Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

[Karl Henning]

Why exactly would you support a woman who can't retain consciousness?, a woman whose feet are shown being dragged, toes last, and thrown into a van like a sack of potatoes? A woman who CHARGES parents for a photo-op with their children?

Again, a woman who ATTACKS the women that her husband RAPED.

HER HUSBAND IS A RAPIST AND SHE COVERED FOR HIM BY ATTACKING... WAIT FOR IT... WOMEN.


If she has the power to get Dr.Drew canned for asking just a normal ass question, well, what other powers does she have that we don't know about? And he was right, to boot.


Trump temper? Haven't you heard about Hill's temper?





btw- concerning muslims. I seem to be able to have the ability to get any muslim I meet to start ragging on jews, they can't stand 'em, it seems.

Also, I don't do my "racism" by skin color, I do it by bone structure. The five "races": caucasion, negro, mongolian, malay, and amer-indian.

I certainly don't "love everyone",... or do I? I am very green and naive when I meet people and ALWAYS take people on face value. It's just that most people say typical shit. BUT, there are always exceptions.


White Men Can't Jump

Why, exactly?

Trump's doctor's note, the only scrap of paper we've seen about his health, was somewhere between unhelpful and ludicrous.

Wait, you don't think an aging real estate magnate who probably spends most of his days sedentary is the most healthy candidate for president ever?  Surely you must be joking!

Any day now, he'll show us all his medical numbers.  All his numbers are out the roof!

[North Star]

Lets see the blood pressure and LDL cholesterol...

[Florestan]

Oh, come on, guys! Regardless of Trump´s ideas and ideals, when it comes strictly to physical condition his is obviously better than Hillary´s.

And: since when higher than normal blood pressure and higher than normal LDL cholesterol are disqualifiers for the US Presidency? Which was the last candidate you applied these criteria to?

[Karl Henning]

Oh, come on, guys! Regardless of Trump´s ideas and ideals, when it comes strictly to physical condition his is obviously better than Hillary´s.

I'm glad you're not my physician.


You must be right.  I withdraw my insistence on a medical evaluation for either candidate.

In other words, Trump likely has been badly misrepresenting his generosity, which in and of itself is deplorable.

Or, it would be deplorable to any voter who simply cannot vote for Clinton.  Nominate a satanic zombie:  at least he's not Clinton!

zb or sanantonio:  There is no moral abyss to which El Tupé would sink, which would have you reconsidering your vote?  I ask only for information.

[Karl Henning]

Some Trump supporters are conservatives who feel they have no choice but to support Trump

...

As the polling suggests, only a minority of Trump supporters appear to be cleanly in this category — those who hold conservative views on the economy, but no bigoted views on race, ethnicity, and religion. Indeed, an analysis by political scientist Philip Klinkner found that attitudes toward race and religion are a better way to predict support for Trump than views toward the economy and trade ....

There is only one candidate in this election cycle who could have been indicted on federal criminal charges.  Is there nothing that may still be disclosed about Hillary Clinton that would cause you to reconsider your vote? 

To answer your question; I will never vote for Hillary Clinton.  If (which is a huge "if") Trump does something (or is proven to have done something) that would disqualify him for the presidency, in my mind, I would either sit out the election or write in an alternate choice.

[Karl Henning]

Well, I'll repeat what I replied to zb:  if there are charges and evidence, let a case be brought.

And if she is taken to court, I'll vote for . . . Gary Johnson.

[San Antone]

I should hope that the bar for president is somewhere north of the fact that FBI recommended no indictment to be brought against the candidate.  Usually when a suspect destroys evidence prosecutors understand it as some indication of guilt.

Anyway, I'm outta here.

[Karl Henning]

I have at least two very good friends who absolutely cannot vote for Clinton, and who are voting Johnson/Weld.  By which you may also judge that absolutely cannot vote for El Tupé.

There is only one candidate in this election cycle who could have been indicted on federal criminal charges.

Well, the Trump University scam may be indeed as serious as you paint it here.

Ah, then you will miss my respectful suggestion that there are a hundred G.O.P. lawyers who would be happy to pursue an indictment, whether recommended by the FBI or no.

Why don't they?  (He asks, even as he expects the quasi-conspiracy-theorist obstinacy to consider that one's own idea may be wrong.)

"
      I would not change my vote on any "may be disclosed" basis. I might reconsider if it turns out to be true that the foundation supplies her with the blood of virgins to keep her many illnesses in check.

Why don't they?

     There are no good Republican lawyers.

Usually when a suspect destroys evidence prosecutors understand it as some indication of guilt.

     It is "some indication".

[Rinaldo]

There is only one candidate in this election cycle who could have been indicted on federal criminal charges.

Yes. Trump.

[drogulus]

     How long after the Queen of Hell is sworn in will impeachment proceedings begin?

     1) a month before

     2) 15 min.

     3) a week after she succumbs from lack of virgin blood

[drogulus]

    Trump releases previously undisclosed medical records

    Doctors: Candidate is "not always human"

[André]

Trump's businessman status is often seen as a plus. I wonder how many communities became better off from his business deals ? How many Trump company headquarters, how many Trump business places are thriving  ? How many individuals became rich thanks to Donald Trump ? He has siphoned off $$$$ from all the failed ventures he has ever been in. By now he is sufficiently rich to entertain all the wildest dreams of most people and their extended families for a few generations.

The only thing he has never been able to have enough of is intravenous shots to his ego.

The Supreme Court issue is so ludicrous, really: a blink in the face of the next decades. How long would a Trump or Clinton presidency last ? 4 years for both. All right: who knows how many SP Justices will die in the interregnum ? And you would base your choice of a 4 year presidency on that indirect roll of a dice ?

4 years, whoever is elected. Then it's a new race, a new national drama queens 3-act play, and the same hysteria on display again for the world to see ??

Cynicism, to me, always felt like a cop out. And while I respect your mindset, I'm afraid it's the kind of short-sightedness that has, throughout history, lead to truly terrible outcomes. Trump himself might be a bumbling, fradulent asshole, but as his campaign has shown, he's clearing a very real path to fascism.

The problem is that the more likely outcome that Clinton wins would give another 4 (or maybe years of basically status quo. A lot of the steam that has build up so far to push Trump to the top will keep building up. And if then the alternative to the establishment is not a bumbling fraudulent asshole but a smart protofascist type, it will be much worse, I guess.
In the less likely case, Trump wins but fails obviously in office, even if he lasts 4 years both parties would have a chance to think hard and regroup.
