Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

1. It means she cheated
2. It means she cheated
3. It means she cheated
Cheating? Is it in the debate rules or something? I haven't been able to find anything supporting that. I guess it would bother me a little if she used one against agreed upon rules.
25. SHe is busy touting herself as the one who has the experience which makes her more qualified due to her familiarity with the issues. If she used an earpiece to be prompted and he didn't that arguement is undermined.
The general expectation of a leader is that he surrounds himself with expert advisors and is capable of critical analysis and of making informed decisions which are at the end of the day his own.  He therefore takes responsibility for his decisions.  A leader who is the pupet of others and a leader in name only is derided and disrespected. He also bears no responsibility and so there is no accountibility.
Meh. This is all pretty weak. HRC has no redeeming qualities, but I don't view this as a significant flaw relative to just about any of the many real and significant issues with her as a candidate.

The irony is that Trump supporters have been saying that the answer to his inexperience is that he'll 'hire the right people', etc. So I agree that viewing HRC's alleged use of an earpiece as reliance on her 'people' is somewhat of a negation of the experience line of attack on Trump - but then it also can't be disqualifying for HRC.

Bottom line, don't get distracted by nonsense. That goes for both parties in both directions.

Not really. I mean in the scheme of things. Maybe I'm not thinking it through. Can you elaborate on why it bothers you?
I want her answers not some talking heads answer. It would be the kiss of death if she was being feed the answers.

Interesting Emerson poll yesterday showing H up by only 4% in NJ and 3% in RI. Also it seems the polls have flipped with CNN showing Trump ahead and LAT and RAS showing Hillary ahead.

There is a fundamental difference between hiring the right people and a puppet.  That was clear from my post.  It's true she has few if any redeeming qualities to be a leader, but the earpiece takes her out of the definition of leader and makes her a puppet.

Fundamental difference? Sure. But you haven't explained why an earpiece makes her a puppet. You've just repeated your claim.

Sorry, I thought that was obvious.  If she can't think for herself to the point where she needs an earpiece to answer questions from a reporter, that makes her a puppet.

On the one hand I am afraid of the prospect of having Trump as president. On the other hand I get so much pleasure from seeing Liberals and Leftists panic. I think just seeing the shocked look on their faces at a Trump victory might make this all worth it.

Meanwhile Assange has more stuff to leak on Hillary... boy oh boy.

The weird thing is, that while all the polls show Trump gaining the past week. The 1 poll that always had Trump leading (or tie) now has Hillary +2.

i didnt read through all the posts here regarding the earpiece so I may be repeating what others have said
 but ill say theres no chance she was wearing a secret earpiece
 in such a public place in such a public forum!!
 if she needed a secret microphone thing she should have hidden it in her shaitel or something. we all know how good she is at hiding things (or attempting to at least) in the past she could have wired up some better idea that feeds her answers instead of putting it right on her ear for everyone to see! i dont know thats what i think.
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

It took that for you to figure that out?
I had thought his only hope is for both candidates have a major health break down prior to the election. Not anymore.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Done as in won't win? In that case he is still frozen not anywhere near done. Done as in won't have any effect on the election? Then who will Bill Kristol vote for?

Yeah he's done
Because he didn't know what Aleppo was? Ask 100 people on the street about Aleppo and see the response you get.
