    It's probably also worth noting that as a white guy, I'm of a demographic that has the least to fear from a Trump presidency (and there's still plenty to fear). For Latinos, blacks, and Muslims, the prospect must be terrifying. So I guess in short, I'm thinking Clinton would be terrible. But Trump would be worse, and could be catastrophic. -Radley Balko
    For the very reason that she is such a conventional politician, her opponents would know how to effectively oppose her. Trump would be much harder to counter and would simply ignore the checks on his powers, claiming—with some justification—a mandate for one-man rule. - Virginia Postrel
    He thinks he doesn't need advisers or policies or principles. He has no earthly idea what he thinks about taxes, abortion, minimum wages, debt, health care, or most other issues. Most disturbingly, he shows disdain for Congress and the Constitution.- David Boaz

      Of course one should not have joined with Putin or Assad, but one should have supported more forcefully those who both oppose ISIS and Assad. Don't be daft.
      Trump is being daft. You criticize Obama for not more actively opposing Erdogan and turn around and criticize him for opposing Gaddafi. Your logic is ringing hollow and you haven't stated an argument for why Trump would be less bad than Hillary. Surely you don't think Trump would do a better job than Obama, do you?

        I don't believe it is possible to do worse. And how you oppose somebody differs.

          You seem pretty tolerant of Trump. Why won't you vote for him?

            I am merely highlighting for the intelligentsia the foibles of Hillary. Trump's weaknesses need no illustration. The fact that people view her as an acceptable level of wrong is untenable for me.

            I find his anti-intellectualism untenable, his lack of coherent foreign policy incomprehensible, and his inarticulateness not worth listening to. He and Hillary will probably intentionally or unintentionally start wars. We need to avoid war unless it is absolutely necessary. Neither of those idiots gets it. For me, each is one side of the coin for the other. Each is a heinous choice.

                    I would have voted for him. Too bad he staked it all on Florida.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      lol. Maybe they shouldn't have a guy with a career in defense intelligence close out the first night. Flynn is having a hard time.

                            Haha! That's great. And her sole purpose ought to have been to convince us that she's not stupid!

                              Oh jeez, what an unforced error. I would have expected Trump to hire the...best...speechwriters....ever. Apparently not.

                                Lol! So stupid. I don't blame the uneducated supermodel who had to give a speech to a national audience in a second language. I blame the morons who voted for her husband and put her in this position. I blame the awful team surrounding Trump who are supposed to protect the candidates family. Of course I blame Donald for being wasting our time and ruining our party.
