    In the early 2008 broadcast on Mrs. Clinton, aired as she and Mr. Obama still were dueling for the Democratic nomination, Mr. Trump said that “at least one member of [Mr. Obama’s] team said Clinton would make a good vice president. Well, I know her, and she’d make a good president or a good vice president.”

    Mr. Trump in a 2008 radio commentary opposed a West Virginia move to allow hunting-education classes in schools. Taking the same position as gun-control advocates, he called it a “dangerous risk,” according to an audio copy obtained by the Journal, and said: “We hear way too many stories about school violence, so the thought of voluntarily putting guns in the classroom seems like a really bad plan.”

    As a candidate, Mr. Trump, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has taken a strong gun-rights stance. He said earlier this year that “trained teachers should be able to have guns in classrooms.” He called for elimination of some gun-free zones near schools, scaling back a pledge to abolish them.

    What Trump position hasn't completely flip flopped? He was a Democrat, now Republican. Pro choice, now pro life. Pro gun control, now pro 2nd amendment. Pro lining politicians pockets, now using it as a campaign issue. For Iraq war, now said he was against it. Not religious in the least, now born again Christian. Hell he might as well have a sex change operation and complete the transformation.

    Peoples views do evolve. The thing about Trump is how his views have pretty frequently evolve within the course of one single day. He is playing you people like he played all his customers at Trump University and other people with whom he did business.

    Trump doesn't care about any of your people who go on the internets to argue for him. You suckers are too stupid to see through him.

    I was mostly referring to Trump saying she would make a great President. Now if there is record of Clinton saying the same thing about Trump consider me owned good sir.

    Well they are the type of people who can convince themselves that Trump has more integrity than Hillary Clinton. Which is a statement in itself about politics in 2016.

    I can't think of a single person that doesn't have more integrity than Hillary Clinton.

    She has lied publicly over and over to the American people to cover her own a$$. She has proven that she would say or do anything to protect herself and her own position including risking the safety of American secrets and citizens.

    Hillary Clinton has zero integrity and the only thing you will have to refute that is Trump this and Trump that but the fact is Hillary Clinton is not worth of the position of POTUS.

    I hear the hookers in Cleveland are doing what they're referring to as the Trump Special.

    For $100, any position you want.

    I don't need a Pulitzer Prize to know that 10,000 divided 2 is NOT equal to 0.

    Let's just agree that both candidates love pandering to their base. I'm sure Trump was a man of the bible has he claims before this election :rolleyes:

    Remember before this election cycle when people felt their vote doesn't matter? Now it's not that people's votes don't matter (which it obviously did for trump), it's that the system is rigged or broken.

    Should Trump win and disastrously fail, no doubt people will still imagine a system corrupt to the core...or in similar company, gleefully relish on the destruction of Federal order and subsequent striking paralysis in the government.

    The true danger to democracy is cynicism, not anger

    [rQUOTEr]The overall result, Porter says, is a “rise in cynicism and resentment.” The resentment is natural and is likely over time to change the policy profiles of both parties. But cynicism is not always tied to resentment. William Jennings Bryan embodied an idealistic populism. Following the Watergate scandal, voters turned to the squeaky clean Jimmy Carter.

    Cynicism is more dangerous to democracy than outrage. Cynicism pretends to a kind of sophisticated, insider knowledge of institutional corruption. It says: I can see, even if you can’t, how the whole ball of wax — politics, economics, religion — is rigged in favor of capitalist economic elites, or liberal social elites, or both. “We have a crooked system,” Trump has said, “we have a rigged system.” Since no one wants to appear the fool, cynicism is infectious. Many Americans feel exploited but believe that politicians who offer idealistic answers are frauds.

    This perspective dramatically reduces the aspirations of politics — setting the ethical bar lower than we would for almost any other profession. Democrats know their candidate is not trusted, but at least she is a fighter who understands the vast conspiracy set against her. Republicans know their candidate is a world-class cynic, but at least he can get down in the dirt with the Clintons, lie for lie, threat for threat.

    But there are other effects as the toxic cloud of cynicism settles over American politics. No matter who wins, the other side will view the victor as illegitimate — an unindicted criminal or a loopy bigot. The winner will find that a cynical public coheres like dry sand. It will be accordingly difficult to rally the whole country around hard or dangerous national goals. And a great country will continue to be crippled by its politics.

    The worst hell of despair is believing that hope itself is a racket.[/rQUOTEr]

    Looks like VP candidacy is down to Christie, Pence, and Gingrich.
