Not interested in debating who would be the target in such a scenario. A little too grim for me.

Anyone want to argue with that? Bring it.
Your premise that everyone is a single issue voter and that a candidate's proclivity towards war is the only issue on which one's vote should be based is so spectacularly flawed, I'm speechless.


Your premise is wrong, therefore you conclusion is wrong.

It's a well-known fact CNN has more integrity than Fox, an arm of the Republican Party

If Trump supporters choose a candidate whose "proclivity" is war, then they cannot be surprised that those who never supported Trump have no interest in being the target for his "proclivity" toward war. The man took five deferments and apparently can't remember which foot was the issue. His sons never served either.

I have rarely read such a bigoted, hate-filled rant as the one being discussed.

As liberals say, "Haters gonna hate."

P.S. And as a Euro-white senior living in a mostly white Denver suburb, I have NEVER heard even one conservative say anything even close to wishing that s/he could be free to unabashedly call blacks the N-word! Also, although some conservatives (and, btw, I voted for Johnson) are definitely low-information bigots with below average IQ's, I doubt that this applies to the majority of those who voted for Trump. Some people voted for Trump only because they thought that Trump was the lesser of two evils. IMHO, they were wrong, but does the writer seriously want to condemn all conservatives living in rural America for the opinions of some?

That's pretty ridiculous since the man supported Keith Ellison. Through the course of his career he has met with Dems at least 50 times......what are they talking about? Can't be too much of an enemy when the Dems are willing to talk face to face with him.
