Nub_DanishSpaceCadetI don't think we deserve someone as good as trey gowdySearchlightNub_Danishvote for trump boys if he wins they'll just kill him off and you can get a new president after hes dead
if you vote hillary your stuck with her
Pence might honestly be even worse than Trump, if only because Pence isn't as utterly incompetent.
I might write in Tery Gowdy
Probably true. Once you start watching Tery Gowdy clips on youtube, you tend to keep watching. He absolutely destroys most people.

It was a long hard battle. I think I lost about half a nerd star, but in the end it was worth it.

So much for the "anti-establishment" candidate
Holy shit Donald Trump lied! No one expected that!
ShunHoly shit Donald Trump lied! No one expected that!
His supporters certainly didn't.
ShunHoly shit Donald Trump lied! No one expected that!
He surrounded himself by the establishment before he won the election. This is just more proof.
at the end of the day, in most cases, the most dangerous person isn't trump, it's the people he is surrounding himself with
I truly believe that donald trump is still, on like 75% of issues, a largely apolitical person. but he recognizes that the right is fractured between moderates, tea partiers, and the alt-right, and so he's trying desperately to appeal to each of them in turn.
the problem is, while he might be wholly insincere, this will lead to people like John Bolton, Stephen Hadley, Jose Rodriguez, Myron Ebell and Jeff Sessions likely having power in his cabinet, not to mention Steve Bannon. because we have such a cult of personality around presidents (especially when they run on exactly that logic like a trump does), we often ignore the power that such individuals have.
in the first term of the bush administration, as we now know, almost all of the foreign policy blunders committed (the domestic stuff would've happened regardless) was due to a fairly small group of bush's inner circle- cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, ashcroft/gonzalez, etc. it's likely we end up in a similar situation, only with even fewer moderate figures (colin powell, richard armitage, paul o'neill etc.) to push back

mustardoverlordSteve Bannon
Having done a bit of reading on Steven Bannon over the last couple of days I was interested to see that he'd done a trial run with Dave Brat (now championing Bannon's appointment by Trump obviously) in 2015 in Virgina, outflanking the incumbent and Leader of the Majority in Congress Eric Cantor. He did this by pushing exactly the same message as Trump: anti immigrant, anti corruption, etc, and took the Republican selection then won the general election. Presumably we can expect more of the same elsewhere, why stop now?
Also much of Bannon's wealth stems from getting a share in Seinfeld syndication rights when he ran a media investment company. If his views on race really do match the accusations of his wife then it could be an irony up there with MGM releasing Birth of a Nation.

I find Bannon interesting because he's a power-behind-the-throne type guy. Bloomberg did an interesting piece on his operations at Breitbart and his background last year

I felt like I got a good understanding of his motivations and it made some things about the campaign much clearer
The potential for someone like Gaffney to be used as a battering ram to attack civil liberties and basic freedoms through incredible paranoid rhetoric is certainly there, but my feeling is that they want someone who can reliably keep the Islamaphobic narrative going to ensure they have their bogeyman front and center when they need it for political and media purposes. The potential to do both at the same time is the scariest part.

I legitimately don't understand why spacecadet gets all of this focus on him. I've actually never seen him say or do anything particularly racist. I see so many well known players who say racist things constantly and nobody comments on them, so I'm really confused. Did I miss him saying some horrible things or something?
