Heh. This is like the bad old days. When you get a bit a teary eyed for OD you can go to facebook for your circular argument fix. For those who don’t know Alan Pedersen was Spoo on OD. I don’t honestly know if he came over on the good ship Prosebox, but, you know, it’s not like I had this conversation with him behind his back. Also, he might think he’s winning it. You might think he’s winning it.

I still have a very straight forward question for Trump supporters; where’s the stuff about Don being a good candidate? All I’ve been seeing is how Hillary is a bad one from his supporters. Well, and how liberals are poop heads and poop butts because they have poop in their heads and butts and hillary is a criminal with criminal poop in her criminal butt and looks like an old lady with poop.

Scientists believe they have discovered a new element, found in the blood of a patient. They are naming it Hillarium. It has the unique property of both having the highest capacity for and being the greatest conductor of evil, An earlier report of a similar element, named Prevaricatium, having been found in the blood of the patient’s husband, cannot be confirmed. The thesis has disappeared from the files of the university, and the doctoral candidate, who wrote the thesis, disappeared shortly after its publication.

Harold Neff Crane I remember back when Bush 2.0 was in the white house and he did something particularly shitty and you said you were a libertarian. Yet this looks a whole lot like Trump supporter tactics (though, I think, republicans aren’t solidly in that camp, so, yeah, libertarian) denigrate the opposition with made up shit (c’mon, it’s Hillary, if you have to make shit up you aren’t trying very hard) because it’s damn near impossible to find something to laud the Don’s virtues. Just saying. Satire-wise, um, it’s just not funny.

Alan Pedersen I sat through David Sedaris saying that the choice between the Democrat and George W. Bush was a choice between a good candidate and a steaming pile of shit. All the Liberals in the audience laughed. It must have been funny to them.

Harold Neff Crane It’s possible David Sedaris was playing to his demographic, I don’t know, I wasn’t watching, ad hominem humor is pretty low on my comedy index.

Alan Pedersen That Hillary Rodham Clinton is dishonest, corrupt and evil is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer, except to those who will not see it. If Hillary were to withdraw immediately, any reasonable candidate to take her place would beat Trump in a landslide. Otherwise, there is a likelihood that Trump will win.

Harold Neff Crane Or, the GOP could yank Trump and run a real candidate, by your logic that candidate should be able to win easily.

Alan Pedersen Doesn’t quite work that way, dawg.

Harold Neff Crane Yes, either way. The difference being the GOP really really didn’t want to give trump the nod. The way it doesn’t work happens all around the mulberry bush. Clinton withdrawing is just as unlikely as trump getting booted. You still haven’t championed the trump cause. I understand; a herculean task.

Alan Pedersen I have never been a Trump supporter. Obnoxious boors are common in the Presidency. Bill Clinton and W. are recent examples. The corruption of the Clintons is monstrous. They both need to be in jail.

Harold Neff Crane As long as our democracy remains a two party system (for all practical purposes) Trump is the alternative. Though he hasn’t been suckling at the public teat it hardly makes him clean. It’s not really the president who runs the country or even the oval office. I’m not sure America isn’t already set up up for privatized government, I mean, shit, Bush privatized war, but is trump who you want to sell the country too? Politics has been ugly in this country since … well, always, but not as ugly as real estate or casinos. Or, you know, you could just not participate. Or try to find a reason to support Trump. I’d like to hear it if you find one.

Alan Pedersen If Trump is elected, I will be a severe critic. We have not had a two-party system in this country for a long time. It has been the Inside-the-Beltway Party for many years … with two names, Democrats and Republicans. To the extent that Trump is an outside-the-beltway guy, he represents a true second party.

Harold Neff Crane Huh. Pretzel logic, without RNC money he wouldn’t be in the race.

Alan Pedersen I’m sorry, Haredawg. You will need to explain “Pretzel logic” without resorting to DNC cute ideas..

Harold Neff Crane Nothing cute about it. Trump isn’t running on independent money, he’s running on the RNC’s dime, which means he’s representing the same old “second” party if that’s what you’re calling the GOP. It’s pretzel logic to state otherwise. He’s not running independently, or even under you’re libertarian party, that’s, I believe, Johnson.

Harold Neff Crane Here’s my cute answer (I’m a registered independent though, notice I’m not lauding hillary’s virtues. It’s on purpose. I really am independent, not an armchair libertarian in kitty kat klothing). Let’s say you need your brakes and tires fixed. You go to GOP auto works and say “Last time I was here your guy, trained as a GOP mechanic, installed the patriot act and my brakes wouldn’t stop my tires from gross inflation and then you sold my contract to Haliburrton for usuric rates. I want a mechanic who hasn’t been trained but wears the uniform and collects a paycheck from y’all.”
Cute enough?
