If a large percentage was in the mood and determined to put an asshole in the White House, I dunno what could be done to deter them.

Can you believe that shit?

I swear it's true.

If you don't believe me I can pull up the posts of the idiot who said those things and show you. Do you want me to?
Do you really think you that can somehow embarrass me or bully me, Joad?

You're more delusional than I thought, brosky.

"A cry In"

"A group scream"
This is the kind shit the machine wants you to believe so the whole caboodle can be disregarded as hysteria. This is the kind of shit that creates stories for the masses. This how the propaganda machines works. They focus on the little shit to piss people off instead what peoples fears really are. Look at the comments. That is exactly what they are going for.

The "machine" hates Trump.

That's part of the reason why I like him.

And yeah the "machine" hates the left and tries to denigrate them at every opportunity. But so much of the left is so damned wimpy that they leave themselves open to it. Bernies one of the few lefty's out there that showed any backbone. And he got thrown under the bus.

The establishment (I prefer to call it that instead of "machine") also pulled out all the stops to try to throw Trump under the bus too. But he beat them. I admire him for that. And boy have I taken a lot of flak for saying stuff like that.

Sticking with the belief that Trump is on your side, TJ?
Ho ho ho.

See you at the real revolution.

Hell I'm all ready persona non grata with just about everyone on this forum.

What have I got to lose?

Here goes.

The establishment hates him.

That's a plus.

I like him on trade.

I like him on infrastructure rebuilding.

I like him on foreign policy.

I want to see Obamacare axed. Although I don't think he'll come up with anything better, but I would still rather move on from this failure.

Supreme court? Who knows. I will say that Obamas master strategy of not making a recess appointment sure backfired didn't it?

I like the fact that he will be a strong leader. Obama, the great conciliatory accommodator got us nowhere. I like Obama. He's handsome, charismatic, cool, smart, but he's a push over.

I don't like his tax plan.

I'm a little concerned about Roe vs, Wade, but the truth is I think Trump is a closet liberal on social issues. I think Ted Cruz pegged him right about the "New York Values". Except to Cruz and his followers that's a bad thing, to me that's good.

I also think he's probably an Atheist. I think that thing where he said the Bible was his favorite book was total fucking bullshit, which is fine by me.

I also think he's brilliant. Absolutely fucking A brilliant. He ran a campaign that defied all conventional wisdom and he would up making all his detractors look foolish in the end.

I consider him to be the enemy of my enemies, and therefore my friend.

He took down Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton. Just for that he's already done a great service to this country. I'd give him a medal just for that.

Were he not a neo-Fascist know-nothing, you may have a point.

He certainly does reactive bullshit demagoguery well. Goody for him, until customer service time comes and he has to deliver.

We won't know how he's going to govern until after Jan. 20, 2017.

I'm waiting to see how that first 100 days goes.

That take us out to the beginning of May 2017.

No. Observing what a fool you make of yourself embarrasses me.
