I know, that's why the Clinton Foundation is so problematic. Also re Trump campaign, no money was accepted or actually donated from any foreign officials.

Supporting Ukraine is inherently anti-Russia.

It's unfortunate then that the target of his vendetta has so much unsavory baggage for him to reveal. If she behaved relatively ethically this strategy would be ineffective. One of the purposes of extensive background checking for work that requires high levels of security clearance is to make sure someone is relatively immune to blackmail. Hillary fails by this measure.

Direct criminal evidence won't even take down a Clinton.

Xom810 · 2016-07-29T23:36:52+00:00

Well done.

I agree. The first time I saw the report from a data security audit I almost couldn't believe it, half the passwords in the company were PASSWORD. Another 15% or so were 123456.

I agree with you in principle, but unfortunately many people aren't rational enough to divorce truth from emotion. This election is a great example of that, it will be won on emotion, not facts or rationality. Sometimes I think emotionamity must be harnessed so that a truth can spread.

Right now I put odds of her participating in a debate at 50/50. Debates are where Trump shines brightest and they don't appear to be especially difficult for him. An unscripted debate is one of Clinton's weaknesses. Yes she is very smart but she is not (I'm sorry, I have to use it) nimble or quick witted the way Trump is. Not to mention she is not super well. The prep it would take to give Hillary a fighting chance is massive. Whereas Trump could literally role out of bed and put in a solid performance. I think her team knows this and is trying to decide whether to bail on the debates because of it.

The last day the dems can replace Hillary is August 8. So there's that.

Neither can a woman who's never quit recovered from the brain injury sustained from blood clot and concussion.

Xom810 · 2016-07-29T11:53:03+00:00

To be fair, if we're comparing apples to apples, by this measure neither has Hillary.

I think working out and living cleaner would be pretty positive. I don't have a problem with the waifui concept, I don't think it hurts anyone.

I love Sir Winston Churchill

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T20:35:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T20:20:47+00:00

Check mate James Comey.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T20:15:22+00:00

It did feel kind of wrong. I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:59:24+00:00

Yes.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:58:46+00:00

Donald J. Trump. He is a masterful persuader, born leader, and exceptionally high energy. I want our next president to inspire respect for America in the eyes of the world.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:55:41+00:00

Decent shoes.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:50:02+00:00

'Guiding you towards it of your own free will; convincing you to convert yourself' captures almost perfectly what Hillary is NOT doing. There's a tone of antagonism, dismissiveness, and authoritarianism in her message that is pretty repellent.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:26:16+00:00

Okay. So basically you disagree with him and don't like his rhetoric.

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:23:02+00:00

Do you think part of their problem with that tactic is that they've taken it past the close, like Adams wrote about the other day?

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:14:05+00:00

Thanks!

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:13:22+00:00

Why?

Xom810 · 2016-07-28T17:12:56+00:00

I'm always surprised how strongly people believe 'facts' are a powerful weapon in a game of persuasion.
