"Big Names Campaigning for Hillary Clinton Underscore Donald Trump’s Isolation."

A NYT headline that could so easily be rewritten pro-Trump.

Damn straight it could. HRC has in fact gotten all the big names, all the stars, and all the mondo cash. I remember when it was Obama who had all the little donors, and that was a point in his favor. Now it's Trump who has them, and ... crickets. But in both cases, who was on the other side? Hillary, of course. She and her husband have amassed more sheer cash post-office than anyone else in history. But, hey, that's OK, because they left the White House "dead broke."

LYNNDH said...

If it means "Movie Stars" or "Entertainers" supporting her, then we do certainly get what we deserve. Most of them are not know for their intelligence or knowledge. My only wish is that they too get what they deserve.

Gahrie said...

One of the few things I like about Trump is that he makes all the right enemies.

Achilles said...

NYT probably doesn't realize we don't feel isolated anymore. Being isolated from a corrupt political elite is a good thing.

traditionalguy said...

What it reveals is fear of group exclusion.

Hillary has the actors and actresses who while not really knowing her, fear the media bosses. Trump has the ones who have know him for 30 years and do not fear anything.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Hillary captures the mega-corporate/mega-wealthy pop star and the leftwing hollywooders. It's notable how many more stay quiet.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I think it's fair we remember these "stars" who support total full-on corruption.

That's a bug, not a feature. Celebrities, elites, mystics, social justice adventurists, and journolists, foreign and domestic, are increasingly assessed as first-order causes of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change that threatens progressive wars, immigration reform, mass abortion, extrajudicial trials, class diversity, devaluation of capital and labor, progressive corruption, etc.

The Big People supporting Hillary are exactly the people who should be in prison for life without possibility of parole. This time around the Trump supporters will use ballots, if that fails they're will use bullets.

Achilles said...

A corrupt isolated elite.

“I think it’s an interesting question to ask if the FBI were a more diverse place, would Comey have been facing this insurrection? I don’t think so,” she continued.

"“Women and people of color are going to save this nation basically, like, because we’re immune to the call of this, you know, schizophrenic, you know, psychopath, um, bigot.”

“It’s unprecedented. It’s the weaponization of transparency in a way. It’s one thing, it’s really disturbing,” she posed to Hall. “You expect Russia to tamper with our elections, I guess, but don’t expect the FBI to.”

They are bad people.

Let me see. I'm not in there with them, so I guess Trump is with me out here. Got it.

Democrats always get that Hollywood support.

Hubert Humphrey was no Hollywood celebrity, yet in his 1968 candidacy, he had Paul Newman, Abbe Lane, etc.

Curious George said...

From the link: "In Fayetteville, N.C., Mr. Obama implored voters to turn out and cast ballots before the end of early voting on Saturday"

Reality:

"Campaigning for Hillary yesterday, Obama mentions himself 207 times"

Bill Peschel said...

As usual, Drudge makes his point simply by linking:

Celebs Make Final Profanity-Filled Plea...
De Niro Hillary Hissy Fit...


The latter story is about De Niro refusing to pose with Schwarzenegger for a photo for politics.

Note that Schwarzenegger has already tweeted that he hadn't decided, but that he wasn't voting for Trump.

That wasn't enough for that pissy little dink.

Big Mike said...

@Gahrie, "we love him for the enemies he has made" worked for Grover Cleveland in 1884. Maybe history can repeat itself.

Trump may enforce the tax on Swag Bags.

shiloh said...

Wondering how many bridges have been burnt in the Trump "Empire". Hillary has had 24/7 scrutiny for the past (30+) years. *If* Trump loses his scrutiny will reach critical mass!

He'll be out on an island, but hey, the FBI loves him er hates Hillary.

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan!

Too funny if wikileaks releases all his tax returns ...

Unknown said...

So, this one is out of left field. Apparently the Clinton campaign is into occult blood sex practices. Or at least John Podesta. Like they are worshipping Crowley.

