Either my English got much better or those chaps speak awfully. I'm using my real name here and also a result of Argentina's melting pot.

Your name and look are far too Scottish to expect you to be an Argentinian.

I hope you learned English off someone from at least Edinburgh. (Inverness is too much to hope)

That avatar's not his picture. It's the guy who went off to live in the Alaska wilderness and died because he couldn't get back.

That's the kid in 'Into the Wild'? Chris McCandless? Damn, you're right. I do this on my tablet. I thought whoever it was in that picture was somebody lying upright in bed. Now I can see it's the picture of Chris sitting in front of the bus that he died in. Now I'm depressed. I loved that story minus the ending.

For just a few days, I'm placing an image of myself in my profile, one taken some 15 years ago for my driver licence. Driver licence quality (eye colour:blue, hair:brown).

I've learnt English from dictionaries, films and TV, but thinking in English is something that I achieved here in this forum, for what I'm eternally grateful to all of you.

But they wouldn't be going after him because he was gay. They would go after him because "Gee, we need a president to be married to be a good role model" (or insert any other excuse that is given).

The Russian spam-bots would probably crank up the gay allegations (and Trump supporters would gladly repeat any such allegations they hear), but they won't explicitly say they were being homophobic... they're just "passing along jokes", or "raising questions".

And since when have Trump supporters actually been bothered by lies in the first place?

That's rich considering Trump's cheated on all his wives and had a lengthy affair while his wife had given birth to his son recently! I'd much rather have an unmarried president than one who is a serial cheater. But maybe that's just me. I don't think even Trump's supporters would want to bring that up!

You know they would. Their record up until now shows they have no problem being blatantly and pathetically hypocritical.

It's like sometimes when you're disussing with CTers, it feels like playing chess against someone who doesn't care about the rules? Who just moves pieces exactly how he wants, keeps going back and forth about what the rules really are, and ends up just flipping the table and storming off when things don't go their way?

That's Trump supporters. Trump encouraging violence at his rallies and bragging about sexually assaulting women and invading their locker rooms is "locker room talk". Other people doing it to Trump or his folks makes them furious.

From what I've seen, I like Booker myself (seems well spoken, while he holds left wing views he recognizes the importance of business). But, he is also unmarried, and I can see the Republican/Russian spin machine suggesting that his lack of a spouse is because he is gay (which of course would be used as a distraction during any election.) Unfair, but that's politics.

Perhaps he could spin it that's he's as big a believer in family values as Trump but hasn't found the right woman to cheat on yet?
 
Re: Trump's personal moral code

1. Trump supporters knew about it going in, Trump used it to get media attention during the primaries, 2Billion Dollars of media coverage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IctC0Quf8zc

2. Personal morals only qualified him for Kennedy type jobs in Washington.

3. Have you ever met a billionaire who wasn't a narccissist?

4. The Access Hollywood tape, is the reason Trump won. Hillary had an effective comparison ongoing, where she referred to him as Hitler. The summer was building the Hitler comparison, even photos of Trump raising his arm like Hitler. Then, the Access Hollywood tapes came out, and he instantly went from Hitler, to a dishonest, womanizing, Billionaire-politician. A mother of 3 whose paycheck is going up when he cuts taxes, can rationalize voting for a womanizing politician, but she can't rationalize a Hitler vote.

I don't buy this analysis at all.
 
Trump seemed unstoppable until the Access Hollywood vid - then it was certain that he would be finished.
If it wasn't for the WikiLeaks+Russian Troll farms, his campaign would have ended there and then.
 
This thread has gone far afield of its original topic. While the discussion has interest, it does not belong in this thread. This thread will now be closed, please take this discussion to the general Trump thread, or start a new on on the topic of the 2020 election cycle.
