Nope, but it sure is entertaining to watch. I think the problem so many in the US are having with this election cycle is that they are unused to seeing democracy actually happening. They are too used to having preselected safe candidates carefully packaged and handed to them.
Democracy is messy shit guys. Welcome to the real world.

I'd just change the "used to seeing preselected" into "tired of seeing preselected".

A snottily evasive backtracking passive aggressive snipe, rather than an attempt to provide something other than hearsay, then. Thought so.

But you must understand the bar of success here. Clinton could have used his tax increases on high income labor and a booming economy not for paying off some of the debt but for dolling out more favors to corp. America and starting a couple of wars.

The country we are to 'democratically' conclude [sic] even though the SCOTUS picked Bush thereby, finally got back to its true nature when the following admin. cut his buddy's (and corp.) taxes and did go to two wars. What more could a rent-seeking, profiteering, corporate/capitalist country want ?

It is so fucking early people. Just wait, Trump...will play ball (with the establishment) or else. Trust me, the establishment wanted McCain but he was merely jingoistic buffoonery (then picked Palin) while Obama could be turned (be their puppet) and was, while practically salivated over Romney but who let it slip out how the powers behind the throne really feel about 47% of the country...just go ahead and die.

Also, the very idea that Trump's self-financing makes a difference is merely a comforting thought. It doesn't matter. Once in office if he pulls off this miracle, there are certain very powerful parties, one just does not fuck with. If he doesn't get the message, sell his soul, then if you are of that mind, you can begin to pray it.

The ones who are tired of it are not the ones having the problem with the current election cycle. :)
My only real issue is I wish that somebody other than Trump had captured the Republican revolt, that guy is just a no go for me, he's so clearly just another politician who will say whatever he thinks he needs to to get what he wants. He has made a successful career out of conning people so far, and is now trying to con the American electorate, and so far seems to be doing rather well at it.

Of course it makes no difference, because he is not self financing.

From Clinton (the rapist) state of the Union speech.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/05/17/1996_flashback_bill_clinton_talks_like_trump_on_immigration_we_are_a_nation_of_laws.html

When was Clinton sent down for rape?
Do that citation thing you're always claiming to do, but never seem to do in practice. Let's see a news story about that.

Thanks for letting me know it bothers you.

Here's NYT article discussing how Obama admitted he smoked pot and snorted coke...while Clinton (the rapist) was saying he never inhaled. Was Obama sent down? Does it take doing time for breaking a law to make someone a law breaker?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/24/world/americas/24iht-dems.3272493.html

Perhaps you could show some of that crocodile leftist compassion for his victims.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/264988-bill-clinton-rape-accuser-hillary-tried-to-silence-me

Here's a snippet of Clinton (the rape shamer) saying all sexual abuse victims deserve to be believed. We should follow her advise shouldn't we?

http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/22/backfire-hillary-tweets-all-sexual-abuse-accusers-deserve-to-be-believed-is-reminded-of-her-husband/

So no, you can't demonstrate that he was charged with rape in a court of law and served time for it, then.
Didn't think so.

Based on that reasoning, OJ Simpson is not a woman butchering maniac. After all, he wasn't convicted.

Well not entirely of course, no true blue capitalist would. (they always use other people's money) but that's part of his shtick. And in any case, does not need to be bought but will...sell his soul.
