if I were there anywhere near front row she could come out and sing Tiptoe Through The Tulips and I'd love every minute.
And that is what I am looking forward to - ticket in hand

Perhaps her Pride performance next month will cleanse the palate of those who found this performance not to their tastes/liking?
What Pride performance?

MTV Live seems to play mostly recent releases - so you’d catch Bitch I’m Madonna there - and then Borderline (they play it a lot) - sometimes even playing the video for Borderline right after the live version from MDNA - or going right from 4 Minutes into Vogue from MDNA

Well, she CAN afford it.
Though, it is a disgrace if she has to pay for her own promos.
At this rate, Madonna will be selling records via Bandcamp!
In traditional record deals, the label fronts the money for promo but this is a recoupable investment. So the artist doesn’t earn any royalties from selling the album until the record company has earned all their money back. Given how little record companies make on album sales, most artists have a very small promo budget. And given the recoupment scenario, the artist was always technically paying for the promo.

The video with Rocco dancing has the rhythm of the lyric to what used to be called Beautiful Game - just as she performed it at the Met - even though the music is obviously very different.

Has Madonna introduced a new song by performing it since Love Makes the World Go Round? I can't recall, but don't think so.

Because more than half of this board was stanning for Hillary Fucking Clinton. Needless to say that his own party sabotaged his nomination. They screwed him over.
He is not a democrat. Maybe if he was, the party would have warmed to him. But he wasn't then and he isn't now.

And Democratic P. leaders close to Clinton sabotaged Sanders' candidacy:
Top officials at the Democratic National Committee criticized and mocked Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont during the primary campaign, even though the organization publicly insisted that it was neutral in the race, according to committee emails made public on Friday by WikiLeaks.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/us/politics/dnc-emails-sanders-clinton.html?_r=0
The people vote - and as their disdain for him during the primaries was not public, it had no impact.
Bernie and his campaign did not want to engage with identity politics - though minorities and those who support them make up the majority of the democratic coalition. If you don't talk to Black people, Latino people, Asian people, Women - and address their issues in your campaign, you don't get votes. If you don't campaign in entire sections of the country (like the Southeast), you don't get votes. And he didn't do those things, and he lost the race. The predilections of the DNC have no impact when their public statements are consistently that they are neutral.

It may ALL come down to the damn Wikileaks now :/. She and her team etc...better (you'd seriously think!) be prepared for what's coming. If it wasn't for that I'd say she'd be close to 100% having this.
Well, that was a bust.

To be fair, Ulizos, the media and Trump tell us daily that President Obama's failure to act firmly in Syria to remove Assad is the reason Syria and ISIS are where they are today. While that narrative is obviously flawed and inaccurate, it is regurgitated daily - which certainly colors public opinion on the topic.
-
My biggest fear, when I see these polls, is that a lot of people are ashamed to say they'll vote for Trump so they lie when the answer...
They do online polls as well to test this - The polls are accurate.

i didnt hear love for clinton, i heard hate towards trumps children for shooting animals.
thats the problem, dollhole. nobody loves hillary, theyre voting against trump.
I love Hillary.
I am voting for her -
as I have done four times before
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know!
How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
(I love Emily Dickinson too)

I know it's the US lol but just do NOT see how this 'speech' or any single thing this orangutan does in just 60 something days can expand...to anything/anyone beyond that base that's still living in and obsessed with 1950 or 1980. One thing to be assertive and tough but how will this not scare the shit out (or at the min.) turn off educated white women, some educated white men and millennials etc...(not even gonna go there w/ minorities, gays etc..). Problem w. Hillary (unlike Trump) is HIS 'people' are gonna be up first thing 5 am and come out kkk/mob style. My concern is her base won't. Thats how he prob. wins.
According to politicos, this is where a ground game comes in - to go knock on doors, call people, and drive them to the polls - and Hillary's massive field workers are up to that task. Donald has none of that - he only has the enthusiasm he inspires at his rallies. And as we saw with Bernie, just because people get enthusiastic in your presence, it does not necessarily translate to a winning voting base.

In response to the earlier discussion about health insurance -
The idea that people are paying more for less is complete bullshit. A lot of CRAP insurance plans existed before that covered very little and thus did not cost anything. Now plans may cost more but they MUST cover more and also limit the amount of out of pocket costs an individual can incur. Thus, if one has insurance and gets a catastrophic illness, they won't end up with outrageous bills to pay that they could never afford. Small businesses with only 15 employees are not required to provide healthcare for their employees now and they weren't before - and few small businesses did provide it before. As this 2013 chart shows, businesses with fewer than 50 employees provide insurance about 30% of the time - http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/firms-offering-coverage-by-size/
The other 70% had to get insurance on their own or go without. Pre existing conditions meant they couldn't get insurance. As many people have low incomes, they get subsidies for their premium - to the tune of 72% of people who get insurance though the Affordable Care Act - "For enrollees in the 37 states that used HealthCare.gov in 2015, those subsidies pay an average of 72 percent of the full premium cost, leaving subsidized insureds responsible for just $105 per month in premiums."
https://www.healthinsurance.org/obamacare/will-you-receive-an-obamacare-premium-subsidy/
This is not even to mention the many millions of people who are now eligible for Medicaid that weren't before (provided that their state is not run by an obstructionist Republican who refused to implement the expansion). http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacares-medicaid-expansion/
Those who do not receive a subsidy (like my partner) can pay between $300 and $1200 per month depending on the type of plan they choose - but that's because his employer is an ASSHOLE and only offered the shittiest possible plan which none of his employees chose to take and most are now enrolled in Medicaid.

I love you all - even your faulty thinking - sleep tight gentleman

Further, while the republicans have made an industry of blocking Obama's nominees, the Democrats are not nearly as obstinate - so they would in fact likely confirm whoever was nominated
-
Again, a Democratic majority senate WILL NOT approve someone who's too out there. Period. Regardless of which stupid ho wins, compromises will have to be made. Period.
Stop with the scaremongering. Jeez
If the popular vote goes to Trump, the senate will likely remain in republican control as well - don't be naive
-
Is Trump going to elect a member of the KKK and is a Democrat majority senate going to approve him (we all know he'd be a him).
Scalia JR would not be far off - and as Ruth Bader Ginsberg has only a few years left to go - Trump's potential gaggle of Scalia clones would be incredibly destructive for generations - not to mention, of course, whatever nightmare he would dream up.
-
The state of the Supreme Court will directly impact the lives of minorities, women, immigrants, and gays - so please do continue to believe that the election doesn't matter - as it may well not matter to you - but to all of the aforementioned groups, the balance of power in the Supreme Court matters greatly - so if you can't manage to get to the polls for your own self interest, do it on behalf of others who desperately need your support.

The candidate's spouse traditionally is meant to give a speech that does this - whether any of this means anything is irrelevant - it's just the way it's done
-
Humanizing her with plain folks/young couple talk - traditional persuasive strategy to make her seem less distant/cold/calculating - we teach the strategy as a fundamental approach to persuasive speaking - dim audiences tend to fall for it - the intelligencia already know what's what

Based on favorable vs unfavorable polls, they hate Trump more.

I am amused - she gives no fucks at all - and while I would love for her to be loved - She will burn that stage to the ground and I am here for it.
takes me back to 1993 when I was in eighth grade rolling around in the grass at a school field day singing fever and my classmates thinking I had lost my mind. And maybe I had. I too had no fucks to give and I have never felt so free as I did that day. Bring it on.
