Yeah, sadly I did watch the entire clip. I suppose Rudy is really the only high-profile politician with a broad name recognition factor and a degree of creditibility who is willing to advocate for Trump. I mean, Kellyanne Conway is a meaningless surrogate for most Americans, whereas Giuliani's handling of the terrorist attacks on New York City on September 11th, 2001 still endears a certain amount of respect for Giuliani from those outside NYC who probably have little use for him otherwise.
The problem with Rudy, as was evident when he ran for the Republican nomination in the 2008 cycle, is that he really has nothing to offer beyond "I was the Mayor of New York on 9/11"...just the fact that he held office when the attacks happened didn't by proxy give him any great insights (as he demonstrated in his own campaign) into international relations, or economic matters on a national scale, or anything else that was outside of the scope of a big city mayor. The other problem with Giuliani is that he was widely regarded as an asshole up to and including September 10th, 2001. The reasons for that come into sharp focus whenever he has proffered a political opinion after he left office.
He has become more and more unhinged since 2008. I mean, to think that Giuliani for many years was regarded by many hard core conservatives outside The Big Apple as being "too liberal" in terms of his social beliefs. Now, he has hooked up with the Trump campaign and what many New Yorkers felt about him in the years leading up to the terrorist attacks is becoming a shared feeling on a national scale, in a manner that was only hinted at during the 2007-2008 Republican primary cycle. Giuliani is so tethered to Trump that he couldn't even muster himself to be critical of what Trump said on the Billy Bush tapes. Certainly not as critical of Trump's remarks on those tapes as [Giuliani] was over the fact that the tapes had been released in the first place.
I mean, Trump's big name Republican advocates consist of Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich. That in itself is very telling.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Well, if he dropped dead in office, I'd certainly trust Tom Hanks more than either Tim Kaine or Mike "Racist Bannon" Pence.Eat Us And Smile

Meanwhile, Trump was in Geneva, Ohio yesterday afternoon. About 40 minutes east of here, closer to an hour and fifteen minutes from Cleveland. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has no story on the campaign stop, but there's a story about Clinton mobilizing Hollywood in her campaign.
Small town newspaper picked it up though:
Trump hits Clinton on corruption during Spire stop
HARPERSFIELD TOWNSHIP — In an historic moment, Donald Trump reiterated his campaign promise to help America start winning again.
Trump became the first presidential candidate to speak in Ashtabula County in decades, and he brought many of his familiar messages and promises to make American great again, which resonated with the crowd of thousands at Spire Institute, many of whom had been lined up for hours to witness Trump's speech.
Trump entered the stage waving and giving a thumbs up to the crowd to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA."
He started his speech by urging the crowd to "get out and vote."
He said 75 percent of the people think the country is on the wrong track.
"We're going to fix it and we're going to get our country back on the right track very, very quickly," Trump said.
One of the things he said he would do was "immediately replacing and repealing Obamacare," which he called a disaster, approved by lies — "keep your doctor, keep your plan, all lies." He said it was just announced that Americans will see double digit hikes in their Obamacare premiums, and blasted Clinton for her praise of Obamacare.
"It is catastrophic. Replacing Obamacare is one of the single most important reasons that we want to win on Nov. 8," he said.
Trump talked about Clinton and her emails — deleting 33,000 and destroying 13 cell phones — to chants of "lock her up." He also cited media reports about State Department spending, saying Clinton had wasted money, such as $5.4 million on a no-bid contract for crystal stemware, over $200 million on mostly unused police training facilities in Iraq and $79,000 for copies of President Obama's book, among other expenses.
"The elites in government like Hillary Clinton believe they are entitled to do whatever they want," he said, adding Clinton "should be ashamed" about what she had done to the country.
Trump also said the Clintons had made their money after leaving the White House by selling favors, selling access and selling out the American worker. He charged Clinton has never earned an honest dollar.
"She lives the high life off the rigged system," he said. "We're going to give government back to the people."
He hit on many of the points he'd made in past debates and stump speeches, attacking Clinton for calling the Trans-Pacific Partnership the "gold standard" of trade agreements, saying she favored open borders and taking money from foreign donors from oppressive regimes that discriminate against minorities, women and gays.
Trump promised to "stop the theft of our great America and end corruption, expose crimes of the ruling class and give it back to the people."
"When we win on Nov. 8, we are going to Washington D.C. and we are going to drain the swamp," he said, to chants of "drain the swamp."
At one point during the speech the crowd also began chanting "build that wall," and Trump reiterated he would "100 percent" build the wall and that Mexico would pay for it.
Trump complimented the crowd, particularly the "thousands and thousands of people standing outside trying to get it, it's amazing."
Trump spoke specifically about the importance of Ohio.
"I love Ohio, I worked in Ohio. ... I love the people of Ohio," he said, adding, "In 12 days we are going to win Ohio and win back the White House."
He said the state had lost 1 in 4 manufacturing jobs since NAFTA.
"We are living through the single greatest job theft in the history of the world," he said. "We will become a rich nation again."
Trump said America must also be a safe nation. He criticized President Obama for pulling troops out of Iraq and opening the door for Isis to move in. Trump said he will build up the military and provide the military with the equipment and supplies needed to defeat Isis.
"It's time for new leadership," he said, noting the U.S. has spent $6 trillion in the Middle East. "We could have rebuilt America twice."
Trump complimented his choice for a running mate, Mike Pence, saying it was "a great decision" to pick Pence.
He also expressed concern as he told the crowd that Pence's plane slid off the runway earlier in the day.
"But he's fine; everybody is fine," he said.
Trump asked the crowd to renew their faith in the American dream.
"We don't win any more, we don't make things any more," he said. "It's going to change Nov. 8. You have to get out and vote."Last edited by twonabomber; 10-28-2016, 08:47 AM.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

They should put that on the posters, 'A vote for Trump is like a vote for DONNIEP'

I don't think the world is ready for that level of honesty
Actually I'd be a pretty good candidate - I wouldn't try to undo gay marriage or Roe/Wade. I would pass the common sense gun reforms I've outlined here, I would shut down the illegal immigration although I would have a path to citizenship for illegals here who haven't committed any other crimes. And I'd fix Ubamacare and rename it Kick Ass Donniecare and I'd pay for it by kicking all the welfare abusers out of the system and with the money I'd save by cutting off the tap to the Middle East. And that's just the first day in office
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
