I am a lifelong political animal and a longtime Maryland Republican. I worked on the staffs of Maryland Congresswoman Helen Bentley and Congressman/Gov. Bob Ehrlich. I also served on the GOP staff of the House Financial Services Committee.
In fact, I personally drafted the speech of the "Benghazi mom," Patricia Smith. In that speech, I concluded with the following line: "If Hillary Clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?" As a political speechwriter, that was something of a home run moment for me. The New Yorker called the speech "the weaponization of grief."
Fear sometimes wins you elections, but it doesn't create jobs, build schools, reduce crime or improve the quality of life for all citizens. Great political leaders help us transcend our fears.
But the only prospect more terrifying than voting for Hillary Clinton is not voting for her.
The reality of American politics today is, she is the only choice.

- @omg You seem to have forgotten how a lot of things work.nb
- If you read the editorial, the point he's making is that he doesn't at all want to vote Hillary, but he will vote for her because his conscious says he must.nb
- in other words he's unconsciously programmed to vote Hillary thinking he's doing the world a favor and any other choice is a "throw away"omg
- Amazing how anyone thinks they have a choice in this election. Not long ago were the Clintons and Trumps great friends. Now acting the part of enemiesomg
- You seriously think the writer is "unconsciously programmed"? Get real, dude. Everything doesn't fit in to your silly little framework of the world.nb
- omg, that's as ridiculous as claiming YOU are unconsciously programmed to vote Trump thinking he's capable of saving jobs with a $15B wall.monospaced
- nb would rather deny a hard truth than face it.omg
- What am I denying, exactly? Aren't you a Jill Stein supporter? You really want to bring up denying a hard truth?nb
- Mono, there are people so wired into the system that they'll do or say anything to protect it regardless.omg
- I support honest truth. probably the reason why you don't see me breast feeding on the same nipple as you are.omg
- lol, but you ARE, unless you're sucking on that glorious, perfect Trump teetmonospaced
- Mono. You think I'm supporting Trump by acknowledging that how corrupt, deceptive, manipulative the democratic system is?omg
- No, I'm NOT. That's my whole point, actually. For me to make that assumption would be AS ridiculous as the assumption you made about nbmonospaced
- or any assumptions about anyone who is criticizing one candidate ... it's not fair to paint them as a lover of the other candidate by defaultmonospaced
- I'm not going to assume you support Trump. I don't think you're that stupid, and I'm not going to insult you. If you do support him, then... well...monospaced
- This is not about nb, this is about dealing with the fallout of a Hillary won election due to misplaced values.omg
- agreed, just because you are against one candidate everyone assumes you're for the other... or their party or all of their beliefs.sofakingback
- telling people that their values are misplaced because they can't stomach the idea of trump in office is just as ridiculousmonospaced
- that's a yuri stuntmonospaced
- Those are not real life values Mono. It's how people avoid truths and instead focus on winning elections via selfish and insensitive means.omg
- The writer of that article now deals with political homelessness on a race card, in winning favor of corporate control despite his comfortability with Hillary.omg
- Concluding Hillary is the only choice from a voice of a master manipulator who was know to weaponize grief.omg
- People known ing weaponizing grief is someone who is trying to drag you into war.omg
- *People known in weaponizing grief is someone who is trying to drag you into war.omg

Several life-sized statues of a naked Donald Trump popped up around the U.S. Thursday morning, including one on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Feliz.
The group behind the artwork showcased the GOP presidential nominee in the buff in order to present him in the most humiliating way possible, according to The Washington Post.
A spokesman for the group told the newspaper they do not believe the statues will be up for long.

