I've listened to several Trump speeches. The one he is giving today in Florida seems more frightening then a lot that I have heard before. Crowd is whipped into a real frenzy. I really worry this guy will be President.

Edit: Trump just basically said that trials should be speedy and suspects shouldn't have lawyers representing them.

It isn't. You know why it isn't? It's because the people who show up to these, are already motivated to vote, otherwise they wouldn't show up to a rally. Ground game is about motivating the people who aren't going to rally's.

Honestly, my big concern with nuclear isn't the waste, its that I do not trust the American government to effectively monitor and regulate it.

We will get a bunch of republican senators saying the market can regulate nuclear power best and then suddenly there goes the West Coast.

I need to be convinced we won't get an atomic Deepwater Horizon

I mean, the whole point with nuclear power is that we can't fight for just having it be new and well-made, we need to continue to fight for it to stay well-regulated.

That's why regular, stupid people don't like politics. Politics are hard and require a lot of effort to understand technical details and empathy for people who aren't like you. And political battles are rarely fully settled. Sometimes, they come back and become annoying again, or you get regression on things. See: the Voting Rights Act.

But if "Republicans will ruin it! :qq:" is a justification for not doing things we might as well pack it up and go home.

broken reflection on the surface of never
I pasted the Trump rally stats because I watched Hillary's livestream from Philly earlier. There were under 2000 watching Abuela on youtube and maybe a few hundred in the crowd.

If those are the people for H that are already "motivated to vote" than Abuela is in big trouble.

e: 42,000 watching Trump rally on youtube stream now.

Those topics are not surprisingly in the slightest btw, they're just phrased a little differently.
