Will this political season and presidential race be the basis of the greatest study of emotional psychology ever? I am afraid many have been played. I'm not talking about who to vote for at this point. I am talking about the events leading up to this point.

I'm afraid we are living in a great and cast psychology experiment and many have yet to realize it.

allisji,
It seems like and ambush to me. It's apparent they wanted a Trump vs Hillary race.

Yeah, but I have too many other conflicts with Johnson. Plus, he has much less of a chance than Trump.

I'm not sure what they could be. He's actually more conservative than The Donald in many areas. ....and they are now talking about allowing him into the debates, so his polling numbers are going up.

Here is some food for thought.

Parabellum, I agree with much of what you say. I will also vote for him.

While I am not aggressively promoting him, I am not bashing him in public. However, we must all acknowledge, Trump and his most voracious supporters are doing as much damage to his candidacy as his detractors. Screaming, yelling, insulting and getting in people's faces does not win anyone over. If anything, it pushes people further away.

I would encourage you, the Donald (if given the opportunity) and his other supporters to turn down the intense caustic rhetoric and attempt to be a little more tactful and diplomatic. After all, many of the Donald's detractors cite his tone deaf hotheadedness as a reason they consider unfit for the office. He and his supporters continue to substatiate those concerns daily.

Media and polite saboteurs will continue to do to Trump what they tried for the last year, and they've lost then and will continue to lose.

You need to stop the veiled insults. Pointing out he has a lot of ground to make up is not being a "polite saboteur" or an "operative" for the other side. We should be able to discuss the situation without the continued personal attacks and insults.

Do we have the best hose?

NO!

Do we have the hose we wanted?

NO!


Our options are let it burn or put down the fire with the best hose at our disposal.

I nominate steveincowtown for Best Post in this Thread.

The republicans have been doing this for years. That is how we got to where we are now.

This is sickening. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08 ... lawed.html

10 points is significant. Can he make up ground?
