Glad the Ukraine is safe.

[mike72903]

Trump announces that Putin would never invade Ukraine.  Honestly, what an embarrassment.  There isn't an emoticon available to express a fraction of my contempt.

It's rather frightening when you think about it.

It's like the kid, who blocks his ears and yells, "LA! LA! LA! to avoid hearing negatives about
Trump. How an intelligent person could see and hear his, almost daily, demonstrations of
his unsuitability for office, and still back him...is beyond me

Hey, Hillary is no saint. I'm not thrilled with her, but I am terrified of Trump getting in office.

Hey, Hillary is no saint. I'm not thrilled with her, but I am terrified of Trump getting in office.

I feel very certain that you have no need to be afraid.   I have real doubts that Mr. Trump has a chance of actually winning.   Way too much free stuff at stake.    Your social agenda is safe.

When Hillary is crowned.............  Millions will stay on their social entitlements, our path toward third world status is a guarantee.   
IMHO, those supporting Hillary can feel comfortable knowing they contributed to such a great country's demise.   Not to mention any moral values that once existed in the nation.   She is such an inspiration to up coming generations on how to live one's life.   

Ride safe.

Ron,

I agree Trump has very little chance of winning, but not for the reason you state. He's already whining about a rigged election. He's such a narcissistic psychopath, he's a self fulfilling prophecy. Like others have said, he's just digging all the attention and doesn't really want the job. Just the title will do. I've never, in all my years, seen a bigger dope.

I can't wait for the debates...oh wait, he's already whining about them, too...

OK, Rams...I don't have a "social agenda". Even if I was a conservative republican, I could not
help put a sick man in a position of power. Many of you who are supporting him, are the same people who revered G.W.. The fact that he and his Dad have distanced themselves from this man should tell you something.

As for his greasing the tracks for a loss, that is what a true narcissist does. They cannot admit defeat, as it would make their delusional, self image,  house of cards come tumbling down. This way, if he loses, he blames it on others. It's textbook for his personality disorder.

Hey, Hillary is no saint. I'm not thrilled with her, but I am terrified of Trump getting in office.

For this election you could simply transpose those two names and speak for most voters one way or another.

Donald Trump historically has not allowed for political purposes a U.S. Ambassador to be sexually abused and murdered.

I can't believe you actually said that Willow.  Say what you want, believe what you want about Benghazi. There's been no shortage of opinion voiced here.

But to imply that political opportunity played any part, is absolutely beyond the pale. I'm truly shocked that you think that.

I didn't use the word opportunity and I didn't imply that she did it on her own.  It was from the top that the decision to delay military intervention was made and the Secretary of State simply carried out what the administration intended.  I will say that I don't believe that they were certain ahead of time of exactly what would happen but they had to know it was a strong possibility.

I'm sorry you're shocked.  I try not to be shocking.     I won't say what it causes me to think that you will not believe it's true.

[Valkorado]

I could not help put a sick man in a position of power.

It is my opinion that if you voted for B.H.O. either time, you did just that.   In my opinion if you vote for Hillary you'll be casting for a sick, dangerous and deranged woman.  

Tit for tat.

[Rams]

Just to be clear, I have always voted for the lessor of evils.   Never voted a straight ticket in my life.   My chosen candidate for the Republican and Democratic nominations did not survive the process.   Having said that, (while I may be narcissist and have several other disorders) I believe in looking at things realistically.    I'll be greatly surprised if Trump wins.  

I'll also admit that the vast majority of people I personally know are not voting for a certain candidate because they like that candidate but, they can't stand the other person.   I fall into that group.  

This country is going to hell, a lot of that demise is predicated in the social agenda that is advocated by the democratic party.   Virtually every person I know that supports Hillary is because Donald will take this or that away.   I only know this because that's what they tell me.   BTW, most of them are lower income or unemployed and aren't even trying to better themselves.   Won't take advantage of low cost or free trade training or other opportunities but, don't let that EBT card or unemployment check be late.   I know several people that take advantage of EBT recipients by buying their EBT cards at 50% on the dollar and then either using them or selling them for a profit while the initial seller is known to be using that money for  recreational drugs.   While the children of those folks (who the EBT card was intended to assist goes hungry)  I only know this because, that's what the buyer's tell me.   Respect is earned, they don't get much from me.  

[solo1]

Ron, I cannot argue with your diagnoses of Trump. I don't necessarily agree with it.

Go one step farther. We have only two choices. Now, why do you suppose rational mature citizens, knowing how Trump reacts will still vote for him?

