Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

That is a cute analogy but many of us that are voting for Hillary actually believe she is extremely qualified and will do a good job. I don't believe for a second that yank or the others here actually think Trump is qualified. They are blinded by their hatred for Clinton and might be willing to vote for the racist pig in order to keep her out of office.
How about this analogy...I need brain surgery, behind one door is a whack job that knows nothing about brain surgery. Behind the other is a whack job named Ben Carson. As much as I dislike this boob I will gladly let him operate on me because he is qualified.

 

Wouldn't you think so too?

 

He always was effective with De'Angelo Colbert as his sidekick.

 

I reject your premise because Door No. 1 does not represent either candidate. You could make a decent argument that Door No. 2 represents Trump, but if I need the surgery to live I'm shit out of luck with that option.

That raises the other issue in your analogy, which doesn't quite reach the depths of one created by Baron, but it is well below your capabilities. You don't offer enough information in your scenario. Do I need surgery? If so, do I need surgery immediately, or can I wait and try another day with a competent surgical team? If I need surgery to survive, I'm getting the fuck out of that hospital 'cause either option leaves me dead.

Now if you want to come at this from a more serious angle, I do see what point you are trying to make. It just doesn't hold up in this case. Because here's the thing. Even if Trump does decide to play it hands off, we've still got four years of a completely unqualified person who has the power to do some massive damage to this country.

I don't agree with Badger, but I do believe that Clinton can be at least competent, if not trustworthy. Trump is neither.

 

Trump is actually doing something previous republicans were afraid to do. Actually have a conversation with black voters and ask for their vote. It's resonating with younger black voters

 

A question that applies to pretty much every member of this board, including you. Care to answer it?

 

Sure. I'm at work. I DO NOT have anything better to do.

 

I capitalized 'it' because your use of 'they' is wrong.

 

3% is resonating?

 

He always says silly things like that. It's a verbal tic. I'm not outraged.

 

The politics of fear. Meant to get votes from people who have a better chance of being hit by lightning 20 times than ever being a victim of terrorism.

You know who isn't freaking out over the NYC/NJ bombings? Those of us who live here.

Maybe voters should follow that lead rather than a carnival barker who says "tough" things with no actual plan.

I'd also like to hear Trump say to the NYPD and FBI that they're not "tough enough."

Bufoon is far too kind a term for Trump.
