After well over a decade of people criticizing the idea of the government going to war for oil, Trump directly endorsing the idea of using war to get oil is a pretty spectacular brand of idiocy.

I wish I were so certain of this. She should do this, and I hope she does. But Obama was too ready on compromise from the get-go, and even though he's been a pretty good president, I want Clinton to have learned from his mistakes.

That's probably where the "inexperience" flaw hit hardest, he assumed the GOP could be reasoned with like actual human beings and not lich-kings sitting on thrones of golden doubloons.

Hillary has no such illusions, however, she and the GOP loving hate each-other a whole bunch.

Yeah, but still, her husband's record in the 90's doesn't instill confidence. Obviously I understand she's not her husband, but still. I'll be reassured when I see it happen.

Just as a note, Obama actually campaigned on bipartisanship and getting along, while Clinton hasn't or at least hasn't to the extent that Obama did. I remember vividly so many times in his stump speeches in 2008 when he said republicans have their own ideas and we should listen and work with them.

On the other hand, you could argue that Obama learned early on that the GOP was not to be reasoned with, and has since been framing himself as the reasonable actor and the GOP as mindless, counterproductive obstructionists. He built the narrative that the GOP will burn the country down to spite the Democrats/the black person in the white house, and we should give him credit for that. He couldn't have done it without "playing dumb," so to speak.

The thing about the Clinton's record in the 90's, and what i'm starting to hate about "politicians Flip Flopping" is that Politicians are just people and people can change. For example Hillary did vote for the Iraq war. It's established fact at this point the Bush Administration lied to everyone about the justification can't fault Hillary for agreeing to something she was lied to about.

Another one is her support for gay marriage. There is that quote going around about her saying she didn't support gay marriage int he 90s. In 1996, Gallop said only 27 percent of people supported gay marriage. http://www.gallup.com/poll/117328/marriage.aspx The LGBT rights movement is all about changing peoples minds about how we deserve rights and we got her to change her mind. That's a win for LGBT people.

Nice.

I am very pleased with how tonight went. Not only was Trump awful at everything but he had a few terrible soundbytes. The Take Their Oil, the Putin tongue bath, the Rape Tweet, the Rubbish Generals, and the outright lie about not supporting the Iraq War.

Tonight is a good night.

To be fair that's the easiest narrative in the world to establish when the GOP is currently burning down the country to spite the black person in the white house
