Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Hillary Clinton, the serious liar America needs.

 

Admittedly, Trump is a much more gifted liar.

 

Circumstances cause Presidents to change their minds and repudiate past positions. When running, Lincoln said he had no intention of freeing the slaves and he meant it if it would preserve the Union. FDR promised a balanced budget and reduced spending in 1932 because that was conventional wisdom in both parties, then was forced into drastic actions by the day he was inaugurated. Does that make them liars?
I'm sure Bush believed every word about WMDs in Iraq. He was wrong, dead wrong, but that's not dishonesty, it's being wrong.
Republicans have been accusing Hillary of crimes for a quarter-century. The Sanders people call her dishonest because Clinton is an exemplar of an entire system they consider dishonest. If Joe Biden were younger and had run, the Sanders people would accuse him of the same thing.

 

I'd be more than willing to stand in for three pitches against Clayton Kershaw.

It doesn't make me Mike fucking Trout.

 

"Circumstances." LOL.

Yeah, like the circumstances of the prevailing winds.

 

Again, not a defense of Trump.

He gets exposed when he tries to discuss these issues.

Would still like to see Hillary have a similar discussion with an adversarial questioner.

 

I'm sure we'd all quickly find out that she is similarly uninformed as her likely November adversary.

 

Look, I give Trump credit for taking questions, too, and putting himself out there. But at some point, he shouldn't get a free pass on that anymore. The answers themselves matter. I'm not as concerned about the isolated so-called "gaffes" as I am a very clear, long-term pattern of indications that he has little understanding of issues.

 

Oh, I'm sure she's more informed on the issue.

I also think her having to defend her position would be newsworthy and would turn off a percentage of voters.

But, she knows this, and so do the reporters who play patty cake with her, so we won't see it.

 

You would still vote for Trump over her?

 

Either Hillary is for abortion with no restrictions at all, or she is for some restrictions.

Either turns off voters.

Either position needs to be defended. Even Baron says he's against abortion after the clump of cells reaches viability. Where does Hillary stand, and how does she reach her position?

 

Duh.

I know what I'm getting with Hillary.

Trump is an unknown, but I'll take my chances with him.