IMO, the Hilary choice is unthinkable. UNTHINKABLE!  It has been demonstrated again and again that she will continue Obama's policies, AND MORE, resulting in the complete dissolution of our Democratic Republic in all respects. 

Trump, an unknown, could make major mistakes up to and including nuclear war. Hopefully there will be some checks and balances to keep that from happening (VP and Congress) BUT these are Ifs, And's or Buts, all uncertain  things.  Hilary Clinton is not to be trusted and that is based on her record, not her mouth.

I like to think that I am a rational mature 88 year old vet and I'm still for Trump.

[G-Man]

Hey, Hillary is no saint. I'm not thrilled with her, but I am terrified of Trump getting in office.

Donald Trump historically has not allowed for political purposes a U.S. Ambassador to be sexually abused and murdered.

And then lied about the actual cause for the terrorist attack right before re-election as to not admit failure in foreign policy.  Lie to everyone around the world, except her daughter who she told that very night it hapened.  Then lied to the parents of the dead soldier's and Ambassador's families.

Trump has also never been investigated over allowing State Dept. e-mail communications to be game for any hacker who tried.  Who allowed United States State Dept. information to be exposed, negligent according to the FBI, but unintentional.  And then lied about it, then lied about the lies, and lied some more.  If there was no intent, why lie?  Trump never deleted 30,000 e-mails that were subpoenaed.

Trump hasn't accepted millions of dollars from banks and foreign nations while in office.  Trump hasn't sold access to the would-be president.

But it's Trump we should fear because he says stupid things.  The other one lied and spent millions in tax payer dollars because of her perpetual lies in two investigations while she was sec'y of state, and previous investigations during previous positions held.  But Trump is no good.

When did it all get so backwards?      

[JimC]

Trump is not my first choice by a long shot. He reminds me of the schoolyard bullies.

BUT
Hillary is a criminal in my mind, anyone thinking of backing her needs to spend some time and watch

CLINTON CASH (it is on youtube, and free)

If you still want her in office after watching that film, I will pray for you and our country.

So, my friend, you took a printed text excerpt from an interview during which the interviewer, an intended subtle attacker, asked questions which were actually implied answers doing his best to ridicule Mr. Trump.  I listened to the interview and what was withdrawn was sort of the bragging section of the interviewer but not the context of what the interviewee said or at least intended.

I'm going to withdraw from this conversation at this point because much too the displeasure of my colleagues I am about to give in to the temptation to start talking about intellectual capacities, small person name calling and openly violate the rules that were set down long before I began frequenting this board.  Probably the reference to sexual activity and the horse would also be inappropriate.

Interesting.....a member of the press asking a Presidential candidate point on, pertinent questions about a subject that the candidate had just discussed, and he's an 'intended subtle attacker' ? i don't understand. maybe he should just accept interviews with Fox or Breitbart or some other
'news' agency that happens to play in the same softball league.

As far as 'small person name calling', I must have missed the condemnation of the pet names on a recent thread.

And I'm not quite sure about the sexual activity and horses?

If you did miss the condemnation then you don't bother to read what I post (what a surprise!).  I had given my opinion that such small minded behavior is insulting and demeaning to people who are in favor of those candidates or politicians.  there was so much crying and whining, though, amongst the immature of our midst that I was instructed that was too strict an interpretation of the Rules of the Road so I backed away on it as I was instructed to.  You won't find me using demeaning or ridiculing names for people in politics that I don't like.  I consider it to be more small minded than the pratice of democracy deserves.

As to the other reference it hails back to when I was being trained to kill people my normal response to someone who offended me deeply was an expressed desire for a particular activity involving "you and the horse you rode in on."  Outside I'm a lot older, but inside I still have some of the same traits.

As to maybe Mr. Trump should only grant interviews to Fox or Brietbart or some other "news" agency, that's a bullshit hypocritical response.  Perhaps it wouldn't be if some of the candidates you support would regularly grant sit down interviews with Fox or Breitbart.  Oh, wait, that's right.  Those folks only grant sit down interviews with the "news" agencies that are already on their train.  That's right.  I think the liberal networks are just about as newsworthy as you think the conservative agencies are.

I was referring to the recent threads (the last few days) about being exclusive to the candidates, 'New Words for the Dictionary'. Which briefly went beyond the candidates to include those that follow them.

As far as horse, I was referring to my earlier use of the term horse pucky, which seemed to confuse some people.

And as far as Clinton interviews, she sat down with Fox, 2 days ago.....
