  1. Was it a western? that must have been a very tall horse (other than that, good on the cast for trying to keep the audience at least civil enough) ...

  3. IMO - anyone serious about it would start locally - since the electoral votes belong to the states, then the place to start is to convince your specific state to move to proportional disty of their electoral votes if enough states go that route, maybe the rest flip too - then it's a more natural step to straight popular vote Having the fed hijack ANOTHER right over the states? going straight there? C'mon - it's not serious, it's just whining under the guise of a fake cause. ...

  4. no I didn't - but don't let that stop you (I said regardless of how it went, fair or not, the protest vote would go against the 'insider'. I also commented on those that acted like it was purely one sided as well. that's about it) ...

  6. I like that Bill and George are such good friends. They know stuff that only the other does and it seems sincere and real. and.....it'll be less than a couple months before Donald and family are playing with Hillary's little grandbaby and she and Bill smiling on....one big happy power collective all in the same control room.

  7. this makes me chuckle "He started it" "She started it" when the SOP for the last couple decades is the pigpen, that position just doesn't fly It's step #1 of the playbook - and regardless who did it first, or who did it more (or who each side THINKS did it worse/first) - the protest votes against those tactics will always go against the career politicians as it's perceived to be them that created the atmosphere now, in reality, it's probably the public (demand) and the media (supply) that let it happen and encouraged politics to play out/evolve this way - Billvon's point that the any decent policy speeches get little to no press is dead on - across the board. If you want to hear a good speech from 'your' candidate, probably easy enough to find plenty, but it won't be provided to you. Those don't sell the public is so busy brainwashing themselves, at least no one has to do it for them any more now back to more insistence of "MY candidate didn't start it, and even if they did, the OTHER candidate is so much worse" there's a ton of commentary about social media, self affirmation culture, etc etc etc. the 60 Minutes focus group story. more, that really has some insight. It not a surprise at all. But stepping out of the bias box to observe it and noting everyone is part of it is the hard part apparently.... ...

  8. Okay, then why did CBS digitally add a swastika armband to Trump's upper arm? Hmmm? ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  9. You gotta be kidding me. People don't like the low road anymore. So guess who got most of the protest vote against low road tactics.....yes, the insider. I didn't see "high" on either team or down the rest of the ticket for that matter. Only Gary tried to go the high road and he got ridiculed for it. So I agree with your last sentence anyway. this is fun too - if this is what it's like to drink coffee.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs ...

  10. No, Trump is talking about making a New Deal - Millions of new taxpayer funded jobs on government projects. this is why it's still strange that Dems don't like him. He's a Dem. Pure and simple. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

  14. VERY classy concession speech by Hils. More with a tone and positive like this and fewer like the last few months and she wins in a landslide. It's really that simple......(or if the media had shown more of hers like this rather than just ratings boosting bashfests......either way) http://www.nbcnews.com/video/watch-hillary-clinton-s-full-concession-speech-804768835868 worth a listen, she did good ...

  15. No. Not his job. I only expect the FBI and DoJ do their jobs. Unlike the cover they have given Hillary this year. I expect Trump to hope Obama just gives a contingency pardon to Hillary on exit - or whatever he is able to do. It'll make it easier to avoid that topic going forward and stop with the pissy stuff. Regardless of what she did or didn't do, THAT drama would be a distraction to the country we don't need. ...

  16. So how come Trump won then? I know that's a flip comment - however because the Hillary campaign was much better at it than the Trump campaign was - maybe more likely is that this tactic is recognized as the standard political strategy and the 'insider' got hit harder as a result If one were to only watch political ads that were for a candidate rather than against a candidate we'd have gone to the polls with zero information. blame the media presentation, or the parties themselves or both, but that's the SOP lately the 60 Minutes focus group piece was spot on if anyone saw it ...

  17. And if the Gary Johnson voters in FL had gone with Clinton, she would have won. and the blame goes on Clinton, not the voters - lots of reasons, but two are forefront IMO, YMMV 1 - excessively negative campaigning turns off independents and millennials - back campaign SOP 2 - the ACA costs skyrocketing - can't be helped, this is policy both parties are broken, the way the media only shows the negative campaigning and not the positive campaigning is broken, the sheer extent of negative campaigning is broken we got a guy that the Reps won't like with a starting goal of a LOT of spending that feels like Obama's "Stimulus" package. We got a guy that the dems could have beat easily except for the one person they were forced to back. We had a campaign that essentially dehumanized any opposing discussion instead of facilitated open discussion (no, not just one party, admit it). if both the dems and reps don't admit they are broken and fix it, we'll keep getting caricature outsiders gaining popularity you don't win by dehumanizing the other guy - even if your fanatical followers are mean spirited enough to applaud - and even if the near term election is won on this tactic, society loses. you win by selling your philosophy to those in middle. this entire campaign was essentially a speaker's corner thread ...

  20. no, I don't think I'll be doing that. It's hard enough thinking about two assholes on the ballot Tuesday.

  21. Sounds stupid. Why not just spend the time with one's wife instead?

  22. It might still be tough, but not as tough, if you would hoe the row (like the expression), not the road. Maybe you didn't understand. But Brenthutch did. just cause you guys got it all wrong: I believe the colloquialism is "A tough rodeo" coined by rodeo clowns when expressing concern over particularly determined bulls - it's now expressed for any situation where you just can't shake the danger ...

  24. ^^ listen to the smart woman (and the lesson of the 2nd paragraph as it applies to today's media, ALL the media including the informal sites) I'm less patient with those that love when it exposes the 'other' candidate but then get outraged when it's 'their' candidate ...
