    I didn't call you a spineless lemming. I said a person who would not break said pledge when circumstances change is a spineless lemming. Are RadCons hypersensitive or unfamiliar with the general 'royal you'?

    Since we are talking Nazis now, do you look down upon Oskar Schindler for violating his oath to follow the Nazi party platform?
    you'd have to ask a conservative. i dont have a conservative bone in my body. i just find radlibs much more intolerable than conservatives.

    i dont care about schindler at all....
    Well there's probably no one here that would call me a radical liberal. I threw down with the Bernie people for months. But your argument that pledges sustain regardless of circumstance is inane.

    If I made a pledge to love my wife in good times or bad, which I did, but came home early from a conference at the Marriott and she was engaged in a gang bang, then I get to break my pledge. Or if she abused my kids. Or lots of other unforgivable things.

    Lying about and disparaging my family is an example of the unforgivable in politics.

    Can we circle back to the gang bang for a moment...

    fair enough. i actually tend to agree with your point of view pretty often. you are not a radlib, my apologies for lumping you in...

    i'd be pissed if my babe was getting gang banged too. fuck that pledge.

    i still think Lyin' Ted sold out.

    I'm just wondering who in the hell the "radlibs" are here?? I suspect a couple of you might think I am, but I most certainly am not. I am pretty left in most (not all) of my views for sure, but I'm not radical in my views at all. I voted Liberal in the last Canadian election for crying out loud. What does it take to be a "radlib" and who is one in the AMT? To me that would be people who participate in eco-terrorism and stuff like that.

    Still, some polls suggest Donald Trump is the least popular major party candidate in history. His negatives, a measure of those who approve and disapprove of him personally, are unprecedented. His campaign then, has one ugly chance. If he can make people hate Hillary Clinton more than they fear him, he might just win.

    But Palin's speech was her high point. Nobody new her before so she could only go downhill. Everybody knows Trump and the expectations are low.

    i think its time to admit we all, myself included, underestimated the man.

    I wish I had been wrong. By last December, before any primary, I had predicted it would come down in the end to Trump v. Clinton. None of my friends believed me, but I totally called it. I wish I had put money on it!!

    Actually, it's "the royal we." There is no "royal you." "You" is a dangerous pronoun because it is almost invariably interpreted as a direct address, and we should be careful to avoid it unless we are in fact talking directly to our reader. Not trying to be a grammar Nazi -- or any kind of Nazi -- just letting *you* know that if *you* want to avoid being misinterpreted, avoid "you" when referring to people in general.

    I actually said I hoped Trump would win so that none of the pathetic Republican nominees had a chance of actually becoming POTUS, but in didn't really think my hopes would come to fruition because I underet9mated Job's capacity to bore the country to death. But so far so good I guess, although I don't recall factoring in the amount of hate for Hillary coming from the left (some of which I find extremely overwrought), to the point where the left might split the vote and let Trump win anyhow.

    Disagree, at least in general context. I could have replaced it with "one" if writing formally. But if it has urban dictionary entry, it's real in my book. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Royal you

    Yes, I know it can be annoying, but how many times do conversations begin to break down as soon as someone says "you" instead of "people"? I speak publicly for a living, as well as teach writing for a living. People almost always take the "you" personally, so I avoid it unless I am directly speaking to a person. I teach that as well -- but of course, we know how well people listen to and learn from their teachers. It's just a suggestion here, in the interest of promoting effective communication. Carry on . . .

    True, but it's delivery. His foreign policy speech was well written but poorly delivered. Can he deliver a high energy speech that he isn't winging it? We will find out tonight.
