    Perhaps some of you will actually leave this once great country if The Don Gets the nomination and Wins like some celebrities have said they would... boy if it were that simple to get rid of Libbies:)

    You still have yet to offer an argument of substance. I have no problems with conservatives that are thoughtful. You have yet to qualify.
    I have given up arguing on here a long time ago Pal. I am just a sniper now who chimes in here and there. Some people call it trolling since I always seem to support the wrong team in these very entertaining circle jerk sessions.
    I can't recall anyone here ever referring to you posts as trolling. You stand your ground and that's cool. But the way you word your post here, calling these threads circle jerks, is unfair. The vast majority of us here simply speak our own minds. One or two here maybe play games with our heads... but only if we let them.
    Good point, I have always been a bit rough around the edges and is a flaw of mine .

    No worries, we all have flaws (I know I do!). And as they say, "Perfect doesn't exist and normal is boring".

    I had to look up Joe Arpaio, never heard of him. And yikes, is this an endorsement anyone would want?

    So this was the first thing that came up

    Joseph Michael "Joe" Arpaio (born June 14, 1932) has, since 1993, been the elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona.

    Arpaio styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff." He has been accused of abuse of power, misuse of funds, failure to investigate sex crimes, improper clearance of cases, unlawful enforcement of immigration laws, and election law violations, amongst others. He has been found guilty of racial profiling in federal court, with a monitor appointed to oversee his office's operations. His jails have twice been ruled unconstitutional. The U.S. Department of Justice concluded that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history, and subsequently filed suit against him for unlawful discriminatory police conduct. As of September 2015, cases involving Arpaio or his office have cost Maricopa County taxpayers $142 million in legal expenses, settlements and court awards

    The president of the Corrections Officers Union? Really? That's powerful stuff. The dominoes are really falling now. Joe Apraio, Fallwell, Sarah Palin. Wow. This is a joke, right? You must be spamming.

    So you employ same strategy as Trump. Offensive sound bites with no substance.

    You have to hand it to the guy when he is one of the few if any persons that has successfully taken on Fox News. He is making Roger Ailes look like an amateur. I don't think that is luck. Say what you will about his politics but he is by the front runner in the field and makes it look simple.

    I think you mean he makes America look simple.

    That's because he's not a politician. This isn't his profession and while his ego wants to win it really doesn't matter career wise if he doesn't. He can act abrasive and ignorant and in doing so he appeals to the abrasive and ignorant voters. The way he is behaving would be political suicide for a politician. But as billionaire he will continue to offend people and act as some savior to the uneducated masses until the runaway train comes to a halt.

    I'm not a Trump supporter, but since when did the public servant position of "politician" become a profession? That's kind of fucked up in itself.

    (and I think ego plays a part in most running for office)

    So you mean like the Cornell data that I provided you that completely refuted your assertion about the education level of Obama assertions. That type of shit?

    Mrussel,Don't you think ones financial standing and job status have more relevance?
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,838
    I have always found it interesting that some liberals show such disdain for people that support Donald Trump. Using words like ignorant, abrasive, uneducated (these are the nice terms used). I would think that liberals would be kinder to these people because they don't have access to education and thus apparently cannot determine who is a good candidate and a bad candidate. This is the bread and butter for who liberals fight for: the poor person who doesn't get the proper education. Instead though, that person is ridiculed.

    It is the same way that some liberals make fun of people that shop at Wal-Mart. They profess to be for the common man/woman. Guess what? The common man/woman shops at Wal-Mart.

    There's certainly an argument for income, for sure. I would not dispute that. Sex seems to have been just as predictive with Obama winning the woman vote 55-45 and Romney, the opposite. My irritation is that Muskydan made a statement about the education level of Obama voters, which isn't supported by the data.

    I think we show disdain for Trump, but are perplexed by people who support Trump. Regarding the Wal-mart statement, I'm not sure where this comes from. Who makes fun of Wal Mart shoppers? I don't shop there myself, but mostly because I don't shop. I do go to Sam's Club. Does that count?

    I find that just as many conservatives use similar language when talking about liberals. it goes both ways.

    what I presented was simple fact based on survey results, not insulting. technically speaking, I'm uneducated. beyond high school, I have one year of university and one diploma from a speedy college. but I have chosen to educate myself, mostly through this forum. But I'm still uneducated, and I don't take that as an insult. same goes for ignorant. ignorant doesn't mean stupid, it simply implies "doesn't know the facts".

    Republicans are already painted as having a brand that does not care about the poor and uneducated. Liberals do not get painted in that light but they only care so much until politically it doesn't help them.

    I'm not arguing that uneducated isn't untrue or anything. That is why I said those are the nice terms. There are plenty of instances on this board where there is clear disdain for Trump and people who support Trump (even though most people point to them supporting Trump because of lack of education which would not be their fault per se).

    true, but republicans often insult liberals as being "sheep" and "being fed the kool aid", "hopey changey wimps", in other words, also being stupid. not to mention "unamerican", "traitor", etc. I can go on.