And this is from Wikileaks, not rantings from some nowhere conservative person; it's actual names and places and dates where Podesta attended some sort of "Spirit party."

The rumor I'm not buying (yet) is the pedophile orgies that apparently Hillary and Bill are on video as participating.

But if that's true.... holy cow. I'd love to see Shiloh's remarks about that.

Let me give it a try: While Hillary Clinton's Campaign is Beholden to a Few Elites, Trump Enjoys Massive Grassroots Support

shiloh said...

"But if that's true.... holy cow. I'd love to see Shiloh's remarks about that."

Keep hope alive!

Will said...

Celebrities bear negative weight with at least half his country. Like with the media, there is a growing element ready to blackball and ridicule anything these posers want to pose with.

I'm pretty ready to discount anything Lena Dunham says or does.

Never forget that somewhere, some Executive Producer and a lot of financial backers had to greenlight "Water World", the spectacular definition of Holywood failure. A campaign is kind of like the bubble that occurs on a movie set; it is all image and narrative, but sometimes the insincerity of the product just leaps off the screen and revolts the audience.

So it is with Hillary. She is the Water World of politics, and with some perspective people will marvel that anyone ever gave her the green light or that she would play in Peoria.

Achilles said...

Hillary has had 24/7 scrutiny for the past (30+) years.

And the only reason she is not in jail for numerous felonies is wealth, power, and idiot supporters willing to destroy the rule of law for her.

Unknown said...

Heh. So here Shiloh is, admitting that her reaction to a video of Hillary and Bill raping little children would be "Keep hope alive"! That Hillary would win, no doubt.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I would assume that if such a video exists (and frankly, I doubt it! Bill? Maybe. Hillary? Probably not.) that most people would abandon Hillary at that point.

But then, most leftists cheer Roman Polanski, so who knows? Celebrity after all apparently trumps morality.

I'm hoping Trump will deport John Oliver.

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Why Shiloh, hello! I was just looking at the RCP polls for NH. It's Trump 43.4 vs. Clinton 41.8. Why, what a surprise! She was up by 46 to 41.3 on Nov. 1. I can't imagine why she dropped over 4 points since then. Whatever could have happened?

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Heh. So here Shiloh is, admitting that her reaction to a video of Hillary and Bill raping little children would be "Keep hope alive"! That Hillary would win, no doubt."

I have the feeling Shiloh could watch a video of Hillary and Bill raping one of her relatives - minor or not - and she'd still shill for Hillary.

She's loyal that way.

Howard said...

When the polls get tight and an indictment looms, it's nice to know that the national media has Hillary's back. She can't possibly lose.

NYT does it's very best to back the narrative with stunning visuals:

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Well, we all know how virtuous movie and rock stars are in their own personal lives - how faithful they are to their spouses, how kind they are to underlings, how wholesome and innocent their amusements are. No broken families, fucked up children, bitter custody battles,or drug or alcohol abuse at all, nosiree.

They're certainly entitled to preach morality and ethics to the rest of us.

Howard said...

No Vance, Shit-Low's comment is down-low obsequious by pointing out that you are keeping your hope alive to see kiddie porn. You are just too caught up in your own vile, filthy mind you didn't realize you just told the internets you were drooling for snuff films. What a Perv.

Howard said...

Right -On, Darrell. Shit-Low is prolly a draft dodger in addition to being dumber than a Trump customer. Tell him off with your own en flagellant dialecto stories of military service.

Howard said...

exiledonblandstreet: Yeah, an also they can just grab the pussy too. Fuckers. They make me feel so small with their white teeth, fat wallets and multiple trophy wives. It's Trump clones supporting Hitlary.

Howard said...

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Rock stars, especially, have revealed that under that "Born To Be Wild" horseshit, they're all good little statists who are just fine with the status quo. Why wouldn't they be? They're rich. So now we have Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John entertaining heads of state, Sir Bob Geldof on his yacht flipping the finger to struggling British fisherfolk and Paul ("A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest") Simon serenading the DNC. They exhibit perhaps the single most irritating trait of leftist boomers - having their cake and eating it too. They're part of the Establishment while still maintaining the conceit of rebelliousness and nonconformity.

