Win or lose
Trump has transformed the game for the better
He has singlehandedly shaken up the establishment and both parties, as well as the mainstream media
Long way to go
Hillary and Donald haven't even gone heads up in a debate yet
A little premature to write him off based on one bad week
I don't think Trump is qualified to lead this country
But I don't care
I do know that Hillary is a lying fucking twat
I'd rather see a wild card like Donald running this shitstorm than a disenguous bought and paid for establishment vagina
Hillary makes me sick to my stomach with her rehearsed teleprompter bullshit
At least Trump tells it like it is
I can't wait to see him go heads up against this evil lying bitch
I do know that Hillary is a liar
Trump may be a shameless capitalist
But I do know he isn't bought and paid for by special interests and big lobby
BUILD THE WALL
Don't want to put words into brother Tyde's mouth, but I don't see him referencing all women, just this one particular one. And of all the human females that could get the job, she'd be the last one on most lists. Die hard democrats, including most on this board, are holding their nose as they pull that lever this fall.
Who gave that impression? I havent seen anyone really make a case against her being anything but a thoroughly well equipped politician with a wealth of connections.
Her personality chafes me but its not like there is a single democrat on this board, or to my knowledge anywhere else, who would vote for _any_ of the republican contenders before her. Like ever.
All Ive seen are people calling her out for doing her job.

I never heard Warrens name come up as a contender but admittedly I dont pay much attention to this shit. Im actually worried that Clinton chooses Warren as VP.. not that I have a problem with Warren, I just think 2 women on the dem ticket would flip out a lot of people.

Druff,
It is common misconception that people with a lot of money don't sweat the small stuff. Perhaps most don't, but (1) Trump has demonstrated that he does care about such amounts, and (2) some rich people get (or stay) that way because they have such a focus, almost pathological.
Re Trump: It's been documented that he had his accountant file for an $300 tax break on his NYC penthouse that is only eligible to people who make less than $500k per year. Whether he actual makes only that much isn't the main issue, but that he has people working for him focusing on such details when he self-reports being worth $10 billion is consistent with him "caring" about $94 dollars.
Re other examples:
• John D Rockefeller kept a journal of every personal expenditure he made throughout most of his life. His penny-pinching ways helped him crush his business competitors, but also irritated his children and their spouses until he relaxed a bit in his quite old age.
• The CEO of a major personal healthcare company who sat on the board of directors of a major company I worked for was notoriously cheap, per a friend of mine in my company who managed paying the directors for board meetings they attended, whether in person or by phone. Even though this CEO/board member was making $5-$10 million per year in salary and bonus at his CEO position (not counting the considerable stock and stock option grants he received each year),...
... His once called my friend to bitch about needing to get paid for a telephone call board appearance that he actually hadn't attended. How much was he bitching about? Something close to $100.
... His wife bitched out my friend one Christmas at their home doorstep for not bringing them a $60 cooked ham (that they never actually requested) versus the free $25 holiday turkey each of the directors were gifted that year.
... Unlike Johnny D, who was as honest in his penny-pinching, this CEO later got bounced from his company for suspected embezzlement. At the time, his stock holdings in that company from the grants he had received were worth over $50 mill.
So, yeah. Rich people can be big dicks about small amounts.
