I hope you're right. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether or not Curt Schilling is the GOP nominee in 2020.

Really the smartest thing Cruz can do is to drop off the radar until people decide who to blame for the loss. I think people are naturally going to focus on Trump because he draws the most attention. I also think that if anyone fancies themselves Trump's successor, they're going to be the loudest critics of Trump.

Cruz will come out swinging in mid-November criticizing the style of Trump and his inconsistency as proof that he was a bad conservative, but then obliquely talk about he great he thinks Trumps ideas actually were.

I never was, I just ignored the hell out of this thread when a whole bunch of new posters showed up suddenly very concerned about Hillary's health.

It really was a stunning ploy by the Clinton Campaign if intentional.

Flamebaiting with something they knew would be latched onto as a "47%" moment and turn the focus of the electorate to whether one candidate is literally the voice of neo nazis

The dr oz thing is not a medical record reveal, it's just a showy way to answer cherry-picked questions about his health

He said he would release the results of a recent physical, but you can bet anything slightly negative would be edited out

Yep, Dr. Oz himself said he wouldn't ask questions that Trump didn't want to answer. :sad:

I'm literally retarded
Look, I don't wanna seem like a white knight here, and I'm a stone-cold Trumper, but Hillary is a fragile old sweet, though a bit assholish, grandma, and it is simply cruel to expect her to withstand the torments and rigor of what is the Hardest Job In The loving World.

Look at pics of any president before and after their terms, and you can see how it ages them beyond the years.
...
I loved my old Grandma, and if Hillary gets elected, the job will kill her, I thinx.
And that would be a Bad Thing. A Sad Thing.
Seriously.
...
She at least needs a few weeks in hospital to get healed up, and then we will see.

Whatever was wrong with his brain was probably wrong before (and probably causing) the sleep deprivation.

David Duke is the right wing Jill Stein. He doesn't care about policy as much as publicity and acceptance of his ideas.

Presumably David Duke is either a) a total charlatan in it for the money and attention and/or b) presumes he will be organizing and championing some kind of dumb poo poo Turner Diaries scenario where the opinions of non-white men will stop mattering.
