Number geeks, understand numbers.....that's the easy part. Understanding people is far harder.

In mathematical science it's easy to determine how many times a bowling ball will hit the ground when thrown off a roof. The actions of people can not always be determined by their actions in the past. There are also a whole list of things numbers can't determine.

If it was simply numbers the guy picked at #199 in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft never would have made the impact he has.

It's kinda sad that some people feel that way. People should be able to publicly support whomever they want without being criticized in a negative way. As soon as you say you are a Trump supporter you are called a racist, bigot, moron, etc...
We have seen the violence. They mean to intimidate Trump supporters. I bet most aren't even bright enough to know that we have "secret" ballot.

It goes beyond dislike. She is proven liability. I also think that she is not up to the job in a moral, mental or physical capacity.

No candidate. Are you ashamed of your candidate or don't you have a legal right to vote?

So, this proves my point yet again. The anti-Trumps are too ashamed of their candidate, if they have one, to actually step up and name the candidate. You really have to wonder what that is. If I were so ashamed of my candidate that I went and looked up stupid video clips to change the subject rather than claim them, I would see that was a message that maybe I was supporting the wrong candidate.

Then, again, WestCobb, may be another Trump supporter just keeping him at the top of the forum. Maybe, not even someone who has the right to vote.

My guess is that those that are too ashamed to claim their candidate are indeed Hillary fans. Endorsing that corruption, the lying, the cheating, well, I would be ashamed too.

Only if her dead people base is caught voting.

I think the Strumpets are scared of either losing or winning. I think they would prefer losing because their paranoia and helplessness would be reinforced. I also think they fear winning because then they would actually have to run the country and even the densest of them realize they do not know how to do that.

The first thing they would have to face is that their dear leader has been lying to them all along about a number of issues. There are fewer illegal aliens entering through the border than ever. Most come in legally.

Also wondering why Trump has never said boo about the Cuban refugees who come in legally and are handed everything they need free and immediately. Is it because it doesn't get people as hysterical and revved up as if they think people are 'breaking the rules' (the opposite of the authoritarianism that they so adore).

Awww...you're back to using your term of endearment for him. "Donny". You've said you only voted once in your life and that was for Obama in '08. People I've met who don't vote, don't even care who the candidates are. And you, as an admitted non-voter, have allowed Trump to live in your head.

It's bad form to call people out on being untruthful while doing the same thing.

There is no denying, Trump is certifiable, he is vulgar, not that bright, and ill equipped to run a country as diverse and complicated as America. Sure, he has made some money in real estate, big deal, but that in no way qualifies him to be President. I think we are seeing mini-Hitler in the making, and that part is scary.

I don't think the Trumpies are running scared........yet. They have gotten on this horse and are going to ride it to the end. They are so blinded by hatred and anger that they feel a man like Trump is going to stick it in the faces of conventional / traditional politicians and effect some sort of positive change.

Me, I am going to sit back with a cold Corona and watch this thing unfold. This circus of an election is certainly more entertaining than any of the usual reality shows on TV, and Saturday Night Live will have material to last them the rest of 2016, and maybe beyond.


Don


Trump is "not that bright"? How many people do you know who are "not too bright" that turned $1 million into billions? If "not too bright" people are able to do it, then why aren't they all billionaires?

What qualified Obama to be president? What qualified Hillary?

Don, I think it is you who is "so blinded by hatred and anger". "Mini-Hitler"? Not only did you invoke Godwin's Law but that is really far off base.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle are beholden to their mega-rich donors and put said donors ahead of their constituents. This has been going on for far too long. We used to expect and get better from the democrats as they truly looked out for the poor, working and middle classes. Today's dems put illegal aliens ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed Americans. That's not acceptable to me. Neither party is looking out for Americans but at one time we could expect dems to have done so.

I want better from my grandkids than business as usual. Business as usual is what has gotten us in the mess we are in today. It needs to stop.
