As of today, these are the four leading candidates for President. Please cast your vote with or without comment and we'll see how Bobcatattack aligns with all of the polls out there.

So you don't like the same old stuff every year from Solich. I believe you don't think he ever changes. If this is your belief, how can you back Hilary? The same old stuff, year after year. There are many Ohio University graduates that live in the real world of Ohio not California who have different opinions than you.

While I am not a Trump supporter, people on either coast who can't comprehend the support he is garnering are out of touch with middle America(both geographically and politically.)

+1

I comprehend it in the sense that it appears to be a fact, with election day being the ultimate determiner if Trump has a majority in Ohio.

Many on the threads here hate me but I think that few can effectively deny that I first get the facts right. Getting the facts right is absolutely critical in business...and life.


What is incomprehensible is that people actually support someone who is so obviously unqualified.

Vote for yourself. Vote for Cruz or Bernie or anyone else who is at least qualified, no matter what arguments we may have over their policies.

But Trump is actually going to get tens of millions of votes. That is sad. And astonishing.

Oh, c'mon. It's obvious that Trump has much support in Middle America and the South.

That support is a fact and no one denies that it exists strongly in those places.

What is puzzling is why. It's especially puzzling as to why those who are most hurt by Republican trickle-down, favor-the-rich policies (tax policies, ETC...Trump as exhibit #1) continue to support Republicans. A clinging to the past (which is long gone) explains that, of course....as it explains support for Solich.

Just because one refuses to acknowledge reality doesn't mean it doesn't exist: Solich can't beat good teams or win a MACC.

And, greater historical trends and economic arbitrage (hey, it's cheaper to manufacture in Asia...and you love the cheap products from that manufacturing) are why manufacturing jobs left...and you'd be angry as hell (cause that's the m.o.) if tariffs raised prices on those cheap goods.

But, hey, get angry. It's a lot easier than getting educated, than preparing for the future economy. Blaming others and wallowing in the past will not create the future. The same old same old will not create the future, will not win a MACC.


And don't argue back to me that Repubs are not the party of anger.

Anger seems to be an easy message to create. It's mostly tied to the past with no real solution forward.


No one can deny that the Repubs with that msg of anger frame their msg a lot better than the Dems.



Trump: I BLAME SOMEONE ELSE!



Gotta love that Trump has created such a funny new go-to: "Wrong!"

The overall political leanings across the country can be summed up very simply: Urban vs Rural. I saw a map of the US for the 2012 election, divided up by voting district. That map was a perfect representation of the urban areas across the country, shown in Blue, vs the rural areas, shown in Red. It didn't matter whether you were looking at the South or New England, the Midwest or the Pacific Coast. Rural America is predominantly conservative and Urban America is predominantly liberal.

As far as Trump's popularity goes, it doesn't have anything to do with his policies or promises. The reason he is getting so much support is the fact that he is not Hillary Clinton and is not a politician. Likewise, the reason for much of Hillary's support is the act that many people are afraid of a Trump Presidency, and see her as the lesser of two evils.

John Cleese on stupidity

He was Democratic mayor and on city council of Cincinnati and lost his position when he was caught paying for hookers with a personal check that was discovered during a raid.

Christ. The arrogance you people show is unbelievable. Get over yourselves. No one gives sh!+ who you're voting for, or what you think of others. Let it go.

This seems appropriate to put here.
