Has there ever been anyone running for president with less substance?

You don't really need to look too far--just four years ago, Michelle Bachmann was the leader of the GOP dog pack, riding around on that merry-go-round trying to snag the gold ring.

The only problem was that she actually did seem brighter than some of the others!

Another fine example of left-wing intolerance and ignorance.

Keep the faith, brutha.

EdwardT didn't know about Nortons condition, and he apologized for it. Leave the guy alone.

Ironic, though, that his own Party is nominating a guy who mocks handicapped people outright, with no apology ever.

Doesn't that make you think, EdwardT ?

Ok...so you come off as a Trump supporter, regardless....

Doesn't that strike you as ironic?

oh yes, you may well not be officially registered as a Dem or Repub

but the fact is that I have never seen you post favorably about the President or Hillary
nor I have seen you post negatively about the Republicans

you are an INO - an Independent is Name Only - but you vote Republican

and not because you can actually defend voting Republican but only because you
will not vote Democratic, for reasons that you have never really articulated
just vague references to "libtards" and crap like that

no, you ain't a "real" independent, someone who without bias votes for both parties

Trump is trying to use the Orlando massacre for political gain.

In an incoherent speech (delivered from teleprompters, no less) he ranted and raved about the power he will have, if elected, to unilaterally change immigration laws and procedures in the United States.

Apparently, he thinks that being President of the United States is like being the president of a privately-held corporation, and that he would have absolute power over the entire organization (the nation).

http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Trump-s-post-Orlando-call-to-defeat-ISIS-8110528.php

NostraThomas predicts:

Trump will find a way to weasel his campaign loan money back to himself, and then abandon the race altogether right before the convention.

When it becomes apparent, even to him, that he has no chance, he will just stomp off in a huff.

Then, Cruz and Rubio and Kasich will furiously scramble to obtain the support of delegates. There will be a veritable graft auction on the convention floor, right out in public, with Cruz offering the most quid pro quo to anybody who will support him.

Then, Hillary wins in the general election.

EDIT:

DIDIUS JULIANUS

After the murder of Pertinax (28 March 193), the Praetorian assassins announced that the throne was to be sold to the man who would pay the highest price.[17] Titus Flavius Claudius Sulpicianus, prefect of the city, father-in-law of the murdered emperor, being at that moment in the camp to which he had been sent to calm the troops, began making offers,[18] whereupon Julianus, having been roused from a banquet by his wife and daughter,[19] arrived in all haste, and being unable to gain admission, stood before the gate, and with a loud voice competed for the prize.[20]

As the bidding went on, the soldiers reported to each of the two competitors, the one within the fortifications, the other outside the rampart, the sum offered by his rival. Eventually Sulpicianus promised 20,000 sesterces to every soldier; Julianus, fearing that Sulpicianus would gain the throne, then offered 25,000.[21] The guards immediately closed with the offer of Julianus, threw open the gates, saluted him by the name of Caesar, and proclaimed him emperor.[22] Threatened by the military, the Senate declared him emperor.[23] His wife and his daughter both received the title Augusta.

In ancient Rome, the soldiers decided who would be emperor.

Today, big business, like the Koch brothers, call the shots.

You stoopid American politards have been brainwashed into thinking that a smoking duck is your Oracle of Delphi. Werner von Braun was the best prize from World War Two, but now he is a crustancient (crabby and old) legend of the Rockcraft.

So, I guess, you don't need health insurance or social security benefits.

Good for you, Ed!

That makes no sense.

As far as me being a Republican or Trump supporter, you guys have selective tunnel vision. Today, in this thread, Dirtbag commented that Trumps primary success wont carry over to the general election. I responded with "I'd like to think so."

Does that sound like a Trump supporter?

A few weeks ago, I posted

Does that sound like a Trump supporter?

About the ACA, I posted " Maybe Hillary will take it on as President. Maybe she's got enough dirt on Republicans to get a better program passed."

Does that sound like a Trump supporter?

This morning, I gave my two cents on gun control. Definitely not a GOP position. Norton accused me of hypocrisy. Swing and a miss for my favorite troll.

From last year.

I saw the following at Change.Org.

If she makes this part of her platform and walks her talk (refuses 527 and dark money support), I'll vote for her.

I might even campaign for her.

I challenge anyone to show where I said I'd vote for Trump.

This boils down to me not being a foaming-at-the-mouth Trump hater. I don't echo the echo chamber mentality that dominates this thread. Therefore, I must be a Trump supporter.

Where I do defend Trump... it's because you guys are obviously full of sh*t in your attack du jour.

Apogee - Where you think Norton "nails it", keep in mind he's lying.
