2016 Presidential Horse Race

[Bishop2b5]

Trump will take off his shirt and challenger her to feats of strength next to the Festivus Pole he brings to the first debate. Could you imagine the ratings! Hyuge! Big League!

Will Hillary be taking her shirt off too? I could go for that. I wanna get a peek at what's kept Bill so deeply in love all these years and coming back for more.

Basically, I don't think this is a case where HRC wins, I think it is more a case that DJT loses.

Agree?

Agree. Republicans have to find a way to pick better candidates to run for president. Hillary is a very beatable candidate whom just about everyone believed was going to win ... and the GOP picked Trump. It's like they want to lose.

Agree.

But...

It's a case of America losing regardless of who wins.

He definitely has the moral high ground now....

Gaitan is headed back to Washington, D.C., to work for the LIBRE Initiative, a conservative Hispanic group backed by the industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch. Neither LIBRE nor the Kochs have backed Trump.

 

[irish1958]

but wouldn't attacking them be bullying...but then again enforcing PC is basically bullying anyways, in their minds bullying the bullies, but still bullying...yes/no?

The only thing necessary for a tyrant to arise is for those of good conscience to be silent. I clearly wasn't referring to trump (sic) as I left out the term "misogynous" in my description.
I would also point out that opposing a bully (Bully | Definition of Bully by Merriam-Webster) is never bullying. For example if I came upon a person mocking a neurologically handicapped New York Times reporter in a large crowd and I spoke up, most reasonable people would not accuse me of bullying the mocking speaker, even though some might accuse me of being politically correct to an excess.
Such is the cross I must bear.

I finally found something in Trump to like. His economic plan includes a tax credit for childcare. I don't believe he's sincere, but at least he made an effort. His plan is a feeble attempt to attract women voters. Working women are too smart to believe any of that will ever happen. And that idea would have a 0% chance of making it through a GOP dominated House of Representatives.

The rest of Trump's plan is the same **** that we've been hearing from the Republicans since Reagan. Give more money to the wealthy and some of it will trickle down to the middle class and the poor. The only problem is that it never trickles down. Every middle class or poor voter has heard that same plan before, and they know it means they will be left out once again while the wealthiest get even wealthier. If you believe Trump's plan is good for you, he's got a casino available for sale in Atlantic City.

That's a bullshit pander. Parents shouldn't be subsidized for abandoning their children. Women should be encouraged to raise children, not to outsource the next generation to the communal cesspools known as daycare. Utter bullshit to propose a de facto tax on stay-at-home parents.

Also, lowering tax rates is not "giving" money to anybody. It's not the government's money to give. It belongs to the people and there's nothing illegitimate in "allowing" people to keep what they rightfully earned in the first place.

The estate tax is evil and I'm disappointed that you disagree.

Women?

 

[wizards8507]

Women?

One parent per household. Historically, that has been women. By their nature, women are superior child-rearers, not least of all due to the simple anatomy of how breast feeding works.

Didn't the Republicans raise the child tax credit under bush, then stop Obama from lowering it?

huh?

Mr. Obama also wants to triple the child care tax credit, now an average of $550, and make it easier for middle-income earners to qualify, offering up to $3,000 for each child under age 5.

You guys are talking about two different things. The Child Tax Credit is for just having kids. The Child and Dependent Care Credit is for costs associated with sending kids to daycare.

Pkt is correct. Both Obama and Trump want to expand the latter.

I believe in evolution and it needs to get taught. I believe in science, not mythology- you are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.

Men and women are perfectly equal with regard to raising children. Religious people may think that women were created to be mothers, but science tells us clearly that millions of years of evolution prepared men and women for fulfilling desk jobs in office buildings. Himan females are biologically identical to men in every meaningful way, and none of the very few distinctions have any connection with their culturally/religiously-imposed roles as primary caretakers. As stated above, we all have nipples.

Why would natural selection have paired up men and women to have complimentary roles in raising offspring? It doesn't even make sense. What advantage could their be to one body being designed to rear children, and another to do things like defend the group or hunt? What a jumbled mythological mess!

So if you believe in science, you have to believe that 20th century feminism is a perfect reflection of nature. It's not that complicated and perfectly consistent.

Also, men and women are equally as good at everything. Religious people think that women were created to be mothers, but science tells us that after millions of years of evolution human females are nearly identical to men and none of the very few distinctions have any connection with their culturally/religiously-imposed roles as primary caretakers.
