Interesting to note that Trump only beat Clinton by 100K votes. Gary Johnson got 200K votes.

:laughing:

Minorities did vote for Trump more than they did for Romney. Also, people that voted for Obama in 2012 voted for Trump. So obviously only racist white people voted for Trump.

The fact that the top intelligence agencies on the planet can't corroborate ANY of the actual events or content of the dossier should be a red flag to anyone with a lick of common sense that it is completely fabricated.

Denial.

DJ: You said "Trump won Florida because of latinos." I still say BS.

Watching news clips of the various town halls being held around the country and it's so bizarre. Complete 180 degree flip from 8 years ago when people were vehemently against the ACA. Now the vast majority are against Trump tearing it down.

Just watched an older dude talking about his long time wife who died because she had a pre-condition and couldn't get insurance. He ended with "I'm a die hard Republican and a lifelong conservative. But that doesn't mean I don't have a heart." Huge applause.

Another guy gets up and says "Rip Obamacare to shreds." He gets booed off the stage.

Bizarre.

If you can't answer "no" to my question in the last post then you are going to have to do better than that. :laughing:

Here's a little more to chew on.

We see things through different lenses. I'm not debating you anymore. It's a waste of breath and keystrokes for both of us.

I'm gonna have a blast watching your boy burn down to the ground though.

What's the record for the quickest Presidential nominee to have to resign their post? Flynn is going to smash it.

I didn't vote for Trump. That being said, that dossier sets a dangerous standard that will degrade journalistic integrity even more than it already has been. If something cannot be verified with hard information as opposed to this nebulous backstory that sounds like it came out of a bad James Patterson novel, then people shouldn't be running stories with sensationalist headlines that give credence to things that aren't true. Trump is the easiest target in the world: why use a dossier with inconsistent information as a card against him when the continued lack of any hard evidence only fuels his argument?

There's a serious possibility within the next two election cycles that someone is going to co-opt the Democratic Party (or perhaps the GOP) and take the opposite approach to Trump: they'll use money and influence quietly to use the media against the American public's best interests in the future. We were already on a slippery slope with Obama in that regard on some things. It's only a matter of time as social media becomes more and more prevalent in our lives. You think getting to the bottom of a story is difficult now? Wait 'til all the various media companies owned by people with a vested interest in the Democratic Party begin to leverage their positions in 2020.
