I actually mustered up some respect for Cruz when he dissed Trump.
Same here, and deep down I am glad he has shown his true spineless colors because respecting him made me feel nauseous.

It's about our life experiences that each of us have had ... the things that shape who we are and how we see things.
Agreed Cragman.
And the way your life experiences have taught you to see me, and my different experiences is
And I think you're full of sh#t. And
Some of them (humans) really help me understand why some animals eat their young.
And the way you see Kaepernick, and his different experiences is
Kaepernick is a jackass along with the rest of the kneelers. I hope they lose every game ... and his career continues to go down the shitter.
Obama, and his different experiences?
Obama is a little girl who soiled his panties.
While telling everyone else
All of you should waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Hear, hear! Let's start with ourselves.
I am a Christian.
We can say that we're Christian (or not) as much as we want. But we don't say who's Christian, and who's not. God will decide that.

In the first presidential debate, Donald Trump treated us to the spectacle of a man too lazy, undisciplined, and over-confident to bother preparing for an important moment.
So ahead of the second debate, Trump’s team is trying to get him to take it more seriously. For instance, Thursday night in New Hampshire they had Trump do an event in the town hall format rather than his usual rallies.
And it seems like it was a total disaster.
Well, nobody should be surprised.

I'm really looking forward to Sunday's Trump meltdown too.

I'm sure Trump will do fine at Sunday's forum. He's got that voter empathy thing down pat:

Trump won't win. He doesn't want to. Just enjoys running.
Nope.
Get ready for 8 years of Hillary Clinton.
Then 8 years of Michelle Obama
Then 8 years of Chelsea Clinton

Trump Caught on Tape:
A decade before Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president, his candid views on women were caught on tape.
"I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it's like a magnet," Trump said in 2005 during a conversation with Billy Bush caught on audio during the taping of an interview for Access Hollywood. "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab 'em by the pussy."

Hmmmm
I wonder what the percentage difference
is between conservative free loaders and liberal free loaders?
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/07/12/the-politics-and-demographics-of-food-stamp-recipients/
Gives figures on what percent of various groups have received food stamps (by far the biggest part of what could be considered "welfare") at some point.
But doesn't break down the % of the total that goes to each group.
Interesting tidbit: 17% of conservatives, moderates, and liberals have at some point received food stamps.
So it looks like the answer to Cosmic's question is zero!

The typical red state voter lives off off Social Security disability checks in a trailer park. He listens to Rush Limbaugh on the radio complain about freeloaders while driving his pickup to the county seat to pick up his county relief check.

I don't know, Chris. I see Clinton as a one term president, but I agree that Michelle will run in the next opportunity. As far as Chelsea running, I don't see it.

It always amazes me that conservatives complain about entitlements, but will gladly accept them.

I think the current numbers are 80 and 19, but I like the trend.

How can this not tank him?

His comments about women are deplorable--he's deplorable.
But at this point I think his misogyny is already baked into people's opinions about him, pro and con. It might harden the view of his haters, though.

What's really messed up is 43% of Americans still would vote for Trump. After all the horrible things he has said.
This election has really exposed how deeply set the biases of so many people are. No matter how bad the Republican nominee is they will still vote for him.
I have respect for those on the right that have come out against Trump. It shows they have some principles. Of course the rapid Trump supporters will say they are RINOs, because they think they get to dictate what Republicans should stand for.
