Justice Scalia found dead in Texas

[Applejack]

Because somebody threadjacked it. Of course, I object her on her record, her lack of character, her public policy and her poor performance while in office. However, anything which can diminish her may incrementally make it less likely she could win. And if she does win (most likely I am afraid), we can hope the GOP will afford her no quarter or honeymoon period, and make her ungovernable a la Carter. I see a period akin to war-locked Soviet Union under attack during WWII, where you button down, withstand attack and attack until nobody is left standing. Or we can hope.

But then again I am an optimist.

LOL. Classic post.

Snicker at PAC thinking his vote matters in Cali.. Hilary's gonna take the state if she is the Dem's representative.


My question. Bernie or Trump. Who gets your vote?

If that happens I am writing my own name in as a write-in.. dabrockster for President!!!

Yes, I would keep it all in small caps..

[Nakoma]

I think he meant it, thereby losing the argument.

Okay. She's only a pathological liar, but not a sociopath. Does that make us feel better about her now?

Yes, I would use an incomplete ellipsis ..

FIFY.
Also, your moniker is not in small caps.

I really don't want to engage on this, but I think it's simply wrong to argue that Hillary Clinton is a sociopath in the clinical sense of the word, unless you want to dilute the term's definition to the point that it becomes meaningless. Hillary has many flaws, but ascribing to her a very serious mental disorder is, I think, stupid when better and more accurate arguments are available.

And to ruffle your feathers a bit more, I would absolutely vote for her before I'd vote for Trump. I'd very gladly choose Kasich, Bloomberg or even Rubio ahead of her, but it appears I may not be given such an option.

And why is this discussion in the Scalia thread?

I heartily endorse this post.

Thank you Dhole. It will be my schtick...

Every President has one.

Okay, Mr. Arnold.

Careless? I'd say quite calculated. A couple quick examples: he just called out Vicente Fox (for saying "we won't pay for that f*cking wall") demanding an apology saying if he used the F word there would be an uproar. Uhhh he uses the F word all the time at his rallies. Easily searchable. Also: PAC's anecdote about Trump claiming to be a great Christian. GMAFB.

According to Trump himself he tries to go on 'Christmas... Easter.. and ummm definitely on Sundays. Yeah. More of a Sunday Church goer,' letting everybody know who is paying attention that he may have never been to church in his life. Basically he looks into topics and buzzwords that will arouse the far right and runs with it. The whole Wall thing, Christianity, anti-muslim, mexicans are rapists, etc etc etc.

I'm sure when pressed he doesn't really believe these stupid things because as a businessman he must know that a Wall would be a waste of tens of billions of dollars that would stop nobody from coming illegally, and deporting every undocumented Mexican would cost untold fortunes and then tank the economy from the lack of low cost labor as a bonus. But that's the point. It's calculated speech-not careless. Maybe it's politics as usual, which is definitely more forgivable, but it's not worth the risk to elect him just to find out whether he's a sociopath or not.

Please tell me that your biggest complaints about Trump are not that he is a hypocrite - saying that Fox should apologize for cussing when he cusses all the time; and that he lied about how often he goes to church.

Honestly - I would take that over the lies that Hillary has told.

Not saying I'd vote for Trump. I'm saying it isn't because I see him as being a hypocrite or dishonest. I'm guessing nearly every candidate could be found to have exhibited those two qualities to the extent that Trump has.

You should have stuck with your first instinct.

No. Those were merely two examples of him being calculated and not merely careless in speech as you posited. As for complaints? Gee there are so many: he's a narcissistic, racist, unprincipled, xenophobic con artist with zero experience in government for starters.

Gee commando, if I didn't know any better I would think you were talking about Obama...

Why do you think Obama fits that description?

Why do you think Obama fits that description?

His actions over the last 8 years has lead me to believe these things..

He is arrogant and thinks very highly of himself. He shows outward contempt whenever he is questioned on his actions or decisions. He has outwardly stirred racial tensions to his benefit and he had no executive government experience whatsoever before becoming President..

Just to name a few..


Let me be clear, I will not vote for Trump and hope Kasich wins Ohio and that turns the table in the right direction and Trump's circus ends shortly thereafter..

If not.. Not sure what I will do..
