Ooh. Ouch.

If DJT wins, that could get a lot of use.; 11/5/16, 1:57 PM

khesanh0802 said...: Manufactured news with an attempt to make a negative out of nothing. With a little effort (Ha! Ha!) the reporter could have seen that Trump is scheduled to be in Tampa at 1000hrs; in Wilmington, NC at 1300hrs; in Reno at 1700hrs and in Denver at 2130hrs. I'd say he would have had a very difficult time fitting in WI and, if one weren't consumed by negative thoughts, one might decide that Trump thought Ryan could carry the ball for them both.; 11/5/16, 2:05 PM

I liked this comment to Obama's speech:

Bad Lieutenant said...: Nothing is written. If all you Sconnies whose souls, per Achilles, have not been flushed down a toilet, vote for Donald Trump, Trump can win Wisconsin.; 11/5/16, 2:27 PM
khesanh0802 said...: My bad. It's Sunday's schedule that got screwed up. Trump's schedule for Sunday is Sioux City at 1200hrs, Sterling Heights, MI at 1800 hrs, Moon Township, PA at 2000hrs. Sterling Hts, MI is considerably north of Detroit so it appears Trump will either have to travel by car or chopper. West Allis would be a tough fit. The distance from Sioux City to Detroit is about 800 miles. Call it a two hour flight. Milwaukee is about an hour flight. So if Trump left Sioux City at 1400 he might have made it to West Allis around 1500 if everything went just right. Then if he left West Allis at 1700hrs he would never be able to make Sterling Hts at 1800. Following the travel time you can see that if he stopped in West Allis there is a good chance that he would not be in PA until 2200 or later and all the papers and evening news would have shut down by then. If I had been reviewing Trump's schedule I would have dropped WI as well. There is going to be a rally there anyway and it won't hurt for Johnson to have top billing. The important part of the story which, of course was buried, is that Ryan was ready to campaign with Trump if their schedules worked out.

Ann, you are usually a much more astute reader. You're OOO, Ouch is misplaced!; 11/5/16, 2:30 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: The thing about grasping the nettle is, you have to do it firmly, the half-assed approach is how you get a handful of pricks.

But then, maybe Ryan likes a handful of pricks...; 11/5/16, 2:30 PM

David Begley said...: Trump in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday at 2 pm. Airport rally.; 11/5/16, 2:39 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Trump doesn't need Ryan- that is the message.

I wrote here shortly after the publication of the sex-talk tape and after Trump declared the gloves off, that the abandonment of Trump by the GOP leadership might cement his status as the true outsider in the election. His snub of Ryan confirms that. He doesn't need Ryan and he is letting him know it.

Yancey Ward said...: Bush came within 10000 votes in both 2000 and 2004 of winning Wisconsin, so it isn't impossible for a Republican to carry the state- in 92 and 96, a majority of Wisconsinites voted against Bill Clinton, though he carried the state both times.

However, I doubt campaigning with Ryan helps Trump's cause in the state, and it is probably going to vote for Clinton anyway, so I can't see any real upside to carrying through with the stop, especially given Ryan's announcement.; 11/5/16, 2:56 PM
Achilles said...: This is even more interesting.

Sanders was blackmailed.

Whether sanders was a willing participant or not he clearly was never meant to be a viable option to Hillary. Wikileaks's has destroyed the corrupt current form of the DNC one way or another.; 11/5/16, 3:08 PM

Ryan needs to develop loyalty to somebody besides the Koch Gang.

Ryan can have Reince as his headliner.; 11/5/16, 3:34 PM
Quaestor said...: Ryan's been playing both ends against the middle for far too long. His equivocation is about to upend his political ambitions.

khesanh0802 said...: @ David Begley From the signs I've seen around MN this makes sense for Trump and it fits his travel needs. If signs are any indicator ( fairly doubtful) Trump is generating a lot of enthusiasm in MN; 11/5/16, 3:38 PM
Gusty Winds said...: The Cap Times is a joke. Fuck Paul Ryan. At the last minute he deems Trump worthy for a West Allis photo op? Ryan must be thinking Trump might win, and getting nervous about it.

