Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion v2

[Luger]

Please film your reaction when Trump wins on election night.

Meh.
It would not be too great.

There's no way Trump is 267 pounds if he's only 6'2".

I'm the same height and while I definitely have a more athletic build (albeit half his age) I'm 219 as of today and there's no fughin way he's 50 pounds heavier than me. He's chubby but I'd put money he's no more than 230-240 tops, if that's his real height.
Celebrities almost always lie about their height , but they usually lie up. He'd have to be 6'5"+ to look like that at 267.

Donald Trump is 6'2, 267 lbs. Donald Trump is actually too big and alpha to be allowed to fight in the UFC.

I think when the interview comes out the real number will be more like 237. I'm pretty good at judging people's weights and he can't be 267.

He released his physical on the Dr. Oz show today. Perfect health, just overweight and on a statin blocker. Very strong. Very fit. Extremely impressive.

The left has owned the white house for 4 of the last 6 elections and will win the next one easily. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the right wing cowards are done. Time for them to reform.

It's the SCOTUS that matters most - step one to getting Citizens United overturned. Then everyone can stop bitching about money in politics.

 

[n...not crazy]

That's kind of bullshit. I've worked with tons of people who are great at their jobs and got degrees in the arts. In fact, last I read most people don't work in fields of their study. Smart people make good employees regardless of what they studied and most people learn their craft on the job.

Even a profession like mine (accounting) is learned on the job, and that is probably one of the most practical majors in terms of getting you ready for your career. Most of what you learn in school and studying for the CPA exam is never used in your career.

Smart? I know smart land surveyors, carpenters, and windshield installers. HS diploma, dropout, GED, you name it.

So... what does "educated" even mean? Wait, are we talking about smart or educated? What's important? I lose track. My post was about "educated" and you responded talking about "smart" people who are "good at their job". The word "educated" isn't even in your post. Me just dumb confuse engineer.

Ugh, talk about ranting over nothing. Educated people make better employees too.

I'm very sorry about that. The rest of this thread is much more focused and productive. I should have realized that. I should not have typed that.

What if the base is unhinged, racist demagogues themselves? What does it say when the average working conservative person look at that field and say I have more in common with Trump as person than these other guys. He won on personality. The guy most voters can identify with as a person

I really don't believe that.

Trumps rise to power is a unique mix. He had the name power to exist in the current media driven world. The whole republican base (rightly so) felt abandoned by their party, who promises prosperity but really only tax cuts for the rich. These people lashed out and got the furthest thing from normal they could find that still had a R next to their name. Actually some republicans even switched sides.

If you're being sarcastic aren't there better things for you to do?

You're on sherdog too, man. C'mon now. Gimme a high five.

Look, people are saying conservatives are uneducated. But we don't agree on what educated means. That's my point. I bring up education, someone else brings up smart. I ask what's what, and now I'm a time wasting dumbass. So who's on first again?

I'm on Sherdog to make points and talk though topics with people that disagree with me, as well as to read other people's back and forth. You're here for what, to troll?

Anyway, I took issue with your post basically demonizing majors you deem a waste. My point is even those who received degrees in the arts are formally educated and every degree requires well rounded education on other topics. This was explained in the post you quoted so we are certainly wasting time here.

And I clarified that more educated people tend to make better employees. The education can be technical training or formal education or whatever. You're the one that keeps bringing up smart vs educated when I know clarified it 3 times.

You're completely mischaracterizing what I've said, but at this point I don't care anymore. Have a good one.

Better than the candidate who has to take blood thinners to prevent other stroke that she didn't suffer according to the left.

"She had a blood clot in her head"

"Isn't that a stroke?"

"No..."

"...."

Not surprisingly, my point went sailing over your head.
