How do you gently caress up an article on a speech?

They obviously wrote a "OMG HORSE RACE" piece before and/or immediately after the speech and shoved it out into the world without actually reporting on A) how crappy the speech was or B) the immediate heel-face turn Trump made as soon as he was in front of an audience who cheered him on to say his usual nasty poo poo.

Then they had to go and make a few updates after the fact because the reality turned out a little different.

The power of the incentive to make every election THE CLOSEST OF ALL TIME is really blindingly obvious this time around.

As I said on the prior page, I think it may have had to do with a last minute speech change. Conway has been pushing a more softer Trump on immigration, dropping hints here and there that "everything was on the table, wait and see for the policy speech!" And then Bannon backstabbed her and got Trump to do a speech that was straight out of Breitbart and primary Trump.

Apparently it was never going to be a conwayesque speech, but she really fed the narrative of a softer position on immigration.

JER GEDDA FERDA RADDA ARA!



It was in line at a grocery store, and this older, maybe 60-something white guy in a Trump hat decided to ask the young black guy working the bag station at the register who he was voting for, so he said Hillary. Dude then went into a mild spiel about how she's bad and how he should change his mind, when the guy in front of me in line, an older black man jumped in and told him, hey man it's his choice, it's a personal thing. So MAGA hat decides to ask them both what Hillary will do for the black man and why all the Democrat-run cities are so bad for blacks and all that poo poo. It ended with an agreement to disagree, so not horrible all things told, especially in Arizona.

I literally just realized that MAGA means Make America Great Again because of that story. I assumed it was just meaningless alt-right drivel like how "cuck" means "anything I don't like".

Trump has helped make whitesplaining socially acceptable, which is pretty horrible.

Trump was never going to pivot. IT WAS THE REST OF AMERICA THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO PIVOT TO OUR WAY OF THINKING. YOU REAL RACISTS.

Also, making Rudy wear a hat that said "Make Mexico Great Again"

Sure, they jumped the gun a little on not blundering, but the dumb poo poo Mayor 9/?? did/wore/said is kind of unrelated.

I can't imagine being black with a retail job this election. I get enough customers trying to do some weird kindly uncle thing where they to politely explain why Trump would be an awesome choice for me despite my constant refrain of "I don't discuss politics at work" and I'm white as hell.

Somebody help me out here. Is there some law on the books that says rapists and murderers can't be arrested or deported if they happen to be illegal aliens? Cause I hear this poo poo a lot, particularly from Bill O'Reilly.

"C'mon! Let's tune our weapons!"
Our 6pm news just referred to Trump returning to Arizona and "resuming ranting and raving". That's a direct quote.

Apparently he's not overly popular in New Zealand. :D

Well, the federal private prison complex that the government is starting to shut down mostly holds foreign nationals who have to serve prison terms before being deported, so I don't think that's the case.

I kinda resolved the same but then the Ethiopian and Kenyan guys and I see someone is a MAGA hat and we all just hang our heads and just crack the gently caress up. I'm in good company.
