I'm fairly convinced that a lot of what they're doing right now is boundary testing. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 22, 10:02 24

- I think you're right. Whatever they're doing, it is intentional and directed according to some strategy. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 22, 10:09 21
  - I think you're giving them too much credit. I wouldn't trust that group with a lemonade stand. -- nm - VMan Jan 22, 10:15 19
    - I don't question their intelligence at all. These are people who -- quite literally -- beat the best political strategists and thinkers in America. - ReluctantCynic Jan 22, 10:22 14
      - There was a guy on TT ages ago who made a big deal about Rush Hour becoming a huge hit. -- (edited) - David's iPad Jan 22, 10:31 4
        
        I agree that the election was more about Sec. Clinton than Trump. - ReluctantCynic Jan 22, 10:44 3
        
        Agree. Not pure luck, but I don't think even they knew how the campaign would coalesce perfectly as it did. -- nm - VMan Jan 22, 11:03
        
        It wasn't pure luck. It was Comey. - David's iPad Jan 22, 10:58 1
        
        As directed by Putin. (Mostly kidding) -- nm - VMan Jan 22, 11:05
      - Broken clock? Scarily, I think they actually buy into their own BS and have disconnected from the real world. -- nm - VMan Jan 22, 10:24 7
        
        Kellyanne Conway graduated Trinity College, went to Oxford, earned a law degree from George Washington University, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. - ReluctantCynic Jan 22, 10:35 5
        
        Jessica Simpson is a genius. I realize they are smart, well educated people, but I have met and dealt with moronic Ph Ds. -- nm - VMan Jan 22, 10:39 3
        
        I have, too. Hell, I used to work with a ton of them as a patent attorney, and many of the people I interact with are bumbling fools when it ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 22, 10:48
        
        Ben Carson is a neurosurgeon and a moron. -- nm - mud Jan 22, 10:43 1

        I am also not convinced they won because of their strategy. My thought is a lot of people swung Trump based on their own - VMan Jan 22, 10:29

  - Fortunately our media institutions have the backbone to hold them accountable for their rhetoric and not let them walk this back. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 22, 10:13
If so, probably as a how-to guide. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 09:59 3
