Exactly. So here we are. Two "liberals." The question is whether either is tolerable.

You are too kind.

I think that what we have is a Populist/Fascist and a Marxist/Communist as the heir's apparent to the throne that the GOP and the Democrat party have enabled for the Executive.

We get a Statist-Dictator with no regard for the Constitution or the limits on power in both of them.

They are going to "save" the country, and/or make it great again for certain select peoples who bend the knee.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

To insult Trump is to insult his voters.---Jack Cashill.

Wonderful. A writer for a publication calling itself The American Thinker makes a case that calling
him a thinker means you're speaking with a lisp. This isn't a thinker, this is a man making his
own small contribution to the contingency that would stifle, not sustain debate and dissent.

Many have been the most intelligent people around who have voted for charlatans unworthy of their
intelligence. This year we have two such charlatans. And hosts of intelligent people supporting them
who are far worthier than the charlatans of their choice.

I'm sorry, but myself and millions of other Americans are not voting for Donald Trump.
He is an idiot, he has no plan, he is an obvious liberal and in no way shape or form does he represent me. When I see him and Hillary side by side, I see them as twins. They are the exact same.

Trump is not above insults.

Trump should be criticized when he is wrong, which is very often.

Conservatives who find Trump to be unpalatable have every right to say it and to not support his candidacy.

That is absolute crap right there, and honestly, it's the kind of argument that really pisses me off because it is so damn disingenuous.

This guy is essentially saying that he is voting for Trump because he thinks Hillary is worse.  I can respect that opinion, and not look down on a person who votes for Trump for that reason.  But how does that preclude insulting Trump himself?  Heck, I might end up voting for him for the same reason, yet I can go all day ripping him up and down.  So am I insulting myself if I insult Trump?  Voters - especially voters in a general election -- are only presented with two candidates who have a realistic chance to win, and choosing one of those two candidates over the other does not mean that you agree with everything that candidate has said or done.  So it is entirely possible to insult/despise Trump without insulting/despising everyone who decides to vote for the guy.

I can't believe anyone is either 1) dumb enough, or 2) dishonest enough, to make that argument with a straight face.

And on top of that, it also means that everyone who insulted any other candidate during the primary was also insulting the voters who supported that candidate.  Hogwash.  Talk about a "safe-space" bit of whining....

One of two posters here I have on ignore. She ain't a he!

Trump can't even get 70% in a one candidate race in West Virginia. What does that tell you?

He can say he supports all he wants.  He still has no policy papers or proven history. Even on ORielly tonight, he couldn't answer simple questions on whether he is against abortion. He would only say he would appoint justices. Wishy washy at best!

You can say he doesn't support all you want. Does that make you an idiot?

Truth does matter, which is why only fools put their trust in a man whose main negotiating tactic is feeding his marks "truthful hyperbole" - more truthfully known as lies - and ignore his long history of liberalism. 

As far as position papers go, they're like plagiarized term papers: a dime a dozen on the Internet.  Does anyone seriously think he actually wrote those things, or even significantly contributed to them?  I don't, and I don't see any objective evidence that says otherwise.

Agree wholeheartedly. Trump can't even regurgitate any substance from his papers because there isn't any.
