From what I've read so far the leaks are not even in HRC's words but ideas being kicked around by various sections of her campaign- some of whom don't even agree on strategies.

 

Those in Trump's camp sound more desperate every day, as evidenced by those videos posted on previous pages of Trump campaign surrogates giving wild and ridiculous excuses for the latest scandal. Only Trump's ardent supporters (sleepy Ben Carson and Chris Christie, who most likely won't have a job in public service come the next gubernatorial election) who are determined to support his tomfoolery come hell or high-water are believing this nonsense. As for Trump's base, Clinton was never going to convince people who are that irrational anyway.

 

Warren Buffett called Trump's bluff and released his tax return, putting a giant pin-prick in Trump's whopping balloon of a lie.  For once, Trump has had no response on this.

Marcel Pariseau, a partner at True Public Relations, who has a number of high-profile female clients, including Scarlett Johansson, wrote on Facebook: "He was rude and lewd to a few female clients of mine. Boycotting the 9 a.m. hour of the Today show."

 

So it's not like he was just going along with Trump he has his own history. Wow.

Yeah, I read that article. Rumors are the Today crew didn't like him when he came aboard. He has been rather rude to many celebrities during his career. It looks like his onscreen persona is different from his real life.

When the top of the ticket spews hate in every direction, I think this is the kind of thing we are going to be seeing more of for awhile. I'm hoping our country can come out stronger in the long term, but in the short term I think it's just going to be ugly. I'm really not looking forward to the wave of misogyny I see coming over the next several years.

This is alarming.  First he threatens Hillary with imprisonment, and now any perceived political threat is removed by any means necessary.  I'm no fan of the Republican Party, but this is unprecedented and needs to stopped.  

 

Its time for R leadership to remove him from the ticket.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
