I strongly disagree with him : To me, if you don't vote, do not complain.
'cause if you don't vote, you say to people "I don't care, pick up whoever you want". Then, if you're not pleased with their choice, do not complain 'cause you could have made your voice heard, you could have said "This one's a looser, do not choose him, choose this other one". And if you think they all suck, get yourself into politics, see if you can do better than them
If you voted for one candidate and he wasn't elected, you're entitled to complain about him and about the people who voted for him
If you voted for one candidate and, once he's in office, you're disapointed of him, you're entitled to complain 'cause he's not doing the thing he sais he would do, the things that made you trust him. He betrayed you.

I actually heard this on some talk show recently. Maybe the Chris Plante Show? Hilarious.
Ted Cruz' best debate performance by far.

What a trainwreck of a debate.
Yeah, they should discuss how climate change is causing a rise in terrorism.
Rubio should be concerned about climate change considering that he could be living underwater

One of those participants will be the next POTUS.
Of that, I am certain.

I tuned out after twenty minutes. Kasich was the only adult in the room and that's why I wasted a vote on him last week. The whole thing devolved as soon as they promised to not throw shade and Trump couldn't help but be the biggest asshole in the room when he said Rubio "wasn't that much of a lightweight."
There are some insecurity issues with Trump, no doubt.
Good thing he is a billionaire. If not for his wealth, he may still be a virgin.
Look if you want to retain a bit of credibility don't cite the Young Turks bunch.
And left wingers don't need to be talking about GOP lies. All left-wing power is built upon a foundation of lies and deception.
Yup. The thing the media doesn't get is that they are feeding the beast.
The thing my fellow Democrats do not get is that their hyperbole condemning him hurts their own cause. Stick to the facts. The Orangeman doesn't need exaggeration to make him look incompetent.
The problem is there are no good choices.
There has never been a debate more at odds with a campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again.” It was a depressing debacle. I fear the republic is lost. We are an uneducated people that praise ignorance, celebrity, and entertainment over statesmanship. We are degenerates, immoral, and lost. We the people have not acted as those concerned about preserving the gift of self-government. The fraying fabric of society is putting the republic at risk.

What truly makes many fellow europeans, me included, very sad is:
There were so great american presdents and other public figures, JF Kennedy, Dr. King, Eisenhower, Quincy Jones, ...
But the corruption and the power games on capitol hill have broken the educational system, there are really very little left. Sanders was consistent all his life, as it is on the records, Obama was far from what he promised in his first campaign, but he brought the economy back from close to total collapse, and he and his family are at east a good example of a family. Clinbton, Cruz, Rubio, Trump, the joke that Carson was, there is so much #Fremdschämen to go around.
I even thonk that in a way, the nutcase that Glenn Beck is s right: This must be some sort of the end of an era. Your great country is looking like it is going to disintegrate and fall into pieces.

Quincy Jones? Quincy Jones?

One thing is for certain, if you are whining that America is going down the drain, you can bet your ass that America is on the rebound.
I've been thinking. There are a lot of people that think Trump supporters are dumb, and that's bad enough, but there is somebody I'm have a feeling that thinks they're dumb that should even be much more concerning to Trump supporters. That person being Donald Trump. I hope they realize he most likely feels the same way about them as a snake oil salesman feels about a mark he successfully cons right after they walk away with his useless product. Does anybody not think he looks out on the crowds that gather for him and secretly thinks them fools?
I would give Trump credit for being so masterful at playing people, but it's more that his supporters are just that easily manipulated than any skill on Trump's part. Playing to the worst and most hateful parts of people's psyches has been a tried and true method throughout history. It also almost always leads to very bad episodes in history.
I also get a laugh out of other notable republicans that try to say Trump doesn't represent republican values and yet he clearly is leading the nomination race. They can't have it both ways. After years and years of pandering to some of the worst aspects of their party and our entire society as a whole if Trump comes around to bite them in the ass hard I think they will be getting what they deserve, because those values have indeed been part of the republican part for a long time now. This whole debacle just makes it harder for them to pretend it hasn't happened.
