This line of attack is so old. The Democrats use celebrities because they get people's attention. Not because they think celebrities are somehow magically smarter than everyone else.Rip wrote:SAVE THE DAY RESPONSE

Speaking at a rally in Nevada, Donald Trump has urged the terminally ill to vote for him. "I don't care how sick you are," the Republican nominee said. "I don't care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning it's over. You won't be around in two weeks. Doesn't matter. Hang out till November 8. Get out and vote."

Sean Hannity has hurled what many of his Fox News Channel viewers would consider an insult at colleague Megyn Kelly: He accused her of being a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Hannity reacted by Twitter on Wednesday night after Kelly had a segment on her show about the presidential candidates tightly controlling press access. She noted that Republican Donald Trump "will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to unsafe spaces these days."
Hannity responded on Twitter, writing "u should be mad at @HillaryClinton. Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u." When another Twitter user told Hannity he should stand by his colleagues, the host said, "Sure. When they stand by me."
Trump has been a frequent Fox guest in recent months, particularly on Hannity and the morning "Fox & Friends" show. Hannity, a conservative talk-show host, has said he supports Trump and has given him campaign advice. He appeared in a Trump campaign video without his network's knowledge, but was told not to do that again.
Trump's rocky road with Kelly, dating to the first GOP primary debate in summer 2015, is well documented. He did appear as an interview subject on a Fox broadcast network special done by Kelly in the spring.
Kelly had no response to Hannity on social media. Fox representatives had no immediate response to requests for comment Thursday.

Donald Trump says Neh-VAH-da, locals say Neh-VAD-ah.
The Republican nominee mispronounced the state's name while lecturing those he thought were saying it incorrectly during a rally in Reno Wednesday night.
Trump made the gaffe in a random tangent during a discussion of Nevada's drug problem.
"Heroin overdoses are surging and meth overdoses in Neh-VAH-da," Trump said. "Neh-VAH-da," he repeated, drawing out the mispronunciation. "When I came out here I said nobody says it the other way. It has to be Neh-VAH-da, right?"
You say douchebag, I say scumbag. Can we please call the whole thing off?Isgrimnur wrote:Nevada

Yeah, it wouldn't be a big deal if he just said it wrong as he was giving a speech or whatever, but he doubled down on how he's right and everyone else is wrong (I don't even know...it's such a bizarre moment, they keep showing it on cable news, and it's just cringe-worthy).GreenGoo wrote:He's trying to ingratiate himself with his audience and totally fucking it up.

To be fair, the same can be said for pretty much everything else that he says while stumping.gilraen wrote:and it's just cringe-worthy

Donald Trump said Wednesday that derogatory statements he has made toward women were all for the sake of “entertainment” and did not reflect his true feelings.
"A lot of that was done for the purpose of entertainment; there's nobody that has more respect for women than I do," the real estate mogul told Las Vegas’ KSNV-TV in an interview taped Wednesday ahead of a rally in Henderson, Nevada.
"Are you trying to tone it down now?" reporter Jim Snyder responded.
"It's not a question of trying; it's very easy," Trump replied.

So...that's good...right?The letter, which is signed by nearly 80 prominent evangelical leaders, thinkers, authors, and pastors, decries Trump’s attacks on women, Muslims, immigrants, refugees, and the disabled, saying such vitriol is an affront to the Christian faith. It also highlights how his campaign has energized white nationalists, such as when he was endorsed by leaders of the Ku Klux Klan.

It's ok though, because it's not like Nevada is vital to his electoral chances or anything.GreenGoo wrote:Imagine he came into your home and started telling you about how he tells people to pronounce your last name, except he's totally saying it wrong.
If we're not going to hold him responsible for all the racist, isolationist, nuclear proliferation crap he spews, at least let us make fun of him when he does something goofy.

Donald Trump's town hall event in New Hampshire is the same general format as Sunday's debate against Hillary Clinton. There's a two-minute clock timing each of his answers. And standing off to the side is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who coaching the Republican presidential candidate for Sunday's showdown.
But Trump is staunchly denying the event has anything to do with preparing for Sunday's town hall-style presidential debate.
Trump told the crowd, "This isn't practice. This has nothing to do with Sunday." He added that "We're just here because we just wanted to be here."
He's also lashing out at rival Hillary Clinton, claiming that she's not really preparing, but "resting."
Trump said he wants "to be with the people from New Hampshire," adding without evidence, "and she wants to rest."
Trump has held only a handful of town hall-style events over the course of his campaign, preferring giant rallies instead.
