Wow.

If You Don't Vote Democrat This November, Then **** You | Huffington Post

Well now. Apparently the vitriol flows freely from both sides of the sewer.

Actually. Maybe the zealots for both candidates come from the same rhetorical sewer. They both want revolution and it they could be doing enough to have their common wish granted.

Just sounds like a butt hurt liberal. I never heard of the guy. But I do love how Trump gets the libs in a snit.

See, this is something I find fascinating about human nature. Somewhere, on some gun banning forum, there's someone posting:

That's what I love about Hillary. She really gets the neocons in a snit.

Where have you seen Trump supporters acting like the douche in the article above?

Also, revolution, who is calling for revolution?

There's purple in the question, right? Gotta be purple.

You mean the Trump candidacy is not anti-establishment? This "movement" of his is not about "taking back America"?

I'm missing the purple in your post, aren't I?

I figured it wouldn't take much to find a Breitbart link.

... We are posting on the same website, aren't we?

Maybe they do it with less vulgar words... but they do act in similar ways.

Same doom and gloom attitudes, same black-and-white views.

NY Post: 'Trump's Revolution Should Be Embraced by Both Parties'

The slogan is Make America Great, not Burn America Down.

"Americanism, not Globalism will be our credo"--Donald Trump

If that is revolutionary, I guess I'm in.

Yeah, the health thing is tricky - and just another factor that cannot reliably be controlled for.

Truly uncharted territory this cycle.

'Stepping out' with other women problem (Bill)
Concealing serious health issues/drug use to fight same (Hil)

Together they kind of add up to one JFK

Come on. Drop the divisive, lazy lines and form an independent thought on the subject.

What is your opinion on why Trump has no ground game?

That he feels he doesn't really need it. After all, that same fervor that 'some' liken to a cult-like devotion should work powerfully to get out his vote

 

[BugI02]

Because Primaries are completely different beasts than Elections. Clinton has all the money and influence ready to vote for her in November. You cannot win without getting out the vote.

The big money political machine is sitting comfortably behind Clinton, watching Trump do nothing to win. Trump isn't grassroots, and he is getting establishment backing.

So when you see the massive differences between Clinton's GOTV and Trump's.... why does that make it OK to blame INGO members in Indiana for his potential loss? (This question is less directed at you, and more at other people here)

His loss will be 100% of his own doing. Whether it's intentional or not is up to each person to decide.

Why is this such a rub for 'some'? Why not just brush it off, just like 'some' do of everything else that doesn't fit their antiTrump narrative

Somebody writing on a wall near you?

What is a ground game these days anyways? Nobody comes and picks me up on a bus and takes me to the polling place; they only do that in inner cities, and homeless shelters.

The ground game is over rated. Door to door is dead. I bet Amazon sells a heck of a lot more vacuums than Kirby.

I could pick out a dozen quotes in isolation from Lenin, Marx, and Mao that would sound equally reasonable.

Good observation, but even though I am not a JFK fan, I am disinclined to believe that he would deliberately sell out his own country as with the Clinton-style bribes (payable to the foundation) in exchange for favors to foreign nationals at the expense of the republic.

Man oh man this is going to be a fun ride.

Nah. We all lost here. No one will benefit outside of the people running and their friends.

President Trump will get things right for us.

I had no idea that you had that much money. Good for you...bad for the rest of us.

I have no idea why people believe this.