Trump has a better chance at MI or Pennsylvania. I wouldn't bet on Wisconsin going for Trump. Either way, Ryan has screwed Trump this entire election. Trump owes him nothing. At least Walker got on board the train earlier.

Ryan and Walker are very different men. Walker a ham sandwich guy with not a lot of money. Ryan a kept man, propped up by his Democrat wife's family money. Ryan is part of the establishment problem that Trump is trying to topple. Ryan has been corrupted by Washington seeking cooperative hugs from Pelosi. Walker has remained in Madison and reminded constantly of how bat shit crazy and dangerous liberals really are.

Whether Trump wins or loses, Ryan won't be speaker next year and his national political ambitions are over.; 11/5/16, 3:43 PM

Ryan was placed in leadership of the GOP by the GOPe because he does that specific job. He talks the talk and pretends to be conservative and then he pushes for open borders and ignores regular order on budgets to pass Obamas budgets on voice vote. He is a false flag. He is the Bush wing of the party. A false alternative to the democrats and agent of the aristocracy.

Ryan is not a good person. He showed his true colors when he did everything in his power to get Hillary elected this election.; 11/5/16, 3:52 PM

A guy who talks and writes books and thinks very highly about his accomplishments. Unexpectedly! he is retiring this year after the election. After all of his blabbering he still can't say why Hillary will be better for the country. And he is suddenly 1000 times more popular and interesting than he has ever been in his career. He got an interview with Vox!

You people are so boring and dishonest. I want entertainment.

Please give me one Hillary success or accomplishment anyone would be proud of.

Dance monkey. You pretend to be so many things. How about you pretend the candidate you support is a decent human being and support that. With anything. Oh that's right you didn't vote for Hillary so you won't even do that.

It is time for Michael or Meade or whoever is running this sock to retire it. It is boring.; 11/5/16, 4:36 PM

Yeah, and he only doubled the national debt to do it. That bill will never come due though, will it? As long as the right people are getting rich off of all of the borrowing, it's all good!; 11/5/16, 4:41 PM

Right, DJT's policy that adds $5 trillion more to the debt than HRC's policy is really going to hurt them.

Plus y'all would get to keep being DJT apologists the whole time it (w/ Rs in congress) is happening.

non-RINO all the way!

Sounds good to me.; 11/5/16, 4:47 PM
Jaq said...: Hillary is perfectly acceptable to liberals though, right PB&J? Hundreds of millions of dollars acquired while on the public payroll, mostly through selling inside information about her true positions, you remember from Wikileaks that she always has two positions. One is available for free to the people, the other, her true position, can be learned by paying her or Bill to speak for half an hour.; 11/5/16, 4:47 PM

Yeah, and economics is an exact science and I am sure that that analysis was done in a completely even-handed way. I love how you throw BS numbers out there as if they were facts of nature.

Obamacare didn't cost America "one dime" either! Isn't that right? And everybody's premiums have come down! Economists know everything! Whatever.

Hillary is a fucking criminal who took millions of dollars from people, met with them as Secretary of State, burned the logs of those meetings in state department burn bags, google it. Those were Federal Records that she burned. This is a Federal crime.

She lied to Obama about taking this money as well.

She should be fit for an orange jumpsuit.; 11/5/16, 4:53 PM

I'll buy that theory.

The #NeverTrump movement — strong back at primary time — has completely collapsed in Wisconsin over the last few weeks. Paul Ryan voted for sociopath Trump. Sen. Ron Johnson is supporting sociopath Trump. And, finally, former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson is supporting sociopath Trump.

