President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is nuts.

The line, "When they go low, we go high" ASSUMES that they are going to go low and that "we will be above it."

Just say, "Yes, the line was utter bullshit" and we all can agree.

 

I may be viewing this wrong, but is that a guy holding up the "Women for Trump" sign?

 

It's the woman in yellow holding the sign. Face is obscured for the first half of the clip.

 

The flaw in your point is that the GOP already had gone low. Numerous times over the previous 20 plus years. There is no need to assume.

 

Then we won't call it an "assumption." The line is presumed to work in any tense.

"When they (have, had, will, are) go low, we go high."

All possibilities are there. It's a bullshit line.

 

Trump’s nomination and victory proves the line isn’t utter bullshit. He is the human embodiment of going low.

Or maybe you meant that refusing to go cost Hillary the election and that heeding the line was utter bullshit. I could get behind that idea.

 

Jon Huntsman, anyone?

I miss this man.

 

You're going to have to focus on the granular, which is what exactly is the action that's at issue? Stealing something, even with the good intent, is still stealing and would be a crime. To use the cliche, the ends (protecting your country) do not typically justify the means. However, many a jury has sympathized with the actor under the cliche (which is another reason why our jury system is great.)

 

Repeating my prediction from months back...Trump will (attempt to?) pull Obama's Secret Service protection at some point in the near future.

 

As much as I despise Mr. Kavanaugh's expressed views, and the fact that the GOP Senators flat out breached their constitutional duty to hold hearings on Merrick Garland, I'm resigned to his appointment to the Supreme Court. The rules are what they are due to the Harry Reid led short-sighted removal of the filibuster rules; the Dem Sens need to eat crow now. Kavanaugh is eminently qualified and therefore deserves his appointment. I am disgusted that like prior legislation this is being rammed down our throats without adequate disclosure however.

 

This is helpful, thank you. I was thinking of the stealing the letter off the desk scenario (which is incredible, when you think about it). This is the kind of thing I could nerd out on for a long time.
