Vibes....

Right now the vibes are really vibrating for just a few, with many vibeless running for POTUS.

It does not take any hacked polling to know who is getting the vibe and who is not.



What worked to take down Ron Paul when he had the vibe, has not worked on "The Donald".

  3. You got quite indignant when those polls were contradicted by the one I posted.
  4. See 3.
  5. This doesn't make any sense. Biden isn't even running.
Bottom line. Even you now seem to be resigned to the fact that the King is now crashing and burning since you now drag Biden into the conversation even though he isn't a candidate. That alone speaks volumes to these old dusty polls that you keep citing.
Is "fallacious" a word of the month? You seem to be in love with that word.

You keep deflecting, probably because you don't have an answer. Your statement is ridiculous, as no poll reflects the "present", it only reflects the period during which the poll was conducted (which could be over 4-5 days). You still have not stated when a poll becomes stale - you can't because you don't know. That's okay, I understand your reluctance to admit you are wrong.

Why am I mentioning Biden? Because (i) conservatives think Biden is such a joke - hence if a joke can beat their frontrunner by a good margin, what does it say?, and (ii) if Biden (who hasn't even entered) and Sanders (an unelectable socialist) can defeat said frontrunner in their sleep, basically a generic Democrat-to-be-named-later can beat him, too.

With the way this election season's been going back and forth: IMHO the 1st Tuesday of November 2016 will be real interesting, especially if both Jen and Hillary are knocked out.

  • Because fallacious response is quite common with those who can't stick to facts and logic in dealing with inconvenient fact. Your comment "Your are in love with that word" is yet another example.
  • Deflecting? That would be long prose attempting to argue that old poll is relevant now.
  • Yet again you are fighting the false war of conservative vs liberal. See my first bullet.

I agree. I'd love to see him debate the Donald guy off the stage. They're both aggressive and have a wicked way with words, but Graham knows of what he speaks.

I think Webb is very smart; he's biding his time and isn't going to get involved in a verbal match with the Trumpet until and unless he must. Think of the nice contrast that scenario would make: a screaming, egomaniac vulgarian who changes his mind every other minute, bosses everyone around and thinks he knows so much about policy vs. a calm, well spoken man who DOES know policy upside-down, backwards and forwards.

They'd both blow the blowhard into space, and I'd love to see it on live TV.

Does anyone know what you are talking about? I swear that is nuttier than a pet 'coon. Can you please try explaining that in a language we can easily understand?

Obama gave off that vibe, Reagan gave off that vibe and so on.

I hope you are right about Webb. I have not heard a peep from him in a while.
