Trump was elected president because it's like a movie? That's completely nuts.
> Clinton’s team of cognitive scientists and professional persuaders did a terrific job of framing Trump as scary.
Uh, no, Trump did that himself. He said the things he said [1] and did the things he did [2]. As I minority, I feel deeply alienated from people who take this as just theater, who have stood by as this man has fanned the flames of bigotry. That's an incredible privilege.

- caminante 10y agoDid you see the email released yesterday explicitly revealing HRC's campaign strategy? [0] They targetted framing Trump as a "pied piper" candidate going back to April 2015.

- acjohnson55 10y agoYeah, I read that. They had him, Carson and Cruz figured for it. That's standard operating procedure. I would assume RNC would have loved to have pulled that themselves, with Bernie as a pied piper, and a relatively sane person like Romney as their nominee. They might similarly have been shocked by what might have happened.
