Interesting how low the "in real life" bar is compared to the "on screen" bar.

I don't think I'm the Lone Ranger when I admit that I've scaled Mt Everest and plumbed the depths of the Mariana Trench. Thankfully getting blackout drunk has its advantages.

Well this discussion has deteriorated quickly. Props to @taniwharugby for kicking it off.

@Bovidae
It is actually just rhetoric to make the claim that only the uneducated favour him. and can you give some evidence of yuor claim that Texas wont stay republican?Plenty of educated people backing Trump. It is the rhetoric of the elite that calls them uneducated because that don't tow the socialize bullshit line. Their are plenty of reasons not to vote Democrat and the economy is the primary one. The unemployment rate is a fraud. The labor participation rate is near historic lows so that close to 95 million Americans who could work are not. It was 80 mill with Obama took office. Look at the US debt: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php%3Fsrc%3Dhttps://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/files/2015/01/BO_dollarchange.png%26w%3D480&imgrefurl=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/01/07/the-story-behind-obama-and-the-national-debt-in-7-charts/&h=365&w=480&tbnid=fLBhtgaEa2Bx4M:&tbnh=160&tbnw=210&docid=5BtBuIxAKPwAHM&usg=__1G24-Eet8LoCi5avWbvmJDL4uag=&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj68a2U0aHPAhUDrD4KHf6_CTIQ9QEIIjAA#h=365&imgdii=fLBhtgaEa2Bx4M%3A%3BfLBhtgaEa2Bx4M%3A%3ByuAZLMtf2C7BvM%3A&tbnh=160&tbnw=210&w=480
I live here. This economy is not as vibrant as it once was. The place use to look vibrant but even a nice area where I live has lost some luster. While only anecdotal I have never been to so many homes with kids living with there parents still because the jobs aren't there for them. The only vibrant sector in the growth of government and no one can tell me that government is an efficient beast. The stats are endless but you wont get them from a left wing media pissing in the pockets of the Democrats. Now why did I have to enter this fray.
That graph is unadjusted trillions of dollars, which is pretty misleading because inflation is a thing. Makes it much more like a hockey stick than it really is. It should be based in 1990 dollars equivalent or something.

Clinton isn't a little better or a safe pair of hands. She's farking terrible and on par if not worse than Trump.
How?
Which policies of hers would you say are unsafe? EG he has suggested using Nukes against ISIS.. what comparable policy of hers is similarly unsafe?
He suggested Japan & Korea should develop nukes. Ditto.
I get the Trump logic of suggesting they are equally dangerous, I've just never seen anyone lay out a direct comparison show equivilant threat levels from what they want to do. But I'd love to hear it.

Cmon Gollum. There is about as much chance of you or I being serviced by Ivanka than Trump nuking Isis. That isn't a policy, it's a thought bubble.

Daily show asked Trump supporters some searching questions... I loved the identical Hillary photos... and Bill Clinton & Magic Johnson...
I saw that yesterday, was very amusing...but I suspect you could go to any rally, anywhere in the world and find similar levels of stupidity and ignorance.

Given how inept Clinton's campaign has been I wouldn't be surprised if this video is a preview of a new debate personality
Yes I realise the audience was a union and the message has been tailored. However the first debate is coming up.. Hillary won't repair her negatives.. she needs to expose Trump as being unhinged.. so she releases a maniacal unhinged video where she rants about not being ahead by 50 points.
She really is terrible at this

There are heaps of those for all candidates. All it does is show that there are some seriously stupid people in the US. I'm sure the Daily Show will do the same skit when it asks Clinton supporters similar questions. Or not.
