The language is rough, I know, and not PC. But it seems like the GOP talking to Trump, in the only language he can understand.

And this cast can pull off the inflection that makes raw speech sound a lot more powerful than it would in lesser mouths.
I'm thinking you're right that a lot of GOP folks feel that way about their current presidential nominee.

What real human dialogue which amped up the incredible tension of the story line.
Not easily done.
Brilliant, which of course has nothing to do with Trump.

I'm glad we're on the same side this time, and I'm glad I supported BHO once HRC conceded the primaries.
I have always, and will always support the Democratic nominee.
Because the worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican, even in the best of circumstances.
Not because they're Republican, but because they are fucking assholes.

(28,254 posts)What a luxury, to have two candidates as good as BHO and HRC to spar over. Seems like a long time ago.
And I couldn't agree with you more: the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican. Always.
