Fascinating to see people finally coming to jesus on this guy. I don't see this as out of character for Trump at all.Donald Trump's statements are beyond offensive & despicable.

Mitt's been right pretty much on everything. From Russia to Obamacare to Trump. The dude is a walking genius but an average political candidate.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostMitt was clearly right on that one. I'm not sure what your post has to do with Trump v. Clinton.
I remember just about three weeks ago JL and Co were crapping their pants about Trump being even with Clinton based on Silvers super fancy predicting stats. Still makes me laugh. The general election was over before it even began.

That's funny. Especially coming from you with your passive aggressive support of Trump all along.Originally posted by Moliere View PostMitt's been right pretty much on everything. From Russia to Obamacare to Trump. The dude is a walking genius but an average political candidate.

Ha. Just trying to keep things even handed. Bashing Clinton and her corruption isn't the same thing as supporting Trump, and I've always said I'd vote for Clinton before I vote for Trump...however I'd never vote for Clinton.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostThat's funny.

Here is the funny thing about pat-yourself-on-the-back statements like this: If you are going to claim that you knew it all along, you have to simultaneously make a case that you anticipated all along that Trump would roar to the front of the GOP contenders, capture the nomination, and then be in a virtual tie with Hillary 5-6 weeks away from election day. Anyone claiming they could predict what would happen in this election cycle is FOS.Originally posted by Moliere View PostMitt's been right pretty much on everything.

Write in Mitt.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Heavens no. That is not what I said. Let's just stick with general sweeping statements like "The general election was over before it even began." You can't say that and claim to be more savvy that Nate Freaking Silver without explaining how your cocksure confidence takes into account how far Trump actually came. This election has been like nothing else in our lifetimes.Originally posted by All-American View PostSo anybody who doesn't see EVERYTHING coming can't claim credit for seeing ANYTHING coming?"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

I have a baseline, once a candidate sinks below the baseline, I group that candidate with all others who sink below the baseline.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostHomeland Security isn't making a statement in favor of the candidate, they are accusing a foreign power of fucking with our republic. That's pretty serious. And, no, Clinton is not as close to as horrible as Trump/Pence. Why do you feel she is equally as bad?
Honesty? She ranks a negative 5.
Fiscal and Tax Policy? She ranks negative 10.
Policies helpful to small business? Negative 20.
Personal liberties? Negative 10.
Judicial Nominees? Negative 20.
Denial of self-interest? Negative 40.
Ability to reach across the aisle? Negative 15.
Monetary Policy? Negative 10.
Transparency? Negative 100.
Judgment? Negative 20.
So for all matters that matter to me, she ranks below zero. Anybody below zero is horrible and unacceptable. Trump may rank in the negative 2000 range, but it's both below zero. So we're screwed no matter what.
We simply need to diversify our holdings to anticipate markets, real estate and commodities to adapt no matter who is in office. Purchases during a Democratic administration should be modest unless you are buying distressed properties in anticipation of the upswing of the traditional business cycle. I may gripe here, but I will adapt. I rue the selection of Clinton for my children and grandchildren as I will survive and adapt."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
