Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I have never heard her characterized as even vaguely likeable.
Envision dating her daughter and having to deal with her and play nicey-nicey.
She's a shark, and not the good kind.

 

Give me a break. I told you exactly why I dislike her.

At my job, my immediate supervisor is a "strong" woman. In fact, all four women in my direct chain of command, all of whom are my superiors, are "strong" women.

They each have my utmost respect and admiration, not like they need or want it.

I'm married to a woman who's "stronger" than you'll ever know.

Save the sexism shit for someone else.

 

No, your answer was a bunch of empty bullshit.

 

There's really no point in discussing this with you.

 

My dislike for Clinton has nothing to do with genitalia. I like politicians like Rice and Warren fine. She's blown with the political winds since she and President Clinton emerged 25 years ago. Hell they were practically Republican in 92.

Now I appreciate politcal savy and shifting opinion to a certain point, but it seems to me she switches only after public opinion shifts, never before. From gay marriage to illegal immigration to Iraq, if it isn't the majority opinion, she doesn't hold it. Where was she advocating LGBT rights when running for the Senate? She declared on the Senate floor that marriage was a "sacred" bond between a man and woman. Evolving? She's done a hell of a lot of it.

That said, I'll happily vote for her over Trump in a battle of the disingenuous. Clinton if far more qualified for the Presidency.

 

Look, I have no doubt a lot of it is because she's a woman. People will cite qualities that make her unlikeable that wouldn't register with a male candidate.

At the same time, she comes across as extremely calculating and fairly cold. I don't know that I really have a sense of what she truly believes in. There's plenty there to admire; I'm not sure there's much there to like.

Having said that, I don't think she's significantly less likable than anyone else in the race. Bernie bugs the shit out of me, despite his politics being the most closely aligned to my own. I can't imagine spending 5 minutes with Cruz or Trump without strangling them.

So, I'll vote for her and only hold my nose a little. All things considered, I'm pretty happy with that.

 

Who's dropping out? Not your boy. He's costing his party the election.

 

Well, shit, who can disagree with that?

 

Sez the guy who ran away from the board when his candidate lost.

 

That's a perfectly legitimate answer. I think it captures a huge part of the "unlikeable" critics' feelings. I'll add that she doesn't get to knock on the door of being the first female president had she not leveraged the instincts you most dislike about her.

 

If I instinctively don't like someone I don't search for a reason to justify it.
