Nope, not a cop, but if a person is going to use a quote as an example to the rest of the readers, it is usually a stronger argument when the actual source of the quote is given as something more than "As one conservative columnist put it"; all of us might just as well post our cites and just say "Well, as I heard around the cracker barrel..."...

... and how really deep must I be in your head to have compelled you to make your comment when you could have just as easily just ignored my post? I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

Hillary? Not my dog in this fight. I'll leave the Hillary bashing to you and "some conservative guy you heard from"...

Ok. Whatever makes you feel better when she looses I guess.
Got anything to say about your girl Trump?...

On the other hand you had little to say about it other than to complain about that and to post the rest of the article in violation of forum rules. That tells me you just wanted to take another dig at me.

I usually try to answer those who reply to my posts but I can easily make an exception for you since all you seem to want to do is play self appointed forum critic.

Yeah he is a sucky choice for a candidate and would make only a slightly less odious president than Hillary Clinton would. Vote Libertarian.

Right. And i'll expect an apology from you for making a false quote because I didn't say that. Until then buh bye..

Both parties nominated a candidate worse then the other.

Makes for an interesting logic puzzle or philosophical 'physics' problem, doesn't it?...

Trump has taken his campaign to a new level of strange: he has 'demoted' campaign chairman, Paul Manafort and he has replaced him as his current campaign manager with a person who has never managed a major political campaign, much less a Presidential campaign and appointed a new CEO, the editor of Breitbart, who is known for an abrasive style, one which often makes Trump's seem reasonable in comparison:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...his-own-image/

The appointment of an inexperienced campaign manager, who happens to be female, might be an attempt to make himself seem more sensitive to women's issues; either that or, when he loses, he can just blame it all on the "broad". It appears Trump is going for broke and renewing his so far faltering campaign style...

Part of this move may be because the Putin-Manafort-Trump connections are coming more into light and some very serious questions are arising about the legality of Manafort's and his associates' possible violation of lobbying laws as they pertain to actions by US citizens acting as agents for foreign powers and interests:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016...rt-claims.html

It is interesting to note, if the persons involved in these activities were either DEM candidates or their associates, there would be a hue and cry by the GOP congress for hearings and investigations; I will not hold my breath for those calls any time soon; the standards of ethics and morality for the GOP congressional leadership are well known to be fungible...

Another possible reason for the Trump campaign shakeup may have been seen in yesterday's foreign policy speech by Trump: he was was reading his remarks from scripted notes and teleprompters and seemed very uncomfortable not being able to give the audience the "Full Trump". The lukewarm reception of his speech by his followers may also have played into today's decisions. The Trump campaign has been somewhat like those WWE or other pro-wrestler shows, were the wrestler comes in all puffed up, bellowing and snarling about what he's going to do to his opponent; this has been his style and this is what his audience, much like the WWE audiences, craves. Trump also thrives on the fevered adulation he receives his followers when he is in "Full Trump" and I think he was missing it when he had to resort to being 'civilized' Trump.

Curiouser and curiouser...

They are both bad in my opinion, however Trump is very dangerous and has the mental stability of a 5 year old.

Clinton is not clean, thats for sure, however in a global world (that the USA also depends on) she is the safer choice for foreign trade and diplomacy.

My concern is that the Clinton voters are not as eager to turn up on election day as the Trump voters are. Thats the real danger...

Safer for who? Not us that's for sure given their history of shady dealings and her history of incompetence.

I feel like I am being given a choice. Would I rather be hit in the face with a wet or dry frying pan. Technically, there is probably a difference, but for all practical purposes, it is the same.

After I read someone said Clinton was the better choice

I started to think about some scenarios that could happen in near future and what each of these two candidate would do if they were elected.

I don't think that too many people think that Clinton is the better choice. More that Clinton is the less horrible choice. Just like there are many people who feel that Trump is the less horrible choice.

We used to have an actual Pro-Trump person at work. Strangely he has been real quiet lately.

Mostly what I run across are the anti people.

Anti Clinton
Anti Trump

But not a lot of pro people. I guess this is not a pro type election.
