Campaign 2016 Part XXIII: The Penultimate Thread

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXIII: The Penultimate Thread

Hillary shouldn't be afraid of appearances nor interviews. She owned the debates and she can navigate those supposed mine fields just as adeptly. The "I'm not a Trumpsters" cabal here has completely exaggerated what she'd be up against. No fear. ;)

During the time in which they've whined that she didn't go on a pundit show she did over 300 interviews.

That was just FNC et al. crying that she wouldn't play their game.

She kills in one-on-ones. Her only real weakness is in big arenas, and she'll not have to do another one of those until the 2020 convention.

The Hillary Haters here are wonderful. The "concerned" and "troubled" talking points go in via the Echo Chamber, they go round and round hate radio, and they come out here. :p

Useless question. Nobody said she or any other recent candidate was "truly great." She's just light years better than the alternative. Light years.

Seems like your problem is your party voted in Trump.

For some of us, Hillary, like Obama before her, fit our views quite nicely. I've been for Clinton since she announced the platform she was going to run on. Most of the left's issue with her were listening to the crap the right has out for her, and thinking it's partially true.

You don't like it, and that's fine. But she's not a bad candidate just because you don't agree with her positions.

To me, the e-mail thing is silly- there are plenty of people I work with who use their work related smart phones for personal stuff, and I'm 100% sure that people send work home that should not be sent home. Hillary is guilty of doing something that everyone does. And the ratio of potential harmful things to actual email is so incredibly small that it could be bad judgement, but it's not illegal that she should go to jail. Stupid to pretend that.

Some say Bengazi- the easy reply is BinLiden. Bush's guys f-d up intel, and we got 9/11- and he's not going to jail over that- he got re-elected. Intel isn't perfect, nor are humans.

To me, all of this, again, is made up because of who she is, and not for real stuff. Some even because she is a she.

If your party selected a bad person to vote for, sucks for you. Don't hang that on the other party.

So Jane Does cancelled her PC cause she said she was threatened. Normally I wound call bs on that but considering what Drumpfers have been doing of late I totally buy it.

Actually not my party at all, but if you are a hyper partisan person, I can see why it would be hard for you to understand that some of us would like to look at, evaluate and choose from two potentially good candidates. This year is more like trying to choose between having diarrhea or vomiting.

Being hyper partisan and saying your parties candidate is a great candidate does not make it so.

And really? Comparing the Secretary of State's emails to using your personal iPhone to schedule a copy paper delivery or something like that is pretty silly isn't it?

Trump is obviously a horrible candidate and cannot be president. I don't think Hillary is a good candidate because she comes with too much baggage, seems to have questionable judgment and is not a particularly inspiring person. The unusually high unfavorable ratings of the candidates should speak as to how good of a candidate they each are.

Obama, Romney and McCain (until he selected Sarah Pailin) were all great candidates (particularly when compared to the options we have this year).

Obama? Romney? McCain? What type of baggage did they have in their history as compared to the current candidates? Maybe some, but I don't think it comes close to comparing.

I think Joe Biden would have been a great candidate? What type of baggage does he have that would compare to either of these two?

You guys can keep saying this like it's true. It's an election between a historically bad and dangerous candidate and someone the righties have been indoctrinated to hate.

Acme was used for Loony Tunes, by WB, Tom and Jerry was unrelated to them and never gave a brand name to their products.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXIII: The Penultimate Thread

I'd just like to point out that last week, after the Cleveland Indians took a commanding 3-1 series lead, the Chicago Cubs had a smaller chance of winning the World Series than Trump did the Presidency.
fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-cubs-have-a-smaller-chance-of-winning-than-trump-does/

As of right now, the Chicago Cubs are leading game seven.



I do not want to live in the timeline where Trump wins the Presidency...
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXIII: The Penultimate Thread

Cubs win WS, Trump wins presidency, Armageddon. It was fun, folks

Oh I don't disagree with his situation and the circumstances as to why he didn't run.

Obviously tragic for him personally, and potentially tragic for the country.
