I will say it's quite interesting watching the reactions to those Republicans who have disavowed Drumpf. Murkowski up here is feeling the brunt of it in her reelection campaign with the Trumpers calling her a RINO and many outside the party calling her wimp for not doing it earlier.

I'm fascinated to see how this plays out. While the guy is still favored, I'm going to be watching if the Ohio Senate race gets closer, not because Stickland gets more popular, but because Trumpsters revolt against Portman coming out against Trump.

The revolt is happening up here against Murkowski, especially with Joe Miller in the race, I wouldn't be surprised to see it elsewhere.

Captain Khan's Dad responded to Drumpf saying his son would be alive if he had been president: “The only thing that #TrumpSacrifices is the truth.”. :)

Logic says what tD said was true. A false if statement (I was the president) makes all then conclusions true.

Similar was HRC saying she represented American interests as SecState. Mrs. Clinton - that's part of the SecState job description.

Are we really that gullible?

Maybe this belongs under Conspiracy, but are we sure Mrs. tD is not a KGB plant?

Actually, Melania looks somewhat like ***** Galore, and tD looks like Auric Goldfinger with a haircut. Acts like him too, only Goldfinger was in with the Chinese, not the Russians.

I will admit this. Of all the nonsense Donald Trump has spouted over the past couple of years, his comments directed to the Khan's are the least offensive to me. I know that sounds horrible to say, and strangely enough, those comments may actually be the most offensive to the most people in this country, but they just don't bother me.

The Khan's suffered a horrible loss. But they either chose to, or were suckered by the Clinton campaign into, politicizing that loss and injecting themselves into what has been one of the more deplorable campaigns of our lifetime. Politics is a dirty effing business. Once you decide to wade in, don't cry to me if people say offensive things to you.

See this is our limitation as humans. As educated as we may be, we sometimes feel like things only started during our lifetimes. If we didn't experience it, it never really happened.

Partisan politics is as old as politics itself. If you want to amuse yourself, just google something like "partisan political fights in the 1800's" or choose the 1700's or whenever. Great examples of people acting every bit as nasty, childish and partisan, if not more so, than we see today.

From purely a political standpoint, sure. But for have it to spread through the citizens as it has...

Especially when you limit the look back in time- it hasn't been this nasty for quite a while. Regan worked well with a Democratic congress, Nixon passed many environmental rules- NEW- AND went to visit one of our major RED SCARE countries. That was like our current President going to Iran.

Sure there were many things that fell on party lines, but there has been a lot more compromise in the previous 40 years than the last 22.

It seemed like we were past the Civil War's non-bending attitudes.

How? Back when Khan's son died- tD was for the war. Even said so. Logic suggests we would have been in the same predicament, if not worse due to tD's much shorter fuse.

For those that missed it in the thread that closed earlier today, How the R's win the White House, the only way*, after last weekend:

- Trump comes out and signs a pledge that if he wins he'll take office Jan 20 and resign Jan 21**.

There. I said it.
It satisfies the #NeverHillary crew. The #NeverTrump crowd doesn't suffer "Agent Orange" for four years. And the 60% that find Hillary unfavorable and the 67% that find Trump unfavorable would finally have any option besides "Allepo? World leader?" and the Morton County Vandal.


*My four-week notion from last week just no longer works. Even an epic Hillary debacle won't stop Wall Street's bought-and-paid-for hand-maid at this point.
**SPOILER: Trump would never do it for the good of the party. Too much ego.

Also, this isn't logically correct.

If I were blond haired, then two plus two would equal five.

Just because the first statement is false doesn't mean the then statement is automatically true.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXI: Do you love farce? My fault, I fear.

I can't wait till 4 years from now when they go through the same thing cause they think the only problem this time was Trump. It's going to be epic.

So you're agreeing she did her job?

As SecState she did what her boss told her to do. The "reset" with Russia did not turn out the way they thought it would. The Middle East was/is more of a mess now then before.

Was the US foreign policy during the Obama/Clinton reign in the best interests of the US? That would be worth a good 60 minute debate.
