    He voted for her. She was completely corrupt, and she sold out our country to the Russians, and she was completely incompetent, but he voted for her anyway.

    I thought what i said was fair and precisely what he said. And of course he still is fine with her, corruption and all.

    He will not do anything of that... As you can see.

    Since when do simple solutions solve complex problems?

    We are not in the 19th century anymore.

    She cheated herself and the Democrat party out of the presidency. Had she not done what she had done we would have President Sanders or Biden right now.

    I strongly recommend anyone who supported Bernie but voted for Hillary to read this whole article. Also anyone who donated to their Democrat state parties but supported Bernie. According to BRAZILE, "Hillary’s campaign was grabbing money from the state parties for its own purposes". So if you were a Bernie Bro and donated money to support your state party Democrats, most of your money was going to Hillary not the Congressional Representatives and Senators.

    The answer to this thread can be answered by himself, if only he would look hard into what Hillary did and didnt do. He needs to look hard into all the lies she told, and all the action that were illegal like her home brew computer with national secrets on it, and all the ways she destroyed government documents.

    Occams Razor: Always pick the simplest, easy solution.

    It's as true now as it was in the thirteenth century

    True. I said in the OP, "Trump was also aided by the catastrophic decision by the Democrats who nominated Hillary Clinton, a candidate with enough baggage to fill a moving van.

    "Trump was so bad as a candidate that he lost the popular vote to Clinton by nearly three million votes. Now that is bad."

    Ah,yeah, and if you squint a bit and leave off the tweet thing, you got Obama. No government experience, no military experience, used a wrecking ball on the Constitution, and seemed to have need to stir up racism every time he opened his mouth.

    "Moronic"? Did someone blow a dog whistle in your ear?

    Sure.

    The fact that Trump has so often gone bankrupt is not the proof he's not able to understand something as simple as economy. .

    Senator Lindsey Graham had this to say about Trump's endorsement of Roy Moore. I couldn't agree with him more (pardon the pun).

    He bemoaned Trump's support for Alabama Senate Republican candidate Roy Moore on Sunday, calling the move a lose-lose situation.

    "If he wins, we get the baggage of him winning, and it becomes a story every day about whether or not you believe the women or Roy Moore, should he stay in the Senate, should he be expelled?" Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union." "If you lose, you give the Senate seat to a Democrat at a time where we need all the votes we can get.

    "The moral of the story is don't nominate someone like Roy Moore who can actually lose the seat any other Republican could win," the South Carolina Republican told anchor Dana Bash. "And what I would tell President Trump: if you think winning with Roy Moore is going to be easy for the Republican Party, you're mistaken."

    Now who is responsible for Moore becoming the Republican nominee? Trump's base, that's who. The same people who voted for Trump in Alabama voted for Moore.

    A huge majority of Americans did not vote for Trump. You didn't know that? That's right. You voted for Trump. That explains it. It is people like you that gave us Roy Moore.

    What did my post have to do with a "liberal life style?" Or "liberal America?" What gave you the idea I was a liberal?

    You don't know.

    Did you hear Trump's latest? It is about Pocahontas. What he said was so incredibly stupid, I don't care to get into it. What a moron.

    Divisive? Hell, yes. He says things just to piss people off.

    Right, and you defend Moore because what you are suggesting is impossible. The election is Dec. 12. A trial to determine Moore's guilt or innocence is not possible.

    So, the rest of us rely on our judgment rather than a bar too high like you. We go by the original statement put out by the White House before Trump changed his mind. We go by what Trump's daughter said about Moore. We go by what multiple Republican Senators have said about Moore and the fact that, if he wins, they will want to unseat him.

    But not you. You want Moore to stay in the race and win, a pedophile in the Senate. Geez! Trumpians are something.

    There is an element of truth to that.

    On average, the national polls were correct in the last week after Comey's sudden announcement. The polls had her winning by 3%. She won by 2.1%. That's pretty accurate.

    The interesting point is, you didn't challenge anything I said.

    Didn't ever say on this or any other Moore thread that I wanted Moore to win, you were putting your words in my mouth. Please don't do that. What we have are allegations presented 1 month before an election that could ultimately destroy a persons life. I don't/won't do that. Where are the allegations from victims the 40 years in between these charges? Pedophiles don't cure themselves. As it stands now the so called evidence is nothing more than he said/she said and as of now 2 of the 'victims' stories are falling apart.

    I did not realize I claimed you were a liberal. I know four things about you.

    1) You are a military veteran
    2) You are older than me.
    3) You are a published author
    4) You are an anti Trumpist (arguably fanatical).

    It is quite possible that when it comes to most issues you are as conservative as I am.

    You missed the relevant part.
    All the polls, the pollsters, the talking heads and wizards- SAID TRUMP WOULD LOSE. They were ALL wrong.
    I know the term "wrong" is really hard to swallow, but the facts say that;a where you are. Denial and evasion of logic won't change it.
