The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[byu71]

Just talked to my Sister who is serving a mission in Colorado with her husband. She is loving her mission and suggesting I go.

When we have talked in the past she has definitely planned on voting for Trump over Hillary. Maybe it is the spirit talking to her or something, but she told me she isn't voting for either now. She is sickened by the choice she has.

She also liquidated everything in her account and put it in cash. I think there will more people taking money out of the market during this election cycle. That's people, cash flow might actually be positive as the big money may have a longer term perspective.

So the only thing I like about Trump is that he's disrupting the traditional political model by avoiding fundraising, taking any interview, using Twitter himself and exploiting free media. This morning he's getting trashed for his FEC filing. While he's rightly torched for using political money to pay his businesses and family, I get annoyed at the criticisms of his raise amount. Money in politics isn't just bad, it's also largely unnecessary. I just wish a better candidate had upended the model.

Boo ... no, not when these guys are available:

I think so too, but I have thought he would fade into black only moments after announcing his candidacy. It wouldn't shock me to see him win. I don't think he will, but I think any and all of the shock I can muster in this election cycle has worked its way out of me already.

in the past when they wrote him off he was ahead in the republican polls. He's losing in the general election ones now and the gap is widening.

Trump will be annihilated. Mondale redux.

Heh.

Heh.

Did she tweet that or did her tweeting minions tweet it?

Or perhaps she said it, using her mouth and voice.

It was in her speech this morning concerning Trump and the economy. I didn't hear the whole address, but I didn't think it was as strong (I'm not sure she'd be any better for the economy, except that she'd be more predictable) as her earlier rip on Drumpf, but that was a good line.

Heh.

That is a pretty funny line. Her delivery was a bit weak and she might have been better off sending the line to Jimmy Fallon to deliver the line. It still would have gotten all the press coverage it did.

Heh.

She'll lose if she gets into the mud with the Donald. She may not lose the election, but she won't win the mud slinging contest and she will be damaged if she tries. If I were a Hillary advisor I would steer her clear of any juvenile tactics like this.

During my two years we had a few retirement-age single sister missionaries in regular companionships with ~21 year old sisters. I wonder if there's a rule against retirement-age single elders serving.

With 21 year old sisters?? I think there is a rule against that, but I will check as that could be an extra incentive.

Sort of agree, but I think an occasional quip is good to create the impression she's got a sense of humor (I doubt she does, but it's to her advantage if she can fake it) and it has the added benefit of driving Drumpf nuts, compelling him to keep tweeting away.
