The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[SeattleUte]

Son, we live in a country that has laws, and those laws have to be guarded by men with balls. Who's gonna do it? You? MBN? BYU71? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for our party, and you curse Trump. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That a vote for Hillary, while tragic, probably saves lives. And my vote, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me in that voting booth, you need me in that booth. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent preventing something horrible. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a sharpie, and make a vote for Hillary sign. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Ironic you use the sexist "balls" phrase in advocating for Hillary. (Now watch, he'll say it was intentional, a parody of come kind, like he always does.)

now all the social issue shit pence has been hated for will be attached to trump.

The Ted Cruz crowd won't see that as a problem though.

Christie can SAD.

Hillary with awesome jokes and on point delivery. She's up to date and "gets" it. I'm still #neverTrump and #neverHillary, but she keeps this up I may have to reconsider.

Wake up people. Look yourselves in the mirror the morning after. She's horrible.

Write in Mitt!!!

It was going to be either Newt's bigoted 'loyalty test' immigration policy or Pence's anti-gay baggage. I guess Pence is better?

But it was never going to be Christie. His poll numbers were as bad as Trump's, if not worse. He needs someone to either ignite the base or attract independents. Pence probably does the former better than the other choices, but Christie does neither.

LOL at Christie. What a buffoon.

Potty mouth. You have been hanging with YO too long.

Potty mouth. You have been hanging with YO too long.

I got familiar with the acronym SAD here. Then I came across ESAD which must be more common than SAD but still unfamiliar to me. For a while I thought it was a really amplified version of SAD, as in "eat AND S.A.D". I was very relieved to finally learn the real meaning.

YO is a man of impeccable character.

Christie should have looked around and seen Huckabee on his right and Newt on his left and run.

Case in point.

Ditto.

You can do whatever you want, but you do realize that states just throw the write-in votes straight into the trash can unless that candidate has actually registered as a candidate? Voting for or writing in one of the third party choices at least gets counted. But writing in someone who insists he is not a candidate is the same as not voting. Just saying. Texas actually provides the list of candidates who weren't able to get printed on the ballot but have still registered with them, I guess to make it easier to write them in, which I think is kind of funny.

If they just throw them out and no one keeps track, then how come they can tell us how many votes Mickey Mouse gets each year?

I mean - they get counted, right? They just don't count.

I've been enjoying flipping radio stations during my drives to hear what the talking head "conservative" radio hosts have to say.

Yesterday someone was convinced that Christie, Giuliani, and a list of other recognizable names I wish I could remember would all be on Trump's cabinet.

Got a good chuckle.

[falafel]

So awful.

It has the benefit of not actually including Pence at all, if Trump wants to turn it that way. Its just the first and last letters of Trump's name!
