Wondering who this snively, arrogant cunt is, I get:
Ian Craig Leslie OAM is an Australian television journalist and corporate communicator. He is best known for his 12 years as a member of the original team on 60 Minutes.
Holy shit that was the most entertaining MSM article I've read in a long long time, and admits so much about how they think about people and themselves.
"We use our publicly expressed opinions to signal our intelligence (as well as our virtue and our allegiances), and predicting the more surprising or pessimistic outcome usually makes you seem smarter, at least before the event."
"The more violently he attacks Clinton, the more unstable and unlikeable he seems."
"He certainly won’t make progress with non-white voters. If he wins as many Hispanic and black votes as Romney did – and he very probably won’t – he’ll have to win nearly two thirds of white voters to get to a majority. I just don’t think there are nearly enough angry racist white men in America to get him to the White House."
“We had no idea how removed a large segment of the core GOP electorate has become from the rest of the nation.”
"Trump’s constant bitching about the media isn’t strategically calculated – it’s from the heart."
"Trump is an almost spookily perfect opponent for Hillary Clinton, throwing her strengths into relief and compensating for her weaknesses by being such an enthusiasm-generator for Democrats."
"In fact, I’m still not entirely sure that he is going to be on the ballot come November - he may engineer his own departure from the race."
"The golden rule of politics is that most voters don’t care about politics. Everything follows from this first principle."
"The voters who haven’t already made up their mind are doing all they can to avoid having to think about this referendum. When they finally, reluctantly turn their minds to it, the golden rule will kick in."
"This immediately makes the sovereignty argument irrelevant, and possibly counter-productive. People are not longing for more democracy, because more democracy sounds suspiciously like more politics."
"Many voters will put off having an opinion until the last minute, and when they do they will look for the option that involves the least thought, and the least risk, possible. That usually means sticking, not twisting. Historically, referendums tend to show late swings to the status quo."
"There is no powerful countervailing drive to “do something”. To state the obvious, this referendum was not called because of some great national upswell of anti-EU sentiment. Despite the best efforts of the Daily Mail, most people do not feel assailed or constrained by European bureaucrats in their everyday lives. To most people, the EU is an abstract, faintly comic entity, good for the occasional joke about odd shaped fruit, but that’s it."
"But as Atul Hatwal shows, immigration is more bark than bite: most voters who think immigration is an important issue for the nation don’t think it is crucial to them and their families."
"Once you see that this is really all about the economy, and that most voters use their vote to minimise risk and hassle, then you’ll see why I’m confident about a win for Remain."
God my face hurts from the gigantic smile I had across my face while reading this. Hahahahaha.

This isn't an informed opinion so much as it is an attempt to demoralize opposition. Nothing to see here, just another idiot saying things on the internet.

Ah, a brilliantly written and interesting article, fortunately totally wrong.

This whole article is funny to read. I don't think I could write a better parody of a self-righteous lefty cunt.

Trump looks afraid in that picture
22349285? ago
Trump doesn't look afraid in that picture. He looks like he's thinking "I'm saving you for last . . . with extreme prejudice".
22346664? ago
A snapshot with no context. We really don't know what was going on there but it looks pretty bad.

Well, "Ian Leslie" ... any other zingers you'd like to share with us?
How about stock picks -- especially ones that you expect to crash?!?

They are panicked when they say stupid things.