I really liked it when Dylan seemed to be ignoring the Nobel Prize people. I thought "aha, the last true '60's individualist!" Alas, not...

Howard said...

Achilles writes a new slogan: Hillary is a lying, cheating son-of-a-bitch... but she's our son-of-a-bitch

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

"They make me feel so small"

You are small, Howard. A little gamma male.

Howard said...

Fuck Yeah: Trump building a country club 6-miles from Chappaqua to play mulligans with Bubba... having Hitlary and BJ at his latest wedding to a transylvania trannie... WTF does he he is??? a TV Star???

Howard said...

ouch that wheelie wheelie hurts pwease stop

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

You sound a little hysterical Howard. You should put some ice on it.

There are some leftists with integrity, like this guy:

And then there are leftists like Howard and Shiloh, with their mouths glued to Hillary's rectum, willing to swallow whatever she shits out.

Howard said...

Projection arguments, good for you. Did your Mommy teach you that?

Gahrie said...

@Gahrie, "we love him for the enemies he has made" worked for Grover Cleveland in 1884. Maybe history can repeat itself.

Considering the enemies mentioned were the corrupt Democratic political machines, let us hope so.

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

"Projection arguments, good for you."

Haha! Howard accuses others of what he has been doing, with his lame, childish sarcasm, throughout this thread.

Where's the projection? I'm wary of Trump but think Hillary is far worse. You are defending an amoral, corrupt hag whose only real accomplishment besides running interference for her philandering husband has been enriching herself by peddling influence, just because she's a Democrat.

dreams said...

Well, there is this.

"Fast forward to today when as noted earlier, the S&P500 has declined nine consecutive trading days, the first time it has done so since 1980. But more importantly, this is how the market has performed in the past 3 months:

The chart above, which shows that the S&P has fallen some 4.5% over the critical three month period, suggests that based on this indicator, Trump has a roughly 86% chance of winning the presidential election. Alternatively, if only looking at the eight distinct cases in which the market declined in the 3 months heading into the election, there was just one occasion in which the pattern did not hold and the incumbent party was booted out on 7 of those occasions, boosting Trump's implied odds of success even higher, to 87.5%."

Congrats!


Apparantly blood drinking while raping kiddies while chanting and dancin' naked around the flagpole/ Not classy, like in "Eyes Wide Shut", but real degenerate stuff like in True Detective, or typical boomer-hippy hootenanny.

Like immigrant Grandma used to say."They couldn't print it if it wasn't true, THEY COULD GET SUED!"

I read it earlier, and my take wasn't pro-Trump, although I see your meaning.

It's alright Howard. It's alright. The reason people like you and Shiloh and the others are swarming out of your holes and spazzing is because you sense impending defeat. Win Lose or Draw, you want to get your rocks off spreading nastiness and doing whatever you can to grease the skids for Shelob.

It's no surprise. Fish Gotta Swim. We're not mad because we've got your number. So do what you feel...you have no other ideas.

I've been saying this is the first Hunger Games election for months on end now.

Yancey Ward said...

Achilles nails with his first comment. I wonder if the writers of the article really don't understand that Trump isn't alone. As propaganda, Althouse is correct- this is accidentally pro-Trump rather than anti-Trump.

traditionalguy said...

Big names are so special. Saturday is D Day for exposing Hillary and Bill or for the killing of the witnesses that are making deals and turning on them. In other words, Huma's suicide watch clock is ticking.

Whatever you say ARM.

You have had a rough day. The worst part for you is win or lose Tuesday you are an empty shell. You don't have any integrity or core values. Your side cares only about power and control. You never actually help people when you have power. You never actually improve anything. You just try to collect more money and power. You are constantly dishonest and eventually there is nothing left.

