Nope. What will happen for people like this is they just bought themselves another four years to complain about how horrible life is because of the Democrats.

That's the worst part about Hillary winning.  Not that she'll be President, but that we have four more years of complaining by the disenchanted conservative white male.

It will be a terrible day in this country if that happens.  Maybe you will finally see your errant ways when the US is riddled in debt, terrorists are attacking the homeland via refugees, and our kids will struggle getting jobs.

You're just killing yourself in here with this kind of fearmongering. The world is a dangerous place indeed although less dangerous than in the past (it's twue, it's twue) and bad things are going to happen. Overreactions like your's are not the path to mature governance.

Republicans are perfectly capable of being the "grown-ups" in any fiscal debate. In fact, one of my concerns as a lefty is that they will develop sensible economic and social policies that will draw moderates away from the Dems while still leaving the whackos nowhere else to turn.

A moderate republican would have destroyed hillary. Instead Hillary may have the biggest margin of victory ever. Crazytown.

I actually understand the depth of this campaign, if you want to be continually wrong do so. If you want an opinion from someone who is actually voting for Trump and has watched hours of tape on him. Then listen to me.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Staying under the radar for a while and then overloading the airwaves with an advertising blitz during a strategic window in the early fall?  DraftKings and FanDuel don't see any way that could possibly backfire!

Exactly. His campaign is barely spending any money and people are acting like he'd dead in the water. His campaign coffers are just stacking cash, stacking cash, stacking cash. You realize at some point they're going to spend all that money on overwhelming negative ads when it counts, right?

Half the voters aren't even paying attention right now. People are most influenced weeks before the election and compounded with a good debate, some more Wikileaks, and an overwhelming ad campaign this is Trump's path to victory.

OK, quick contest for everyone:  Best response to this line gets unlimited likes from me all day long, and a free beer if we ever meet.  I'll go first:

''I haven't watched much tape, only seen highlights, but he looks sluggish to me...''

Trump appears to be doing well with evangelicals, which is pretty amazing when you think of it. Everything that the moralists castigated Bill Clinton for are being totally overlooked with a pretty much amoral Donald Trump (twice divorced, out of wedlock father, etc.). The lesson that I get from this is that something else has replaced traditional morality as that which moves the religious right and that someone taking a more secular path can win (the GOP may have to change the way it goes about the business of nominating candidates at all levels, though).

How's that resume coming along?  

 
Hours of tape? Is this the Combine now?

"If you go back and watch Trump's rally from last week, you'll he has really poor technique up there on the podium. I've heard people say, he has the skill set of a Tim Tebow. Just coming up short with everything. Believe me, I've heard it from good people, okay?"

or he drops out and walks away with boatloads.

 
Remember when Trump was roasted on comedy central? Well apparently each roastee is allowed to make one rule regarding which kinds of jokes can be told, for example Hasselhof said not to make fun of his daughters.

Guess what Trump's stipulation was? You weren't allowed to say that he wasn't rich.

Which leads me to my next point.. I think it's obvious why Trump isn't releasing his tax returns. He will drop out of the race before he releases his tax returns.

Good point. The RR completely let that slide and that would have been a dealbreaker in the past for them. I think all that "traditional morality" stuff is just a platitude these days and will be even more so in the future as the traditional types age and die and aren't replaced in nearly the same numbers.

Funny how we've had eight years of a Democratic President, and there hasn't been a single terrorist attack (no, the random nuts with guns don't count) and unemployment is at record low levels. And please explain to me how the national debt has any effect on us whatsoever.

Please don't do that. The bolded isn't true superficially and it isn't remotely true in substance.

Why is it a big deal that the Orlando shooting's father was in attendance?  He didn't shoot anyone.  I don't get the outrage.  Maybe he wants to heal.  Maybe he wants to help.  I thought republicans were the party of freedom.

Bingo.

Nothing gets him upset like being challenged on his wealth.

My absolute favorite John Oliver moment was during his clip regarding The Wall and he played the video of that above statement.

He replayed the part where Trump explains how to defeat his $25 billion wall (a rope), and came back with the most hilarious look on his face.  Starting at about 13:20.  I can watch this on a loop.

But is it not fair to say objectively that unemployment figures have improved in the last 8 years? I would concede wage growth and labor force participation could be stronger, but in the last decade point of view, we're better off now than 8-9 years ago. True or no?

I don't think it is a big deal, but the shooter's father is a pretty big ####head, even if he did say the right things after his son did what he did. 

The only way this is even a small thing is if the Clinton campaign people invited him there and gave him VIP tickets. They say they didn't, which should carry zero weight with anybody. But there is absolutely no rational reason why they would have invited him, which makes me think they are probably actually telling the truth in this case.

That's factual.

Trumpeting unemployment as being a record lows is decidedly not factual.

It is a pet peave of mine when people take a point that has validity and exaggerate it. It happens all the time, and not just in politics. It is actually a terrible way to support an argument to anybody who is paying attention. Credibility destroyer...

What's interesting about unemployment is both candidates have a position they can support. While overall unemployment is lower, which Clinton can tout; wages are flat, labor participation overall should be stronger, and Trump can run on the status quo as the reason, and specifically tie in Obamacare as a reason. Want to know why more employers aren't hiring full time, or paying higher wages? Trump has a good argument here, and Obamacare is not viewed favorably while the man Obama generally is viewed favorably.
