2016 elections - because it's never too early

[garbon]

Trump said he "didn't learn anything" from the briefers that would change his views on how to defeat the Islamic State. He said earlier this week that he would task senior military officials with giving him a plan to deal with the militants within 30 days after he takes office.

Cool.

Of course, he then said something differently when pressed by Lauer.

Lauer said, "Yesterday you actually told us a little about your plan. In you speech you said, 'We're going to convene my top generals and they will have 30 days to submit a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS.' So, is the plan you've been hiding this whole time asking someone else for their plan?"

"No," Trump replied. "But when I do come up with a plan that I like and that perhaps agrees with mine or maybe doesn't. I may love what the generals come back with."

"But you have your own plan?" Lauer asked.

Trump replied, "I have a plan. But I don't want — look — I have a very substantial chance of winning ... if I win, I don't want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is."

That manages to be both sad and tremendously hilarious.

Gary Johnson: 'What Is Aleppo?'
NBCNews.com

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, does not know what Aleppo is.

Asked on Wednesday's "Morning Joe" what he would do if elected president about the city in Syria at the center of the refugee crisis, Johnson earnestly asked what Aleppo is even.

"And what is Aleppo?" Johnson said.

"You're kidding me," Mike Barnicle responded, who asked the question. Barnicle then began to explain what Aleppo is to the candidate.

"OK, got it, got it," Johnson cut him off, and then added, "With regard to Syria I do think it's a mess. I think that the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end."

"It's just a mess," he said.

Yes.

Aww, Reince.

RNC chairman on Clinton's town hall: 'no smile and uncomfortable'

Twitter erupted when the Republican National Committee chairman implied that Hillary Clinton should smile more after her appearance on NBC News for a presidential forum on Wednesday night.

"Hillary Clinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets," Reince Priebus tweeted after the event.

@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets.

Tweets:

@Reince Smile sweetie.

Trump attacked US generals and praised Putin and thats ok but Hillary didn't smile enough. Got it.

National moratorium on telling female politicians to smile more, okay? thx

Also, did Trump smile? Is a smile an appropriate response to Qs about the VA and war? Chrissake.

When the best you've got on your opponent is "smile more," that's how you know you've lost tonight's forum.

"In almost every instance"? From two briefings? What?


And "But when I do come up with a plan " followed by "I have a plan"? He should at least wait a couple of minutes between flip flops, what a noob.

Between the hopefully entertaining debates and the inevitable Russian hacking of election systems on election day, this election still promises to deliver so, so much hilarity.

[FunkMonk]

So much hilarity. So much. So much you wouldn't believe how much there is. You'll be begging it to stop, there will so much.
