somethingawful forums poster TEAYCHES aka THS thinks it would be acceptable to murder/assassinate US Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, I don't think it's a very acceptable reaction at all, to advocate for the assassination of any US presidential candidate be it Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or anybody, TEAYCHES. That's a very dumb thing to say. I for one am excited to see this election cycle as the candidates are very unique from each other but I surely do not think wishing death upon the candidate Donald Trump is very cool at all.

It puzzles my people can't understand Trump's popularity. Take a good long look at his republican opponents, think real hard about anyone of them being president. Okay, now that you are done throwing up in your mouth you understand why people like Trump. Just think of Trump as saving us from a third Bush presidency.

Gridlock in Washington is a good thing believe it or not. Just imagine some of the abhorrent legislation that would be flying through the house and senate if our government could actually agree on everything.

It's hard to disagree with this but we should try to anyway. Congress does have a legitimate mandate to achieve. Governing needs to happen. Like, for one thing it's bad for the economy if things are so gridlocked that budget shenanigans start happening.

I get the love for trump but I'm utterly shocked at people not eating jeb up like I thought they would. In my eyes he's a better contender and smoother operator than his brother, and he has the name recognition. I figured he'd be able to latch on to the same power base and then some.

Maybe I can be wrong twice and Bernie will blow Hillary out of the water. That would own. Trump v Bernie primary. Just imagine it.

to answer your question no one wants to see a third bush and the grandson of a man who said he couldnt remember where he was when kennedy was killed but was documented by the cia as being in the same town that day, we do not want that man to be president or anymore bushes

clinton aside from being another president who loved coke and cheating on his wife and maybe stealing money sometimes seems to have done a pretty good job, i have a lot of memories as a kid of people generally loving clinton

but his wife sucks and is already a criminal before election, and i really sincerely hope the women of america would not vote for someone they don't actually have confidence in just for some kind of gender representation or good vibes in office.

I think Bill gets a big pass because the Republicans were busy making GBS threads all over themselves trying to do ANYTHING with the Monica Lewinsky scandal as well as Bush II being the worst modern president in history, however his actual legacy and the policies he enacted are the same 1% serving poor people loving horseshit the right wing wants.

Deregulation of the derivatives market? Oh yeah, that turned out well and didn't result in one of the largest recessions in 80 years.

NAFTA? Oh boy, what a lovely thing these Free Trade deals have been for America.

Don't Ask Don't Tell? Yep, a wonderful solution that LGBT servicemen and women readily embraced.

Tough on Crime? Yeah, this totally resulted in a net benefit for society instead of just incarcerating a ton of Black People for decades on minor offenses.

Iraqi no Fly Zones? The expansion and continuation of this policy really checked Iraqi power and wasn't an ineffectual boondoggle that resulted in the deaths of thousands.

gently caress Bill Clinton and the New Democrats in general. If the Republicans weren't a bunch of corporatist totalitarian witch hunting assholes, he'd certainly not get the positive rap he does. But oh boy, the 90s! Bubble Economy and Prosperity for all, even if it was just laying the groundwork for W and his band of merry fascists.

Well, lets see. It's not like Jeb's last name is such a tarnished brand in this country that he had to leave it out of his campaign logo in order to not immediately remind people about a legacy of horrific wars and economic meltdowns.

Bernie Sanders is the only person running for president that would do a better job than Trump. Think about that for a bit and weep for our nation.

Reagan and bush jr were both clowns but they were fronting for a very organized conservative political machine (which represented the super rich) that had real political agendas.

Hoover was a mining magnate, but he built his reputation using his European connections for humanitarian purposes during World War I, became Secretary of Commerce, then was elected President.

Everyone else either held prior elected office or was a general, except Taft (career civil servant).

if you scrape the veneer off any other republican candidate's rhetoric you'll find equal disregard for the wellbeing of women and immigrants

and if you stop to consider why such vitriol is carrying him in the polls you might stumble into generations of brewing racism and misogyny

Im preaching to the choir but seriously, trump is just plain saying the things other candidates can only sashay towards.

yet no other candidate is under the scrutiny Trump is facing, but they should be.

news outlets should be taking every policy proposal to task, not just the poo poo trump is saying.

A only follows from B if you assume that women can't be anti-women, which isn't true. anti-abortion, from a legislative perspective, always means anti-woman.
