Newspaper front pages at a newsstand in Philadelphia this morning.

[onehandle]

Blurry, because I was walking quickly to a meeting.

Free advertising for Hillary.

[oldandhappy]

1. WOW!!

[Agschmid]

11. It's very exciting!

Go Hillary!

[Chemisse]

2. Clearly the day was a win for her in several ways.

We'll see what the Republicans hatch up next.

[duhneece]

73. Seeing a Dem candidate on ALL of those newspapers instead of a R candidate made me smile.

A good day to be Dem...well, everyday is a good day to be a Dem...
I know I will wholeheartedly support the Dem candidate (otherwise, why be on DU, huh?) and all the time on DU spent arguing why you support one over the other is time away from participating in your local Dem party, attending local city, county, state, and all the agencies in between meetings. If you spend a whole year on DU arguing, you are missing the chance to change your world. (and mine)

[99Forever]

3. So...

... what exactly does this have to do with the Democratic Primaries?


Hey, just askin'.

[Agschmid]

4. Lol.

Well to start I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton is running in them.

[99Forever]

5. So no actual answer then?

Statement of Purpose

A forum for general discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries. Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden.

Wanna try again?

[Agschmid]

8. Let me rephrase...

The leading candidate in the democratic primary was featured on almost all major news papers today, on the cover, in a positive way.

I judge that as relevant to the democratic primary especially since it will likely improve her position in democratic primary polling.

Should you feel differently you could always send an SOP alert.

A lot of times the SOP isn't quite followed, IMO this isn't that case.

I think that's a pretty fair answer.

[99Forever]

12. There was no mention of the Democraic Primary on any of them.

So, no sir, the SOP wasn't followed by any measure.

But then, when it comes to Hillary, unlike the little people, rules really don't apply. Right?

[Agschmid]

16. I think that every article included something like this...

As the weather cools and presidential candidates enter the last 100 daysbefore the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton seems to be slipping back into that warm cloak of inevitability.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2015/10/23/hillary-clinton-very-very-very-good-week/xdtRqDk4lx7nYr1z9yrdRO/story.html

HEY LOOK! Something about the primary (it's in every article, from every newspaper, especially those pictured)...

Sure it's probably not great news for Sanders (in case you don't know he is also a primary candidate).

[99Forever]

20. You can read that from that picture?

Well pardon the fuck out of me, I must have a really crappy monitor.



Never mind.

[Agschmid]

22. No but there is this cool thing called "Google"...

I hear Sanders was trending on it the other day, you should check it out.

[99Forever]

24. Check it out?

I hate to have to break this to you bud, my brother works for Google. But go right ahead and say some more condescending bullshit to me. I'm so fucking impressed I might wet myself.

[Agschmid]

25. I'll bring towels next time.

Maybe a ShamWow?

ETA: A ShamWow image

[Spazito]

32. LOL...

just lol.

Sour grapes are difficult to eat at times, I understand.

[sheshe2]

30. The first one says

Hillary seeks to close the book on Benghazi inquiry



Benghazi hearings are now Meta here?

Are you saying this has nothing to do with the primary? The GOP has tried to destroy her so they can win. Nothing to do with the primary? You are kidding, correct? Meta?

Holy Shite!

So no actual answer then?




Statement of Purpose

A forum for general discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries. Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden.

Wanna try again?

Maybe you wish to try again. Take a breath and start over. Your post was over the top. The GOP is over the top trying and lying about Hillary Clinton. What they did was illegal and you cry META.

[Agschmid]

43. META!

META!

Seriously?

I know right.

[yallerdawg]

49. I still don't know what...

meta-discussion is?

Is it something about telling administrators and moderators what to do, or talking about the rules rather than the subject of the OP, which is to discuss anything related to this Democratic Primary candidate?

I just don't know...

[sheshe2]

50. Yup!

Silly~

[JTFrog]

55. There was no disruptive meta going on until you started this subthread.

*kick*

[yallerdawg]

57. Yes, exactly!

A Democratic Primary candidate notably hit the front page of every newspaper after being in an 11 hour grilling by rightwing operatives - and persevered - well, that is noteworthy and great material for General Discussion related to a Primary candidate.

[riderinthestorm]

6. A front running candidate is dominating every front page

of every major print newspaper in a major metropolitan area isn't GDP news???

I definitely think it's relevant.

Go Hillary!!

[99Forever]

7. Explain:

Statement of Purpose

A forum for general discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries. Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden.

[riderinthestorm]

19. I've not declared for any candidate

so "hard" realities of demonstrable impact on a campaign seems relevant.

Hillary testified.

Front pages of the MSM explode.

That must mean there's some campaign impact



MSM reaction seems to be part of the process.

[Agschmid]

21. Might be smarter not to declare on DU...

Tough crowd.

