thanks

you don't even have to care about the discussion, just make relevant posts that bump the thread

the problem with just saying 'bump' is that it doesn't generate potential discussion

can someone bump the thread again

guys, if you want to see what a weak Democrat candidate looks like, see this ad

That makes me think of how they keep invoking "The Emperor's New Clothes" when Trump only has plurality support.

@Nuke what exactly do you mean by that

what do you guys think of this ad

you get to see young Dubya and young Jeb

" Wow, 3 future presidents in a video. "

hahahahaha one of the comments

McGovern claims in that ad that people are voting for Nixon because they're "expected" to do so.

Democrats use the "Emperor's new clothes" metaphor to claim they're like some sort of resistance counterculture; in other words, they believe we're all deceiving ourselves, hallucinating because Trump is so amazingly popular, while they see the truth thanks to the MSM.

ah

It's like, Trump isn't even that popular, even if I wish he were.

No one is forcing themselves to hallucinate to think Trump is good.

exactly

Humorously the story also may or may not leave open the possibility that those who aren't deceiving themselves may in fact be deceiving themselves.

Because "only incompetents, morons, and inappropriately employed" see through the clothes.

apparently there's something going on with the streams right now

http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/158877971#p158877971

I wonder what's up

I don't know.

I wonder if it's just YouTube they're talking about, or if the TV channels are also taken down

I don't watch TV so I wouldn't know

"

ALL ARE DOWN

FOX ABC AND CSPAN ARE DOWN

FOX BENIS TRUMP'S FACEBOOK AND ABC ONLINE ARE DOWN"

holy shit

wait

I don't have TV access right now

@Nuke can you check???

can anyone else here verify that TV channels are off-stream ?????????????

same

wtfffffffffff

you know,

if Trump was assassinated,

the GOP would dominate in the midterms

yeah

but that doesn't mean as much as if Trump were still in charge

win-win

can we rely on Pence ?

I believe so

Pence is a lot more socially conservative, while Trump is more of a immigration hardliner

the reason I got into all this was because of Trump, not for any of the GOP establishment fops

Trump is crucial, he's gotta be alive

Pence is a good guy, but I'm not in this for Pence.

Yeah, I don't trust any of the others

BTW can anyone make a new general right now

I don't have access to a computer at the moment

Feel free to make it the way you want it BTW

Little late at the moment, don't you think

One of these days I may manage the OP, I'll see if I have the free time

some people might fuel the discussion on their own

That's what I hope

just post one and don't bother trying to maintain it if you're too busy

What are the best hours to keep it up ? I say 5pm to 10pm

Eventually I hope the discord'll have enough people from each state to manage individual discussion in each channel

I'll see if I can't get it done earlier

I hate to say it, but maybe we should advertise the Discord on le reddit

haha

and other right wing spaces

red storm (GOP gain seats)
trickle (Democrats gain 0 to 10) <- you are here
swell (Democrats gain 11 to 24)
wave (Democrats gain 25 to 35)
flood (35 to 50)
tsunami (50+)

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 create an equivalent for storm

Like

I don't know too much about that, I don't see too much eye to eye with those guys, but we'll see I think.

Sparkle (Republicans gain 0 to 10)

We can handle a trickle, certainly.

Drizzle (Republicans gain 11 to 24)

We want to be as far as possible to be safe

Storm ( Republicans gain 25 to 35)

new nate silver poll up, D+5 from all people

C+ rating

I think that one's leaned

things change quickly, remember

Hmm

I think when dealing with polls registered voters are the way to go

just a month ago, Dems had a +10 lead

Torrent (35 to 50)

Hurricane (50+)

Red Tide

Hold up a second, I have something on the methodology

"The NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll was conducted online from Tuesday, January 30 through Thursday, February 1,
2018"

>online

If Trump got assassinated I would only really support Pence if he continued to be a hardliner on immigration.

Yeah

I for one would start lobbying for Donald J. Trump Jr. to be nominated VP ASAP.

my litmus test is:
a) No amnesty
b) No more foreign wars

Don Jr's busy with the company and being a madman on Twitter

the GOP can maintain this momentum by crafting a popular infrastructure bill

the thing is, infrastructure is a Democrat idea

How would the Democrats play into that

it'd help Trump, but Trump's not up for election

i'm not sure what a Republican infrastructure legislation would look like

idk, really it seems universal

more roads, fixed buildings, the nine yards

How do you think a rail line system in the US would work like they have in Europe or Japan?

You pay a ticket price, you go from city to city, high speed.

Infrastructure has always been a more Republican type of spending program.

in what sense
