Your child is beautiful, its instinctual but not in a sexual sense. That's just wrong.

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.

But the pure anti-establishment base can't win the election, he can dig in as deep as he wants. Driving mainline Conservatives and swing voters away means that he'll lose.

titan -> do you vote on general capability to enact/design good policy, or on people who's policy choices align with yours?


After my post, there were 3 comments. 2 were Hillary supporters foaming at the mouth because I spoke against her, and the third was yours, a good question. So, I will respond to yours.

His policy choices align with mine and the direction I would like the country to take in the next 4 years. Immigration, education (removal of common core), foreign policy, and economy.

I could care less about social issues. I'd rather get the country profitable and growing before worrying about LGBT or gender issues.

are you concerned that his seeming lack of policy knowledge will hinder his ability to actually make useful policies once it gets down into the gritty details of implementation? or do you think that as long as he sets the general aim, others will be able to craft the details well enough?


I believe he is a smart individual in selecting successful people to work for him. 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.

Well, if Trump manages to win with 0 ground game supplied by the RNC in the month before the election I think he can make a legitimate case for a divine mandate even if he is an atheist.

Wouldn't be surprised if most people were anti-establishment. A lot of them are just able to see that we shouldn't aspire to replace it with something even worse.

High ranking Republicans were pressured to endorse for a reason. It was necessary for a chance at winning. There isn't some revolution taking place.

Yep, he is abandoning ship.

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.

I dunno what will actually happen if Pence straight-up drops out. Would he just pick a replacement VP?
