Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Great. Theo Epstein should run the country. Or Marty Scorsese.

 

Yes, I'd vote for HW over Hillary. My answer wasn't that opaque.

I'd also vote for John McCain over Hillary. Or Romney.

 

They probably won't. But combined, I'd put them at about the same odds as Trump presidency.

 

That's true. But it doesn't really matter. In fact, I thought about not including Obama's education on that brief recitation of his resume. I mean, who cares, really, once you've worked.

 

This stuff can change like the weather, of course, but, right now, I'm guessing we're in for a pretty sustained period in which Democrats control the White House and probably the courts and Republicans control the House, Senate, and most state-level politics.

 

Let me be clear here ... I don't really give a rat's patoot what happens to the Republican party. It just makes me sick that, from here on out, small-government types are going to be reflexively lumped in with that bilious piece of shit.

 

Maybe it's time to bring sabre-metrics to Washington. If Paul DePodesta can make The Browns a winner he would be my choice.

 

Shouldn't Cruz have been forced to carry his abortive campaign to term?

As to Trump, he lies reflexively. Not small lies to cover up a flaw, not a believable lie designed to camouflage a policy weakness. He piles whopper on whopper with no real nod to believability. I mean, who really believes that Ted Cruz's father had anything to do with the JFK assassination? Then later that day Trump is saying how much he likes and admires Cruz and his family. Yeesh.

 

Can we pause for a moment to consider the fact that Donald Trump, running in a much larger field, wrapped up the nomination before the inevitable Hillary Clinton, who had a single, septuagenarian, socialist as her opponent.

Republicans in New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana got behind the leading candidate.

Dems can't bring themselves to vote for Hillary, despite her inevitably.

 

Here's a good rant, written by Larry Correia, best selling SF writer, bone deep Republican, Mormon, former gun store owner. He's a no shit conservative. Copped from his Facebook feed.


"Well, we're boned. It's going to be huckster fraud democrat against lying criminal democrat.

Half the GOP hates the jackass. Question now is what percentage of us stay home or make a 3rd party protest vote. All those crossover democrats who voted for that orange half wit in the primaries will go back to voting democrat in the general election. He thinks young Bernie voters are going to vote for him? Fool.

I've voted republican in every election of my adult life. I've volunteered and donated money. I can't in good conscience vote for this vile populist demagogue. If even a few percentage points of the GOP feels the same way, that's it. He's toast in the general.

So he energizes the democrats, so they'll feel like they are fighting tyranny (now comes the great part where all the fawning media coverage turns on him) and he demotivates the republican base.

All the kid glove BS from this season is over. Every vile nasty stupid thing he has ever done will be covered 24/7. By November he will be the most laughed at and despised candidate in history. Because he makes it too easy.

So the classless boor probably loses to the sea hag. Not that it matters too much, since they'd both govern as authoritarian democrats, only one has more nationalist rah rah thrown in.

Spare me the nonsense about lesser evils and SCOTUS judges. He won't make it that far. And by some miracle, like Hillary has a stroke, this rambling ignoramus wins, he would still screw that up somehow in his one term. Big question is does he suck enough to take the GOP with him?

And if you think he is going to actually build a wall, you are a sucker.

Did I love Cruz? No. Because I was hiring an employee, not a god. He was the least likely to rape the Constitution. Instead we get an authoritarian, who is either lying, or made it to 70 before understanding basic American principles about liberty.

You ignorant low information bastards. Motivated by fear and anger, you overlooked every gain made over the last few cycles, and traded it in to a lying huckster democrat for some magic beans. So you could stick it to the establishment, by electing the shit bird who funded them.

Edit to add, don't bother posting to argue. We are past that. Now we batten down the hatches and get ready for the suck. If you want to gloat, you are an idiot who doesn't realize what you have wrought. If you feel disrespected, good. You should."

 

Shouldn't posters be forced to give credit for a joke to the person who came up with it?

 

She's wrapped it up, too. But point taken. And I've called Trump "inevitable" since before Iowa, so I guess you won't get an argument from me.

You really hate her. It's hilarious. It's like listening to Mrs. Whitman talking about Republicans. I had to intervene about three times last night in front of the children.
