    Taibbi's a great writer. His main beat is Wall Street and he popularized the "Vampire Squid" analogy. He's pretty much an anti-establishment cynic, so wait until Trump's actually in power before he unloads fully. Still:

    Bear in mind also that his (Taibbi's) family is Russian, and he speaks it fluently, so he knows whereof he speaks about Putin.

    Evil is evil. If you think Hillary and Trump are both evil then you think Trump is evil.

    You're saying that breast cancer isn't as bad testicular cancer because you don't have boobs.

    No, cancer is cancer. There is no lesser cancer.

    Your analogies are stupid.

    Trump got my attention when he said he was going to win Ohio, PA, etc., and he did. When he said it, it seemed delusional. But when it came to be, it lends a ton of credibility to other things he's said. The proof is in the doing, not in what are proving to be lies about him.

    Trump is the lesser of the two evils, by far.

    Trump said he's going to win the black vote in 2020. To do that, black people will have to win a lot. Why would anyone be against that?

    If he doesn't govern to benefit black people, he won't get my vote (wouldn't anyway) or from many who voted for him this time.

    That was early in the campaign.

    He said he'd win those blue wall states the day before the election. Or close to then. He didn't need to spend money in NY and CA to win the election.

    Okay... so things he says that come true give him credibility, but things he says that don't come true don't detract from his credibility.

    And you do realize that pretty much every candidate says they are going to win, right? If Hillary had won would you be saying that gave her 'a ton of credibility'?

    You go with the loser, I'll go with the winner.

    That she didn't come through?

    OK

    We agree on that.

    Like I said, Trump's claim looked delusional at the time. He did come through.

    I like most of what he's done as president elect. If that's what he does for the next 4 years, you are going to be sad next presidential election day, too.

    How about that right track/wrong track? Swing in the right direction since the election.

    Lesser of two evils means they're both evil.

    So what?

    Trump is far less evil.

    I wish it was Gary Johnson, but it isn't.

    When given lemons, make lemonade. And at least this lemonade is tasty.

    He's since said he thought he was going to lose. So, in other words, he thought he was lying when he said that.

    Trump: "I'm going to win Ohio, PA etc.!"
