Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Ooof: LATimes Poll Puts Trump at 47, Hillary at... 40Last night wasn't particularly useful for Hillary. Bill Clinton, I would argue, basically swung the election for Obama in 2012. After all the good work Romney did in his convention, Bill Clinton came out and rebutted every claim made. For a week I was pulling my hair out insisting the GOP must now rebut Clinton's rebuttal. They didn't. (Naturally.) But Bill Clinton went on stage last night to do the impossible -- to humanize the inhuman. Instead of talking about policy and economics, about which he has some credibility, he instead chose to speak of love, commitment, and marriage, about which he has none. I think their idea is that Biden and Obama will carry the policy-reinforcing load, and that Bill Clinton was therefore more useful in humanizing the woman he has been all but separated from for 15 years. But Bill Clinton presided over a roaring economy. Biden and Obama have presided over a dismal one. What authority do they have to speak about good economic policy? In addition, both men are exceeding arrogant. Obama has one mode, and that mode is contemptuous condescension. He is a deeply mediocre man who has confused himself for a world-beating intellect, and cannot lower himself to speak to people whose IQ and insight actually exceed his own. The idea that Biden the idiot and Obama the vicious narcissist are capable of giving the folksy policy rebuttal that Clinton could have is just one more bad idea Hillary has had. Maybe it was ego that caused her to refrain from asking her husband to do the heavy lifting for her. A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, you may have heard. Either way, we are now two days through this, and both days have been marked by discord and bitter feuding within the Democrat Party, with no appreciable help done for Hillary's side. I can't see Obama's chin-arrogantly-lifted-eyes-gazing-heroically-into-the-middle-distance stage-whispering claims of how great we've all got it doing much to change that trajectory. We've heard it all from this failure before. The only guy I see which any chance to do some damage is Tim Kaine, simply because he's new and doesn't (yet) have the stink of failure all over him.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Lots of commentators on twitter going nuts on Trump saying the Russians should get Hillary's emails and release them before the election. 'Has a presidential candidate ever asked a foreign power to intervene in a US election before?' is the type of vapors I'm seeing.
First, only idiots and liberal journalists (but I repeat myself) don't believe the Russians don't already have her emails. Second, anyone who saw or read his comments and thought he was asking the Russians to do that is stupid. He's taking a shot at the media, which got a gold mine of data on the DNC, and apart from providing enough information to get DWS a golden parachute into Hillaryland, focused on Trump's connections to Putin. Trump's saying that even if the media got those emails from the Russians, they'd rush to the Russian connection and not what's actually in them.

Of course, this is all necessary because, as we know from our beneficent rulers, they are doing this for our own good because we are too stupid to handle anything quite so complicated as a real democracy.

How anyone can read that as an invitation to the Russians to get the emails, and not a crack at the media for focusing on who did the leaks as opposed to what was in them, is beyond my ability to understand. It's a great way to point out what the media's interest is. Posted by: El Skippito Friskito at July 27, 2016 11:57 AM (q/kmn) 278

>>Interesting question...why can't any other Republican do this? I understand the GOPers don't actually want to smack the left but what about the likes of Session, Inhofe, or Cruz?
Because they have been conditioned for decades by the msm and idiotic political consultants to speak in vague, non-confrontational tones so as not to disrupt the delicate sensibilities of the great unwashed masses, us. It was always a suckers game that put us at a disadvantage against the rapid cocksuckers of the left but it was accepted practice. Trump is demonstrating and also benefiting from an approach that turns this accepted practice on it's head. People are more than fed up and are rewarding Trump for channelling their anger even if they don't always agree with his policies. Trump is a street fighter. We haven't had one of those as our nominee, well maybe ever. If he keeps this up and doesn't go completely bugfuck nuts he just might win this thing.

There was actually a movie about two friends, one devoutly Orthodox and the other secular. Both wound up in Birkenau and by a miracle survived the war. But, after the liberation, the Orthodox Jew was convinced that G-d abandoned the Jews and so he became and atheist whereas the secular friend was convinced that their survival was a miracle and became religious/observant.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 27, 2016 11:57 AM (27m1/) Former Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks has a lecture on this (similar in nature) that is really good. He ties it in to today and what appears to be taking place again with a sort of forced march into secularism. Certainly thought provoking.

cnn panel in high dudgeon over trump saying if russia hacked clinton's server as secy of state he hopes they release those 30,000 deleted emails. they're calling it treason! disqualifies him for potus! just clueless and naked partisanship... == Right.

