree. He sounded pretty good pushing for keeping corporate money in the US and

creating jobs. Pretty damn scary, if you ask me.

[Arazi]

41. Agreed. We dismiss him at our peril eom

[Kilgore]

44. Also agree

Don't underestimate this guy

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. Some of us do not take TRUMPISM as a joke

and yes, I now call his political philosophy trumpism. It has quite a bit of fascism, with a dash of a few other things. And in the GE it will appeal to more people than folks here are willing to consider. You are for a surprise, not the OP, those who keep laughing at Trump... like Hitler, people like you dismissed him

This is far from a normal election. And since it is needed, no I am not a fan of trump... but I have read history.

[nruthie]

49. I have read history, too, and I share your concerns. All this is anything but funny.

[joshcryer]

50. Trump appeals to the lowest common denominator.

You don't win the presidency without broad appeal.

[grasswire]

52. Hillary: no press questions for 93 days, IIRC. nt

[redstateblues]

53. Appealing to you maybe. Not to a majority in the US

[Joe the Revelator]

54. Polls vs Hillary would disagree with you

[kimbutgar]

55. He sounded like an insane man

His rant, repeating, attacks and lying so much I could swear his nose was growing.

[youceyec]

57. He doesn't say anything, all vague nonsense.

and he gets away with it.

[PonyUp]

59. Should be a good match-up for Hillary then. n/t

[youceyec]

61. :)

[jcgoldie]

63. How could you watch that clown show...

...and come away impressed? Trump doesn't actually answer any questions whether you call it a press conference or whatever... listen to what he says he just spews BS talking points in no detail. And WTF was Chris Christie looking at...? He looked dumbfounded... why was he even there?

[PonyUp]

65. Chris Christie was looking at the hors d'oeuvre tray and was wondering how to get to it. n/t
