Interesting, but this line in particular caught my attention. Despite popular belief, America has been pulled to the right for the past 30 years. That has to change. On what planet has America been pulled to the right? WTF is this guy talking about? We haven't had a genuinely right wing president since Coolidge; just moderates and a few leftists. All policies have been moving to the left as well. We got the interventionist foreign policy the left wanted and we went from a capitalist economy to a mixed one. In what area, any at all; have the right won anything in not only the 30 years, but even the last 60? Pretty much ever since FDR got elected it's either the left getting what it wants, or a compromise that slightly favors the left.

About time. I'm not a fan of moderates blurring the lines. Makes it harder to tell what's to blame when socialism makes it's usual nose dive into failure. Either be capitalist all-the-way or don't bother being capitalist at all.

What are your thoughts on this guy? If he had only removed his shirt it would have been funny. Removing his pants too is where he went too far.

People really seem to be drawn to him Never underestimate the power of left-wing populism and a likable personality He's consistent and principled; that's what I like about him. He doesn't spend years trying to fight gay rights; then pretend that he cares about gay people.

WHAT THE F*** DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?! What do you think it means?

Trump never should have suggested that he would debate Sanders. This is probably his first meaningful mistake. As cowardly as it was; Trump was right to not debate Sanders. He has nothing to gain and has a bit to lose.

that's nice, but he will still have to go How come?

Sponge Bob is a terrible choice. He's easily manipulated, tends to go over WAY overboard on petty issues, has extreme emotional outbursts at unpredictable times, is generally incompetent, and is a weenie. He'd actually be worse than Hillary. Which is saying a lot. Trump would be the best choice of the three.

"Trust in handle immigration": Clinton 50% - Trump 44% Tehehehe. What exactly do you mean? How? Where to begin? How 'bout with the Mexico wall. I don't care how high you build a wall, people will get over it. The shear expense of building it could bankrupt our society while Trumps buddies collect millions from the contracts to build it. Next, Trump has FAILED at every business he has tried. He is still worth approximately what he inherited from Daddy. Such a record of failure gives me every reason to believe he will destroy the US economy. If you watch his interviews, he appears to me to be a very ignorant, or perhaps insane, man. That's already enough to scare the 'whatever' out of me. I watched an interview with him where the interviewer asked him what he thought about being endorsed by David Duke (Grand Dragon Emeritus of the KKK). Trump kept responding that he didn't know the man and has never done business with him. What difference does that make? If Trump is a closet Ayrian, that could destroy the USA. And having the "football" in his possession scares me to no end. He could, without authorization from anyone, launch a nuclear attack against any country, even Arizona (small chuckle). He would need to get us to def con 5 first, but that doesn't take much. Trump has had 8% of his companies fail, the average for an entrepreneur is 80%. His net worth is 10 billion, and he started with 40 million. He said he would pay for the wall through increased border fees, temp visa fees, tariffs on goods not covered under NAFTA, etc. Not direct payments from mexico. Check out that Untruth about Donald Trump video. Contrasts media attention to his actual policies and statements. I was under the impression that Sweet_Sadie was joking.

He doesn't need congress to do squat. MEXICO WILL PAY FOR IT.

You won't be missed. Silly Namutree.You won't be rid of me, Europe has had the internet since at least 2010 LOL. I don't mind you being here on the forum. Just please do as you said you would and leave the country after Trump wins.

You won't be missed.

As I suspected. As things go on Clinton will get more and more unpopular, and Trump will get less and less hated.

I'm reminded of a joke about how most Silicon Valley folks(programmers and stuff, not necessarily executives) are all libertarians until their jobs are in danger of being outsourced or taken. The argument is that whatever principles whatever group has are going to be jettisoned in times of crisis by a good number of members of whatever group in favor of what they perceive to be self-interest. I'm not sure if it's true in every case, but I've noticed a lot of people from varying ideologies willing to accept, or even support, things that are antithetical to their ideology and rhetoric because there's some pressing issue that overrides their core principles. Self-interest is in human nature. Ideology and our environment can guide us to a certain extent, but it can never change us to the very core of our being. The people who are willing to stand by their principles against their own interest are an extreme minority and likely have a genetic defect of some kind.

Guard Dog, if people were free, how would we stop those grown adults from smoking pot, and force some random bakery to make a cake for a gay wedding? Geez, you need to work on your priorities. Haphazardly screwing with other people's lives over issues that you don't understand is more important than freedom.

If the people threatening to leave the country if Trump becomes president really do it, America actually will become great again. I think it's a great idea.

**** me man, how am I supposed to top that when I die? Do what I'm gonna do. I intend to have this played at my funeral. A final joke.

Bill Krystal is a buffoon, but he's right that Trump isn't going to touch Roe v Wade.

I ain't never explain nuthin' to no foreign folk and I ain't never gunna!

Not funny. I'd have too agree. It's not funny.

Eh, I dunno. I tend to think of racism as racial bigotry. Nothing bigoted about finding the accent of other nation's people amusing. I mock the accent of southerners all the time; am I racist against the American south? EDIT: I also mock the Canadian accent too.

The Email situation just highlights one of her most serious flaws. She doesn't know anything. She has a poor grasp on how technology works; which is pretty important in this era. She also has terrible judgement: Should we invade Iraq? Hillary: Derp, let's do it. Should we interfere in Libya? Hillary: Derp, let's do it. Should we assist the Syrian rebels against Assad? Hillary: Derp, let's do it. Don't try and insinuate that Hillary has convictions. For the sake of a thought experiment though; let's pretend she does: Hillary supported the sanctions on Iraq. The same sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people (including children). She was well aware of this. Please explain to me how this does not make her a terrible person? I'm pretty sure that if my convictions lead to me supporting the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people you'd consider me a bad person. At least I'd hope so. I know that Hillary is a democrat (that makes her good by default; after all, she's "progressive") and the people she helped starve to death were Muslims (do they really count as full humans?), but please don't just give her a pass.

Imagine how inflamed many would be if Trump made that statement. A statement far more sexist than anything he actually has said. I never found her attractive either. Kinda pasty looking and overly pronounced features. A skeleton face if you will. Now, if her face was a bit less pale and rounder she'd be a lot better looking. Example:
