    You forgot the time he spends fucking Ivanka every day.

    The answer is, it's not like Fuckface McPigdick has any "work" to do anyway.

    I agree that "true conservative" time is over, but I happen to think it's over for good. Sooner or later, "true conservatives" need to come to terms with the fact that they represent a minority within the disparate coalition of malcontent groups they have helped cobble together to call a Republican party. Over a period of a couple decades, people who call themselves conservatives cultivated what's happened this election season by living in their surreal Rush Limbaugh echo chamber where existed an alternate reality. What you see isn't an aberration. Trump's candidacy is more representative of this collection of malcontent groups than is Kristol or Scott Walker or Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney.

    Ok, except that you're being naive or dishonest if you think that malcontents are all on one side.

    @Starman is a devotee of Hubert Humphrey's "politics of joy" ...

    Of course not, but the liberal malcontents aren't as angry or dangerous as the ones the GOP has attracted, and centrists, who still represent a widely agreed upon set of core policy positions, have a strong hold on the party. Our malcontents will have to come to terms with the fact that we're not getting single payer anytime soon, we're going to continue funding the military, they're not going to Harvard for free and we're not going to blow up Wall St.

    Bernie's campaign has made that abundantly clear. But that side isn't actively looking to burn down the village to save it.

    Of course. It certainly ain't like Hitlerry is some golden goddess who is gonna deliver us into a new age of glory. In many and probably most ways she is simply another run of the mill machine politician, little different than Jeb or Mitt would have been.

    But she's not a racist sexist fascist shit-flinging babbling baboon who'd be 50-50 to kill us all by bungling into nuclear war or would fuck up the world economy beyond repair within a year of taking office.

    Hilary's time was probably 2004 or 2008, but she fucked it up and now she is what she is. The GOP should thank Gun Toting Jeebus the Dems aren't running a well qualified, really exciting, white bread white male candidate in his 40s or 50s -- he'd nuke The Pig off the face of the earth by an 80-20 margin.

    No more doddering grandmas and grandpas. Never trust anybody over 65. (Unless the other guy is a racist sexist shit-flinging babbling baboon daughterfucker.)

    If you want to run for president, get your shit together in your 40s and make your run in your 50s. If you haven't made your run by your early 60s, shuffle off to some nice elder statesman role.

    Point stands.
    If you are a Mexican or Latino who is angered to the point of violence by the racist rhetoric of Trump and his loud, stupid supporters, I'm not so sure that automatically makes you a liberal. That guy throwing the punch probably wasn't a Bernie Bro.

    The GOP crack-up is preventing the Left from looking in the mirror, and the resulting arrogance of the kind cran displays will eventually catch up to the Ds.