This is intriguing.
Fox polling analyst says she will no longer lie about the polls.
"I do not think by any stretch of the imagination that it is right to tell people that just because [Trump] has enthusiastic rallies, that that means that there is going to be a surprise and the polls are wrong. Polls have been correct since 1952."
Bear in mind that Fox is obviously orchestrating this message. Lulz @ Fox staff being a "guest" on Bill O'Reilly and other Fox shows.
- But, according to some morons, FOX is a major player in the Clinton-led, leftist media conspiracy to further the Democratic agenda of sharia law and corruption.monospaced
- I know you're joking, but to be fair, there can't be very many people who think that.nb
- I'm half joking. There are more people who believe those kinds of thing than you might possibly believe.monospaced
- My point is really a question: if there is some leftist media conspiracy, is Fox part of it? Based on their Trump hating, some idiots say so.monospaced
- Conspiracy? No. That's ridiculous.nb
- There is no leftist media conspiracy. The only reason the mainstream media was EVER considered "left" is because Fox came along and PLANTED itself on the right.nb
- It was a clever move by Fox, and it worked: Define yourself as "the right" and you can immediately accuse everyone else as being on the left, by default.nb
- Even still Trump insists it's a conspiracy, and so thousands and thousands of his supporters.monospaced

Let's take a moment to consider how insane things are for Fox News right now. They're in a tricky spot. This could be the end of them.
Most likely scenario: Hillary wins. Fox News had a really tough time when Romney lost. They had been saying the polls are wrong, and that Romney could win, and when he didn't, they lost a ton of viewers. Can they survive a Hillary win if they keep telling everyone that polls don't matter and that Trump has a chance? What will happen to their viewership? So, they have to be asking themselves in high-level meetings: If we can't make Hillary lose, what can we do right now to prevent losing viewers if she wins? The obvious answer to this question is: "Let's stop telling people Trump has a chance of winning." But if they start doing that right now, they're going to start losing viewers right now.
And where are those viewers going to go? Well, what a coincidence: Trump just named the head of Breitbart his "CEO". If Fox News turns against Trump, Trump supporters are going to move to Breitbart. It's already happening, but only in small numbers.
So what should Fox do? Keep on telling everyone that Trump has a chance? For that to work, they actually NEED Trump to win. Say what you want about Fox News, but the people in charge – managers, executives, etc – didn't get to where they are by ignoring the numbers.
So let's say they bite the bullet and start distancing themselves from Trump. What happens when Trump loses the election? All the Trump supporters (aka Fox viewers) immediately will blame Fox News for not supporting the candidate. How do I know? Because Breitbart and other right-wing competitors of Fox will jump at the opportunity to blame Fox News for the loss, and steal their viewers. And it's an easy story to sell. Everyone looks for someone to blame when their candidate loses.
Right now, for Fox, there is no way out. It's like a big chess game and they've backed themselves into a corner.
AND HERE IS THE CRAZY PART:
Breitbart just pulled off an amazing move. An unbelievable one. As I just explained, if Trump loses they're going to pick up tons of Fox viewers, no matter how Fox decides to spin the next few weeks.
Bannon positioning himself as CEO of the losing campaign is brilliant.
And in the highly unlikely event that Trump wins? Breitbart gets to say, "Yeah, we did that. Bannon is a genius and turned around the campaign. So come on over and watch our brand new news network: the Breitbart News Network."
No matter what happens between now and November, Breitbart comes out the other end a big winner.

- Fascinating.monospaced
- I don't think they have too much to worry about, anyone who cares about facts would have stopped watching a long time ago.yuekit
- In the long run they are doomed because their audience is dying off. I think I read somewhere average Fox viewer is about 70 years old.yuekit
- I am baffled as to how you manage to care so much. Fuck TV newsterry_cloth
- It's possible to be interested in things that you don't like, terry.nb
- lol @ Terry whinging about someone caring when he has a psychotic episode over pretty much anything posted on here.fadein11
- Also, I wonder if Manafort resigning has anything to do with this theory.nb
- Fox dominates cable news for the 25-54 demographic. Only Hannity has been the consistent pro-Trump supporter on their staff.IRNlun6
- Remember Megan Kelly's very vocal spat with Trump, and subsequent promotion and support from the organization.IRNlun6
- The larger trend in cable news is the overall decrease in viewership towards more social media outlets. A place that Breitbart is well positioned in.IRNlun6
- All cable media is highly biased regardless of political affinity.IRNlun6
- So, are you saying Fox is biased for, or against, Trump?monospaced
- Nb, you don't seem to like them very much either which is why I find it strange that you pay so much attention to them. Fadein, you never do miss an opportunityterry_cloth

