Donald Trump's Ego Is Going to Further Polarize American Politics

You do know, of course, that this is unreadable because of all the pejoratives you spiced it up with.

Come back when you can lay out some kind of argument in a rational manner. Until then... No

 

Thank you, and it does clarify your stance. We will obviously have to disagree on Mr Trump's qualities - as you might have gathered from my posts, I believe only he will oppose Islamic State - and with extreme prejudice - when they come a-knocking on your door. And they will!

 

You're focused on the wrong enemy, it would serve us all better to be more focused on the plutocratic powers that be (who, btw, are responsible for provoking "terrorism").

Translation, it's too spot-on for comfort.

 

Well they certainly haven't helped, but this is sommat which has been on the cards since the 7th century; think 'Wahhabism'?

 

Either candidate, either Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Trump, when elected will be what all presidents are, the top cog in the governmental machinery, the political superstructure that functions to express the power and hegemony of the capitalist ruling class. Both are eminently conventional, mainstream candidates in this regard. Both offer zero hope of making over and democratizing the status quo. Yes, dear Trumpites, both will quite predictably continue to uphold the economico-political predominance of economic elites; despite his populist schtick, Mr. Trump, every bit as much as Mrs. Clinton, would continue to pilot the ship of state on the course plotted for it by the plutocracy. There will be no radical course changes that will truly rein in the power of our corporate and financial overlords and empower the working class. There is, however, a significant difference or two between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump is an individual with a sexist, racist, narcissistic, capitalist mentality, a cruel and unstable personality with a dangerous tendency to lash out, and a skill set that is abjectly deficient in any real qualifications to hold the highest office in the land. He’s clearly far and away the more awful candidate. I certainly don’t care for voting for the lesser evil, but if there’s ever been an election in modern times in which one of the candidates clearly represents a significantly greater enemy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it would be our current election thanks to the ugly candidacy of The Donald. Mr. Trump clearly must be prevented from achieving the latest ambition of his ego, even though this means electing his also highly undesirable opponent.

(Btw, I have a pointed question to put to members of the religious right who support Mr. Trump. Do you genuinely believe that the deity whom you worship condones or overlooks Mr. Trump’s sexism, racism, narcissism, insensitivity, and vulgarity? How is it that a good God could possibly be in the corner of an unkind, bigoted, and dangerously grandiose character like The Donald? Well, but if you don’t actually think that God supports Mr. Trump then how can you see your way clear to voting for him? How, pray tell, is casting your ballot for Mr. Trump consistent with being a devout Christian? Or is it simply the case that you’re allowing your conservatism to override your putative Christian decency?)

 

More like, if you were capable of putting that nonsense into a straight forward argument, it would look like...

I hate Trump
you should hate trump
therefore, we should hate trump.

You have nothing there dude. Lots of fancy words, but no brains to back them up.

 

An example of simpleminded reductionism. Quite predictable.

 

Hillary doesn't even love herself. She just loves power.

 

LOL! Trump is not a politician who has held office. LOL @ saying he is a member of the "ruling class".

 

Your mmassive ego bleeds through that post

 

Methinks I detect your bias.

 

And Mr. Trump of course is a flaming narcissist who's too much in love with his grandiose self-image.

Apparently I once again need to point out an objective and well-duh! factoid, Mr. Trump is a capitalist fat cat, aka a capitalist pig, aka a capitalist elite.

 

Trump loves to be a bully for sport

 

Take away all the unnecessary verbiage you throw into your tome-like texts, and that is all that is left.

 

I find it unfathomable how people could consider voting for a person whose judgement is so bad that he publicly speculates on how sexy his infant daughter might one day be, or publicly states that he would like to "date" his adult daughter. And that's just one issue. There are many others equally egregious.

 

No, I'm being rational. Aside from the few rednecks supporting Trump what racism are you talking about?

 

Hmm, so you're in denial about racist xenophobia and hispanophobia inhering in the position of Mr. Trump and his supporters on the issue of immigration? I see.

 

Give me an example of his racism. And no one is against immigration. People are against ILLEGAL immigration.

 

No one has a bigger ego than the Clintons

 

Ah, the same old flimsy and quite transparent "legitimate" pretext for xenophobia. As for your attempt to deny that Mr. Trump is a racist, LOL! Here you go, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-racist-examples_us_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83

 

Have you ever seen The Donald on television?

 

Take one a post it here. I'm not going to respond to 13 alleged racist quotes. As to your comment did you know Mexico has a wall? Why is our wall racist but theirs isn't?

 

And that is called Karma.

 

I just go by what Huma tells me.
