The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Jeff Lebowski]

Which is exactly the thing the article that you posted was deriding. What is really funny, is that you don't see it. The whole point of his article was boiled down to the sentence I have copied a couple of times and will again:



You are motivated to vote based on a "block of evils", rather than looking for the positive ideals of a candidate you can support.

lol. You are the king of nitpicking little pissing contents.

Back on my ignore list.

Ho-hum. Another victim.

This happened around the time when he had the conversation with Billy Bush. Melania was very pregnant at the time.

This comes across as very credible, at least to me. It also happens to match his "locker room talk" that he had with Billy Bush.

Taking your ball and going home. I get it. Sorry, you can't actually defend a position without name calling and running away.

Maybe you should post articles (as you appeal to authority) that actually support your position rather than make the opposite point you are trying to make.

I'm going to guess it's most likely Mitt will vote for McMullin.

I would assume McMullin is on his list. But since it seems like he's going to stay publicly neutral (as he did in the primary), maybe we'll never know.

He doesn't get the First Amendment. Another DISqualification.

I can't figure out if he's willfully ignorant of it, or knows about it and doesn't like it or doesn't care or what. But yes, this gross disrespect for the Bill of Rights in general automatically disqualifies him for the job. The second amendment is about the only one of the Bill of Rights he hasn't attacked pretty much on a daily basis. As President he's supposed to swear an oath to protect the Constitution. With the Bill of Rights, everything he says shows he intends to do anything BUT protect that part of the Constitution.

He may not ever publicly endorse. He probably won't to protect his party interests in the future. But McMullin seems to fit his views the closest.

I prefer Mickey Mouse to the two main party nominees. I'm okay if the office of President is vacant for four years.

Yeah, but the system isn't good at reading your mind. It can count your vote however.

[old_gregg]

going to be pretty stoked when this election is over.

Don't worry. Come January, people can then rend their garments about Hillary. It will be just as fun.

Register Mickey Mouse so that I can have a candidate with dignity and longevity.

His attorney knows they can't credibly launch a libel case. But Trump probably demanded a letter be sent to the Times and Trump might actually believe it would have some effect.

The interesting thing about the People columnist's account of Trump groping, is she persuasively writes about the rationale of why she didn't publicize the event at the time it happened; namely, she was worried that Donald Trump would destroy her career. Nothing in Trump's behavior indicates she made a bad choice. But after the Billy Bush tape came to light, Donald Trump became a totally toxic entity. He was never again going to have the ability to ruin a woman's career if she came forward regarding his lewd, aggressive behavior. She and the other women have allies now. They'll be believed and they'll likely have resources provided to them if Donald Trump uses lawyers to try to destroy them.

Everyone realizes this new reality except for Trump. He's following the old script, use lawyers to threaten. But as the Times' response letter points out, a civil action for libel provides damages for loss of reputation. Since he was caught on tape admitting to the exact behavior these women are alleging, it's going to be pretty difficult to show damages for alleged conduct of something you had previously bragged about.

It will be a four year nightmare, unless BYU71 can give us good investment advice once the world economy continues its slowdown. I imagine bonds and commodities will be a sound investment protocol, but special interest legislation passed by Hillary and her cronies may also open up some investment opportunities to find a silver lining in the brewing storm clouds.

I am not sure if you could be any more obtuse. Or stubborn.

I support ANY candidate but Trump.

But if you find yourself in the voting booth you wont find "anyone but Trump" as a choice. So who will you vote for and why? I thought you had said you were choosing HRC, but maybe thats wrong; Maybe you were just saying she is better. So who do you plan to vote for?

Also, becaTrumpbis famous, per New York Times v. Sullivan he would have to sho that the Times published negative information about him it knew was false.

Even if he weren't famous (aside from the fact the Times wouldn't be bothering with the story), he still wouldn't prevail.
