    Of course tolerance of intolerance is tolerance. What else could it be?

    You are just justifying your hypocrisy.

    Man child, or corrupt, power hungry sociopath? Yeah, I'll take the man child. Next time try to run a candidate with some scruples. So how many Trump rallies have you been to? We've seen how your side acts, no riots from Trump voters.

    I'll take neither, thank you very much. This is what the two party system has reduced us to, and YOU are a part of it, as is every other "spoiler"-minded dope who votes.

    I was happy that he beat Hillary. I'm still glad Hillary isn't president.

    But that doesn't make Trump good by any means.

    There wasn't much to choose from, I will admit that. I'm sorry, but I think she was pulling ahead; according to poles. When Comey announced she was being investigated again, it was cinched. Donald was winning. It begs the question, if you ask me, why was her investigation announced, and the one about his aids and helpers whatever, not announced. At least it would have made the playing field even at the end.

    I don't know about the outcome. Trump had a better ground game and a better message, in the end. I look at the Hillary investigation more as icing on the sh*t cake.

    Actually, it is something how Trump had gone with the "Crooked Hillary" mode of attack, and then there was the DNC stuff AND the announced investigation to go with it. It all fit together nicely for Trump. So, maybe it did have a pretty big impact in the end. I keep wondering whether there was coordination of any kind between Trump with that mode of attack and the Russians with their hacking and dumping of info. It was all just so convienient.

    The man has a presence...I don't think I like him...Hilary had not presence....if there had been a good alternative, I don't think he would have done it. Won, I mean.

    Well, the clever Russians might have simply seen an opportunity and acted, such that it would have appeared much like collusion. This is bound to be why the FBI is investigating - they've got enough evidence in the way of Trump team contacts with the Russians that they have to make sure it wasn't more than just the Russians managing a very successful exploit that was very good for Trump to shake up our election. The difference here is, of course, crucial for Trump and co. He won't get into trouble if there's no evidence of collusion..

    Oh, it's true. I think many on both sides were holding their noses, so to speak, and voting for one over the other. The spoiler mentality with two very badly spoiled candidates :D

    Racists, bigots, misogynists from the right are in no position to preach about tolerance. Tolerance of stupidity and ignorance is not something I indulge in.

    Of course you will. He likely makes you feel all grown up. He's a testament that even complete morons can win our nations highest office. He inspires idiots everywhere.

    None, because I don't exclusively breath out of my mouth, and I enjoy hearing sentences above a 3rd grade level. I also don't own a trucker hat, engage is racism, misogyny, or bigotry. If I want to see a vapid, ignorant reality TV star I'll just switch on the TV and put on E!

    Yup.... in spite of his flaws.....
    Bernie was electable.......
    but Hillary was pretty scary!

    One person stated that at least thirty percent of Bernie's supporters would not vote for Hillary
    after Hillary supporters cheated him out of the nomination........

    It would have been interesting, to be sure. There probably would not have been that terribly negative campaign. It would have been Trump's populist message versus Bernie's. Extreme capitalism vs socialism..

    Exactly....... I suspect that President Trump would probably still have won......
    but I admit that I could be wrong........ Bernie was very likeable.........
    Hillary just wasn't!

    Bernie seemed to be truly sincere..... even if I disagreed with him vehemently.......
    I respected his sincerity.

    I personally didn't believe anything that Hillary spoke!

    Of course they are. They know what it is to be despised. You just won't listen to them in your intolerance.

    You have a very narrow window of acceptability.

    I have to wonder how Bernie would have handled Trump's claims and how Trump would have tried attacking Bernie.

    And yep, agree about Bernie and Hillary's levels of sincerity.. Bernie would have been at that post-8-years-of-Democratic-rule disadvantage, though. The election was already biased toward the Republicans in that regard. Still, Bernie didn't have the stigma of corruption and dishonesty and Trump was an offensive clown. I'll bet the race still would have been close..

    It's a low threshold for stupidity to be more accurate.

    So it is stupidity you don't like. You would have no problem with intelligent racists.

    Those are mutually exclusive.

    Not necessarily. I had an African-American kid last year who was a straight-A student, and bigoted to the bone. Hated Hispanics with a purple passion. Never heard him hate on whitey since we don't have any where I am but he likely felt the same way.

    Of course, there's still nothing intelligent about racist beliefs and attitudes, which I think is the real point here.
