Why the GOP establishment embraces Trump in Iowa more than any other battleground

There are six factors that explain why so many Iowa Republicans are tying themselves to the polarizing nominee, in sharp contrast to places such as Ohio:

1. It is not as risky in Iowa as other places.

2. Republicans want blue-collar Democrats who are crossing over for Trump to vote for down-ballot Republicans, too.

3. Iowa Republicans said they don’t want the bottom to fall out from underneath Trump because it would cost them dearly down-ballot.

4. GOP leaders believe supporting Trump is necessary to save the caucuses in 2020.

5. Iowa leaders care more about judges than others.

6. Finally, some elected Republicans genuinely like Trump.

Trash's pandering to the nativists, jingoists, racists, white supremacists ...

Presidential Campaign Brings the Alt-Right Out of the Shadows

The alt-right, a mostly anonymous internet subculture, has been introduced to the mainstream thanks to the 2016 presidential campaign.

First Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hired controversial political figure Steve Bannon to a major position within his campaign.

Then Hillary Clinton attacked him for it, claiming that Trump has associated himself with alt-right themes throughout his campaign -- nationalism, closed borders and race separation.

After she delivered a scathing speech Thursday, tying Donald Trump the movement, it exploded into everyday vernacular.

In the span of 24 hours, the words alt-right and discussion about it blanketed 24-hour cable news, it was covered in every major mainstream news outlet from NBC News to the New York Times to Vice News to the Voice of America.

Nothing new here. Trash has made blatant what the Repugs have had as campaign tactics, and actual policies for 50 years.

The alt right is pretty well represented here in spurs talk, tbh.

An NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll from last week showed that 8% of black voters are supporting Trump while 87% are supporting Clinton.

8 percent and climbing

Trash is as trash says

Donald Trump to sexual harassment victims, 'find another career' if you're so unhappy

Donald Trump has decided to elaborate on his opinion of the sexual harassment charges against former Fox News CEO

Speaking with Fox News' Kirsten Powers, Trump sad it was "very sad" that women were accusing Ailes of harassment, questioning why those same women has previously praised him in the past.

Trump told Powers that Carlson has said "fabulous things" about Ailes, which apparently led him to raise questions.

When asked if his daughter Ivanka was in the same position, allegedly being sexually harassed, Trump responded accordingly.

"I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case."

Roger Ailes’ role on Team Trump draws scrutiny

MADDOW: Is Roger Ailes working as part of the Donald Trump campaign?

CONWAY: No. He is not a formal or informal adviser. They’re old friends. I mean, he’s Donald Trump. He talks to a lot of people. Something is always ringing. […]

MADDOW: Roger Ailes, no role in the campaign, though?

CONWAY: Roger Ailes has no formally or informal role in the campaign, no. But he is a marketing genius.

A “marketing genius” who was recently accused of grotesque and indefensible workplace behavior.

the campaign manager was nevertheless categorical: Ailes has no role on the team.

There’s nevertheless a fair amount of evidence of Ailes having at least some kind of role in the Republican operation.

The Washington Post reported over the weekend, for example, that Ailes still has no formal role on the campaign, but the former Fox News chairman “talks to the candidate frequently and attended a strategy session last weekend.”


The Post’s Robert Costa added that Ailes is a member of Trump’s “new inner circle,” which includes a very small group of allies.

(Costa emphasized this again on “Meet the Press” yesterday.)

NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell also reported that Trump scheduled a debate-prep meeting yesterday at his New Jersey home, and Ailes, “who is advising Trump ahead of the debates,” was in attendance.

Conway’s response to Rachel didn’t leave much in the way of wiggle room – Ailes “is not a formal or informal adviser” – but it’s hard not to get the impression that the former Fox News chief, at a minimum, has the GOP candidate’s ear.

Kellyanne Conway Calls Breitbart Chief ‘Consultant,’ Says Trump ‘Chose Me to Run His Campaign’

In a moment reminiscent of Reagan Secretary of StateAlexander Haig‘s “I’m in charge here” moment,

new Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conwayappeared to diminish the role of Breitbart News chairman and Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon Sunday morning in an interview with Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace.

When pressed about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton‘s speech blasting Trump’s courtship of the racist “alt-right,”

Conway told Wallace that she’s in charge, and Bannon is a mere consultant:

What Is The Alt-Right?






A recent speech by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton criticizing the “alt-right” movement and its support of Republican nominee Donald Trump has shone the national spotlight on the ideologically conservative group. Here’s what you need to know about the alt-right:

Beliefs

Why ruin your day by getting into this?

Precursors

Long lineage of conservative philosophers including Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Julius Evola, and “U Mad Bro” 4chan meme

Membership

Over 40,000 individuals currently appealing ban on Wikipedia editor account

Origin

Although generally considered an online movement, the alt-right actually has its roots in the evolution of adrenal glands in vertebrates 525 million years ago

Against

Political correctness, immigration, feminism

For

Being against political correctness, immigration, feminism

Notable Achievements

Finally convincing Twitter to take online harassment seriously

History

Movement began in earnest after Ronald Reagan aired his famous “It’s Morning In Cuckmerica” campaign ad in 1984

How It Differs From Traditional Conservatism

Even less diverse

Chief Opponents

Social media sites’ conduct policies

Goals

Members hope to preserve European culture, promote nativism, feel less sad and angry about everything all the time, and oppose political correctness

How Long Will The Movement Last?

