Obtuse
Lacking common sense
Incapable of looking at information and forming their own opinion based on those facts
Thick skulled

I don't mind you saying all of these things about me. They have been said about WT before.

But, to be fair and honest, when speaking of me, you should add the disclaimer: "But he has a HUGE DICK!"....as you well know.

That they're obtuse as a motherfucker and no amount of facts, statistics, history, civics, reason, logic, or common sense can penetrate their skulls enough to see the forest for the trees, and any such efforts to present them is an exercise in futility and a waste of time?

Yeah, you're right.

Obtuse?

100% with K in this one. And he speaks the troof. His temperament in any "debate" has done more of a 180 recently than Trump on the issues. He's absolutely right in saying the torch has been passed to the new King of "Agree with me or you're a moron". Even our resident racist has pretty much kept his collective cool in the face of being hit with a barrage of personal insults.

Look, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who can politically find more common ground with Rightwing Redneck McDipshit and Hippy Dippy Lefty McPussy. I'm a centrist and a Libertarian. Many issues, such as abortion, climate change, the death penalty, war...really just about anything...I see as more nuanced than most people's stark black and white, especially in these message boards. I don't have strong personal stances on any of those things, because frankly I think both sides have reasoned legitimate arguments. I may come down more on one side than the other on them at the end of the day, but I don't think anyone is an idiot or monster or uninformed if they take the opposite opinion. I at least try to understand the opposition's argument, which is more than most of you can say, for sure.

Like Louis said in his email, this isn't about simple disagreement on the issues. This is watching Lennie from Of Mice & Men drool & shit on himself and having people tell me he'd be a great leader of the free world, and is really a genius, he just is keeping it close to the vest. People are telling me that his business acumen means he'd know how to run the country, yet I know that Trump Casinos & Entertainment Resorts, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice Bottled Water, Trump Airlines, Trump: The Game, Trump Magazine, GoTrump.com, Trump Mortgage, The New Jersey Generals, and Trump University were all ABJECT FAILURES. (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/12-donald-trump-businesses-that-no-longer-exist-204923129.html) I know that if he had done NOTHING with his inheritance but invest in the stock market, he would have been worth $10 Billion MORE than he is now. (http://www.moneytalksnews.com/why-youre-probably-better-investing-than-donald-trump/)

I'm having to site my sources, which I know you'll ignore, because you think I'm making this shit up. Or the libruhl scurred media is. These are documented, incontrovertible FACTS, and you're telling me it's all some fabricated slander to take the hero down.

You're also telling me you'll still vote for him because he'll have an R after his name, even though every prominent person in power who PUTS that R behind his name has loudly, vehemently stated that you shouldn't. And yet some of you make THEM the villain for pointing out the litany of contradictions, wild flip-flopping back and forth and back again, and just flat out un-American, unconstitutional, and/or leftist authoritarian positions he's taken OR STILL TAKES. And you don't care, because you're letting the R behind his name blind you and think for you.

And back to the whole "Lenny from Of Mice and Men" thing. HE is very clearly stupid. HE very clearly doesn't know a goddamn thing he's talking about any time he's up on stage. He can't lay out any specifics about anything, because he is dumber than a bag of rocks. All he can say up there is "lines around the states", call people pussies, say they got schlonged, make poop & pee jokes, say Megyn Kelly's bleeding out of her "wherever", saying he'd bomb the shit out of ISIS, talk about how big his dick is, and on and on and on. Oh and keep the brown people out. Unless he doesn't. Or maybe he does. But now he doesn't...whoops now he does.

And all of the above is stupid. It is ignorant. Only stupid people fall for obvious cons. There is no other way to say it. I'm sorry.

I thought K was clear that the reason he would vote for him is that he doesn't have a "Clinton" in his name, regardless of an R or a D.

Don't you see, though, that this willingness to take risk, to do something as goofy as Trump Iced Bottled Water, is what builds America?

We don't want people who play it safe and sit on the sidelines. We want people who are willing to put their junk on the trunk and see if they can make it work. I've got more respect for somebody who tries and fails than somebody who takes no gambles at all.

It's easy to say stuff like that in hindsight. I can look back now and see how much more money I would have had if I had bought that Apple stock I almost bought in 1996. Instead I put that money into more inventory for my store where I made a small profit.

But what if Trump Ice Sno-Cone Tepees had taken off like the projections (on paper) suggested it might? What if that had blown up into a national brand and he sold it to TGIFriday for $15 katrillion? You don't know until you try.

Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. When you win, you don't sit on it you try to win more. When you lose, you pick yourself up and get right back into the game. It's the American entrepreneurial spirit. He's clearly done more right than wrong or his net worth wouldn't have grown.

I know what Donald Trump is. I'm not expecting him to be Reagan. Fact of the matter is I don't trust any of them. Hillary is a lying, power-mad bitch with a heart of black glass and no conscience. Bernie Sanders is a delusional socialist, a relic from the hippie era who probably wears tie-dyed t-shirts and birkenstocks at home. Rubio is a wet-behind-the-ears gasbag who is less interested in actually doing the work of governing as he is climbing the ladder. Cruz is a smarmy sanctimonious pudge who in his heart of hearts believes he's morally and ethically superior to his opposition, yes, but to you as well. I would not choose any of them, Trump included, if I were leading the presidential search firm. Kasich -- after seeing him twice in debates -- is probably the best equipped of all to govern, but people won't vote for him 1) because the media essentially ignores him and unless you watch the debates you have no idea who he is and 2) He always looks like he just woke up from a long nap.

But that's what we have.

I know exactly who Trump is. And if it comes down to him or Hillary? There's no hesitation for me at all. There is noting you could ever say or do to make me vote for her.

Well, he didn't provide a link.

But. But. he's not conservative enough.

He likes money. I like money. He wants America to make money. For America to make money, we have to shut down one of the teets, lower the corporate tax rate and make America the place everyone wants to do business.

he has ideas about how to do this. For the things he cannot figure out, he'll hire people who can.

I'm willing to give him 4 years to put America on the road to economic recovery. If he does not, then we are no worse off than what we have now.

Now put Cruz or Rubio in the same position. Do any of us think they have clue how to get things done? There really is no track record of success there. I like Cruz, but the people are tired of anything that has been associated with government already.

It's time to shake it up. And there is NOTHING you can claim that will be the truth in how he will govern. There is nothing to go on. Just speculation.
We know what the rest have done. And it has not been much of anything good.
