Even as someone who leans progressive, I find this dis-heartening. Conservatives aren't all cretins requiring a beat-down. Many of their arguments and points-of-view are absolutely valid and worthy of discussion and debate. They deserve better. Hopefully they won't completely lose their seats at the table.
That sounds wise. I don't know how you could be right with the bolded, but maybe that's for a different thread. Thanks for the advice.
This could be a moment for them to tighten up their product. Although a GOP civil war may be painful, it could be the best thing for the party and more importantly the country. Just think, they could take a leadership role and tell some of their constituents that believe in some of the more awful things to grow up and enter the 21st century with the rest of us. Wouldn't that be awesome?
Reasonable fiscal conservatives who don't have wacky science or religious ideas deserve better.

First, I'm curious to see your definition of a "personal attack". Second, I doubt Hillary is concerned about the Deplorables telling all their friends to vote against her.
Short of putting on a sheet and moving into a double-wide she wasn't getting their votes anyhow.
The fact her team actually wiped the server several months before this is probably important in reading that word choice in retrospect.
Too bad that has nothing whatsoever to do with the job he's applying for. Knowing about geopolitical hotspots, on the other hand...
I hear robots love to grab #####.The Republicans would have been better off nominating a robot.
This is a recording. I repeat, this is a recording.
No it's not. It's possible to believe God created a mature earth, and to think that you have a strong belief in science, but you'd be delusional.
I was convinced you were going to go the Batman route:
That was not what the founding fathers envisioned. We need people from all walks of life, not only career politicians. Early Presidents were farmers and Ronald Reagan was an entertainer.
Oh, I agree with this. IMO the country is served best by dialogue and compromise between both sides. I really hope that this causes the Republican Party to move back to the center and focus on reasonable fiscal conservatism. The problem with that, though, is that a big part of the base wants to die on a few different hills in the already lost cause of the culture war. Guess we'll see.
I thought you said compromise. What do you see the Democrats doing? Hillary is not proposing anything new compared to Obama and we already know the same policy created huge deficits.
The world has changed a bit in the past 240ish years. And don't compare Trump to Reagan.
The problem the past decade or so doesn't lie with the Democrats, guy. The right went off of the deep end when Obama got elected. And
at you being "independent."
I did not. What the media and campaigns focus on should change with the times. It is the same old formula which helps two-faced politicians.
I am an Independent. In fact I voted for Obama.The problem the past decade or so doesn't lie with the Democrats, guy. The right went off of the deep end when Obama got elected. And
I didn't say that at all. I said that the last decade or so is primarily on the Republicans, which is true. The birtherism, the shutdowns, denying world scientific consensus on climate change, the attacks on the LGBT community, the recent Merrick Garland nonsense, etc.
Hillary attacked Trump for not paying taxes when he filed legal deductions. It is not against the law to not pay taxes, in fact half of America does so legally.What was that "personal attack" again?
I almost posted about A Face in the Crowd last night. Andy Griffith is a Trump like character who appeals to the common man but is undone by a live mic picking up his comments as to how he really feels.
I don't understand how compromising with the GOP is supposed to reduce the deficit. The GOP doesn't want to spend less money, they just want to spend it on different things. Their increases in military spending alone more than make up for the social spending of the left.
Yes. The elites say farmers and blue collar workers are not educated enough to pick the right President, when they are the people who can see through more of the BS. They do not care as much for form over substance.
Trump is the one guy who consistently spends less to do more. Just the campaign spending alone shows a clear difference between the 2 candidates on how they use other people's money.
Hillary said, "Maybe Donald doesn't want the American people to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes."
