from the CRAZY-idea,-BADLY-done-by-WEAK-people.-So-Sad. dept.

From Electoral-Vote.com:

A theory has been circulating that the Donald Trump tweets that come from an Android device are from the candidate himself, while the ones that come from an iPhone are the work of his staff. David Robinson, a data scientist who works for Stack Overflow, decided to test the theory. His conclusion: It's absolutely correct.

Robinson did some text-mining (using R) to analyze roughly 1,400 tweets from Trump's timeline, and demonstrated conclusively that the iPhone tweets are substantively different than the Android tweets. The former tend to come later at night, and are vastly more likely to incorporate hashtags, images, and links. The latter tend to come in the morning, and are much more likely to be copied and pasted from other people's tweets. In terms of word choice, the iPhone tweets tend to be more neutral, with their three most-used phrases being "join," "#trump2016," and "#makeamericagreatagain." The Android tweets tend to be more emotionally charged, with their three most-used phrases being "badly," "crazy," and "weak."

    Well if I were a US voter and Clinton picks Bernie Sanders as Vice President, the worse her health problems the more likely I'd vote for her.

    It's not that bad to want a President who'd die for the country is it? ;)

    She picked Kaine. He's a weird DINO who's been on every side of every issue at one time or another. Owns guns but wants more meaningless paperwork to punish legal owners. Loves the TPP and also won't support it. Hates abortion for personal reasons but won't do anything about it. Doesn't like capital punishment but won't pardon people killed while he's in office (and statistically given how many convictions are later overturned, he's killed at least one innocent man by refusing to commute). He's a globalist who loves NAFTA at the same time as he kisses up to unions who's jobs he's doing his best to eliminate.

    Kaine's not entirely a worthless flipflop machine. For a democrat he's remarkably fiscally responsible. I actually agree with him WRT abortion, its enough of an ethical minefield that the best way to oppose it is to go religious and go propaganda, not to go via .gov regulation. Still its weird and almost unique to see a politician take a position on anything similar to the .gov should not be involved in the issue.

    I mean, who can Hillary find with a lower approval rating than herself to make her veep, maybe Osama Bin Laden?

    Hillary wants our military to die for our country, or at least die for Isreal, in Iran, Syria, god only knows where else. Crazy warmonger chickenhawk.
