Looks like by the poll that Trump is winning...


He's got the JSP delegates locked up for sure

Donald Trump is a one man wrecking ball.

He is winning incarnate.

I knew he'd landslide the country as early as last October.

I don't know if it's true, but it shouldn't surprise anybody that it's suggested. We're talking about people with arguably more resources than the president for personal vendettas at their disposal, and with MUCH less scrutiny.

I also never said it was true, I said according to some wealthy acquaintances of mine. There's a world of difference between me insisting that billionaires are all murders and quoting somebody.


I consider Trump to be slightly less likely to kill somebody than, say, Steve Jobs.

Or Jim Webb :P

What's Trump's great power nobody else has? Trump can give you a dirty insult that sticks, which destroys your status and reputation and makes people respect you less. Crooked Hillary, Heartless Hillary, Crazy Bernie, Low Energy Jeb, Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, Crazy Megyn.

That's a powerfully persuasive and nonviolent trick he learned.

Has Trump killed somebody? I don't know. I give it a maybe.

He has obvious mob connections in real estate. Once you're big and powerful enough, that's an unavoidable cost of doing business. It's par the course.

Food for though. If you've paid taxes, your hands are dirty too. Obama uses your money to frag brown people in the Middle East. Innocent children have been murdered in cold blood.

Philosophically, what makes one person morally culpable for despicable behavior?

Who is morally culpable for what, why?

Do you have to point the gun at somebody's head and watch them die to be responsible for bloodshed and mayhem?

I made casual bets with friends but didn't discover the gambling website that was legal until a few weeks ago.
For real though, 100 bucks back then would pull you .... maybe 1200 if all goes well.
Now it's more of an even split slightly favoring HRC.
Still potentially big money to be made but the risk is somewhat higher.

What does this even have to do with the conversation though?

I don't care about Trump's personal life. I want to know what policies he's going to push, and I have no freaking idea what policies he's going to push since he doesn't commit to any positions and doesn't have any firm ideals.


Why does having firm policies HONESTLY matter?

Because G-Dubya did it?

The Gipper did it?

Slick Willy did it?

Did George Washington stand on the bully pulpit during the birth of America and declare something specific like "By God and Country we're going to institute a 5% flat tax!" ? Did Honest Abe vow to make beards protected speech?

Give me a serious justification for your position.

Because I'd like at least some idea of what I'm voting for... I know what I'm getting with Hillary, even the stuff she's obviously going to backtrack on. Same wth Bernie, Cruz, etc. If you don't at least have a bead on the candidates ideology it's just a toss up on any given situation.

I'm going to chalk up the dumbness in your posts tonight as just bouncing stuff off the wall...

what do you think about Trump's foreign policy, especially on military spending on foreign aid?

I don't know what his real policy is. I don't trust him to live up to a word he says.

A healthy dose of skepticism is respectable but this level of unwarranted mistrust in President Trump is truly unreasonable.
