Can someone explain to me why a random person off the street with maybe a college degree and no glaringly obvious personality disorders wouldn't be a more qualified candidate for president than Trump?

Why do you not ask the same of Clinton? She has proven herself wildly unqualified. Yes, Trump is an unknown, but I do know that he hasn't mishandled classified information. I also know that he never, in an attempt to avoid Inspector General oversight, endangered state secrets with a private server. I also suspect that any illegal or dangerous actions on Trump's part would be met with consequences by the press, the Congress, the FBI, the DOJ, etc.Quote:

I would vote for Biden over Trump and Hillary.
This is usually so.Quote:

lol I agree with that voicemail.
He's goofy, but he's been a pretty good governor and senator. Not exactly Jim Webb, but pretty good nonetheless.Quote:

Was Kaine in Galaxy Quest??
Obama is pitching some good woo!
Tim Kaine is Teller from penn and teller!
But I mean he had glaringly obvious mental illness. NPD at the very least ASPD also likely. For the purposes of making decisions he's like... Actually retarded. Like emotionally retarded. Not like he makes some decisions you don't agree with, but like he's genuinely bizarre and dangerous. I don't understand how people can not get that.Quote:

I guess we better knock the white house down because it was built by slaves.
Might want to just knock everything down and we all go back to our ancestorly homes and just start over imo.
Do people not know the world is covered in land and buildings that horrible things have happenned in? Almost every us town has had slaves. And rape. Almost every house over 50 years old has had dead people in it.
I'm inclined to agree. Shall we go down the checklist?Quote:

They claim Donald Trump lacks the “temperament” of a president. Yet they would nominate a candidate who lacks basic probity? Every time her character is put to the test, Hillary fails the test. This time she failed it on the world stage: at home, in hell holes such as Libya and Syria, and in compromising our intelligence to “hostile actors.” The Democrats would settle for a crook as their nominee over a candidate of questionable temperament.
You wanna hate on Hillary that's fine but get out of here with this shit.Quote:
When Great Britain’s Boris Johnson was forced out of the running to replace David Cameron as prime minister by an act of the utmost treachery, the civilized minority on both sides of the Atlantic knew that we had only one candidate left to deliver us amusement and a dramatic shift to good government, Donald Trump. He is entertaining, good natured, and possessed of sound ideas to break the logjam in Washington.
I'm pretty sure you huff paintQuote:

I know Trump wouldn't be able to get much of anything done in his four years but I really want a big "fuck you" from the country to the scumbags who legit support the douchebag. It's unlikely, but I'd like to hope that maybe they'd crawl back under their bridges and return to extorting fees from would-be crossers.
Like the cops?
Yes. Like the cops.
Well if you get around to clicking that link let's talk about it. I know Keith Olbermann has a smug, punchable face, but it's a pretty fair treatmentQuote:

The only way environmental issues get solved is if someone can strong arm India and China. Considering Hillary is already on the latter's pay roll, good luck with that.
Wah wah, china and India shits on their own floors, why can't we shit on our floors.
It's all one floor...
"The world is fucked anyway" is not really a useful answer.
Although I do think the way forward is more about researching and promoting green tech rather than regulation.
Carrots typically work better than crops. Tax breaks (but not retarded government loans or subsidies) would go a long way.

Good point, but it's not far off from this. http://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/
This is a terrible speech.
It is pretty bad, but at least its not WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE like we got last week
I'm not comparing them, just commenting.
The amount of heckling from Bernie supporters is unreal.
Not really sure how it was a terrible speech.
It improved as it went.
Tim Kaine looks so happy playing with the balloons.
Hey, at least Hillary actually talked about her policies, unlike Trump.
Seriously? Would you say the same thing for CBS, MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post, etc.? It's public record.Quote:

I can't believe whoever made that thought spending 13 1/2 minutes on his announcement speech was a good idea. That was not a good speech, and he talks about no one needing rhetoric while slinging rhetoric. How does Peter Thiel support this?
What are Hilary's policies that are good? I didn't listen to the speech.
20% tax cut for US banks in business over 30 years.
1461 day waiting period for opening new banks.
Federal Insurance for any losses accrued thru investments by established banks up to $500 billion per bank.
15% of shipping costs from China businesses to be reimbursed by FTC.
I think corporate tax cuts should be made but it is so counterintuitive for the modern Democratic Party.
For small and medium business? Sure. The top 2 corporations in any industry should be taxed at 40% with no deductions.
No, all businesses. It's too easy to dodge and the money can get taxed when it moves to shareholders or is reinvested elsewhere. Like if I have $100 of profit I spend it on salaries it gets taxed, I buy a new warehouse I get taxed, I pay a dividend it gets taxed, or I can leave it in a bank account in Ireland and nobody gets paid a salary, nobody gets a dividend, and the government gets no tax.
Am I interpreting that wrong, or is that just automatic and potentially repeated bail outs?Quote:

Donald Trump with our Electoral College can with the Florida and the Potate state and cali and it's a done deal. I'm thinking it's too early for people to accept a woman president.
The Potate state is always fucking us.
You know what is worse than SJWs? Old and young autistic conservative/libertarian reactions to themQuote:

I feel like the people making those kinds of videos don't actually know what is wrong with SJWs. Like the old woman in the story, she didn't understand that the previous conversation was about fraud, not minorities and racism. It isn't that SJWs are completely wrong. It is a lot of "how" and the shallowness of their thoughts. But video maker guy, and people like him don't really see that, and the next thing you know, I'm watching a video comparing SJWs to ISIS. When you really get down to it, they are just bundling all the people they hate into a big ball. The liberals, sjws, minorities, Muslims, terrorists.
Its just kind of stupid, man.
Good on them for using Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 at the end That or Short Circuit 2 "Dying"
It was a self-indulgent video that took way too long to make the joke SJWs rally for the freedom to chose gender identity, at the same time denying someone their religious identity.
Oh, was that the point? It was difficult to see anything past the overt demonetization of the opposing side
kind of sad that a comic about a six year old perfectly captures Trump

Potatoe state 4 in Republicans we stand, and Florida is full of like 29 votes and shenanigans that's mashed potatoes but forien policy, immigration, deficit, gender rights, education, tax cuts for Mom and Pop stores, Net neutrality , create American jobs, gun control, climate control.

I told her, in New York, my vote for president is irrelevant statistically. To that, she reiterated what she had said and ignored my response. I told her that she is speaking talking points at me, and she looked at me as if not knowing what that meant, then said it again.
After 5 minutes of silence, she decided she had to again speak up, tell me I was being petty and wasn't thinking for the big picture, the end game. I told her "What is your end game here? Are you here to try and convince me to switch my vote by aggressively yelling at me in front of my friends? Do you think you are really doing anything but galvanizing me against your cause?" She replied with a vapid "No I'm just speaking the truth". I said "You sound like a republican."
I have never seen a person so insulted, but at the same time so unable to complete a retort. It was as if I pulled a Michael Richards. She just looked at me horrified and left the bar.
The extremes on both sides are getting worse and worse.
It's too bad that neither side is trying anymore for job creation or environment protection. I guess when we're all cooking to death 10 20 years from now, we can console ourselves with how much we shrunk the government, or fighting terrorists, or identity politics.
It makes you wonder if the ruling elite are in a doomsday cult. Like global warming is Cobra Commander's longest plot.
Well, yes, they ARE in fact mostly Christian, or at least claim to be.
