    Republicans: Altering Hillary's campaign logo so that it reminds us all of what happened to this country the last time one of your guys was in the Oval Office,
    may not have been the smartest move you've ever made.

    Yup, "Send in the Clowns."

    The original logo does suck, though.

    The original logo is brilliant. It inspired her opponents to make complete fools of themselves.

    What's next, Photoshop horns and hooves on Michelle Obama* and bring out the pitchforks against the tea party?

    I suspect because he was a fan of the canceled show Top Gear.

    So you missed yesterday's? Post #6 is particularly ironic in light of what he was going for with that one.

    That is one amateurish piece of shit logo (the real one, not this parody). Hope she didn't pay too much for it.

    Maybe. But what is the point of a logo in politics? It's to get people talking about the candidate. Seems to be working in spite of the questionable design elements. Hell, that might even be why it's getting people talking about her.

    Holy shit, bitch don gone and trolled the republicans. They are so fucked. Hillary is going to stomp a new mudhole in the republican party. That is not Obama who rolls over whenever republicans say something. Hillary is a fighter and though she is just the better of two bads, I am going to enjoy watching the republican conservative nation get it's ass kicked.

    Hillary won't even allow questions from reporters. Her campaign is already a disaster. Back when she was "fresh" and didn't need a cane and sunglasses, she got beaten in Iowa by John Edwards.

    This is one of the reasons that I don't think Republicans can win in 2016.

    This whole 'Hillary would be an Obama 3rd term' strategy y'all are latching on to.

    Hey, here's a question, how could it even be possible for him to have a third term? IT'S BECAUSE HE WON THE FIRST FUCKING TWO!

    Get over your irrational hatred of the guy, recognize that he did win every time he ran, figure out why you lost every time you ran against him and modify your platform accordingly.

    Until Republicans begin to respect the voters (and no, calling the majority of Americans who voted for Obama morons isn't a sign of respect) y'all've got no hope of getting said majority over to your side.

    But the people who voted for Obama are clearly morons. That's a hard thing to dance away from.

    I'm glad at least one Obama voter realizes "moron" is a compliment. There are far worse things, such as self-harm or body-modification where Obama voters due things like slice their penis in half or cut off their fingers and toes, which must bring about the same emotional satisfaction as voting for Obama.

    Republicans run on fear and hate.. Democrats run on hate and fear. Hate and fear won the last two rounds. Will fear and hate make a comeback this time? Perhaps.

    Ahh, HO. Oh, isn't funny. You called a woman a whore. That will certainly convince female voters you respect them and that they should vote for your party.

    You have lost the women's vote in the last few elections and shit like this makes me think you guys aren't going to get them back.

    Replace Obama with Bush and Hillary with McCain and you have the exact same strategy that dems used in 2008. :shrug:

    Except for the situations not being the same.

    Bush only got more people to vote for him once, not twice. Also, his second election was won on the 'war bounce'.

    Then you have the fact that at this point he was on a VERY steep downward trend in popularity whereas Obama is on an upward trajectory.

    Whereas Bush's signature policy (Iraq War) was increasingly popular, Obama's (Obamacare gets more and more popular).

    Do I really need to point out the different economic situations?

    So yeah, except for the context, very similar. :shrug:

    Regardless of the parodies, the logo does strike me as stupid.

    It's a terrible logo. I can only hope that it's ultimately just a small part of a larger, cooler design, that they're building up to in stages. Not likely, but hoping nonetheless.

    Too bad there's no way to design it so the arrow is pointing downward.

    Yes. The arrow pointing to the right is stupid on many levels. And that is all there is to the logo!

    If a good or bad logo is the difference between winning an American presidential election, then @gturner needs to revise his moron proportion figure upwards!