WestVirginiaRebel said...

Yeah, Donald Trump doesn't have anyone-except for the voters...

tim maguire said...

Boss Tweed had to complete grand projects to keep the graft machine churning. With supporters like Shiloh, Boss Clinton will have no need of such distractions. We're much more efficient today.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

It was some sitcom. Maybe Seinfeld, where the joke was "my TIVO thinks I'm gay." Or maybe it was a New Yorker cartoon.

Doesn't matter.

Wasn't one of the promises of the modern information age that advertisers would be able to tailor their messages so we'd get only what we wanted to get?

Jesus fuck! What if that's true? And what if it applies to the news as well?

I must have died and . . . I AM LIVING IN HELL!!1!11!!1!111

shiloh said...

"What kind of criminality do you think you'll find"

None, but it will probably show Trump is not as wealthy as he claims, gives no $$$ to charity, has been dealing directly w/the Russian govt. for many years.

He already admitted he hasn't paid federal taxes the past (20) years so that point is moot.

ie there's obviously many things in his returns that will outright embarrass him otherwise he would have already released them.

shiloh said...

"Shiloh is A Reasonable Man is Shiloh!"

Althouse, your con flock is soooo frickin' stupid they think the very few libs who post here are all the same person which is slightly amusing.

Especially considering there's not an iota of difference among most of your regular con lemmings. Which is why I skip over about 80% of the whining fools. A great time saver.

Obviously they can't skip over us because then they would just be muttering among themselves which would be quite exciting, eh. Actually that's what many of them do here as they are totally isolated in their own little world er faux reality.

Although I am quite reasonable.

Saw that too. Apparently, not supporting Trump isn't good enough for Hillary sycophants.

Hillary has had 24/7 scrutiny for the past (30+) years.

Not from the press she hasn't. They happily accepted whatever lies she peddles and submits stories to her aides for approval.

None, but it will probably show Trump is not as wealthy as he claims, gives no $$$ to charity, has been dealing directly w/the Russian govt. for many years.

So, outside of the first bullet point, he's a Clinton.

He already admitted he hasn't paid federal taxes the past (20) years so that point is moot.

He hasn't. There are plenty of other federal taxes. But I doubt you'll follow, so I won't continue.

ie there's obviously many things in his returns that will outright embarrass him otherwise he would have already released them.

Like Hillary and her Goldman speeches? Or the Clinton Foundation's books?

tim in vermont said...

The fact that he is drawing thousands "by himself" clearly indicates that the isolation they are invoking has to do with isolation from the elite, the people who count. The ones who give great parties, Gatsby style parties.

tim in vermont said...

here's obviously many things in his returns that will outright embarrass him otherwise he would have already released them.

LO FUCKIN L. Unlike the tens of thousands of emails under subpoena that Hillary destroyed! Right? You have to give Clinton credit for staight out bald faced balls. She is complete disaster, as the "shit show" (Obama's words) that she created in Libya, the huge refugee crisis she she has created... I could go on.

Let me quote her Goldman Sachs talk as to her approach to the Syrian civil war: "Who [sic] do you arm?" That was her question.

tim in vermont said...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/20/mediterranean-refugees_n_5843372.html

"Why thousands of refugess are drowning in the Mediterranean this year."

No mention of Hillary's overthrow of Qaddafi. "We came! We saw! He died! [Chortle, guffaw!] - HRC

I bet they figured that Hillary's destruction of a functioning government in one country, and arming a side in a civil war in another country had nothing whatsoever to do with it, so these Hillary policies were simply not worth mentioning!

tim in vermont said...

I just don't understand why the Democrats sold their soul to the Clintons. But they have, no point thinking about it now.

Gusty Winds said...

I guess drawing huge crowds and millions of votes is now isolation.

The blessing of Robert Deniro is required for inclusion.

Martin said...

Lack of support from mindless celebrities is an advantage for Trump, in my mind.

The fact that the NYT hates him doubles the effect.
