New Yorkers Lining Up for Trump

Disappointing remark from Clinton. I guess she's probably still a little bitter.
Every time she speaks, Dems seem poll lower. She has to know how preposterous “the Bund rally” claim is. Otherwise, Hilary must truly believe Trump is the reincarnation of that Austrian corporal.

I don’t think she believes it. But I do think she wants others to believe it.

And, in the next breath, she’ll wax poetic about how coarse our political dialogue has become…and no Dems or media folks will say a word about the hypocrisy.
 
You’re smarter than this. At least I thought so.
Smarter than what? I didn’t watch the video. Don’t care. That’s The Godfather. He was approached by Suge Knight to start a label. So they basically just found randoms in their hood, Dr Dre, 2 pac, and snoop dog. Out of absolutely nothing they built a label and how much fame and fortune for each of those guys. Harris and suge were the founders and brains behind getting it all going

Spot on.

No that black guy on the cover was the brains behind all that west coast rap/hip hop etc. They call him The Godfather. I basically years ago swapped out fiction for stories about start ups - all industries. As I said it’s crazy how much wealth and fame flowed from all that, from nothing. That guy and suge knight got it all going

I think he’s an addiction specialist guy now
 
Is he supposed to be a stand-up comic warming up the crowd?

ETA: Yes, he is. They brought in a white comic who does racial humor. At a presidential rally. That was already being billed as a Nazi rally.

This is the #1 reason to vote against Trump: his lack of common sense or laziness in not thinking things through (that extends to his campaign). This could flip a few thousand votes in all the swing states. What a colossally stupid thing to do.

It plays with people who don’t have a stick up their ass. Further cements the GOP as the counter-culture, live and let live party.

Those that require fainting couches need not apply.

His campaign has already distanced himself from it, so I guess they, too, need fainting couches?

As a "businessman" whose big argument for the Presidency is his amazing executive management skills, he's got terrible executive managements skills. This goes alongside Four Seasons Total Landscaping and sharing top secret intelligence by iPhone flashlight on the patio at Mar-a-Lago in the hall of colorful examples of his idiocy/lack of interest in any sorts of details.

I guess that's what you get when you run a guy whose actual primary success is licensing his name.

I could be wrong, but I don't think these clips are going to be a net overall plus in swing states.
That’s unfalsifiable, they won’t be asking “What did you think of Tony Hinchcliffe’s set?” during exit polling.

People can hurl accusations of racism at Trump until they’re blue in the face, meanwhile the poll numbers with minorities just continue to go up.

There’s a disconnect somewhere. My theory is that treating any racial group as delicate flowers is patronizing and transparent.

Surprise, surprise, your theory is the one that makes you feel okay with white people telling racist jokes.

Meanwhile, Brad is almost certainly right. To the extent this rally has any effect on the vote at all, these clips won't help Trump. MAGA has for years been vigorously defending against accusations of racism. That defense gets a lot more difficult now.

The headline from the event is racist jokes when trump is trying to appeal to blacks and Hispanics. There are no words for how stupid this was

I like Tony as a comic. His Kill Tony show that he put together is pretty good and it does a lot of great work for the comedy world. Had he told those jokes in a comedy club with drinks flowing I am guessing the response would be way different to non existent.

However, he told those jokes at a campaign rally. That can be viewed by anyone. For a party that's trying to court Latino voters. For a party trying to shed the idea that they are the party of racist. Just a really dumb move by pretty much everyone involved.

The PR joke was bad. Juvenile. Not witty or clever. Got groans from the crowd. I doubt it would do any better in a club.

I agree with this (although I have to say I'd never heard of him before this).

You're certainly right that we have different standards for different contexts. If he'd have told these same jokes at a comedy club or on his show or somewhere we typically go for stand-up comedy, nobody would've batted an eye. He probably wouldn't have told them on The Tonight Show or somewhere like that. But he probably would've told them on, say, a Netflix show.

But, yeah, wrong place, wrong time, wrong context.

Maybe. But that's not really what he was getting at. I think what he was getting at is that nobody would be shocked to hear a stand-up comedian utter these kinds of things in the context of a standard act. And I think that's right.

To be quite honest, I don't think too many people are truly shocked about what he said in this context. But, as with all things political, these sorts of things will be used as fodder from the opponent....which is aimed at those who are or who might be. And I'm sure the Trump Campaign wasn't thrilled that he did it....but it makes you wonder how much vetting they did of what he planned to say. I'd guess they didn't do much, if any.
