so both candidates win if they can go off of attack and just talk policy - look, even the media agrees (though that wouldn't be as good for their ratings, they still admit it) despite that, expect 75% of the questions and answers to continue to encourage personal attacks all of the personal and mean spirited destructive attacks does is shore up each candidate's base. It gives the childish a nice little shiver and validation of their pettiness. Now, does anyone even think that either side's base needs more shoring up - I'm pretty sure they are already in the bag no matter what. ...

tons of interviews and accounts on local radio and tv news about people being accosted, threatened, protesters grabbing items from their hands and stomping on them, etc. People at the fundraiser having to hide for hours and using alternate exits, etc because they were scared to run the gauntlet, cops refusing to escort them to their (scratched and grafittied) cars you'll have to find them - even some of the more left wing tv stations had segments on it. so we have that much going for it the 'hired guns' part - not so much, and hard to prove - that's my bias. Just as likely we have some 'over the top' fanatics as well as just angry violent people that are attracted to these things. I'm assuming a few from each bucket. you can counter with your own opinion or bias and claim victory as you will. best I can offer - but if the next post is snarky "so you admit...." then I'm done ...

Why is this a surprise to anyone? However, whoever gets physical first is still the individual I hold responsible. It's a fair mix of 'planned lefty instigators' vs 'hothead Trumps fanatics' that chose to cross that line. In Minneapolis it was likely as bad as it gets, with verbal and physical attacks, direct theft, serious threats - with law enforcement instructed to 'ignore' the physical assaults by the hired guns. instead of responding angry to these hired guns, the best response would still have been getting tons of video of these people getting into faces and spitting, stealing and threatening, etc etc etc and then putting out in the media (at least those media that would air it - if any are left) it's still dirty and manipulative, though ...

Here's one for you; let's say this election ends up without someone getting to the magical 270 electoral votes. It then goes to the House of Reps to decide. Will the Republican-controlled House choose Trump? Jerry Baumchen I tried in another thread and ended up with I could see rationalization for them picking anyone - Donald, Gary, even Hillary - depends on what strategy they pick and if they are looking for long term or short term gratification. Clearly, this election indicates that they don't have a very deep game, so I can't even guess what'll happen. I'm sure if it comes to them, they'll screw it up - or if they do make a good pick, it won't be for the right reasons. It's so messed up no matter what. Whatever happens, I'm certain the Reps will have to reset and change a lot - or die off. I'm hoping the Dems also realize they have to do the same, but I'm not holding my breath on that. One thing I do know is that the right thing for the country (IMHO) is directly the opposite of the right thing for either party. ...

that's really horrible - we're a nation of individuals, not a nation of families. that's really cosmetic disqualifying someone SOLELY because of who their brother, father, spouse is?

I really do hope it's an electoral bust and it has to go to the House. This will put the entire 2-party stranglehold in the public light. A Rep house: 1 - CAN'T pick Hillary, that's the antithesis of what the angst stands for - I agree 2 - CAN'T pick Trump, he's so incredibly, publicly, horrific, that they'll lose more of their constituency than they keep. It'll ruin careers. 3 - CAN'T pick anyone from a 3rd party - that would destroy the 2 party, back room, REAL stranglehold of all these insiders splitting up the pie for themselves it'll be amazing to see how they interpret the least damage a House pick would create I honestly think that even a Rep house might still pick Hillary. As a Trump presidency would destroy the party, and a 3rd party pick would eventually destroy the 3-party system. But picking the 'other' guy (other is only for the public, they are all in the same team behind closed doors) - would allow business as usual and they can return to stalement and obstruction - something the public puts up with. one thing, they could pick Gary or someone else - they could gently mock him, and block him at all stages and ride it out for 4 years they could pick Trump and just completely pull his teeth and he'd be a paper president and a side show - it would make everyone else look good - Dems and Reps would oppose him picking Hillary really is the biggest chance for serious damage. Reps would oppose (stay on script), but if Dems get in charge, she'd get a rubber stamp. that's a bit scary (like Ebola is a bit of the sniffles). ...

I can't tell if that's a true statement yet. If the next question is "Ok, now for you, asshole, what was that about mexicans and models?" then he is fair. If it's just what Billvon wrote, then it's just turnabout and not any better that we're fed each day.

Unless it's a 2 party system for president - then we get months of 99% media circus/public personal destruction politics 24/7 and 1% sad meanlingless contentless soundbites.

so you're telling me that the two entrenched parties haven't had a few fringe elements to their philosophies get out there too? the worst thing about politics, IMO, is how people take the worst or even made up examples of the 'other' side and then try to compare them to the best intentions (failed or not) of 'their' side.... Gary Johnson acknowledges frequently that the Presidential election is about a subtle shift because it's for "president" not "absolute emperor". And that give and take has to happen.