I actually fear for Mr. Trump. I believe someone is going to take a shot at him either before or especially after the election should he win.
The Bush derangement was bad enough but it's nothing compared to this. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 27, 2016 12:04 PM (27m1/) I think they fear a couple things: 1) I do not think they think he is a real conservative. They have been painting him as one, but they do that to everyone who runs under the R banner. The thing they fear is the door wedge. If Trump can get in while appealing to a broader array of voters than Rs normally get, he could be a gateway drug going forward for someone with more conservative policy. 2) I think they are somewhat manic, not that they will lose, but rather that their standard bag of tricks does not appear to be working (I would caution everyone about popping any corks until inauguration day, if then.) For the past 30 years, they have rolled out the racist label and hung it around the candidate, they have heaped scorn and every libel they can on conservative candidates for years, and it has worked more often than not. If these techniques are proven to no longer be effective in getting them what they want, I think they are a bit screwed. Or at least, they feel that way. YMMV. Posted by: Aetius451AD at July 27, 2016 12:10 PM (3ZoRf) 368
Trump campaigns like a Democrat. I don't mean his ideological leanings (and I don't care to get into a flame war about them)...I mean he fights and speaks vaguely and demonizes and disparages and panders and promises and changes course and creates theatrics and is bombastic...in much the way many on the left do.
It's just that he is doing it to them. He promises to "Make America Great Again" instead of "Ending Poverty", calls them crooked instead of Hitler, he promises to protect American workers from Chyynah instead of from big business, he is for the right of mothers to kill babies and then he is for those that do to receive legal consequences rather than the reverse, he gives disabled children a ride on his jet instead of marching with the latest faux outrage brigade, he pronounces himself to be yuuuugely fantastic instead of nuanced beyond the point of understanding. Could others do the same? Sure...some could. But none do, so the point is moot. He may be a sonofabitch but he's our sonafabitch. Love it. Posted by: ajmojo at July 27, 2016 12:10 PM (1H9ox) 369

Want to talk treason? Besides being a murderer, Teddy Kennedy committed treason as well, back in '84. In the '90s the docs came out when they opened up a lot of the files, and our media said nothing.
In '84, Kennedy sent an envoy to Andropov, proposing a quid pro quo. Kennedy would help Andropov, if the Russians would help defeat Regan in '84. You see, Reagan was a right-wing cowboy who was gonna blow up the world. It was time for men of sound mind like Kennedy and Andropov to take steps. Now, that was absolute treason.

The most damaging time to release the 33K emails would be about 10 days
prior to the election.... time enough for the story to build... but not time enough for it to be forgotten.... === Depends what's in them. 10 days may not be enough for good analysis to hit the press. "Slow drip" could be worse. One can only imagine the scandalous material in those emails: Disparaging allies, info confirming all sorts of banal behavior on the part of Clinton and staff, soliciting/accepting bribes for the Clinton foundation, and who the hell knows what else. Can you imagine a new major scandal every WEEK for the next two months, with the seriousness of them getting worse and worse? A careful leaker would drip out damaging information, anticipate the carefully crafted Clinton campaign "spin" response, then rebut it with more drips.

It's too soon to judge whether Hellary gets a convention bounce. 2 days in out of 4 isn't a good gauge.
RNC got off to a slow and contentious start, but finished better. I think that is what will happen to the DNC. Regardless, it will surely be painted that way by the press. So, provided the convention doesn't get overtaken by violence, and it appears to be mostly peaceful so far, I would think next week polling at the earliest for a convention bounce?

In '84, Kennedy sent an envoy to Andropov, proposing a quid pro quo. Kennedy would help Andropov, if the Russians would help defeat Regan in '84.

Odds that 30,000 "deleted" e-mails are damaging: at least 90% Odds that 30,000 "deleted" e-mails are really damaging: at least 70% Odds that these e-mails were hacked before Hillary's lawyers put them beyond FBI forensic recovery: at least 70% Odds that if hacked, they'll get leaked instead of held back for blackmail: at least 50% This is a significant exposure, no? == Assuming foreign gov'ts hold this information, its probably in their interest not to disclose that they do by leaking it. Better for that not to be confirmed. Not revealing that they have it, also potentially allows for selective blackmail later. EG, being able to blackmail the sitting POTUS is not inconsequential. I'd say odds that this trove of emails is damaging to US national security AND to Hilary Clinton personally and politically, are effectively 100%. Even begging the question of what actual classified information has been leaked (eg on assets, agents, activities, etc) If you've captured all the work product of the US State dept, now you have tremendous insight into the mindset of the agency, and its actors, including and especially Hilary Clinton herself. Even if this stuff truly was "just" personal email (which for sure, it wasn't) its still damaging, because whomever has it can probably use it to predict State Dept and HRC behavior, amongst other things.

