Idk if this is the right place, but does anyone else play President Infinity?
I'm gonna be starting a pointless degree next year and I was wondering what jobs I could do and I really want to be a political strategist or campaign manager right now Shame that British politics is a flop.
Every time I've managed Hillary's campaign I've won, except once when I lost the primary to O'Malley
It did start from Hillary's camp tho. And she also fanned the flames.
Neither Hillary nor the people in her official camp started the movement. It was started by some rabid supporters and quickly caught on with the republican base after the 2008 primaries were over.
Because it is not true. Lots of journalists have dug into the origins of the birther conspiracy, and none have been able to tie it to Clinton or her campaign.
Many have accused Clinton and her 2008 presidential campaign of starting the movement, but there is no evidence that anyone associated with her campaign ever pushed the theory.
This claim was first advanced by diehard Hillary Clinton supporters as her campaign for the party’s nomination faded, and has enjoyed a revival among John McCain’s partisans as he fell substantially behind Obama in public opinion polls.
But none of those stories suggests any link between the Clinton campaign, let alone Clinton herself, and the advocacy of theories questioning Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
One of the authors of the Politico story, Byron Tau, now a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, told FactCheck.org via email that “we never found any links between the Clinton campaign and the rumors in 2008.”
As FactCheck.org reported before, there's no proof Clinton had anything to do with the claims that Obama wasn't born in the United States and thus was ineligible to be president.
But while Trump's specific claim against Hillary Clinton is not true, her supporters' hands are not entirely clean.
And if you really want to get to the source, it started in 2004 with Andy Martin as one of the Republicans running in the 2004 Illinois Senate Race that was later won by Obama.
Hillary's camp did lowkey make some shady comments saying Obama wasn't "fundamentally American" and stuff, so I don't understand why she's trying to use this as ammunition. I would just drop it.
The press is mad they got played with that 20 minutes of vets who love trump and 5 second of birther stuff.
Overall, I get why Trump's campaign wanted to put a lid on this sense the Dems were about to use it again, but I think everyone knows he still doesn't think Obama was born here or thinks he lied for college.
If I recall, Obama's people directly accused Hillary of starting it no? He yelled at her on the tarmac and everything.
Now that Trump is doing well in Ohio, Kasich had better tread lightly if he's not going to let Trump use GOP resources if he really wants to run in 2020. There could be backlash form the right.
Hilary needs to switch her strategy up. Everyday she keeps trying to "disqualify" Trump with some random moral issue. Like we get it. We have 50 days left. She needs to start moving back to polices.

And it's just getting to the point where it's becoming petty and tit for tat and even the American people are over it. Trump is a bigot. We know. She should've been gunning him on policies a long time ago.
Trump's admission is so disingenuous, he probably would have been better to not bringing it up again.
Nah, one thing Americans love is having their ego's stroked even if it means pretending to care. It's worked for Hillary's camp all along and now Trump's camp is finally catching on to the game.

Hillary, at worst, didn't directly say that Obama wasn't born in the US. She said that he was a Christian and a citizen "as far as I know" and to take Obama's word for it.
That's totally different from Trump not only accusing Obama of not being an American citizen but when the certificate came out he dismisses it and said it's a fraud.
She won't drop it because it goes to her overall argument of how his campaign is built upon bigotry so it's not a campaign designed to help everyone but a select few
It's kinda gross that people have just rolled over and accepted the fact Trump is a bigot.
"He's gross we know, move onto something else"
Like okay, where's the standards and self worth.
To be 100% honest, people of color sort of have to accept that decent portion of White Americans are bigoted whether they consciously realize it or not, sorry if that offends anyone. White liberals tend to mask their bigotry in different ways that don't seem destructive at face value and pretend they're aren't saying alot of the same things around their dinner table when nobody's around, which is why the whole "Trump is a bigot OMG we have to save America from him1!!" hysteria is very blasé to me. As if he would the first bigoted white man in the White House. I'm more interested in hearing about policies, which he hasn't really given a clear view on, which is more concerning.

