    Hillary was so broken up by her best friend's suicide, that the first thing she did was order his office to be emptied out, and to hide all important documents.

    Trump's big proposal regarding Muslims is to temporarily halt immigration until we can vet them better.

    What rights do you think are at risk for Muslim citizens?

    And yet, I always am able to explain away what Democrats do, as you put it. If they're wrong, then I shouldn't be able to explain it away, right?

    What is ridiculous about the stance I took? I didn't bring up Cheney and his daughter. But once they were brought up, it's fair to point out that it was a legitimate question to ask him about how he could reconcile his daughter's happiness with his own party's stance. Millions of parents of LGBT kids would have been interested in his answer.

    The reason why Republicans were so pissed off at Kerry for bringing the subject up wasn't that it involved the VP's kid, although they used that as their main talking point. It's because he put Cheney between the proverbial rock and hard place between his daughter and his party and would have forced him into making a very uncomfortable answer if he had been pressed for an answer.

    One of the finalists to be his running mate called for religious tests and deportment of American citizens. Did Trump ever disavow that?

    The Clinton Body Count conspiracy theory ranks up with there with birtherism in terms of showing how stupid the believer is.

    Not only Muslims, he plans to halt immigration and travel by everybody regardless of religion from nations where there are operating terrorist groups - if Pence is to be believed.

    Certainly "Due Process " is a risk for Muslim Citizens. See Awlaki, Anwar al-
    as example.

    Agreed. Except I'm not even convinced she'd have carried the South against Biden. I think he (and others) would've likely beaten her if they'd have run. Hell, a 74-year-old avowed and unrepentant Socialist who almost nobody had previously heard of came out of nowhere to give her a run for her money. And four years before an unknown black guy with a muslim name came out of nowhere to beat her after she'd begun as the huge favorite.

    The American public has real issues with Hillary Clinton, they look for reasons not to vote for her. She's just very lucky that no Dems with real political weight chose to run against her this time. Yet she's gonna win the presidency by a ridiculous landslide because of Trump being Trump.

    Obama and Hillary split delegates between states which is partially why it came down to June to finally have an outright winner. And yes, that is the simple version of it. In a Biden vs Hillary race, he wins in the north: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan etc with the exception of New York. Hillary wins in the south. Then they have close votes elsewhere with Biden coming out as the winner. Hillary would earn a fair number of African-American votes because of the Clinton legacy but Biden probably gets his share because he was VP to Obama. And just being VP to a popular Democrat gives him a boost.

    Every bad thing linked to a Democrat can be explained away as an unfortunate coincidence.

    He also wanted (wants? He changes his mind daily.) to deny Muslim citizens from re-entering the country if they leave for any reason. And just this week he approved the idea of trials at Gitmo for American citizens, which would basically amount to a Muslim pogram.

    I am sure that in your head you believe your explanations are rational.

    Alright. I can see a threadjack coming here that will rival your citizenship idiocy. But really -- just for kicks, you should one time, in your head, argue something in a way that doesn't automatically put the Democrat candidate or side in the best possible light. It's a broadening exercise.
