What's wrong with Scalia? I genuinely don't know.

He's an old racist homophobe. Scalia once said black students would benefit not going to top schools because they aren't able to mentally keep up.

What were Trump's people thinking? That's an awful nominee.

They were probably thinking that their whole candidacy supports the theory that a major segment of the GOP base only votes for them because they're racists and that they loved Scalia and love Trump for their racist and anti intellectual ways.

Oh man Trump's campaign manager is not helping...

When asked about Trump wanting to throw Hillary in jail: "Donald Trump's was just channeling the frustrations of the American people".

The **** was that bs??

A relative from another country asked me if Donald Trump becomes President... is he really going to put his political opponent in jail? Yup, we are at this point in America ppl.

I kind of hope Trump does start up his own alt-right TV show/media network after he loses the election

It would be gratifying to witness him further marginalize himself and his base as he drifts out to sea with a rapidly shrinking demographic that shakes its tiny fists at the sky

That's exactly why I think he's doubling down on his rhetoric instead of trying to attract more moderates. He's not thinking about winning this election; he's thinking about his future audience for his network. Gotta lock up that 40%.

Last night's debate was pretty disturbing.

Clinton was better, but it was not the same as the first one. This time Trump really went for the gutter hard and it was tough to handle that much bile even for a pro like her. She nailed him well a few times, but it was also like watching a comedy show where you see the set-up and too many times they didn't go for the obvious punchline.

But I can understand she missed some obvious rebuttals since that MF'er was so intensely abusive it would probably rattle anyone. He was literally standing over her at some points which I found really offensive.

Anyway, not a great night for anyone, but certainly not good for him especially since he didn't win anyone over and she didn't do anything dumb like him.

But man that guy is a loose cannon. What a wacko

Funny how a lot of Trump supporters like him because he isn't a corrupt pol ( a good thing) but the guy made his money in back in the day NY as the son of a rich guy, which was a pretty rife environment of old boy corruption and back room deals.


It is not really possible to say he is not a corrupt politician when he has been busted bribing politicians.

And he has broken the law many times more than any politician I'm aware of.



Well, that is my point. He's running on not being the corrupt consummate insider, yet it was a form of both of those things that got him where he is today. Well, those things and basically gleaning that America is a cult of personality, so he created a persona and then milked it for cash. The reality TV craze came along at about just the right time for him as well.

Sure, he is the offspring of graft and corruption and he took it to a new level. Seeing his supporters moan about corrupt politicians and the Clintons is comedy gold. Trump is the dirtiest dealing human being I've ever seen in the form of a businessman. His whole business M.O. is to rip people off. You explain the well-documented history of his deceits to his followers and they blithely go on about how he is a good businessman. He's nuts and so are they.

Because most law and order conservatives LOVED Scalia.

Are you dense?

She was assigned the case by a judge.

The judge has gone on the record that she asked him not to assign the case to her, but he said she had to take it.

Rumor has it that some video of Trump saying the N word during production of The Apprentice is going to crop up soon. They are waiting for the right time to release it...

It will cost $5M to pay for the contractual penalty incurred by violating the clauses on the show, but I suspect some people will raise the money to pay for it and it will be released

I honestly think she didn't want to put him in the ground. Finishing him isn't in her best interest. Having him on the ticket the remainder of the race is. Especially since we all know more tapes are coming out.

Clinton's only objective last night was to do no harm. I think she accomplished that. The state of play is totally in her favor. No need to shake up the board too much.
