The word, "vile", was created for Donald Trump. "Vile" doesn't get any simpler or plainer. It doesn't. If you didn't recognize it months ago, then you're pretty much hopeless. My counter to that is that what a person says in public and what they say in private are two very different things. Trump for all I know could have been saying those things just to attract attention and get votes without ever truly believing them. Still bad, but not necessarily reflective of his true character (although a person that says the kinds of things he did in public is more than likely to have some quite concerning personality defects). But given that his is how he acts in private as well, it almost definitely confirms that he's seriously fucked in more ways than one. But, I think this might be one of the last times I try to rationalize his actions, I'm glad this ride is almost over | ||

Did you guys find that vile and disgusting and turn away, or did you watch it, knowing what it was about, laugh and enjoy it? Well, Donald was just ahead of the curve with grab her right in the pussy years before, the mans a genius. Now get off your high horses. Your posts and insults are awful. I don't know who you're assuming is laughing and enjoying the idea of sexual assault, but being disgusted by it is not a holier than thou high horse philosophy. It's called being a decent human being. | ||

At least put some quotes around that. But what he said he did and what he advocated one could get away with are certainly assault. | ||

Speaking for myself, I don't find stuff like that funny at all. That one clip of that guy ambushing the reporter with that quote -- I seriously hated that guy. I fucking hate people like that. I do imagine there are a lot of men who will not only excuse, but empathize with Trump's remarkably creepy behaviors And they no doubt are the people who think screaming obscenities at female reporters is hilarious. | ||

If he drops out, Pence steps in, and everyone comes out smelling like roses. Pence could actually win by being "not Hillary" and also "not Trump", and if he loses, Republicans blame a wacky 1 month election. | ||

Yeah I can get not being a huge hillary fan from your point of veiw, but, we've hit the point where its Hillary or Trump, and only one of them is even close to acceptable. Also Pence doesn't stand a chance against Hillary, hes both tied to trump and has all kinds of awful scandals of his own like basically creating a aids epidemic due to mismanagement and just awful governing. I've seen Hillary as the least bad canidate and the only one whose talked solid policy for a long time, at this point shes the only candidate who doesn't terrify me. | ||

It would've been a great thing for the world on many levels, and this was the perfect opportunity. Bernie could have really wiped away a lot of the bullshit that effects America's political discourse, especially when put in contrast to Trump's ego-driven empty campaign. But, I find it hard to think about that at all when the GOP are actually trying to elect Trump. I'll hate on Hillary after she wins. Call me blinded, call me a Hillary supporter, I don't care. And the WikiLeaks... Assange has turned out to be a really self-important grudge-keeper. I'm disappointed. This has turned out to just be another instance in a nauseatingly-long list of instances of people making exaggerated or false claim about Hillary Clinton. At this point, either prove she's a criminal... or just stop. Because for me, it's actually making me empathize with her. The best thing about her victory, for me, will be the spite of all the people who have spent decades demonizing this woman. I've read so many of these "damning" e-mails and sound-bites that I'm supposed to be outraged by, the Podesta emails, her Wall Street speech,... and there's nothing there! Most of what I see actually just shows she's an extremely pragmatic individual who actually does want to do good things. I mean, I was expecting some real right-wing stuff or political-collusion from that Wall Street speech... and I would've been okay with it to a degree. But really... it's just a normal speech. If anything, I've been pleasantly pleased by these things that WikiLeaks thinks should outrage me. If this is her "hidden secret", if this is her showing her inner right-wing side, then I'm totally good with voting for her. | ||

Her Wall street speeches show more that she was lying through her teeth to the left than anything criminal. Unless of course we're to believe she's lying to them after giving her millions of dollars and not to us (like she showed she was doing the whole campaign). A lot has been said about the lowering of the bar by Trump (and it's true), but Hillary has lowered the hell out of the bar on the left as well with little/no outcry from her supporters. | ||

If you make it look like what's coming is the worst thing in the world, then people will actually think pretty well of it when it's only "kind-of sort-of bad". | ||
