Donald, You Ignorant Slut

Latest polls show that in red, red, red Texas, Trump now leads by 6% over Clinton. Trump is still ahead, but not by an conceivable lead. A couple of more goofs and bad debates could possibly turn Texas blue here. One can dream......

This has landslide written all over it. Romney won Texas by about 1.3 million votes. A 6 pt victory would be roughly 0.5 million.

A previous Texas poll was about 11 pts for Trump, so the PPP poll could be an outlier. Looking under the hood, I think maybe the poll indicates a better lead for Trump, but it is depressed from Romney's margin of victory.

We'll see if there are other polls. I still believe that Texas has some seats for the Democrats, which can help swing the House.

Again, we can count on more Trump screw ups. And maybe, maybe, a last month obvious loss that depresses the GOP vote. "He's blown it, why bother to vote." Maybe, maybe, a political miracle may happen. Again we can all dream.

There is such an archive in Trump. Clips of his speeches will be shown in future decades the same way we see clips of Mussolini mugging and thrusting his chin forward. Long books will document every crazy rally he's led for the past 14 months; a full documentation of his comments will leave readers wondering how T's level of sheer nastiness didn't derail his "campaign" in its first days...and what that says about Fox News Nation. I suggest "Skidmark" as the title of a truly comprehensive book on Trump's impact on our national honor, our standards of public discourse, and the intelligence level of the hard righties who have stuck with this man.

Americans have been getting more stupid and more spoiled for a long time. Eventually something like Trump was bound to percolate to the top of the dung heap.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Donald does have an odd effect on journalists.

He's trying to say that liberals are worse because they dislike Trump for superficial/irrational reasons while Libertarians like Jason dislike Trump for rational Reason X. Now, when I called him on it by listing 3 concrete things rationally to dislike about Trump he realized his political game was over so he decided to evade, evade, evade. See, if he lists concretely his Reason X, then it means he thinks no other reason is legitimate and bingo, his insinuation backfires.

He he he, look at you pretending that you directly asked me for reasons to dislike Trump.

Instead you said "I don't like him because he's racist, you say you dislike him for other reasons, therefore you like racism you poopy-head."

While Jason is slandering me, I'll post what I actually wrote after Jason claimed to have a single "reason" for disliking Trump:

So you like his idiocy and racism, but you don't like his authoritarianism??? Why is that so mutually exclusive to you?

This, of course, is the question that Jason refuses to answer.

Evade, evade, evade.

Here's me, asking you directly: what is (are) the reason(s) you dislike Trump?

I'm wondering why this still hasn't been answered - was the tone in this thread not PC enough that you all hurt Jason's feelings?

Nah - it just put him on the spot, for pretending to be something other than a Trump apologist. How embarrassing.

No, I am not you. How embarrassing that you confused us.

The more you evade direct questions, the more embarassing it must become.
