    Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune - you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me - it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right - who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners - now it used to be three, now it's four - but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, theyjust killed, theyjust killed us.

    Does Trump ever make a point. Or do you just deconstruct what he says and supply the meaning you want.

    You do realize those are just direct Trump quotes, don't you?

    It is hard to wrap our head around how this nut case ever attracted any followers, given he is such an idiot.

    No, it isn't. Read my signature line. It's actually very simple. There are enough people fed up with the Hispanic takeover they're willing to support even a guy like Trump. It is what it is. Four years of either Hillary or any of the establishment Republicans would guarantee we'll all be speaking Spanish sooner rather than later. You can't expect to hand over our country to someone else, and not get this kind of backlash. The only reason it's confusing to liberals is because they're suicidal maniacs.

    It's all about der Gedankensprung too. Trump attacks Alicia Machado; BuzzFeed responds with Trump's Playboy cameo, all of which lead us to his 1990 Playboy interview. So Hillary gets gamed again. Because in that interview he is thoughtful and articulate. But obviously Hillary's an idiot or she would never have exposed herself to this ridicule to start with.

    Precisely. When the reputable politicians don't listen to the people, the people choose the disreputable ones.

    The Progressives think they can just steam roll over the will of the people, but it doesn't work like that.

    I don't know who Harris is.

    I do know where Aleppo is, however.

    You are certainly free to express your opinion on how things "work".

    But, in the end, Hillary WILL be elected POTUS and there is nothing you (or anybody) can do about that CERTAINTY.

    Words on a forum won't change one vote, and a Hillary Presidency is ALREADY a DONE deal.

    Sam Harris believes the US should use a preemptive nuclear strike against Islam.

    Illegal immigration is at net zero.

    So, no, it is not.

    It is many things. But the seed is anxiety and hatred of a black president who isn't like the stupid working class whites who support him.

    I think you are probably correct. But that won't change the political dynamic. The reaction has set in, and it will only increase. If the people's voice is ignored, look for violence.
