Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Great. Trump can run for mayor of New York City.

 

Let's look at Hillary Clinton's same day clarification of her RFK remarks.

She doesn't apologize. She defends them, offering only "regret" IF the Kennedys found them offensive.

She sure as hell doesn't apologize to Senator Obama.

 

Then what Trump said was OK.

Why is "They do it too" an acceptable defense in politics but it doesn't work as well in the real world?

 

It's funny. Left-wing Twitter was pushing back against any criticism of the Orlando killer's dad attending a Clinton rally, and scoring a prime seat, in the camera shot.

"The father isn't responsible for the sins of the son." Etc.

Will they now express disappointment in Hillary as the campaign had a now disavowed his support?

 

Who's using it as a defense of Trump?

It was a dumb thing to say.

Why can't you admit that Hillary is an awful person, willing to say or do anything to win the White House?

 

Paging @RickStain

 

I have no idea if she is an "awful person" or not. I don't know if Donald Trump is an awful person, either. What's more, I don't care. He's unqualified and unfit for the presidency.

 

Your concern for the president is noble.

 

My point is that coming from the business world isn't and shouldn't be an automatic disqualifier, but I would definitely consider not having any public service/policy experience to be a major problem to be overcome. Experience in both worlds could be seen as an advantage if you're accomplished in both and not, for example, Mitt Romney.

 

That's the crutch of sports talk radio listeners. Say something critical about their team and they respond with "Yeah, what about your favorite team? Huh? Huh!?!"

 

Two roads diverged in the woods, and I, the traveler, reluctantly chose the middle road (for the high was not available)
As opposed to some friends, who felt party bound to follow a psychopath through the sewers, where he ate rats and advocated anarchy
And that has made all the difference.

 

Do you really want to start a war based on which candidate's Twitter followers are bigger morons?
