The Election is Rigged (I'm Going To Lose)

[Whateverist]

From where I stand, you may as well be talking about your favorite color, A Theist. They are both corrupt.

The difference to me is, who is thinking? Given the events recently, it's clear that Trump has shitty assessment skills behind a loud mouth. That's a really bad combination. The ability to measure one's rhetoric with the audience in mind is vital. Clearly Trump is either unable to measure his speech, or unable to measure his audience.

Either defect is a killer, but don't worry
.. come election night, when you're mourning, I'll still listen to your wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Hmmmm....Trump's big mouth or Hillary emailing classified information on a private server that's open to possible hacking. Clearly, Hillary's lack of thinking is far more dangerous to our national security than Trump's mouth.

Don't you ever get claustrophobic in such a closed mind?  Is there anything at all Trump could do or say which would be vile enough to make you dismiss him as a candidate for president?  A failure at rule following in regard to a newish but common mode of communication such as email doesn't even come close to things the Donald has done in his life or said in this election.

Meh. They both suck. The measure of extremism is how little you see this applies to both sides, and think it is only the problem of one side.

[Whateverist]

But can you be sure that Hillary's apparent sucking isn't owing to the persistence of Republican story crafting? I don't expect perfection in human beings. I think she is genuinely motivated to improve opportunities for working people even if she isn't a saint. Whether she is the brightest or best spoken .. meh. She'll do. I sure wouldn't want the job even if I was half as prepared as she is, she'll do. We should be grateful if anyone at all acceptable will accept the burden of that job.

Trump is obviously comfortable inviting foreign powers to spy on American servers if it serves his personal purpose. The difference between a big mouth and and personal server is that the first is deliberate invitation to espionage, and the latter is a stupid decision.

You'll forgive my rejecting your reasoning, given that you clearly haven't considered that. Intent matters.

What does Trump intend, besides egomania? You tell me, and we can get into gutbucket details right here.

Sharpen you knife, though. You won't get easy cutting.

No, not really. I'm no fan of Hilary Clinton, but comparing her and Trump is just ridiculous. The worst you can say about Hilary is that she's a politician - she's shrewd, opportunistic, dishonest, out of touch with reality and she panders to her base. Trump is not really a politician (not an  experienced one anyway), but he fancies himself one and he does everything most politicians do - like lying and pandering - only in much cruder form, that's more suitable for his unsophisticated voters. However, on top of being a newb politician and a demagogue Trump is also demonstrably a despicable human being.

I used to think less of anybody, who could stand to watch his displays of "c*ntiness" and ignorance  on a TV show - that had nothing to do with his political platform. I still can't quite comprehend how any half-decent person can not be experiencing a natural revulsion when confronted this overprivileged, bigoted, loudmouth, sleazy braggard, who seems to always find a way to say the most shameful possible thing, appealing to the worst of human instincts.

He doomed himself with losing the moment he said he would allow discrimination against people.

The Charger's badass. Is that yours?  '71, '72?

I wish it were. It's the car of my dreams I hope I'll have some day. The model is 1969.

I had a few nice muscle cars when I was younger. I use to do a lot of car trading way back when. I've had a '66 Chevelle SS, '68, 69, and '70 Chevelle SS's, '72 Nova SS with a modified LT1 350, and some classics, , '55, '56, '57 Chevys among others. The '56 Chevy I had was probably my favorite. Wish I would never have sold that one. I ended up buying the '57 when I sold the '56. I'm looking at hopefully buying a Dodge Express. The best of both worlds if you can't decide between buying a truck or a muscle car. It's powered by a Hemi that you can add more performance parts to.
This place is just a few minutes from me. They sell all makes and models of vintage muscle cars...

That is not the worst thing you can say about Hillary.

Haha, true. I don't have to reach far into my memory to find worse I can say about Hillary. I still agree with HN on his other assertion that comparing her and Trump is ridiculous. To me, it's like comparing eating a shit sandwich that wants to stab you in the eye to getting nuked in the face. I had a dream about that once. It was weird.

How dare you insult Hilary like that! You must be a Trump lover!

Fascist!

Hurr durr
