    Who knows what the hell he was thinking. Your theory is as good as any I suppose. One thing for sure, his reputation as a "straight shooter" has been destroyed.

    (p.s. Thanks for the support vs. Calurker)

    But you're no Trump supporter, right?

    Not to go back to my quixotic high horse here... and you and I agree on the election overall, but:
    that poster has already said he is voting for Trump over Clinton. He has criticisms of both and seems to prefer Trump. It sounds like it's mainly about the supreme court.

    I just think it's bankrupt if we badger people (millions and millions and millions of our fellow Americans) about this vote. The warts of Donald Trump are plain to see, but I honestly don't think we can say all those millions of people are idiots, or racists, or xenophobic, etc. Yes, some Trump supporters are one or all of those. But some supporters are none of those things, even if you and I think they will be on an embarrassing side of history, voting for this candidate at this time.

    Nice avatar, BTW.

    B Bob, you're one of the few people on this board on the left I respect.

    As for the VAST majority of the folks on the left that have not just attacked Trump but gone after the other half of the country (like myself) who support him I will never forget what was said of me and folks like me.

    Never.

    I don't think you're deplorable. Just misguided in your judgment of these two candidates.

    Trump is deplorable.

    And Clinton is a criminal.

    How anyone can truly be for either of these national embarrassments is beyond me.

    There is no moral or intellectual high ground here for supporters of either candidate.

    Well said. THis is one of the biggest things I'm worried about. We're going to have live with people who disagreed with us on the election and many of those will be coworkers, friends, family and others we will have to deal wth on a daily basis. Whoever wins I hope they and their supporters show restraint in victory and whoever loses shows dignity in loss.

    My mother went psycho last night about the possibility of Hillary winning. When I told her to calm down because it won't have an effect on her life, she cussed me out, started crying, and went on and on about how Hillary is a satanist.

    She texted me an apology this morning.

    You still don't get it, do you? It's not WHO are you voting for. It's WHY you are voting for the person.

    If you stop parroting the exact lines and arguments from Russian and Chinese state-run media, maybe you wouldn't be confused for one.

    But for now, if you walk like a duck, quack like a duck, well....

    And if you want to turn America into like Russia or China, guess what? Why wait? You can move there today!

    (btw, I seem to recall no shortage of calls by REpubTARDS on these boards that libtards are not American and they should move to France)

    I've had my fun with you. Now I understand the raison d'etre of Lil'texxx and Traitor George. And the game is so much easier to play with REpubTARDS.

    This is the kind of unintelligent nonsense that makes people hate those on the left.

    I understand that there is a right wing version of this, but when you drool all over the board with this kind of BS you shouldn't be calling ANYONE else a "tard".

    A lot of people are blind to what's at stake in this election. It sounds like your mother isn't and she gets it. I completely understand where she's coming from, 100%.

    Ba-****ing-loney. Every 4 years, it's "this election is the most important in our lifetime." Blah, blah, blah.

    And you hear it from both sides, it's the same BS they use to try and get people to get out and vote. This time around you have 2 easy to hate candidates and so the best play is to hype up how horrible the other candidate is. Unfortunately when there's truly no one to vote FOR, it might not work.

    Seriously. I mean, even if that were true, and it likely isn't, that would only be like the 15th worst thing about her.
