I have the cutest dog in America, and by good gosh, Trump will recognize it or his data plan will eat every single one of the dicks.

I think I'd prefer trump. In the past at least he's been more ideologically similar to a blue dog democrat then the tea party. I also doubt he'd be particularly effective in using the office to pursue his agenda anyways.

Monkey Fracas posted:Huh, bit of a turnaround there from the "weelllll maybe they're selling baby parts for big $$$ guys we need an investigation" from a few days ago. To be fair, Hillary did initially come out strongly in support of Planned Parenthood when the story originally broke, even before Bernie did. She then later dialed her comments back a bit last week (which I think was a stupid move), but in any case, it's good to see her going back to her original stronger position on the issue.

I am really ashamed to admit that Trump has been growing on me. Like everyone else I started out assuming he was a joke candidate in it for self-promotion, but in his time being an unapologetic rear end in a top hat he's managed to convince me: - That he is immune to moneyed interests. The man's a billionare, the only one that can bribe him is a trillionare. - That he is not afraid to be himself (i.e. a raging rear end in a top hat). I tend to assume that all politicians are assholes, but the Bush's and Clinton's of the world are expertly trained by a group of handlers to hide it. - He's not afraid to be rich. Remeber Mitt Romney had a car elevator in his vacation home? John McCain couldn't remember how many houses he earned. John Kerry's wife literally owned ketchup. They all spent their entire campaigns trying to convince voters they were one of us. Trump makes no effort to look like one of the plebs and owns his fortune... all $10 billion dollars of it (or 2.6 billion depending who you ask) - No one knows exactly what a Trump administration would look like, so that leaves a kind of blank slate quality that Obama had. We know he loves veterans and hates immigrants, but his ideas are so off the wall that if he were president, what he actually gets accomplished could be all over the map. I know that someone like him could never accomplish anything in Washington and couldn't bring myself to vote for him in a general or primary, but the electorate has been being force fed vanilla focus-group tested candidates for so long, that Trump coming out and saying some of the lovely things that the republican base believes is such a breath of fresh air, regardless of how reprehensible it may be. I think it's why he is drawing support from all candidates, not just the far far right crazies. And not to mention, 4 (or 8!) years of pure comedy gold if he wins.

Nobody with money is immune to monied interests. The interesting thing is how _goddamn cheap_ it is to buy a multi-millionaire congressmen who can look forward to a lifelong pension and even more remunerative position in retirement (but will still gently caress it up and go to prison for small-time money). Seriously, look at the bribes these people go down for when they go down, it isn't millions, it isn't hundreds of thousands, it is fives of thousands. Hell, a congressmen pushing your legislation or arranging for your no-bid contract is within reach of the average family budget, if you're willing to skip a few meals out a month. The only person I would be convinced is immune to out-and-out bribery is somebody who manages to stay poor in public life.

I've reread Clinton's comments again and while at first I thought they were bad I'm not sure what to make of them any more. Someone pointed out that the "process" alluded to in the bold part could be referring to the sort of Republican/right wing media witch hunt like the one that brought down ACORN. If not that I have no idea what that sentence means. quote:I have seen pictures from them and I obviously find them disturbing. Planned Parenthood is answering questions and will continue to answer questions. I think there are two points to make. One, Planned Parenthood for more than a century has done a lot of really good work for women: cancer screenings, family planning, all kinds of health services. And this raises not questions about Planned Parenthood so much as it raises questions about, you know, the whole process, that is, not just involving Planned Parenthood, but many institutions in our country. And if there’s going to be any kind of congressional inquiry, it should look at everything and not just one part of it.

Moreover, I think he wouldn't be nearly the crazy Nativist character he's been playing at all these rallies. His past views on various issues seems to indicate he's either completely changed his worldview in the past decade, or he's just acutely aware of how badly the GOP base wanted someone to "say what we're all thinking" etc Not trying to downplay how much of a raging narcissist Trump is, but I think he just knows how to cater to a crazy, racist audience and knows that's his surest path to HappyHippo posted:I've reread Clinton's comments again and while at first I thought they were bad I'm not sure what to make of them any more.

No argument here, I'm just trying to outline a few reasons for his support. I can't imagine that the 25% of GOP voters who chose him are ALL super-crazy far right wing. SA tends to forget that some 40% of American's are self-identified republicans, and even the most liberal parts of this country are far to the right of this thread.

Just signed up at Trump's campaign site with e-mail and physical mail address for electronic and physical campaign updates and materials. Gonna spread the Gospel of Trump here in the Great State of South Carolina, one of the early and most important primaries. Also told them take a public stand on Citizens United, and also try to go after labor votes. Trump is pro-union, and he's been railing against outsourcing of jobs and insourcing of cheap foreign labor, might as well try to rip away white blue-collar voters from the Democrats. Trumpmentum is real. Get on the train while you can boys and girls. CHOO-CHOO!!!
