46480. wabbit - 9/4/2016 9:36:32 PM So, now Trump knows who the moderators will be. Note to the networks...please, PLEASE don't change the moderators to appease him. Bring in the Libertarians, the Greens, any and all the other groups who have a candidate. Let Trump sit it out. And then DO NOT make him the news story with whatever rebuttal his team comes up with the following day.
Sigh...if only... 46481. arkymalarky - 9/5/2016 1:24:08 AM the fourth estate in this country is truly pathetic. I forget it until an election rolls around, and then I remember it again. 46482. iiibbb - 9/8/2016 2:12:27 PM I'm starting to think most people in most ventures are barely qualified pretenders.
This includes myself. 46483. thoughtful - 9/8/2016 2:57:11 PM Last night after the commander in chief forum, I figured it out. I know what trumps secret plan is for dealing with isis. He will nuke them. He's already said he wants to bomb the s*** out of them, in a briefing he asked 3 times, if we have nukes why can't we use them, and he wants to get nukes to s. korea and japan.
One can only hope that, if he does get elected, the generals are able to tell him how many nukes are aimed at the US with his good buddy Pooty-poot's finger on the button.
It would also explain why he doesn't care about climate change. Nuclear annihilation makes that irrelevant. 46484. arkymalarky - 9/8/2016 6:12:51 PM I can5t believe this guy is the nominee of a major political party. I've never been so scared of an election in my life. 46485. judithathome - 9/8/2016 8:39:25 PM Well, we can count out Gary Johnson as an alternative after this mornings debacle on Morning Joe....when asked how he would handle Aleppo he asked "What's Aleppo?"
Seriously....that is what he said. It's all over the news...I would bet big bucks there will not be a third podium at any of the debates. He needed to get to 15% and is at 9 or 10....or WAS, before that asinine remark.
It was almost worth it, though, to see that blow-hard Scarborough literally lose it afterward. Heh. 46486. arkymalarky - 9/9/2016 12:40:22 PM Suits me. I don't want a repeat of 2000. Although the court wouldn't do the same thing, the nightmare scenario would be thrown into the House of Representatives to decide 46487. arkymalarky - 9/13/2016 2:35:47 AM Arkansas is very hard on respiratory systems and really provokes allergies, sinusitis and bronchitis and lung problems, and I really think that living in Arkansas impacted Hillary and Bill Clinton. Anybody who lives here it's not going to be that impressed about people getting walking pneumonia and laryngitis and having to take allergy shots or the other stuff people go on about with reguard to Hillary and Bill Clinton's health. 46488. judithathome - 9/13/2016 9:46:39 PM Well, unfortunately, unless you actually KNOW someone from Arkansas and have been there and SEEN this happening to your friend...9/10ths or more of America have no idea to what you are referring.
Instead, they would rather believe Hillary is weak and Trump is STRONG because his pot-smoking, long-haired wacky Gastro doc wrote a half-page incoherent note under time constraints that he IS.
Get ready, America...we are going to have a bigger bufoon than GW as president and reap what we've (or a majority of dunces) have sowed for us....
Seriously, I am old enough that I hope I am spared this by literal death...too old to start anew in some Avalon that is NOT the USA with a Trump Presidency....
46489. arkymalarky - 9/14/2016 12:58:31 AM I'm not ready to throw in the towel quite yet. Obama just getting started, to say nothing about bill and Sanders and Warren. She's got the best surrogates of any president probably in history, certainly in my lifetime. 46490. judithathome - 9/14/2016 4:59:21 PM And they've already started in on Obama, saying he should be back in the WH doing his job instead of galavanting around the country stumping for Hillary...the fact unemployment is down and he's kept us safe from attacks by foreign powers for almost eight years can just pound sand...he needs to be WORKING, dammit!
Meanwhile, Congress has been on what seems like a 7 year recess....
Trust me, when Trump is in office and "running things", the nation will be BEGGING him to go on vacation as often as possible. 46491. judithathome - 9/16/2016 9:56:06 PM I am getting more and more afraid that the lunatics have taken over asylum...did no one else see King of Hearts 46492. wabbit - 9/16/2016 11:53:01 PM Haven't seen that movie in years...but I was having the same thought today. I'd really like to believe that if the D wins, and sadly he might, after four years we could do better. But I don't think so. The fanatics are immovable. They don't think, they feeeeelll, and the D knows how to push every button. The press is afraid of him, which I do not understand, so he gets a pass on just about everything. He was right, he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue (or wherever) and it wouldn't make a dent in his popularity.
As bad as he is, his acolytes are scarier. 46493. judithathome - 9/17/2016 1:34:50 AM Hey, people...take a long hard look at your next President:Let's Just Kill Hillary, Okay 46494. arkymalarky - 9/18/2016 12:27:50 AM As a teacher, the rejoinder I hate to hear the most is "all I said was...." I shut that down quick when a kid starts to try it. That is Trump's Constant defense of himself. 46495. arkymalarky - 9/18/2016 2:46:41 AM God cast this country an amazing pearl 8 years ago. November 8th we will see if He cast it before swine. I don't believe so. I really don't. 46496. arkymalarky - 9/18/2016 3:13:39 PM The Alt Right thinks they see a hole through which they can slither into the White House, and they are wrong. Americans will not choose fear and hate. And even if they did, the Alt Right are "deplorable" losers in every sense of both words. 46497. winstonsmith - 9/19/2016 1:59:41 AM The country is pretty polarized and, given a generic Democrat and Republican, it would probably be a tight race. It seems like all Trump has to do is dial it back a bit and we see a reversion to the mean. Republicans are dying to believe that he will be OK and it doesn't take much to tip them toward him. The debates will probably be the most watched in history and may well decide the race. 46498. winstonsmith - 9/19/2016 2:12:33 AM And... The republicans are hungrier. After 8 years of media pandering to their worst fears about Obama, they are ready to come out and vote.
And... Democrats, especially young ones, are spoiled by 8 years of Obama. They have seen the rapid pace of social change and want more. They don't realize how big a swath of the country will do anything they can to slow it down. The young are not satisfied with Clinton and could end up with Trump because they are unrealistic. 46499. arkymalarky - 9/19/2016 3:24:56 AM Here in AR it comes down to guns with the Trump people I've talked to. They don't seem interested in any other issue.
