#15  BTW, there's an American colloquialism - When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds follow. Never saw anyone stage a fainting attack over that.

#14  Why? If it was a democracy I might care. It's an oligarchy and you got to pick the oligarch to protect your interest over others (as the other side has been doing for a couple of decades). He's a junk yard dog, but you have to decide if you want him or nothing at this point. There is no stepping down.

You don't have to care, but if the Republicans can't convince Trump to step down, nominate a decent candidate (why not Pence?) and use the last month for a vigorous campaign, they are handing the presidency to Hillary.
Maybe you should care?

#12  Maybe a better thing for me to say is: I can't _afford_ to be disgusted, I've already been evicted. Hope That Helps, Have A Nice Day.

#11  That link might be of interest if I were voting for Trump.

Instead, I'm voting against the person and associated Mandarinate who tried to give Egypt to the Moslem Brotherhood, that has handed over major amounts of US uranium to the Post Soviets... heck, I'm voting _against_ the deindustrialization and disenfranchisement of my country.

I'm tempted to say, if some crude shit he said a while back is getting some clitoris people's panties in a wad, well, tough shit, they shoulda maybe gotten born with dicks, cause I'm tired of bleeding to death.

I should care, because...?

#8  ...cause its better to have an enabler of a someone thought to be a serial rapist in the WH, right? A mouth vs a perp? No one said you'd get perfect.

#6  She won't have to. Trump doesn't need anyone else to sink himself.

#4  She'll be okay, various videos confirm that she can, umm, take a hit, shall we say.

#3  I read this as she has regrets (got clobbered) after jumping in bed with HRC to try to take down Trump?

#2  Everything she touches turns to sh*t. That's the fault of everything she touches, ya know...

#1  Hey, you answered when the Clinton campaign called. Fly with the crows and you'll get shot with them. Quit whingeing your 15 minutes was up years ago.
