Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

[kishnevi]

Not sure I agree.  Lack of nuance is so often sheer recklessness.

I know: nuance is easy to scoff at these days.

I am not sure that Donald understands the concept of nuance.

[San Antone]

I am not sure that Donald understands the concept of nuance.

Hyperbole is more his style.  I bet he is often surprised that the press takes him so literally.

[Parsifal]

It is also disingenuous for Clinton to call him reckless in the debates for having a less nuanced position than hers.

Nuking ISIS? Apparently there is a fine line between less-nuanced and bat-shit crazy.

Has anyone seen a newspaper so outright against a presidential candidate?

Has anyone seen such a terrible candidate?

[San Antone]

"Should we anticipate a Trump shake-up of the nuclear establishment, one that could significantly alter the likelihood of the use of such weapons? If Trump's public pronouncements and interview comments to date are any indication, it does not seem likely. Practically all of them conform to mainstream views and indicate basic support for his predecessor's strategy. Trump does complain that the United States gave away the store in the Iran deal, postponing the day of reckoning with a nuclear-armed Iran. But otherwise there are few if any obvious disagreements with conventional wisdom and practice."

Not MY dream...

Oh I'm sure you'd enjoy his earnings & lifestyle. I'm sure you'd be proud to have built such a successful organization.

Wow!  That was pretty comprehensive.

[James]

A quote from a book I've read recently comes to mind.

"James, there is never a moment in a life when a selfish heart is satisfied."

He finances his own campaign with those deep pockets and is putting up with a lot of aggravation .. for a greater cause ... doesn't sound selfish to me.

[Herman]

I didn't watch the video and didn't know he had a previous bid for president. 

Yeah, why know anything?

[Karl Henning]

Republicans are not taking El Tupé's blather as "just the same as Gore":

"The campaign is over," said Steve Schmidt, a Trump critic and former senior strategist on George W. Bush's and John McCain's presidential campaigns.

Calling a refusal to accept the election results "disqualifying," Schmidt added: "The question is, how close will Clinton get to 400 electoral votes? She'll be north of 350, and she's trending towards 400 — and the trend line is taking place in very red states like Georgia, Texas and Arizona."

[Karl Henning]

(I point this out to indicate how arrant a red herring the "Well, and Liberals stole the election eight times!" gambit is.)

Thanks, Perfect, well worth reading. The Atlantic this month is similarly exlicit: "Don't Vote for Trump" : http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/11/the-case-for-hillary-clinton-and-against-donald-trump/501161/  If this keeps up, sanantonio may be casting Trump's only vote (other than his own, naturally, and I would wager some Trumpeters in his family have had more than enough of the "limelight." And anyway, the Don really is too wonderful to be POTUS :  http://crooksandliars.com/2016/10/donald-trump-jr-my-dad-too-good-you

Nah.  Liberals are the only ones paying attention to their shills in the media like The Atlantic.  As Dan Quayle famously said, "I wear your scorn as a badge of honor."

[Karl Henning]

Just gonna leave this out here.

Melania Trump's demand for a retraction by People magazine is simply amazing

[Karl Henning]

Nah.  Liberals are the only ones paying attention to their shills in the media like The Atlantic.  As Dan Quayle famously said, "I wear your scorn as a badge of honor."

Well, he doesn't know any better.

[Karl Henning]

And: more business "genius."

This wasn't the ideal time for a presidential campaign to lose its political director

[Mister Sharpe]

For the record, the Atlantic is neither right nor left, but "moderate" : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_magazines

[San Antone]

Actually, the reverse endorsements by NY Daily News and The Atlantic are a good sign for Trumpniks.  Despite their concerted effort to sink Trump, the Liberal mudslingers must be wary of believing their own press and feel that they have to do more to try to sink the Trump juggernaut.  Otherwise, why bother if he has really already lost the election?

Hmm ... something to consider.

Very funny.  Their editorial is hardly "moderate".
