2016 Presidential Horse Race

Maybe Nicco's dad could set up a MMA fight between them. lol



Donald Trump says he would like to 'hit' DNC speakers who disparaged him - CNNPolitics.com

Seriously though... If you're running for president, you probably shouldn't say that you want to fight a group of people that include politicians.

Didn't see it so don't know his tone but he's often used "hit" in the past when referring to a verbal attack.

Could be anything with him though.

I can't seem to be able to copy the picture, but Hillary's tongue is trending on twitter. There appears to be a hole in the center. I am not a fan of hers, but that is scary because I lost my Grandmother to oral cancer. Hope whatever it is has been cleared up.

Will definitely be checking in to celebrate four more years of D's in charge in a few months plus them taking back the senate and probably the house.

With Garland and replacements for Thomas and Ginsburg too, will be a liberal court for decades.

Hill dog is Steve Rannazzisi... That is all.

Kind of an ironic comment in combination with your username since ole warhawk Hillary shares lots of the blame for the current bloodbath in Syria.

Is there some 9/11 joke I missed?

Florsheim has been shit for at least a decade. Their shoes are contract made in India and are an insult to a legendary brand. The standards for fine American made shoes are Allen Edmonds and Alden of New England.

My Dan Post boots (deerskin) were hecho en Mexico.

Been wearin Edmonds since mid 90s...best...shoe...ever...imho.

She is exactly who she has been...if that was good enough...why the re-brand...shrug.

 

[NDBoiler]

What are these principles you speak of? Those that Donald Trump will carry forward as the leader of the party? When he was nominated, the GOP lost the credibility to stake out anything that hints at the moral high ground.

I can't speak for anyone's principles but my own. I was just pointing out that you seemed to be justifying the ignoring of existing laws. Couldn't give 2 shits about Trump.

Ignoring existing laws? Which ones am I justifying exactly? Because I thought I was pointing out that Latinos don't seem to like republican ideas, and that maybe the party ought to give that some thought.

People under 25 don't give a damn about Monica Lewinski.

God forbid the Clintons might actually be an real married couple and throw off the narrative of a convenient political union.

Come on GI41. Everyone knows your leanings, but now you just showed a blind devotion, the same as many Trump followers. The Clinton's are a married couple in paper only. Given the careers of both Bill & Hillary, I question how much parenting they actually did. Pretty sure they passed Chelsea off to a village (private school) to raise.

 

[IrishInFl]

Woohoo! We've got the initial electoral-vote.com map. I've been going to this site since 2004, and it's never been wrong on who wins the election, although it will miss a state here and there. Current tally, with pretty bad polling so far, Is Clinton up 284 to Trumps 207 with them being tied for 47 electoral votes.

Confirmed: Two of the worst acceptance speeches I have ever heard from two of the worst candidates in history.

Not only did Bill fall asleep, but Tim Kaine noticed he fell asleep and tried to block the cameras with his head.

Yeah, blind devotion to Hillary drove me to vote for Bernie in the primary. Until Nov. 8, I will have never voted for a Clinton in my life. That doesn't mean I believe every made up story the GOP tells about them. I think it is funny that so many people seem to question a marriage that both husband and wife seem to be happy in as if they know the truth better than the couple! And if that isn't bad enough, you are questioning their parenting when their daughter just gave a 30 minute speech last night about how wonderful a mother Hillary has been. What evidence do you have to the contrary besides your willingness to believe every negative thing you can conceive about the Clintons? There are plenty of things to dislike about Hillary. Her parenting skills do not appear to be among them -- at least according to the one person who would really know.

None of this has much to do with the pending election any more than my perception of Trump's string of ever younger, mail order, Eastern European brides or his weird infatuation with his daughter. That's why I don't spend my time trying to convince people of how much he creeps out his family and focus on what he says and does instead of pretending to know about his personal relationships. But if you must discuss family, maybe your understanding of Clinton family dynamics should be informed by someone outside the republican bubble ... perhaps by listening to them when they discuss their feelings toward one another. The blind hatred for all things Clinton and the willingness to believe every dumb attack framed by their political opponents makes you guys look silly and shallow.

pretty much!

 

[BleedBlueGold]

pretty much!

The hypocrisy throughout her speech was vomit-inducing. I mean seriously, does she think people don't actually know about her background and record? Talking about big money, bad trade deals, etc?! LMAO.

Not to mention her sections on her foreign policy record and the Great Recession.

Another theme that pissed me off throughout the entire DNC: She is advocating for 3rd term Obama based on his record and accomplishments and then frequently flips the script 15 minutes later and talks about how the system isn't working for average Americans. You can't have it both ways.

"And if we're serious about keeping our country safe, we cannot afford to have a President who is in the pocket of the gun lobby." -HRC

Oh what's this?

One of Clinton's recent fundraisers was hosted by Jeff Forbes? A guy who worked as a NRA lobbyist for the past six years?

Yeah. Hypocrite city baby!! A true diaper dandy.

This is the kind of misinformation that is constantly thrown at the Clintons. Not many couples could have survived the marital scrutiny the Clintons underwent in the 1990's. They decided to stay married despite Bill's widely publicized infidelity. The nature of their personal relationship is none of our business. And there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that they were not loving parents to Chelsea.

If you differ with the Clinton's on policy, let's hear some specifics and we can debate whether or not their policies are good or bad for the country. We can judge their parenting skills by how well their daughter presents herself. From here, it looks as though Chelsea is doing just fine. As a parent, I have learned that you can only point the way. Your children will choose their own direction. The parental guidance of Bill and Hillary has enabled Chelsea to make some excellent decisions.

It's a sad commentary on our current situation that I really miss John Kasich.

Not to mention the guidance they give to their hedge fund son-in-law.

YES WE CAN YES WE CAN

Pretty awful speech IMO. Lots of contradictory claims/promises. I think the strategy was to give every listener something they resonated with them personally and hope like hell they forgot the contradictory points and obvious departures from the actual record.
