When people act like they like you, it's more likely because they want something from you than because they actually like you. And when you can't give that to them, they're more than willing to just abandon you. That's just as true in business as in politics. | ||

Holy fucking hell... You guys have that kind of bulshit on the radio!? I mean wtf I want to go back to the time when I tough Trump talking about how big his hands are were the lowest he could go. Now we have him talking about his daughter ass, telling us he sexually assault women and saying he went to the dressing room of his miss universe context to "inspect" naked womens. | ||

Trump's campaign has managed to bring Skittles and Tic-Tacs into the political arena. What's next? Mars Bars? Reese's Pieces? | ||

No one really had Pence on the radar, but at the last debate he proved to be a strong VP candidate. Honestly, Pence isn't really liked in Indiana, but Trump selected him because he was a clear fit for the type of individual he wants in his inner circle. I believe Trump will continue this type of selection through his cabinet, which lines more along the, 'others will be able to craft the details well enough.' On the other side, Tim Kaine was a pick just to secure Virginia in the electoral college. It was a political choice in which Hillary made to become elected. I find it interesting because the question you gave explains both candidates. Hillary will do back room deals to pass what they want, while Donald will hire more knowledgeable non-yes-men to correct issues plaguing this country. Of course, this is how I perceive both candidates. Others may see it differently. When people were talking about the short list for Trump, Pence was by and large the best of the bunch. I'm mostly in agreement on your diagnosis of why to vote Trump on policy, though I'd add school choice for education. The LGBT shouldn't really be a forefront issue for the executive. Shame about the eventual fuck-you martyring. Certainly tons of shitpost baiting in this thread and you gotta be more careful on the right side of the aisle with current moderation trends. | ||

A lot of them are just able to see that we shouldn't aspire to replace it with something even worse. | ||

Edit; And when all this started, Trump started doing well, I pointed out that he wanted to fuck his daughter. It still holds true, he would if he could. | ||
