The long awaited trump pivot has happened. Brietbart is now running the campaign. Dead Andrew has risen up Zombie-style to help tiny hands Trump out? That is sure to bring the gravitas the Trump campaign has been lacking.  Mr Bannon will assure that the True Trump TM is projected to the American People at all times. He'll keep the Great One on message - Trump's message and not the message of squishy, PC-strangled losers in the RNC.

the DNC being primarily a club in which they get to choose the winner beforehand Not at all. He did not get more votes in the primary and he did not get more superdelegate votes. If Bernie had received more votes than Hillary in either one it would be a different story, but he did not. So how can you claim that he was somehow cheated and the DNC always gets to pick the candidate? The truth is that he lost because more Democrats wanted Hillary, face it. Excuses, excuses, excuses...  The question, I am forced to repeat, is not who won the 9% nomination process (yeah, only 9% of the population voted in the primaries) but rather, why Sanders was not treated fairly.

Oh good lord, give it a rest.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Well, I dont want to risk angering the grown ups on the boards and incur another 'Oh good Lord!" or a blistering 'FOR HEAVENS SAKE!" so I'll just refer back to a John Oliver episode and let him explain why it should still be discussed. Ground hogs day!

The "polls-plus" forecast on FiveThirtyEight is lagging the "Now-cast" by less than 12%. 78.4% to 90%. That is getting into comfort territory for me, anyway, but I am terribly concerned about the absolute Sh!tstorm that is about to be unleashed on the public. Bannon will drag everyone into the gutter and then roll them around in the slime. Goebbels was an amateur, I tell you!! (And he didn't have the internet)

There will always be people willing to believe bullshyte. Especially when it reinforces their own biases.
The real work is to make sure they NEVER become a majority.
We can't get consensus in a room with 4 people. So while you can't get everyone on the same page you gotta fight for the majority. Bannon will be railing to himself by the time the election is over. For now: gotta fight back with sanity .

(And he didn't have the internet) Did Bannon write Trump's pathetic outreach to Black Americans yesterday?  Trump embedded the “exceptional negro” disclaimer that lets white voters know he’s only talking to the good ones who “want a different and much better future,” (Ben Carson, Herman Caine) as opposed to those other blacks who are happy on the "Democrat plantation" (takers of freebies).
