    So you're saying you're full of bullshit (aka yourself)?

    (Sorry in advance - I only kid here.)

    How about you be the bigger man, then? I'm not even asking you to accept my point of view, I'm trying to understand yours.
    You're coming across as kind of defensive, when clearly you don't need to be. You won! Help me out a little. I'm not rioting either, I'm asking questions. Is that bad?

    What have I said that indicates I haven't accepted the defeat? Clinton conceded, as she should, given the rules.

    Do you think that the way a candidate ran is totally irrelevant? So a candidate can say anything and promise anything and we can't judge him/her for that because nothing counts until he's president? But isn't that kind of dangerous? If the way a candidate runs is totally disconnected from the way they'll govern, how are we supposed to know who to vote for?

    Besides, isn't picking an administration "doing stuff"?

    If he's interested, now is the time. But the Greens have NO infrastructure.

    No tears on my part. All I asked was a simple question that you can't seem to answer.

    And yes, I'm a troll and anything else you want to call me. That moderator chair gives you the right to say whatever you want to me.

    Have fun!

    The campaign was ran fine IMO. There were a couple of situations where I thought he was overly aggressive on his rhetoric. Which obviously the media and most far left liberals decided to misconstrue as racist, bigotry, etc.

    But until he starts to govern, I have nothing to judge him on yet.

    His picks so far are fine. I don't see a problem with them. Except the fact that MSM is trying to plant division as usual in each and every choice he makes.

    The article was okay and gave insight into some Trump supporters. I am sorry you think otherwise.

    I agree...same with Libertarians in my view....Bernie and Elizabeth Warren seem to hit the ground running...more people are leaning independent it seems like the Dems could blow it up and reinvent themselves as a more inclusive party.

    I wish it were this simple. He's hired some questionable personalities to "do his work". I hope they focus on business, and not hate/fear mongering.

    I'm curious what the ones were where he overstepped. Also, if you have the time, I'd like to know one instance that the "MSM" jumped all over that you think was fine, and how you think it was misrepresented.

    What is the division and why do you think the "MSM" is trying to plant it? Does this include Fox News?

    See, people said this about the "grab them by the pussy" remark. I'm being 100% honest that I have never in living memory said anything like that. Am I a prissy do-gooder?

    There's also something odd about comments like "murderers and rapists". I've seen people argue adamantly that it's a LIE that he said "Mexicans" are that, that he said "illegal immigrants". Well, literally he said "Mexico is sending" murderers and rapists.

    It's just not true that illegal immigrants from Mexico commit crimes at any rate higher than others - unless, of course, you count their very existence in this country. So why did he say it? The obvious answer is that it was a "dog whistle" to people who think that about Mexicans. Are THEY racists? Or is he just clumsy with his words? There are an awful lot of actual racists who really think he speaks for them. It's funny that the people who AGREE about what Trump means are the media and the KKK. What are both of them getting wrong?

    I haven't said anything like "grab them by the pussy", but I can tell you I have said things that are as much, if not more, offensive. Maybe not even in the same realm or in regards to women, but still... I have heard people say worse. Of course, this comment was made in a conversation that he never expected to be leaked. An egomaniac with a ton of money, an elitist, a powerful man because he's made of money, showing his form of sexist braggadocio and bravado. This happens more than we're willing to admit. I'm not condoning it, but I can be honest I've said bad things. 50% of the people that reacted to it reacted to it because he wasn't their candidate. But I believe that 50% of the people that reacted have also said and thought worse.