- Of course I don't like Fox News. But I'm very interested in the media landscape. I feel like this is not a difficult position to understand.nb
- just seems like a whole lot of conjecture and strategizing over an organization who's goals don't align with yours, the news media caters to the worst parts interry_cloth
- all of us, the only way to get the news to stop sensationalizing tragedies and giving people like trump attention is to tune out. if you dislike fox as much asterry_cloth
- you say you do then the logical step would be to not give them any of your time and attention. it's like all the anti-trumpers who constantly talk about the guyterry_cloth

I know everybody is saying Trump is behind in the polls, Hillary is posed to win and maybe I'm a piece of shit, asshole, little bitch like mono says, but Hilary looked worn out and yet nothing seems to really phased Trump... he seems to be getting more media than ever before. Even though Hilary is leading she just doesn't make any real sense, just tons of political-speak delivered in a raspy voice.
See for yourself...
She looked very tired and delivered a droning speech, flipping between taxes, education, child care, repeat. Also said Trump like solutions to improve the US infrastructure, clumsy tech talk and mentioning lot's of her salt-of the earth upbringing. Finally finishing off with a Trump like "I believe America's best days are ahead of 'em!"
He looked healthy, much more mellow, but not sedate at all. He made his apology and poked at himself, but did it well. Talked about the well-being of blacks in this country as well as Louisiana floods. Mentioned reigning in Washington political profiteers - over all a clearer speech.
- <these are their latest speechs btwrobotron3k
- "he looked healthy"
LOLOLOLOLOLRamanisky2 - There's been more coverage of the Olympic swimmers run-in with Brazilian police than the Louisiana floods which are as bad as Katrina.IRNlun6
- Very bad optics for Clinton having to comment at the heals of Trump making a visit. But does it matter?IRNlun6
- Are both camps so absorbed in group think that they don't know or care what the other side thinks any longer?IRNlun6
- A lot of people I follow on twitter are showing massive crowds for Trump and a very positive week for him. The other side mentions polls and a losing campaign.IRNlun6
- Many suggest there's no correlation between poll numbers and campaign rally turnout. Yet when Obama ran, his campaign rallies where massive. What's changed?IRNlun6
- you are as fucking delusional as
the "say's who?" guy.Ramanisky2 - The thing is, what you "follow on twitter" is not comparable to scientific polling data.nb
- lolmonospaced
- your critique of Hillary is that she said something that could be confused with a Trump saying, that's funnymonospaced
- hahaha good call mononb
- you also said that the "clearer speech" was about jokes, apologies and attacking the establishment, not the one talking about social issuesmonospaced
- Please explain, why are there massive turnouts for Trump rallies and not for Clinton? Which is counter to polls. This is not consistent with past elections.IRNlun6
- At least in the past crowds were relatively equal in size. Hillary's are pathetic.IRNlun6
- No idea why her attendance is lower, but the reason she's up in polls is because that's the sentiment of the nation.monospaced
- Same was true with Bernie crowds...the crowds did not correlate to the voting booth.monkeyshine
- Perhaps people just want to go see the spectacle for themselves. A Trump rally is free live entertainment! A Clinton rally is fine to watch on TV later.nb
- The rallies tell you that Trump has a few thousand super devoted fans in each state.yuekit
- Meanwhile even a close election will be decided by hundreds of thousands or millions of votes.yuekit
- the turnouts are different because Hillary supporters are not crazed banner waving morons who feel the need to justify themselves by standing in a crowd yellingfadein11
