    the best that majority of the GOP can come up with were 4 ****ty candidates

    And David Duke/Putin surrogate convincingly beat the other 3

    Honestly the Democrats didn't do much better with Hillary and Bernie. It's just the bar continuing to go lower in national elections. Trump DOES embarrass conservatives and Hillary SHOULD embarrass liberals but doesn't for whatever reason.

    Find me Trump supporters, not people who voted for the lesser of two evils. That is all I ask.

    You will find 100 Obama or 100 Bernie supporters to every Trump supporter.

    What is the point? OK, the two-party system is failing. And the Republicans have failed much harder than the Democrats. No, I will not take a principled stand by voting for someone who will not win the election. I am voting for the person most likely to defeat Republican Travesty Donald Trump.

    Freakin Republicans still took themselves seriously with Sarah Palin. The party has been rotten for a good while. I hate to think what kind of decisions they make on a daily basis in Congress.

    And you have people who will vote for the person most likely to defeat Democrat travesty Hillary Clinton. I mean, not me, but there are some.

    When the 2 main options are just absolute garbage, there's not a right choice.

    It's distressing where our democracy is going. And this election is not serving as a wake up call.

    The hope is that this election will be the US hitting rock bottom and we can start to get better after it's over. I dunno.

    I don't even know what to say. Trump is Cliff Clavin.

    So Trump gave a speech and read directly off the teleprompter, so how does that make him different than any other politician?

    So basically he"s talking about all the things that Paul Ryan wants to do and not running on his policies....

    Looks like Ryan won...

    Hey Trump supporters, you better get off your ass and actually work to get Trump elected or he'll never forgive you. Stop wasting time on a Texas basketball forum and start posting in swing state basketball forums!

    LOL... Trump just gave a major speech on how he will address terrorism... is there any point in tearing part what he said?

    Nope, the assumption should be that anything he says is r****ded on a basic level.

    Dobias did say this:

    "“Good hitter, good fielder, good attitude,” Dobias said. In particular, Dobias was impressed with Trump’s sense of the game. He recalled a situation in the championship game in which there was a runner on third and no outs; Trump told his coach that he thought a squeeze play was coming. Sure enough, the batter tried to bunt, and “Donald charged in and tagged him out,” Dobias said.

    A baseball coach from West Point came to the school multiple times to try to talk Trump into playing there, Dobias said.

    “He was a good athlete,” Dobias said. “I’d give him an 8 1/2 out of 10.”"
