Call Your Shot (Presidential Race)

I don't see why you think that's a softball. It's an extremely direct question that goes right to the heart of the matter. The fact that Lauer asked Trump but not Clinton may imply that he thinks it's a given that she is qualified but questionable that he is.

Also, what you are saying about your impressions of my opinion does not surprise or offend me. I don't know why you think it would. Of the two Clinton is the worse IMO, but both are far below the threshold of consideration for me. . That's why I won't be voting for either of them.


I don't see how you are interpreting my Stern comment as some sort of support of Trump, BTW. I'm the one saying that Matt Lauer shouldn't have let Trump get away with saying that he was an adamant opponent of the war when the small piece of public record we're aware of shows that was not the case. As for the Purple Heart thing, to me it sounded like an obvious joke. It seems like some people want to find a way to be offended by every single thing he says or does. For example, did you hear Bill Clinton yesterday explaining how "Make America great again" is actually racist code talk? Ridiculous.

Yes, I did misread your comment re the Stern interview. That was careless of me. As far as the Purple Heart comment interpretation, at the time, the media was simply reporting the reactions of recipients of Purple Hearts who were ticked off because they felt nobody wants a Purple Heart, nobody really wants to be wounded in combat. They took offense to Trump, and did not interpret his comment as a joke. The media reported those reactions.

Anyway, an aside, but man is this gonna be played up. My wife is given to exaggeration at times when reporting news stories to me. So, she just walks into the living room and tells me "Fox just reported Clinton has collapsed at the World Trade Center and was rushed to the hospital." I calmly replied, "Oh, so that's it then. Her campaign is over, Trump now wins in a landslide, and it looks like I will have to head up the Resistance in RI after all." Lol. And my heart sank.

I don't know what actually happened to Hillary today. The report I heard on MSNBC was much more benign. There was no mention of a collapse, or even a stumble.

I think that a serious health problem for Hillary is the worst thing that could happen from Trump's perspective. If the Dems replaced her he could be annihilated. (Or is it too late to make a switch?).

I know full well Fox will exaggerate, and I'm fine with it, it's an adversarial relationship. I just wish my wife would understand, I do have heart issues myself, lol. I know Fox and Drudge focus on her health every single day, so, when my wife walked in and said that, I was immediately certain that was the end of the race. Not withdrawal, but just forget it, Trump will waltz to victory.

Well, I guess it's a moot point now. Don't know what would happen, I imagine Kaine would get elevated to the top spot.

That video is much worse than I assumed it would be. The description in that article of "briefly swooning" is a big understatement. She wouldn't have been able to cross that three foot gap to the car without significant help.
 
I talked with someone in NYC who said it was sweltering until yesterday, but during the memorial this morning the weather was beautiful and the temperature was in the low 80s. In other words, overheating due to the weather does not make sense. Clinton's health issues just became the central issue of this campaign.
 
This is nuts, and spot on to what I was talking about by being "un-electable" by Election Day.

*pats self on back*

Either Hillary drops out soon and Bernie has a shot at it, or Trump is the next President of the United States 100%