As long as there are lib s that need uncucking

In Trump’s new ad, keep an eye on the fine print

Team Trump unveiled its second ad, and this time, the economy really is the focus.

“In Hillary Clinton’s America, the middle class gets crushed,” a narrator says. “In Donald Trump’s America, working families get tax relief.

Millions of new jobs created.

Wages go up.

Small businesses thrive.

The American Dream, achievable.

Change that makes America great again.”

NBC News reported that the 30-second spot, which is online here, is part of a significant ad buy – “about $10 million over the next week or so” – and will air in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

By and large, it’s pretty much a boilerplate message we’d expect from any GOP candidate in any election cycle, effectively arguing, “Democrats will raise taxes; I’ll cut them; and tax cuts create prosperity.” It’s nothing Americans haven’t heard before.

But what I found notable about the ad was the fine print.

To the Trump campaign’s credit, the commercial includes footnotes of sorts for many of its core claims.

For example, at the 15-second mark, when the narrator says “working families get tax relief” in Trump’s America, there’s small text at the bottom that reads, “A Pro-Growth Tax Code For All Americans, GOP: A Better Way, 6/24/16.”

Why does that matter? Because

“A Pro-Growth Tax Code For All Americans, GOP: A Better Way, 6/24/16” is House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) tax plan, not Donald Trump’s. They’re actually pretty different,

and include their own marginal rates, which makes it odd for Trump to cite the House GOP’s plan as if it were his own.

A couple of seconds later, the same ad includes fine print that reads, “ ‘Details and analysis of the 2016 House Republican Tax Reform Plan,’ Tax Foundation, 7/15/16.” And while I’d take issue with the center-right Tax Foundation’s analysis of Ryan’s plan, the point is, again, that Trump has a different plan.

At the 19-second mark, note that the fine print reads, “ ‘Details and analysis of Donald Trump’s Tax Plan, Tax Foundation, 9/29/15.” And while that’s certainly closer to being applicable,

what the ad doesn’t mention is that Trump has since abandoned that tax plan, unveiling a new blueprint three weeks ago.

There are some core questions that obviously deserve to be part of the national debate this election season:

Is Trump correct that massive tax breaks for the wealthy trickle prosperity down on everyone else?

Especially with unemployment being cut from 10% to below 5%, are far-right economic ideas really the appropriate course?

Why would the candidate who says U.S. wages are already “too high” promise voters increased wages?

But as important as these lines of inquiry are, this new ad suggests the Trump campaign isn’t altogether familiar with its own platform.

As MSNBC’s Benjy Sarlin asked,

Trump’s commercial “twice cites the House GOP tax plan.

Then it cites his old tax plan,

which has totally different rates.

What is his plan?”

Don’t ask Trump and his aides; they don’t appear to know.

Of course, the Trash supporters are stupid, ignorant, emotionally, not rationally, committed to Trash, so analysis such as above is totally incomprehensible and, to them, irrelevant.

Whatever Trump has done to negatively impact blacks dwarfs in comparison to the devastating effects Clinton policies had on black families, mainly doubling the prison population while Bill was in office. How do black people get past that fact and still vote for Clinton?

That is true, and the Clinton's haven't run from that either. Clinton (Bill) said that he was a part of the problem. There is also the fact that children of parents that are incarcerated are 7x more likely be imprisoned, creating a cycle.

The fascinating thing is that the GOP can't hit the Clinton's on that because blacks have no interest in anything the GOP is trying to sell and the GOP has either given up or intentionally Whether true or not; the GOP has been seen as a racist party. There are certainly some that seem to qualify (Maine's Governor recent meltdown isn't helping that perception).

Trump has a long track record of saying and doing things that can be considered racist, starting in 1974 with being sued for housing discrimination, which has been reported on extensively.

And then there are the endorsements of David Duke and Tom Metzger (both former leaders of the KKK) , The American Nazi Party, and the KKK, who all have endorsed him.



this actually first aired in VA, a state with a black population of 20% and almost 30% non-white.

That's apart of the reason why he is down 16 points here, blacks and other minorities aren't going to vote for someone who attracts this type of support, and the weren't likely to back the GOP in this election anyway given the voting trends.

As for Clinton, I think its less about her and more about how Blacks really like Bill Clinton, the Obama's, and Sanders ( black millennials at least) and have been voting Democrat for eight decades that play into her massive lead (she is up 91 to 1% with 8 percent undecided)

I like what one dude said on TV.

The Trumps have been getting sued and saying racist things since the 70s.

The Clinton's, in the case of Hillary have been trying to help the black communities since the 70s.
