2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat was Outrageous yesterday is forgotten today.
You could see it coming right?
Hillarys lead in the battleground states was just too big.
So, the media was looking for something, anything, from the Trump campaign where they could help make it a horse race again.
And, now it's gosh shucks Little Miss Kellyanne.
Isn't it wonderful how she got Donald to...cough..kinda sorta ...apologize for something...he regretted....not sure what it was...but wasn't that great..
Republicans can now all come home now....
Those outrageous things he's been saying for months are forgiven....or they were minor mistakes, or just exaggerations, or just an act to rev up his base, etc etc.
Forget what we said just yesterday that the Gop should forget the Prez race and just concentrate down ballot.
Forget that we have said that Trump is the most unqualified candidate ever.
That is so yesterday.
Today, the Donald has risen from the ashes on Kellyannes wings.
Now, what about that Clinton Foundation. Isn't it just horrible?
Ooh...the polls should really tighten up again. And, the media whores all will rejoice.

(4,404 posts)It's not like they're saying "well he's a good humbled man who apologized", it actually seems to be pushed as, "well, this is his new strategy. Good strategy!".
But they say it like he's a character and this is his new story arc. Its nuts.

(17,314 posts)Trump had dug a hole waaaaay to deep to make a half-hearted apology in an attempt to erase any offensive things he had said. Imagine if he'd stood there at the podium and started rhyming off some of the dumb shit he's put into the public sphere over the past few months. He would have been there all night.
But, yeah, I get your point on how some of the media will approach it. There's less interest in their coverage if the presidential election is turning into a one-sided race.
