You apparently don't have a problem with convicted felons, so what's wrong with Clinton?

I was wondering what kind of people supported Trump... My guess was racists. I guess we have to add white trash to the list...

Funny thing: all the crowing from your side has only unified our side. Keep going-- it's actually been very helpful since we know who the real opponent is now. . So keep unifying us Jacoby, we need it.


Who's crowing over who's side? Shouldn't it be Hilary Clintons daughter who's screaming mary hell over the email server hacking? What if..one day she's made P.M and needs clarification about her mothers personal email business?
Also, Jacoby is a student who's studying these affairs.. so he is surely looking at the unity from all sides of any equation. To say he is an opponent, is quite childish, even if he does like to 'whir the pot', from time to time.

I think many types of people like Trump. What they have in common:

They're frustrated at the political system as it manifests itself these days. They're looking for an alternative. Not all of them are hooligans/white trash/whatever.

To me, Trump is no alternative. He's potentially dangerous. And not really a Presidential sort.

I concur. Obsessions with insiders/outsiders and ideological purity in both parties brought us to this point.

And people wonder why so many Americans are skeptical of a "third Obama term" (i.e. Hillary):

http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-ca ... 1470181874

"U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed"

"Obama administration insists there was no quid pro quo, but critics charge payment amounted to ransom"

"The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward."

"Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said."

That was the deal genius. We give them back their money and end the sanctions.

You don't really believe they can think and chew gum at the same time. They also cannot look at different levels...

If we're discussing Iran, who exactly was at the centre of the Contra affair? Oh, we might have forgotten it was the Republicans that sold them weapons despite an embargo... who pardoned all of these hypocrites? Bush, of course... what a journey politics is.

if only politics was just a parlor game like monopoly. if only righties and lefties could confine their conversations with just their side only, then mebbe there'd be a bit more peace here?

It think it's good to have a dialogue amongst people who are within various colors of the political spectrum.

I don't think it's good for "lefties" to only speak to "lefties," "righties to speak only to "righties."

The essential thing is to keep it civil.

Not really when you realize the Republicans and Democrats are essentially the same thing, we need a new foreign policy in this country for sure since the 'mainstream' of both parties more criminal and extreme than any fearmongering they may do about anyone else as well as totally incompetent and wrong to boot.
