BruceVC Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 The race. Debate is alway debateble depending on the point of view. Yes he is way ahead of other candidates but its still early days and right now Trump has support of the Republican conservative base...they like what he is saying but I'm expecting both Cruz and Rubio to start gaining traction "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Guard Dog Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The only two candidates left I want to see in the White House are Rubio & Paul. Paul has no shot and Rubio is the best of what's left. Rubio is a plan B, a second option. You go to the movies to see Star Wars VII but it's sold out so you go see Creed instead. It's like that. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Rubio, he is very intelligent and articulate I am fascinated by the whole Cruz\Rubio tension. And Paul comes across very convincing but I don't think there is much support for his views "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Neither talks either about putting pressure on Turkey to stop try to outrussian the Russians. - Absolutely not in any way. Syria consists of so many people and religions that only a slow process is, if ever, possible. Assad is the only secular leader that can represent Syria as sovereign at the moment. Those 200 000 could turn into much more if any other faction tries to usurp power. - I bet Putin likes Trump the most, of which pretty much the middle east fears the most. Russia and US best pals? Oooh boy. But those points have little to do what i am wondering about. My point is that neither side has implied any changes in policy that would radically change the western influence for the worse on a global scale, as you suggested. //edit: I am more worried about the future leaders of the next generation emerging from the universities: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/12/16/yale-fail-ivy-leaguers-caught-on-video-clamoring-to-kill-first-amendment/ Edited December 17, 2015 by Meshugger "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...that doesn't change any western influence for the worse, so we're just back to nitpicking the finer details. Aligning with Iran before the Russians do should be a top priority though, and i am not talking about through some petty Realpolitik revolution, but rather a normalization of relations. The next generation is veeeery secular and likes freedom, rock 'n roll and bubblegum and almost threw out the old leadership by themselves a few years ago. All they need is to be treated seriously and respectfully as any other nation and they will be an ally within a generation. That way the only card that the Russians have, simply not being USA, will be then proven useless. At the same time the influence of Israel goes back to a normal country and Saudi as well, and they hate it that and effectively lobby against any Iranian normalisation.

Also, Hillary said that she would break communications with Russia so she is also a prime candidate for starting a World War. Which; let's be frank, will likely happen when a Muslim extremist bombs Israel and they enact their Samson option.

Zoraptor Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The media climate is so streamlined that you pretty much have reach out to the edges to get anything other than the same pizza of opinions. Well yeah, the media landscape is garbage. But the Daily Fail and Rupert Murdoch aren't the edges by any stretch of the imagination, they're just mass market outrage bait and the opposite side of the coin from archetypal 'Nazi SJW Daily News' 'progressive' outrage bait, they could both just as easily be run by Gawker. They're as much part of the problem as the agenda pushing media you disagree with. It's infectiously stupid, lazy and designed to hook people just as much as any drug is. I'm equal opportunity when it comes to media analysis; I hate the spineless, censorious, preachy 'progressive' press and the arbitrary, dishonest, differently preachy 'conservative' press with an equal passion; and both sides obsession with writing what might as well be fairy tale narratives rather than facts.
