You and I must have a very different definition of better.

Trump makes a pretty good president, a great real estate investor, a lousy politician and an even worse man. He is belligerent and demeaning to anyone who disagrees with him, he almost should be a Democrat.

Maybe we just have a very different definition of a man.

I’ve come to believe over the last 3 years that Trump is a better man than Romney ever hoped he would be. And I’m not talking about better politician. He’s not. But he’s a better man.

I agree with that completely,

But I believe John McCain (may he rest in peace) was even worse.

I totally agree. Vengeful little man should have retired long ago, but I believe he wanted to die while in office, as many politicians do. Lying in state and all that crap.

Agreed, Stan. And remember the luscious photos of Romney meeting with President-Elect Trump, pandering for a Cabinet position? And that after his scathing letter condemning Trump as an unfit candidate? The pictures of Donald Trump smiling while giving Mittens lunch and a handshake and hope ... magnificent trolling.

If you don't understand, isn't it probable that your assumptions about him are wrong?  I mean, if you think he is doing something illogical, doesn't it stand to reason that if really is illogical, then he would think so too?  The conclusion then is that you are missing something.

My mother used to go to church with one of his cousins and met him once.  She described him as kind, gentle, thoughtful, and dedicated to what he does.  I infer that he doesn't hold a grudge and is probably ready to reach out to anyone, even those whose behavior is so much worse.

Ok Carnac the Magnificent.



For someone who “doesn’t hold a grudge and is probably ready to reach out to anyone, even those whose behavior is so much worse,” he sure doesn’t seem to extend that grace to Donald Trump, does he? 

So maybe he’s a hypocrite too.

I campaigned for that “kind, gentle, thoughtful and dedicated” man in 2012, along with his sidekick and Lucifer’s favorite politician, Paul Ryan.

Given his serious Trump Derangement Syndrome, I’m embarrassed to have ever done so. He has defiled the very traits that I attributed to him as being one of the nicest men ever to run for President. He has since become a vengeful, nasty little man, who is willing to side with his former enemy to combat his president.

Here’s when I campaigned for him. How far he’s fallen. 

Truth;  actually quite common.  It strikes me as wanting to hang with the “cool guys” - Ivy League types whose core group is well-heeled wealthy WASPs.  Makes no sense, since traditionally that bunch looked down on Jews, and lately has supported Palestine.

Kind of like Romney who wants to chum it up with the same democrats who called him sexist, a criminal tax cheat, and in favor of animal cruelty.

Yea, I don’t get that either.

HA!  Branch Covidians.  These effing Democrat Governors and other Democrats along with the Media are really putting the screws to people.  There are people at wrok who think if they don't wear a mask they WILL die.  It is just freaking amazing.

Here too. Our firm requires masks when outside of our office, going to the bathroom or coming or going from work.

Today I was in a conference room with our masks off with two of my staff people spread out in a large 16-person conference room, and I got a nasty look from the office manager, who is some admin hag, when she walked by. She must be a covidiot.

Oh no, it will be moderated by the Never Trumper Chris Wallace, and the candidates will be given the questions a week in advance. As Biden will be in a sound room “alone,” he could just read from a prompter and do his bulldozer act ... the one he pulled on Ryan at the veep debate in 2012 where he interrupted Ryan 87 times. 

What a pass we have come to when we have to even worry about such machinations and tactics.

Biden will be in a sound room alone?  Why?  They can’t get 20’ away from each other on a stage?

He can't.  That's his biggest problem.

Meh. I’m not worried about this. By saying that, he took the high road, and knows when the funeral is scheduled. If the Dems drag this out for politics, Trump will just go ahead and announce even before the scheduled funeral. Not worried about Trump or HIS optics.
