Anyone else see the discussion on Morning Joe about Trump not leaving WH if he is defeated?

I was surprised they devoted so much time to that discussion. James Carville, sometimes treated as a wanna be comedian, was pretty certain Trump wouldn't voluntarily leave and William Kristol also thought so. Strange bedfellows, those two.

They were laying out possible scenarios of how his resistance would happen but thought it was near certain.

Couldn't find the segment on youtube. Does anybody have it? It was pretty fascinating stuff.

It was almost a clarion call to Americans that this guy will not leave the WH voluntarily and to be prepared for the worst. Not that we can do anything about it except start talking about it more and perhaps get some of the worst of his advisors to tell Trump to quit. And I mean Kellyanne Conway, to be specific...

Thu Jul 2, 2020, 01:01 PM
Jul 2020

Putin KNOWS the turd is going to lose. He was shocked his social media lies and manipulations of actual voter tallies of the EC enabled the turd to win the first time. (Yes, I believe he did manipulate actual votes, too much evidence to say he didn't. You think it was coincidence that just enough votes in EXACTLY the right states, allowed 70,000 votes outweigh 3,000,000? Bullshit.)

So after the shitshow of his first term, Putin has no delusions about a second term.

But Putin DOES see great opportunity for more chaos, more divisiveness, more destruction to the foundation of the USofA.

If the turd tries the martial law route and refuses to leave, it would be Putin's wet dream. He could finally claim us as the latest satellite state of Russia, the USofR. At least for a very short time, until the turd is dragged out of the White House in handcuffs.

Putin doesn't want the turd in Russia. He would be nothing but a non-stop pain in the ass. The turd would think he could continue The Donnie Two-Scoops Show from there. So he would stumble out that 4th floor window, or accidentally eat a hamberder full of polonium. That would be TOO obvious, even for Putin.

If he is smart, the turd will flee to Saudi Arabia before handcuffs are involved. If not... Say La Vie

A target of say “affluent women , age 35-55” I’m not sure how political leanings factor in. iSometimes they might appear to miss because it may be part of a big ad buy. It’s quite complex...media is one of the more quantitate aspects of advertising. Here’s a link to describe the process. It’s pretty scientific and automated. I’ve worked in marketing and advertising for many years and seen lots of media plans. The media outlet has nothing to do with the ads that are run.
Here’s a link if you wanted a little primer.

Thu Jul 2, 2020, 02:24 PM

Not nationally on MSNBC.

Just as with the regular broadcast networks, which allot several minutes to their local affiliates every hour to sell and air local ads (that's when you'll see the commercials for local car dealers or the like), the cable networks do the same, allotting time every hour to the various local cable systems that carry the network, Time Warner, Spectrum, Comcast, etc.

They have no say on them and likely aren't even aware of them.

But even with national ads airing on the full network, unless the ad violates a particular standard it has set, the network itself will usually not prevent an ad from running on one of its shows. Republican money works as well as Democratic money.

As previously noted, unless it violates a standard they set, they will air it. Sorry, but that's the advertising business. You don't have to watch the channel if its ads upset you.

not sure why everybody suggests there is a constitutional role in the Military to enforce judgments. I think that would be bad precedent at least until orders from a Court are issued AFTER attempts are made by the US Marshal Office to serve Trump with Orders for him to evacuate

to keep viewers interested and talking so they come back for "follow-ups." And watch the commercials.

Sure there's a chance he would do anything, but these shows need to keep viewers coming back.

I worry about what kind of damage a defeated and 'humiliated' trump* might actually be capable of attempting to cause. Hopefully the non-related people surrounding him are going to put country first.

And I have some concern about how his cult will be lashing out.

I could never get why folks were so concerned about the possibility of Trump not leaving the White House if he is defeated. If Biden wins election as president, Trump becomes a private citizen. Biden answered the question better than anyone: the military will remove Trump if he refuses to leave. I believe the outgoing president always gets a free ride home. I was hoping the military would let Trump fly out with the paratroopers and just jettison him over Mar-A-Lago. At least it beats a ramp walk.