Hi Horde !!! Missed you more than you missed me.
Was asked today about "The Donald Trump thing" from a UK engineer (I'm working out of the CZ Republic right now). I didn't say much, and didn't really have to. They kinda' know how I am - and were probably just looking to get a bit of entertainment out of my answer. They love asking me about that stuff. But I thought about it a lot. Here's my newest bullshit theory. Trump will win this, unless he totally self-implodes (always a possibility) because of two reasons ... 1) Americans are tired of rule by the political elites. Trump, for all his money, isn't a political elite. 2) Americans are especially tired of Political Dynastic Families. Trump, again, isn't the figurehead of a political dynasty. For those reasons, the Trump Kids will never see a sniff of political success. Assuming they give a damn about it. Posted by: ScoggDog at July 27, 2016 12:31 PM (Y5KX4) 508

Another tale was Catherine had some Countess scout and test out potential lovers for Catherine. She had strict standards for endurance and size, and the Countess would test 'em out. If they held up to her, she passed them on to Catherine.

He surrendered his citizenship after his IRS kerfuffle. He's not eligible. Posted by: MTF Ummm - maybe not. Back when, there was an allegedly female lefty prof who went all Sandinista and officially renounced her US citizenship. After the Sandis were kicked out of government, she sneaked back in the US. Was caught, US tried to deport her. Went round in the courts for years, but think in the end she got to stay and may have gotten her citizenship back by judicial fiat. So, un-renouncing may be a thing. Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at July 27, 2016 12:31 PM (kdS6q) 511

"It's called a "tracking poll", and is a well established polling method. Used to track changes in opinion, rather than absolute popularity."
So even if not exactly accurate, it should be good at showing momentum, which is now clearly in Trump's favor.

Tim Kaine is pretty much an empty suit. The ONLY
reason he one the Governorship of Virginia is because he followed the wildly popular Mark Warner. If I remember right, his approval rating was in the tank by the time his four years were up. If Hillary needed a former Virginia Governor, she should have chose Mark Warner. OTOH, she probably asked and he laughed at her. Posted by: Scott formerly from Virginia at July 27, 2016 12:30 PM (jXYmC) Kaine was not unpopular (unfortunately)... out of necessity, he had governed as a moderate.

There's no actual evidence of any such thing, just allegations by the Democrats. The NYT is doing its best to keep this theme alive with stories like "top spies agree it was Russian" but they have zero actual proof or even evidence. Most of these hacks have been done by anarchists who despise secrets, Anonymous and the like. Could Russia be behind it? Maybe. but that doesn't change their content.

I'm glad that Trump is swinging against Hillary. The media scrum will keep some of this stuff in the headlines for days -- CNN for example, issued a breaking news alert saying essentially that Trump called for Russia to hack Hillary's e-mails.
Anyone fairly following the Hillary e-mail story knows, however, that those e-mails were wiped from Hillary's server and that the server resides now in the FBI. If Russia (or anyone) releases those e-mails, its because they already were hacked. The White House is calling this a national security issue now. You know when it was a national security issue? When Hillary Fucking Clinton decided to act with gross negligence and conduct all of her business on her bathroom server. That's when! Frankly, if the hackers release the e-mails, it will probably do our intelligence operatives a service -- we will then have confirmation that all of those e-mails were stolen in the first place.

Hillary doesn't have a family. She has a crime syndicate. She is probably closer (SWIDT) to Huma than she is Bill.
I think the main reason they stay together is that they each know where all of the bodies are buried. Think about it. What did Bill need Hillary for once he was no longer president? The only possible answer to that question is that he needed her to stay quiet --- and as part of that deal he would support her in her bid to be the Cackling Be-cankled Clown Queen. Deep down he probably resents it because he knows what an incompetent fuck-up she is --- which is probably why he passive aggressively undermines her so often. And then of course the money is too good to divorce. Posted by: Thatch at July 27, 2016 01:36 PM (pBZp4) 555

Re: O'Reilly, you'd think that someone who regards the founders as heroic freedom fighters who were opposed to tyranny wouldn't be so blithe about slavery, no matter how well-fed and well-housed.
Washington, Jefferson, etc. were pretty well-fed when they were subjects of the British Empire. I've seen their houses! But that wasn't enough freedom for them, was it? In fact I have seen that thought expressed ON THIS SITE: "they said, 'not good enough.'" I'm interested to hear the thoughts of people who profess to love liberty: is being enslaved more okay if you're well-fed?

Mr. Trump stomped the media, talking heads, Hilz Harridan, Biden, Weiner, then went on the burn a trail to DC and exclaim that Obarfy is the most incompetent preznit evah. I'd say he covered most of the bases today. I read (somewhere) that Dems or others in the castle were in high dudgeon about "protocol" during the "other" convention. I guess there is some secret rule that you are not supposed to campaign or live. Welcome to the New World, beetches. John Roberts of FOX said he had to hand it to Mr. Trump, no other candidate ever in his memory had ever answered so many questions. And he does it while telling the media to "be quiet" or "I already answered that, next!" Loved it.