That's cuz he's clearly not racist and the haters have run out of ammo Democrats have proven to be the true bigots this election cycle. They've shamed Republicans since Obama took office and became so convinced in their talking points that they lost touch with reality. Turns out that being against illegal immigration isn't such a bad idea after all.
So, gorls, I did me some research on why Nevada is so damn hard to poll in every election, primary or general, and also pulled up some interesting receipts that make me relax a little; Hillary should still send her best there from time to time though.
Here, according to Mellman, are some of the factors that make Nevada such a tough place to read:
Quote:
The state has a highly transient population, with people constantly coming and going. That makes it difficult not just to track them down, but to divine any sort of voting history that would suggest the likelihood of their participating in an election. (A lot of people will tell a pollster they are certain to vote, since it's the virtuous thing to do. Given the actual turnout, many people aren't telling the truth.)
The state has a large and growing minority population, which skews on the younger side. Young people as well as Latinos are more likely to use cellphones as opposed to land lines, making them harder and, not incidentally costlier, to reach. So despite the best efforts, those who answer a pollster's questions may be older and whiter than those who actually turn out to vote.
NV has a lot of people working odd hours; think of casinos and those 24-hour restaurants serving their clientele. If a pollster conducts a survey at night, they will miss many of those shift workers when they are on the clock. Poll during the day and they will miss the 9-to-5 employee. Not every pollster goes to the trouble and expense of conducting polls both day and night.
Two factors that increase the cost of polling are needing to conduct polls in both English and Spanish, and polling both over landlines and cellphones. Damore, also a senior analyst at the Latino political opinion research firm Latino Decisions, said one of the group's polls typically would cost about $30,000 to sample 400 to 500 people.
Not only is polling in the state expensive, but it's often difficult to get someone to find someone to front the money. The well-known Field Poll in CA, for instance, relies on financial support from media outlets, the University of C and California State University systems and other nonprofits. In S. Carolina, Clemson University, Winthrop University, Monmouth University and Marist College have all polled voters ahead of that state's upcoming primary.
"You don't have a university-affiliated constant poll like the Field Poll built in here," Damore said. "You're relying on whoever wants to pay for it."
Demographic breakdown and opinions:
Quote:
17 percent of eligible NV voters are Hispanic.
In NV, a CBS News/YouGov August survey showed Clinton up 58-20 with Hispanics.
Most Nevada GOPers are afraid of openly endorsing Trump because of the Latino population, Governor included:
Quote:
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said on Aug. 15 that he was not currently supporting Trump. “I’m not supporting him at this time, and I’ll be watching to see what he has to say and do,” Sandoval told a local Fox News affiliate. Sandoval’s comment signals a reversal, since in May he wrote on Facebook that he planned to vote for Trump.
Those that do may have an uphill battle in the state:
Quote:
But Heck might pay a price for his endorsement of Trump as more voters become aware of it. Sixty-eight percent of those polled - 74 percent of women and 62 percent of men - said they would be less likely to vote for Heck if they knew he was supporting Trump for president.
Other highlights from the poll, which had a 4.9 percent margin of error:
Sixty-one percent of polled Latino voters said they plan to vote for Democratic candidates in November, vs. 14 percent who intend to back the Republican ticket.
Slightly more than half of the voters polled agree that stopping Trump makes it important to cast their ballot in this election.
Nearly 70 percent said they saw Trump as having made the party more hostile toward Latinos.
Nearly half of the Latino voters polled in NV said they perceive the Republican Party as not caring about their community.
Finally, as I said before, the latest Nevadan poll which had Trump +2 should be questioned because it only polled in English - seriously?

If you're a suburban white man, I doubt you'll really get it. But like a good 80% of black people truly believe Trump is racist, and if anyone knows racism when they see it, it's us.
Has nothing to do with being liberal. Most black people are religious and moderate in comparison to other groups in the Democratic party. Funny we'll be his undoing on Nov 8.
He just bolted as soon as he was done.
