"What wonderful choice we've been allowed!"

Maybe it isn't, I don't know. It's true in the sense that about 9% of registered voters in the country are responsible for the selection of the two major party candidates, but I took it in a more conspiratorial way. Maybe I read too much into the sentence. I do that sometimes.

So more people said blacks were violent than rude? I would be curious to read these poll questions myself.

I think it was solely a jaded remark on the quality of our selections, and not conspiratorial, but that's just how I took it.

Well she's up against a solid wall of sexism. It's obnoxious especially given that she's immeasurably more qualified for the job than her opponent.

8,000 or so respondents, asked to rate African Americans on a series of statements (i.e. are lazy). After that was done, they were asked to rate white Americans on the same statements. No direct in-question comparison statements, no bias of phrasing.

I assure you no one has ever thought of her as female, including Bill.

If Trump were sick, and more importantly, lied about it, and even more importantly colluded with the media to hide the fact, then the Stewart's and Colbert's of the world would be having a field day. It's laughable to suggest she is being treated worse.

It is both true that Trump is a dumbass AND that the media is overwhelmingly biased against him. One doesn't cancel out the other.

That's exactly what happens when you get pneumonia, you fucktard. You cough your brains out and then develop a nasty fever. You have no way of knowing you have it until a doctor diagnoses it.

I find it sadly pathetic that people mock her for coughing and then accuse her of "lying" when they find out she has pneumonia. There is your average Trump supporter in a nutshell. Thinking is too hard...just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

What if the assertion is backed by the statistics and news that those Trump supporters are exposed to? In other words, perhaps they are horribly misinformed vice being deplorable. Is there anything in the US media or recent events that would lead people to that conclusion?

If someone says they are not sick when they have previously been diagnosed by doctors as being ill, in what delusional universe would you have to reside in to not comprehend that this is a lie, you troglodyte? They said they knew she was ill since Friday (which of course could also be complete bullshit). I know you aren't the brightest guy, but come the fuck on.

dumbshit, here is the timeline:

1. coughing fits, stumbling, and other events, dismissed as rumors spread by crazy conspiracy nuts.
2. doctors say she has allergies. She continues to struggle in public.
3. Collapses.
4. Doctors say she overheats, but is fine.
5. Says she's fine. Has a photo op with a kid (with a contagious disease.)
6. Doctors say they knew she had pneumonia... since FRIDAY. There has been no mention of it before this time.

You cannot seriously say they didn't lie about it. Of course they lied about it. You fucking moron party bitch. Redteam/blueteam, with us or against us retards like you are the problem with this country.

I find the best response to Wendy/Trump types is overwhelming ad hominem attacks and insults. I've been waiting to break out "troglodyte" for some time.
