I figure since I am voting Third Party, I am not voting for either of them, which means I am voting for both of them, too. That's three votes. Who knew voting like a Philadelphia Democrat was so easy?

Kinda like Chicago... My grandparents were hard-right Republicans till the day they died. Now they're Democrats. And I haven't spoken to them since.

And I have said exactly that about a million times already but that doesn't stop them form coming right back with the big LIE!
It fits their master.

It is wearying, but whether they say it once or a million times, it won't make me vote for their boy (either).

I just never suspected so many people rode the short bus to school.   **nononono*

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Now, now that's not a polite way to say. We just call them 'conservatively challenged'.

Right.... :beer:    Somewhere in particle physics...this is resolvable. I hear they are finding a particle can be in two places at once... this election is certainly Quarky.

Trump seems to think he is the god particle.

It is a dark matter. I'm sure there is one, but if you observe it you change it, and it won't be there when you go back, anyway.

How do you support a candidate for president without making "it" about that candidate for president?

I would actually prefer it.  Yet every time I try to discuss Trump with a Trump supporter, it always ends up being a conversation about stopping Hillary, or even worse, stopping Ted Cruz.  Even on this very thread, the first mention of Ted Cruz was made by a Trump supporter while all the Cruz supporters tried to keep the focus on Trump.

So let's make 'it' about Trump.  Trump is a liberal.  A very bad liberal.  There is nothing, absolutely nothing, about him that could be construed as Conservative.  He is in favor of universal health care, insurance mandates, touchback amnesty.  He opposes free trade, property rights, first amendment freedoms, and states' rights.  He is now proposing an Obama-style stimulus and is willing to borrow the money (on top of the $1 trillion we print up each year).

Hell yes, let's make this about Trump.  And let's do so without mentioning what's-her-name.  Because every time I try to make it about Trump, all I get back is that I am helping what's-her-name win.  If you want it to be about Trump, then sell us on Trump.  Tell us how he will guard the torch of Conservatism and turn our nation away from reckless deficit spending, socialized medicine, and Hoover-style protectionism.

Right_in_Virginia, if the election is about globalism, you'd better put the brakes on supporting Trump.  Only three years ago he was calling for a world without borders and a global economy.

How dare you use Trump's own words against us.  Don't go by what he says.  Trump stands for whatever we want him to stand for, damnit!  Do you want Hillary to win?

Actually I'm most curious about who they would blame if Trump were to pull off a miracle win and then went on to be the liberal we know him to be.

There is NO WAY that will ever happen short of the whole Clintoon Foundation thing blowing up in their faces and THAT will NEVER be allowed to happen!

Of course who wins the election is more important than your precious conscience or how you feel about voting.  Your country matters more than you do.  Has America become so weak and self-absorbed that people no longer understand what it means to say, "It's not all about you, honey"?

I find that to be an interesting assessment, since at the beginning of all this Trumpmania crap the Trumpettes were squealing about how pissed off they were at the GOP, and they were going to push Orange Glorious onto the rest of us come hell or high water.  No self-absorption there, right?  Remember all that heady talk from Trumpette Nation, led by Orange Glorious himself, how they didn't need our support or vote, because Trump would roll like a steamroller over the entire political landscape because.. THE WALL?

Quote
In this case, it means voting for Trump despite whatever shortfalls one sees in him, to save America.

Translation: We effed up the entire election by overestimating the appeal of Trump, and now we need you to bail our sorry, misjudging a**es out in November.

Many folks are still quite butt hurt that Ted Cruz lost. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I gotta be mindful of saying "butt hurt."

What I meant to say was many folks are still being intransigent after support for their choosen candidate collapsed.

You see, it's not that #NeverTrump is bitter. No. They're just consumed by a gnawing hate eating away their gut until they can taste the bile in their mouth. Well, I guess they are a little bitter. Either that or they're coming down with something.

Anyway, don't y'all feel better? I did take back that mean 'ol micro-aggression comment.  888high58888

The leader of the butt hurt Brigade where Cruz is concerned is Trump himself. Hes like a bunny boiling spurned lover. He wont let go of his visceral hatred for Cruz and for Conservatives.

All the rest of what you posted is pure projection. You should work at a movie theatre.

NOT ONE SINGLE WORD ABOUT THE EVER PRESENT DANGER OF HILLARY CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY . Not one word. [other than comparing yourself to her]

Therein lies the problem. This isn't about you, it's about the country...all of us.

Which is exactly why we warned against nominating Trump in the first place.  Nothing did more to assure Hillary's coming landslide win than entrusting our country's fortunes than handing Trump the GOP flag.
