This may well be the most astute observation of the election yet

Yeah, at least with Hillary it will just be "business as usual" in Washington. With Trump, who the hell knows what'll happen from one day to the next?

So? Don't you think its past time to do something thats kinda crazy, but not really? I'd like Trump to do exactly what he says he will do. Its well past time to give a big FU to a bunch of people and countries.
.

So, everything, and nothing? The guy flip flops more than a freshly caught fish. The only the consistent thing about him is his inconsistency.

If you're getting behind the Donald because you think he's going to "do something" about dem dirty Arabs, then prepare yourself for disappointment.

Well, at least he hasn't ever knowingly given military arms to Al Queda, like Hillary has.

Remember when we were attacking Libya? In order to support that (despite vowing never to enter into an armed conflict with a country that wasn't a direct threat to us) Clinton signed off on supplying arms to rebel groups. However, intelligence reports confirmed that over half of those groups were controlled by Al Queda. Clinton knew about it long before sending weapons.

While I'm not disputing that we armed at least some rebels in Syria that probably turned out to have links to Al Qaeda, or that it was sort of a bad idea to do so, or that what happened was actually a really likely outcome, laying that one at Hillary Clinton's feet seems a bit unreasonable since those decisions would have occurred a bit beyond her pay grade.

He said Libya, not Syria. Syria is a completely different tar pit and staying out of it may be the best foreign policy decision this administration has made.

Whoops, sure misread that one somehow.

He hasn't said that he would do anything, without also saying that he is going to do the opposite thing.

And I will mostlikely get the ban hammer for this, but I believe Islam should be destroyed, root and branch.

Well, that makes it clearer why you like Trump then.

I was in the fighting in Afghanistan.

I certainly don't need MR Trump to dislike Islam. I saw it up close what they were about. Evil walks the earth, friend. And its name is Islam.

Spoiler:

And that means we have to not only question the world as it is, and stand up for those African Americans who haven’t been so lucky — because, yes, you’ve worked hard, but you’ve also been lucky. That’s a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don’t realize they’ve been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasn’t nothing you did. So don’t have an attitude.

Imma say this with feelings...
"FETH.YOU.MR PRESIDENT."

From now on, I won't recognize the hard work that *you* achieved... "you got lucky bro".

I know it's like pissing in a volcano, and nothing is ever going to get rid of your hate-boner for the man, but your capacity to willingly ignore half of your own quote and crank down your intelligence to make something be something you want it to be is always amazing.

Two weekends ago I provided first aid to thousands of people running the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Marathon.

Evil walked the earth where I stood to provide that aid, and I know better than to claim that Evil's name is "while christian United States veteran".

Evil's name is Evil, and it comes in many shapes in colors.

Go to the VA, use your benefits, talk to a psychiatrist, get the help you need. Don't let your experience ruin the world for you.

Try trolling someone else, friend.

I own and stand by my comments. If Trump stops muslims coming to the united states, I'm all for the man. And to be clear, I don't trust ANY of these greasy scumbags that would be president of this land.But Trumps got to be better than hillary. IMHO shes the death of this country. She gets in(and I believe she will), and it will be something to see.

I have a very nice RedJacket AK74 and 3,000+ rounds of 5.45x39. All I have to get is a pistol for my wife(she just got her cc permit). She wants a SIG, but I'm just a humble teacher. She may get a GLOCK.

Troll away, friend. Troll away.

I put down 13 of those dogs in 2008. I wish there was a zero after the 13.

And when he's done, maybe he can finally get rid of all those damn dirty Irish.

The problem with responding to you is it's going to be totally confusing to follow the conversation once Motyak or whoever deletes all your posts. I mean, I sort of want to? But no one will have any idea what I'm talking about in 2 hours.

We will always have the memories to keep us warm at night.

I honestly wish some other vets here on dakka would tell you guys what these muslims are really like. mean to say, look at some of the utube vids on these scum flooding europe.

At least poland and hungery seem to have pulled their heads out of their asses.

Let's please steer back to the issue of politics and away from wartime impressions of enemy combatants. Thanks!

If he had no plans for Syria, it would have been best if Obama hadn't shot his mouth off about red lines.

SNL managed to sum up the GOP primary pretty well:

Rule Number Two = Stay On Topic

This applies even in the OT and even in a politics thread.

Let's try a fresh start ...
