    Clinton is part of a bi-partisan movement to squeeze Putin hard. I personally think adding the Baltics to Nato and trying to flip Ukraine is going too far, but Clinton is probably gung ho about all of that. Putin would love to see her go down.

    There are two problems with your idea. First, trolling and disagreement aren't the same thing. The only reality trolls reveal is that there are a lot of horrible people online who don't care about any standards of civilized behavior.

    Also, the trolled can just leave twitter. Eventually it will just be trolls trolling trolls.

    If we didn't have term limits then we would have gone Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Obama, Obama, Obama, and the we would have been much better off.

    I don't think corruption should be much of a guiding factor. The only reason Trump doesn't seem corrupt is that he's refreshingly honest about his lack of ethical principles. There's nothing to corrupt in Trump.

    Also, it's been a loooong time since we had an honest and ethical president. His name was Carter, and nobody liked him.

    I don't approve of Hillary's foreign policy. It's just better than the alternative available. Trump doesn't understand that the US nuclear umbrella keeps Japan from wanting to get nukes, and that's very good thing. Trump doesn't understand that NATO security guarantees prevents an arms race in Europe. Any student of history knows that's a very good thing. Trump doesn't understand that banning Muslims will not prevent terrorism, but will hurt our image, tramples over our founding philosophical concepts, and probably will promote terrorism.

    He doesn't get any of these basic concepts. He's too dumb to be president. Heck, he's famous for this piece of advice he gave to Reagan's nuclear negotiators: arrive late to the meeting, then the first thing you do is say "Fuck you!" to the Russians. That will throw them off their game.

    As if the Russian negotiators were small time businessmen from Peoria with dollar signs in their eyes.

    I actually think Hillary is a bit too dumb to be president, but she's way smarter than Trump.

  13. That's the name of the game.

    The only payment I get is the sweet, sweet outrage from the misogynists and racists when someone does not believe as they do, but it's payment enough.

    Trump doesn't understand even the basic philosophical concepts on which our government is based. You assholes don't give a crap because he's finally saying the right things about the wrong people. Plus he's an idiot who doesn't understand foreign policy, but you guys don't care about that, either.

    For the record, I'm with Bernie, but I'm not sad that Hillary won, because Bernie doesn't know shit about foreign policy, either.

    They are going to destroy Trump with garbage because the American people are too stupid to reject him for the truly horrible things he's said and done.

    That's the logic. It's all about stability. If I'm Russia, and I think the US is about to develop a real working ABM system, then the clock is ticking on the use of my missiles. Maybe I should gamble on a first strike to wipe out US missiles. If I don't, then later the US can launch a first strike without fear of retaliation.