[Agschmid]

10. They will just disagree with you...

It's a sport for some.

[George II]

35. You didn't hear the news? Hillary Clinton dropped out!!!!

[SidDithers]

41. ...

Sid

[William769]

68. That the GOP tried and failed miserably to take down the Democratic primary front runner.

Well you asked but I suspect you won't like the answer though.

[Agschmid]

9. I will now kick the shit out of this thread...

Apparently posting positive news about the leading candidate in the democratic primary is now against the SOP.

Go figure?!?

[DURHAM D]

14. lol

Its just not a good time for some.

[Agschmid]

17. Apparently not at all.

Now we are moving on to the attempted censorship phase?

[sheshe2]

26. Yup

[murielm99]

36. Why? What happened?

[Agschmid]

37. I was told that this thread was a violation of the SOP.

It's laughable, at this point.

Then when I called them on it, apparently they "wet their pants"

Next time I'll bring a ShamWow.

[yallerdawg]

40. This rack of front page Hillary's...

Democratic presidential primary candidate, who apparently, made the front pages of every newspaper...

...is now on the Front Page of DU "Trending Now"!

Even more people will be able to comment on this wondrous event!

Thanks for the OP, onehandle!!!!

[Agschmid]

42. Oh wow!

That's great.

[yallerdawg]

47. Thanks for your support...

and the special attention to assure we all get to share in such a momentous occasion of such a special Democratic Primary event!

One day you can be the target of vicious attacks and unscrupulous innuendo, the next day you can be on top of the world!

Remarkable!

[SunSeeker]

45. I guess SOP must stand for "Sanders Only Primary" forum.

LOL

[sheshe2]

51. HA!

[brer cat]

65. Thanks for the link in HRC group.

I usually avoid GD-P, but this thread needs another kick!

[leftofcool]

13. Kicking this thread!

[Agschmid]

18. Hey thanks!

[oasis]

15. Fabiola!

[Thinkingabout]

23. Kicking, the front runner in DNC Primary is on the front of lots of newspapers.

Good news, looking good.

[Agschmid]

29. Yes it does!

[sheshe2]

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. K&R

[NCTraveler]

31. Free primary campaign advertising. Nt

[Agschmid]

38. Yup it's great!

[workinclasszero]

33. I'm so glad the dumb ass republicans

Put Hillary on national TV for 11 hours last night and let her look presidential as hell and make fools out of all of them!

Hell of a job Gowdy!

[Agschmid]

39. You'd think he would have learned something new...

but nope.

#GowdyFail

[workinclasszero]

61. They just can't help themselves

Idiots

[yallerdawg]

34. Meta...

You betcha!

(what is meta?)

[Cha]

59. ..

[yallerdawg]

60. Cha!

Isn't this a magnificent photo? Every major newspaper singing her praises!

What a turnaround!

[Cha]

62. We have gowdy fail to thank. And, Hillary!

yallerdawg~

[oswaldactedalone]

44. Hillary's great performance

means I'll now be voting for her in the primary. I like Bernie but now he has no shot.

[Agschmid]

48. Great guy, but I agree.

[SunSeeker]

46. Kick!

[Gloria]

52. Kick!

...Rethug ass!

[sheshe2]

53. Hillary, Democratic front runner makes front page news

becomes META on DU.

Hey Skinner, are you still here?

I an truly scared.

[yallerdawg]

54. I found it!

Meta-discussion:

"DISRUPTIVE META-DISCUSSION
Positive threads about Democratic Underground or its members are are permitted.

Threads complaining about Democratic Underground or its members; threads complaining about jury decisions, locked threads, suspensions, bannings, or the like; and threads intended to disrupt or negatively influence the normal workings of Democratic Underground and its community moderating system are not permitted."

Meta is totally unrelated to this OP!

[sheshe2]

56. Wait What?

Are you saying they fibbed???

No one would ever do that here.

Curious, are they trying to get someone a hide on something that is not factual?

Thanks for the info yallerdawg.

[yallerdawg]

58. Abusive, ugly, foul language...

directed provocatively at a fellow DU member could easily get you a hide.

But we know the rules and don't do that, either!

[Cha]

63. BOOOM!

[Sheepshank]

64. Any candidate would pay 6 figures for that type of advertising

....and here it all was. Free and positive, no wonder she got a bump

[stevil]

66. Nice

K&R

[William769]

67. Kick & highly recommended!

[DCBob]

69. Awesome!

[riversedge]

70. Thanks for the post.

[MineralMan]

71. Impressive publicity for the leader in the campaign.

This belongs in GDP. It's about the leading candidate. It's not going to get locked by the hosts.

[onehandle]

72. Of course. I ignored the naysayer subthread. nt

[treestar]

74. K&R

Totally cool!
