So is he actually admitting that he'll be a terrible president, or does he just assume he's gonna lose? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

darkblue Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I did use the name Solomon so I can see your connection to a religious preference. You have your view and I have mine, I look at Soloman in a historical way. Christ as a historical person was hated by the religious system of the day. I was born a catholic by the time I was 9 years old I believed if I did not go to mass on Sunday I committed a mortal sin, "brain washing", the isms of yesterday are the isms of today, just in a different form. Is that a yes? Link to post Share on other sites
Princess of Tap Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 No,no,no,nono! It's a conception I don't have the answer to. The part "religious preference" I wonder what the founding Fathers would answer you. Thomas Jefferson was a deist - - do you know what that is? A little hint, he's not a Christian.

Ariel Edwards-Levy Staff Reporter and Polling Director, The Huffington Post WHITNEY CURTIS/REUTERS Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at the Old State House in Springfield, Illinois, July 13, 2016. Hillary Clinton holds a modest but solid lead over Donald Trump in the race for president, according to three new surveys released on the eve of the Republican convention in Cleveland. New ABC/Washington Post, NBC/Wall Street Journal and CNN/ORC polls find Clinton with leads of 4, 5 and 7 points respectively in head-to-head matchups against Trump. Other surveys this month have shown a closer race, including a CBS/New York Times poll that found Clinton and Trump tied. A poll of 11 battleground states released Sunday by CBS and YouGov gave Clinton just a 1-point edge in those contests. HuffPost Pollster’s model, which aggregates all publicly available polls, gives the former secretary of state a lead of just under 4 points nationwide. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-convention-poll_us_578b9994e4b08608d334e62c?section= Link to post Share on other sites

Hibi Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Those lives were wasted because of the actions of the preceding two Dem Presidents. Nixon ran on a platform of ending US involvement and he did. Of course S. Vietnam ceased to exist. This is the typical result of most civil wars; one side ceases to exist. To me Civil wars are the saddest type of human conflicts. But I don't see how one can fault leaders of foreign nations for the deaths or outcomes. How many soldiers died on Nixon's watch? So you're saying he's blameless because he didnt start the war, but ended it? Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 It's funny how when people say how despicable and deceiving the Clinton's are they bring up all the despicable and deceiving Republicans.

ElCid Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Dictatorship and oppression of all oppostion begins at Republican convention. A petition with sufficient signatures was presented to the secretary, who actually tried to hide from the delegates. It was ignored. A voice vote on adopting rules was called for and I watched it. The chair refused to recognize any of the non-Trump supporters and called for a voice vote. There was no way to tell if if was a yea or nay vote, but he declared the yeas had it anyway. A democratic, equal treatment for all convention would have had a roll-call vote and settled the issue. Is this what we would expect from a Trump administration? These are all conservative Republicans. How would a Trump administration treat the rest of the people? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 TRUMP/PENCE ON "60 Minutes"-- "Pence’s entire role on the ticket appears to be to filter the crazy out of what Donald Trump says in order to make is sound more conventionally Republican... The ISIS non-answer was typical for the entire interview, where Lesley Stahl did not get a single direct answer out of Trump or Pence... The Republican nominee spent most of the interview talking about himself and even bragged about how humble he is: The interview was a trainwreck tribute to the ego of Donald Trump, who made it clear that he was in charge and that the spotlight was always to be on him at all times. If Republicans were looking for someone who could make Trump seem less crazy, Mike Pence is not the guy. If anything, Trump is becoming even more insane because now he is acting like Pence is competition, not a partner. The lack of chemistry between Pence and Trump was obvious that one wonders if they had ever really spoken to each other before Pence was added to the ticket." http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/17/trumppence-60-minutes-interview-painful-train-wreck.html Link to post Share on other sites

Clinton now just barely edges out Trump in a direct head-to-head match-up, 46 percent to 45 percent.

JakeHolman Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Is the Party Over for Bushism? By:Pat Buchanan | July 19, 2016Neither George W. Bush, the Republican Party nominee in 2000 and 2004, nor Jeb, the dethroned Prince of Wales, will be in Cleveland. Nor will John McCain or Mitt Romney, the last two nominees.These former leaders would like it thought that high principle keeps them away from a GOP convention that would nominate Donald Trump. Petulance, however, must surely play a part. Bush Republicans feel unappreciated, and understandably so.For Trump's nomination represents not only a rejection of their legacy but a repudiation of much of post-Cold War party dogma.
