Well, if you had read the post I was responding to you would realize that I was simply parroting the deflection that was aimed at me, asking me why I was here instead of out volunteering for my candidate. Context is everything.

My friend and I actually had a lot of fun. Rarely have laughed so much since, although I have a feeling a Trump rally would give Tea Parties a run for their money in that regard.

I felt the same way about those stupid Occupy rallies. Unlike the TEA Party events that I attended, a majority of the Occupiers trashed the area around the courthouse, some even defecating out in the open. Disgusting and completely turned me off from their message.

Please show me where I said this. You asked me who I would vote for if Sanders didn't become the Democratic nominee and I said my second choice would be Clinton.

In what universe does that translate to me stating I will "vote for the Democrat nominee no matter who it is"?

Well, outside of the bizarro world of Waldokitty, anyway?

LOL! Should we ask how many evangelicals live in Trump Tower?

If he thinks that Cruz supporters will come to his side, he can dream.
You totally missed what he was actually saying. Ted Cruz's father IS a dry drunk, a liar, a hypocrite and a charlatan. This "Christian" abandoned his two daughters and he never tried to rectify his wrongs. And he's told a lot of fish stories to his son who idolizes him like a lot of ACOA's do (Adult Children of Alcoholics).

And Ted Cruz is using the Evangelicals just like GWB did. You can't see it, that's OK. One day you will.

I did my homework on that "minister". I encourage you to do the same.

Trump has a lot of flaws, but he's a good salesman. He can "read" people like nobody's business. Trump is also a veteran of many lawsuits. You better believe he had old man Cruz checked out

Topic is about Constructive Criticism of Trump. Obviously a partisan, who says it doesn't matter what the candidate says or does, isn't going to do this.

You claimed that Trump can't speak better than young kids that you know. This fact simply puts that statement into light. The speeches posted here prove otherwise.

Oh, I read it.

So, when do you plan to start volunteering for the candidate of your choice? Have you ever volunteered to help any candidate? Before you throw that question back at me, I'll answer. Yes, I have done so---even participated as a local delegate so that a candidate could get the party nomination. Now, your turn.

I see. I think that from an anthropological point of view, seeing is believing.

Yes, I have. I've worked phone banks and rang doorbells. Haven't done it this election season yet, but I probably will.

You didn't go in to like him. Stop pretending you are an impartial observer. He is what he is and if you don't like it shop elsewhere.

Tonight, his talk was same ole, same ole. If you heard him a week ago, nothing different tonight.

VERY FRUSTRATING.
He's an idiot. Many of us have been saying this for awhile (Since August). Americans will deserve who they get if they let this guy in the W.H.

However, Clinton is equally as bad.

Maybe the best thing for the Democrats is if GOP wins with Trump, he gets kicked out of office/impeached DEMs win the WH back in 2020.
