DC Tom Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I forgot all about this forum. Thanks Tom. I am here for my proper idiot branding. I am for whoever scares the hell out of everyone else in Washington. Trump definitely fits the bill, but ultimately it's going to be Rubio or Cruz. I would prefer Paul, I voted for his old man every chance I got. You're an idiot. When I get around to reading your drivel, I'll let you know why.

keepthefaith Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It seems to me that as time passes, Donald Trump looks more and more like an angry chicken. He only wins the nomination if he cuts his hair and starts speaking like a shrewd, seasoned and capable businessman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, the average schmuck will link any candidate opposing her imperial majesty to the loony. Oh my God, I shudder to think about Hillary as president.

Oh my God, I shudder to think about Hillary as president. Donald scares me more than Hillary. But really, I don't think there's a single candidate running who won't !@#$ up the country. Our choices are a matter of degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 unfortunately that's a firm "yes" from many here and many others on the right. there are very few bush repubs left and literally no Rockefeller repubs. scary stuff that so many can support this selfish, spiteful, childish egomaniac. this is a direct result of a disenfranchised and dwindling middle class grasping at straws. news flash: trump is not on your side. Be honest. You'd be fine with all of that if he were a liberal Democrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be fine with all of that if he were a liberal Democrat. i don't think any of those adjectives fit bernie. he's my first choice. if there were two candidates for which those adjectives were fitting, i'd likely pick the dem since odds are good that we'd agree on more issues. fwiw, i'm not a hillary fan but she's the lesser of evils against the repub field for me.

Observer Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) So your fear about Trump is that he'll order massive military attacks around the world without the Congress making a declaration of war? He's an unhinged person. I'd rather have a level headed and calm presence with that much power in his hands. While I said "finger on the button," a better choice would have been "in charge of the military." I don't trust that power in his hands. And I don't trust him to navigate foreign or domestic policy. The fact that Trump's facts are often straight from the Snopes false list is the new normal his supporters are looking for. Better to make a headline with some wildly false statistic or distorted urban myth than tell the truth. See latest black violence tweet or his remarks about the partying in the streets as the towers fell. I don't want a president who's an entertainer first. I want a president who actually cares about his country more than himself. Not one other candidate comes close to being as utterly frightening for the future of the US as Trump. Sanders is a socialist ideologue but at heart, he means well and Congress would check most of his ridiculous machinations. Trump would send the US economy into a tailspin of uncertainty, the world into a foreign policy mess, and who knows what hellish things he would do with the military. He is the only person who may truly unwind the country. The rest of the people in the race would just create Bush/Obama style messes of a style we're used to.

Health care was his legacy, and making Hillary SOS was throwing a bone to get the full support of the Clinton wing of the party. These weren't personal sacrifices. And I think if Obama had the same arrogant and condescending personality but was a conservative Republican, you'd speak of him roughly the way I do now.

Clinton and Kerry were basically given a gift position that makes them more appealing in future presidential races, to keep them on the inside and from being critical of Obama.

Tiberius Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Trump making fun of the disabled now.
