Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

But that doesn't fully explain how she mananger to lose Florida, where a huge surge in turnout occurred.

The post mortems on this one will be fascinating if we are around to have them

 

I've got to say I voted against Trump. And that's a sad statement.

 

Good luck with this, man. Seriously. I don't have kids but I can't imagine this uncertainty, plus seeing them struggling and feeling powerless to help.

 

I voted against both of them and against Johnson with my McMullin vote.

 

This rhetoric is part of the problem. The left screams "racist" and worse at anyone who disagrees with them, including fundamentally good, decent people like GWB and Romney, and then when someone comes along who actually earns the charges, they're out of vocabulary and have cried wolf so often no one listens anymore.
Pence is a politician well within the range of responsible positions. He would have won the election last night in a landslide, as many, many politicians would have.

 

I could have reached some level of content with quite a few of the Republican candidates and their positions. Then again, this was never about party for me.

 

I had a big speech planned for today about the Duverger's law and how if you believe the two parties we have are a problem, voting for anyone else is the worst thing you can do but the day after a national election is where the real work begins.

But fuck it America is fundamentally broken and there is no way to fix it. It was founded as a blowjob to New England merchants and that is all it will ever be

 

I find Pence's positions distasteful, but if he were taking the controls from the start I wouldn't expect America to collapse. Whether he could pull it out of a post-Trump tailspin, hell whether anyone could, I don't know.

 

I don't dispute that he would have won. I think any decent candidate from either side could have taken this election. The country as a whole didn't much like either candidate, Trump's results notwithstanding.

Pence's all in hatred for gays really thumbs my buttons.

 

dixiehack's therapist and pharmacist are going to make a killing in the next few years.

 

You shouldn't.

Embryonic stem cells, i.e. the potential for sentient life, are deemed to be more important than the lives of those who could benefit from their use in research and, one hopes, treatment. The "life" that begins at conception has greater priority than the life that has been fully realized into a conscious being.

I'm sure the culture of life will carry over when those with preexisting conditions are still covered once Obamacare is repealed and replaced (with something terrific).