So that's about all she wrote for Wisconsin NeverTrumpers. Now it's all about stopping the corrupt crooked Clintons. I'm most curious to see if my Bernie friends here in Madison end up turning out for Hillary. My gut says... no.; 11/5/16, 7:00 PM
Curious George said...: For a state that's supposedly decided both are running tons of ads.; 11/5/16, 7:08 PM

Meade said...: My scientific study of yard signs in Madison shows, for every yard with both a Hillary sign and a RUSS (Feingold) sign, 7 with only a RUSS sign and no Hillary. Madison Berners hate Clinton even more than Trumpians do.; 11/5/16, 7:17 PM

Meade said...: "I can understand them not voting for Trump, but in light of what has come to light how can Bernie himself support her any longer?"

I know. I have the same question. I think a few will vote for Hillary in order to ensure a peaceful Thanksgiving with family and friends in case sociopath Trump wins. But most of my Bernie friends will not. They might be socialists but they're socialists with integrity and self-respect.; 11/5/16, 7:28 PM

They tried to damage Trump as much as they could, but have to go through the motions of perfunctorily supporting Trump at the end - because its close.

Do you think people like me will ever forget how Ryan tried to destroy trump after the "grabbing Pussy" tape came out?

The NEVER TRUMPERS are dead to a lot of conservatives like me. Trump may lose, but he's changed the Republican party forever. I used to like Glenn Beck, now he will forever be Cheetos McCuck.; 11/5/16, 7:28 PM

Talking to a lot of them in person are you? Because I don't think so. Maybe some, but not all by any means.; 11/5/16, 8:38 PM
Gusty Winds said...: Interesting. Madison Socialists with integrity can vote Jill Stein on Tuesday knowing it helps Trump, who they do not think is as sociopathic as they publicly proclaim. I'd imagine the virtue signaling required in Madison is exhausting.

And they know damn well that much of his battle against entrenched elites is the same as Bernie's. His fight for the working middle class much the same as Bernie's. Trump's working middle class are miners and steel workers, Bernie's faculty and students. Trump's fight against voter fraud and Clinton corruption is where they split. Bernie is now part of the corruption. Engulfed by it. Stockholm syndrome perhaps.

When the Clinton machine kicked in to screw Trump, the sociopath pushed back. Bernie bent over and abandoned his movement and his $27 supporters. Bernie enjoyed the soft petting from the media during the primary, and never intended to fight it out. He was the 'good' outsider. There must be some shock and shame in that among Bernie enthusiasts who thought he was genuine. He flopped like a fish. No socialist is truly genuine. Deep down they know it, and why they shout Shame! at everyone else.

If Madison's socialist have enough integrity to risk Hillary losing Wisconsin, then it's true they have more integrity than Bernie.; 11/5/16, 8:39 PM

Yah, I already nuked the sockpuppet's Vox angle in that thread. And now you are making the rubble bounce. Nicely done.

Sykes would be well-advised to keep a low profile in his new retirement. If Trump loses, the only thing left for people like me to do is tear down the GOPe. Sure, the Dems are thieves. But the GOP has betrayed us. There is a reason we only incarcerate thieves. Traitors we hang.; 11/5/16, 9:30 PM

When confronted with the cheating that Clinton did to win the primary, more cheating came out in yesterday's Wikileaks BTW, he said the thing that Clinton supporters always say when caught bending or breaking the rules "Politics ain't beanbag." It's a big saying among Clinton operatives. He exulted at the "grind Sanders to a pulp" leak.

I do not know where your mental health training comes from. Calling Trump a sociopath seems ridiculous to me, a long-time licensed psychologist. He is a narcissist (like all politicians) and an oaf who does not understand many nuances of politics and policy, nor does he care to.

The Clintons are clearly sociopaths, from the beginning. There is no question about that.

I am hoping that you were being sarcastic or ironic or ... whatever. If otherwise, my respect for your intelligence has greatly diminished.; 11/6/16, 1:52 PM

You are technically correct. I cannot make a diagnosis without a clinical interview. I called upon clinical training and experience which makes my PERSONAL OPINION pretty easy.

I was making a pretty good guess, based on 30+ years experience. You were making a pretty bad guess (IMHO) based on what?; 11/6/16, 3:34 PM
