They said that REPEATEDLY about Obama versus Evil-R-Us.

There are a lot of people who truly, viscerally hate that woman. Don't bet against the Donks handing this to Trump because they hate her worse than the GOP does. Which raises the question, would swapping candidates be a help or a hindrance here?

Yep, so far the leftists have won, there is no difference in these two NY Libs, so it's of the utmost importance we all write in Ted.

Just so you all know, we're not alone in our push to write in Ted.

Have you ever read Melville, sieur?

It's all moot anyway.  If Trump runs against Hillary, he can't win.

Latest Quinipiac poll shows Trump and Hillary tied in FL and PA with Trump 4 points up in OH.

Herman Melville? That's like saying you ever read Shakespeare.

Unfortunately.....like it or not.....it appears Trump will be the next GOP nominee for president.

Pick your poison Hillary or "the Donald"

Left with those two choices I will probably vote for Trump and then commit suicide (to avoid staying around to see what happens)

Shallow is as shallow does, Forrest.

Well I never considered the depth of the joke but it could be considered shallow.

Keyword, "Appears". Anyway the media is going all out to make that happen, or rather appear he looks Presidential (Trump meets Ryan) media frenzy bull shit, but until he hits 1237 delegates, he's just another Leftist RINO candidate.

Even if he hits 1237 he is still a leftist rino. I keep hearing I should vote against hillery but I have not heard WHY i should vote FOR trump.

You're right, I've not heard one valid reason other than SCOTUS pick, but then, Trump has yet to prove to us he won't pick a Marxist.
Even then, he needs to be the caliber of Scalia or a Cruz.

Actually I HAVE read Melville. And most recently, Shakespeare's Tempest. Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. It beats the Hell out of reality T.V.
Call me Ishmael.

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes" That is a line from one of the only film series that I have enjoyed recently. Lucas was mostly a conservative.

I understand the intense emotion about Trump, but I do not share it. Unlike most people, my vote is based more on strategic thinking with the Buckley Rule uber alles.  Strong conclusions require strong evidence.  Sure trump needs to get down to specifics and to repair his image with many groups if possible - but he is running center-left because he wants to win. He will likely swing right after winning, because that is the most expedient course.

All of you nice folks are forgetting that it is possible that Trump will follow conservative principles because they are simply more expedient at administrating a reelection chance for him. If he swings back toward NWO Statism, or Alinskyite Marxism he will be doing the equivalent of putting a bullet in his own head (politically).

Ryan has the right idea - and to some degree, Trump must have his feet held to the fire - because he must give at least the appearance of having a change of heart in many ways  - or he will lose.
Mark Levin is doing that in large part, viz a viz conservatism. I think at this point, Levin's endorsement may mean more to Trump's chances than Ryans.

One of the reasons I've decided to  give Trump another chance is that Michael Medved has all but come out for Hill-O-Lies over Trump and I have come to detest Medved.
