7/11 9/11....What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, even DonDiego has shitcanned that as his sig. Didn't you see the Benghazi hearings?
And here I thought we were talking about political memes that will used as fodder for negative advertising...
Nope. I was talking about political attacks that are impotent versus those that have an impact.

Since you obviously know a lot about impotence, let me explain (again) about impact.

In 2008 Obama was considered by many to be an arrogant, uppity, elitist, book-learnin' kind of guy, and his comment about folks clinging to guns and religion cratered his campaign for a while. But since absolutely no one thought that Obama was stupid, 57 states mattered not, and was only kept alive by dim bulbs on message forums.


1. No one thinks Donald Trump actually meant 7-11 either...just like no one believes President Obama meant 57 states. Duh. If 7-11 ends up being a campaign issue it will only be from dim bulbs on message forums. The only reason people point to the 57 states error is to counter when some asshole tries to make a simple speaking gaff into some kind of campaign issue.

2. And since you decided to go personal....If you can't tell the difference between a simple speaking gaff like 7-11 or 57 states and Romney's secretly recorded, pre-planned 47% remark at a fundraiser, then you must be the most impotent dimmest bulb of them all.

3. I seriously doubt that Trump's 7-11 gaff will live much past next week.....except for dim bulbs on message boards...where 'What Difference Does It Make' will live forever.

alanleroy, you have an amazing grasp of the obvious. And just as obviously, I've been commenting on the political impact of those statements, not on their sincerity.

Even though the Republicans spent about a whole day of their 2012 national convention featuring "You didn't build that" (and no coincidence, it was a DonDiego sig line), for the remainder of the campaign you didn't hear Romney or Ryan mention it. That's because if fell flat in focus group testing because it didn't match with anyone's pre-existing beliefs about Obama. Ditto 57 states. But "clinging to guns and religion" really hurt Obama for just the opposite reason.

No one is going to give a shit about a Trump aide who is close to Pakistan, because no one thinks that Trump will go easy on any foreign country, friend or foe, right? But the probable 2016 Republican presidential nominee is perceived as being ignorant about policy issues, especially when compared with Hillary. Fair or unfair, any slip of the tongue by Trump that reinforces that belief can probably be effectively used against him.

DonDiego doesn't recall that as his signature line; he wouldn't have thought himself to be that insightful.
In any case, . . . it's nice to be remembered.

Well you've already gone from "That's why I think that "7/11" will be used effectively against the 2016 Republican nominee" to "...can probably be effectively used against him". If we give you long enough to keep waffling, maybe you'll just realize that the Hillary Campaign using this minor slip of the tongue effectively against Trump is just your personal wet fantasy dream and has no basis in reality. It might make SNL or a John Oliver hit piece...but in two weeks it will be long forgotten.

"2016 Republican presidential nominee is perceived as being ignorant about policy issues, especially when compared with Hillary"

Her track record in Egypt, Libya, Syria, isis, Russia, China and N Korea to name a few is terrible

Hilary's negatives are astonishing. It's just that donald's and Cruz's are worse. Almost two thirds of the people would rather vote for anyone but those three.
donald won my Jackson Heights election district with eight votes. Not by eight votes, but with eight votes. Kasich got five and Cruz three. There may be an absentee ballot or two outstanding. Meanwhile, the line for Democratic voters was down the block and they estimate tens of thousands in NYC didn't vote because of the lines.
What a joke. In a District 95% Democratic, the rule is you need equal machines for each party. In Brooklyn, they say entire city blocks disappeared from the voting records.

Now that's an impotent comeback. By the way:

  • I think Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee.
  • Donald Trump will probably be the GOP nominee.

    Can anyone else spot the contradiction? Me neither.

    Well I would compare her tenure to the foreign policy that proceeded hers, but that would be ***BLAMING BUSH*** which I understand isn't allowed here. Is it kosher to use Reagan as a comparison? You know, the guy who sided with Saddam, sent missiles to Mullahs, and had Benghazi x 60 in Lebanon.

    No wonder you guys hate history.

    • Right. WILL BE and CAN PROBABLY BE are the exact the same things...But not in the English language. One expresses certainty....as in 'Forkush will be acting like an idiot' The other is simply a strong possibility as in 'Forkush can probably be acting like an idiot'.

    You left out "I think," didn't you? That's an impotent ploy. Here, I'll help:

  • I think Forkush will be acting like an idiot.
  • Forkush will probably be acting like an idiot.

    Anyone else see a contradiction? Me neither.
