LOL. Trump's main advisor Michael Cohen is on Hannity and just slammed Lindsay Graham over his cell-phone burning stunt, noting that "it's not good for the environment."

I imagine waking up Friday in a new era, my dopamine levels depleted after ODing on the political entertainment of the debates followed by the final episode of The Daily Show, but my expectations for each are probably too high.

So he supports the volcker rule, hates the citizens united ruling, is at-odds with kochsuckers, has an advisor cracking eco-friendly jokes, and has the majority of republican voters' favor? All jokes aside, it sounds like Donald Trump is genuinely the best republican candidate available. That's simultaneously sad, funny, and optimistic. may his yoojness reign eternally within the Trump House

Of all the less than knowledgeable posts you've written on the last couple of pages, this is probably the least informed. Trump is as far right as anyone on that stage. More than most definitely.

He is. The media propagandists have been falsely trying to paint him as an extreme right winger. He's a center-right moderate. It's a reflection of how hosed up the left is in this country, that completely SANE, pro-labor, pro-working class ideas like "don't flood the saturated labor market with cheap foreign labor" and "don't eviscerate skilled labor with outsourcing and bad trade deals" and "actually address the chaos on the southern border in an effective way" and "build a wall in sections of the border where it is needed, according to border patrol and local political leadership" are used to paint him as far-right. But don't worry, these idiot losers with communications degrees can't stop us from Making America Great Again, my friend. The only actual unreasonable position he has taken is his assurance that he will make the Mexican government pay to fortify the border. But then again he has been on an incredible roll when it comes to convincing people to come around to his position and convincing people who swore they'd never even consider voting for him to actually supporting him over everyone else. This guy is a loving closer. If we live in a world where President Donald Trump is possible, maybe that crazy promise could come true too.

Rome has a pretty hands-off approach when it comes to disagreements with the anti-abortion, pro-female-slavery rabble sector of our politics. Republicans get a whole lot of leeway on minor issues like the death penalty, poverty, science, and whether or not the Pope is to be obeyed.

Miltank posted:The Iraq war was the personal policy objective of Bush's administration. There is no way that Gore would have invaded and it is extremely unlikely that some other GOP administration would have invaded. Seriously if you think that Gore might have invaded Iraq you're out of your mind. Iraq was the white whale of Bush and the PNAC assholes he installed in the DoD. One could even argue they let 9/11 happen due to their hyperfocus on Iraq to the point of ignoring other intelligence.

He's not a fan of CU because if it didn't exist he'd quite literally be able to buy himself the election whereas now he has to contend with super PACs that let billionaires bankroll a puppet of their choice. It's good he hates the CU ruling but you're naive if you think he hates it for any reason other than "those richer assholes can still overcome my money."

Little_wh0re posted:Your vote is the only way to communicate to the party. If there are a pile of votes further left then it starts looking attractive to move left to pick them up. Is pretty simple If this were true then bush 1 wouldn't have been followed by Bill and Bush 2 wouldn't have been followed by Obama. All heretofore existing history shows that the Democrats aren't gonna dive for the on average 500k~700k votes for leftish parties when they already command nearly 60 million votes in their last losing presidential election. Unless your third party buddies are going to actually get a good 10 million plus of you to agree on a single party, you're gnats.

Alsoquote:Obviously, that is good news for Trump, but the polling data also contain some less encouraging signs for him. According to the latest survey from Quinnipiac University’s polling unit, which came out late last week, fifty per cent of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Trump, and thirty-three per cent have a negative opinion. If you subtract the latter figure from the former one, you get get a “net positive” rating of seventeen per cent. Far from placing Trump at the front of the G.O.P. field, this figure suggests that he is in thirteenth place, sandwiched between John Kasich and Chris Christie. http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/how-durable-is-donald-trumps-surge

The X-man cometh posted:One man is not a third parry. Also there's a pretty decent argument that Perot didn't actually cost Bush or Dole the election. He seems to have mainly energized voters who would have otherwise stayed home, while mostly drawing equitably from both Clinton and Bush/Dole pools of voters. Mostly he just went on national TV to ask if he could finish and then denied Clinton a majority instead of a plurality. No real realignment of either party came about, and nothing really came of it. Maybe Clinton got a state or two he otherwise wouldn't have gotten, but he was a Southern Gent in a time before the full realignment of the South from Conservative Democrats to Republicans. He still probably would have won but with a slightly smaller EC margin.
