Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVIII: I'm OK, You're Deplorable

All Trump would have to say is, "Mr. Duke can vote for whomever he chooses. He's one vote in the electorate. Next question."

Trump, Pence, and their handlers aren't smart enough to figure that out.

Can you imagine where this election would be if these had happened:
  • Mr. Duke can vote for whomever he chooses. He's one vote in the electorate. Next question."
  • "I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Kahn for their sacrifice. Everyone who has given their life for this great country deserves our respect and gratitude."
  • "The wall is likely not feasible. I want to work with the Latinos and Latinas in this country as well as the governments of Latin America to solve the immigration problem."
  • "Sir, I am not worth of your Purple Heart." *pin it back on his lapel* "You should wear this with pride. Thank you for your service."

Yes, if Trump took this tact from the get go we'd be discussing a Jebbers!-Hillary contest! :eek:

Unfortunately, Joe Biden did not run in the Republican primaries.

I wrote up a whole screed on "PCness" on the old thread and learned a lesson: when the thread closes while you're writing a new post, your post is lost. Thpppt!

So, tl;dwtr: Both sides have PC totems. Liberals may be in control of campuses now, but in the past the shoe has been on the other foot and I didn't heard cries for intellectual freedom from the right. Likewise, there are plenty of public spaces still riddled with conservative prohibitions. The criticism of soldiers or cops or Christianity will get you a sock in the nose in plenty of places. Community standards all too frequently define what is permitted to be said, and we should fight against that whether the would-be transgressor is left or right. Voltaire and all that jazz.

The foaming at the mouth of the kneeling for the anthem is proof of that. Both sides have seem to live by "FREE SPEECH IS THE TOP RIGHT...unless I hate your speech than HOW DARE YOU SPEAK FREELY!!?!??!?!!1!!!"

Drumpf would never hire the right person for that...he doesnt care about PR and that is PR101. He believes any PR is good PR...which has served him well enough to lose ;)

There's only one problem with that: You just gave free air time to Mr. Duke's views. Duke wins (sorry for that last part UNC fans).

True, but Drumpf also gets free of him. Drumpf can be happy White Supremacists support til the cows come home but in public he needs to walk away from it not tacitly thank them by saying nothing.

Maybe it is like the movie Dave and the lookalike is actually a better candidate! Problem is Bill is no Sigourney Weaver ;)

I hope Kevin Kline made enough from that movie to last him several lifetimes. Highly underrated actor IMHO.

Loved the Oliver Stone cameo in that movie!

Yeah that was brilliant! :)

In other news:

I Am Sure He was Being Sarcastic Too!

“I want us to be able to fight ideologically, mentally, spiritually, economically, so that we don’t have to do it physically,” Bevin said during his speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington. “But that may, in fact, be the case.

“The roots of the tree of liberty are watered by what? The blood. Of who? The tyrants to be sure, but who else? The patriots,” he said. “Whose blood will be shed? It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren. I have nine children. It breaks my heart to think that it might be their blood that is needed to redeem something, to reclaim something, that we through our apathy and our indifference have given away. Don’t let it happen.”

You guys got yourself a real winner there Kentucky...if it wasnt for Bourbon I would ask for you to secede ;)
