75% had positive feeling

[HighStickHarry]

When does that ever happen. I bet 75% don't even have a positive feeling about Christmas or warm homemade bread

The media has to get out in front and paint a negative picture. They are holding on strong.

 

[HighStickHarry]

Kind of makes you question the 25%. They are either blinded by hate or stupidity or they know it's positive and they answer in the negative anyway to help the narrative. If I was in one of those groups I would question whether any of my opinions were valid.

They are the delicate, need to suckle a free speech muzzling government tit in a quiet corner to make them feel safe snowflake crowd.

I picture some baby Huey looking dem with his thumb in his mouth scowling in a corner and weakly wailing "but Trump is a meanie!"

This only proves that the sheep are happy to be led. Too many on this board right now for my comfort...

Do you think it's that, or is it that the "sheep" just hate Hillary?

I dislike both parties but I can't bring myself to vote for a democrat.

SMH ---- I don't know, just at a loss right now...

If you could pick one person to be president, who would it be? I can't think of anyone.

 

[davidallen]

This cycle I would have made a tough choice and perhaps gone with Kasich...

Forget this cycle. Name one person in this country.

The media is concocting its narrative for the Trump win as we speak. They will reach in their bag and pull out all of the usual words they employ when they get their ass handed to them and the people start getting their way -- words like the "dark side of America," "mean," "selfish," and other such B.S.

Do you think Trump's speech was full of hate? I keep hearing that and just cant get my mind wrapped around it.

That you don't understand that he represents perhaps the best chance for change in a lifetime makes me SMH.

You see some sheep but not others?

Actually it doesn't. I know that you are a lefty that poses as a centrist.

 

[davidallen]

I see lots of sheep... including those who somehow are convinced that Government (Government by Trump I suppose) can now solve all our ills. How the F$%CK did that happen?

Haven't seen or listened to it. Was a bit predisposed this week. What I have read, in the excerpts, is pure lunacy. Perhaps that is the difference, his delivery must have been something...

Do you think Trump wants to make govt bigger? I believe he wants to get rid of regulations, streamline departments and cut govt waste.

All our ills is a stretch. Turning the boat in the right direction is good enough.

Hmmm... that takes some noodling. Weld is all I can come up with off the top of my head.

I end up in the upper right quadrant of this graph:

A 3rd Term would be preferable to either of these choices (at least one person reading this just stroked out I know).

That your news sources would convey that isn't surprising.

Talking to yourself now?

 

[CBradSmith]

*excerpts you read.

 

[davidallen]

Yeah, the NYTimes can not be trusted...

 

[CBradSmith]

Talking to yourself now?

Yes.

That's probably to your benefit (not engaging).

 

[CBradSmith]

Yeah, the NYTimes can not be trusted...

The speech was nearly 1.33 hours in duration. That the NYT would spoon feed you excerpts that you characterize that way (because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, since you aren't bringing the quotes that trouble you to the board for analysis for transparency), isn't surprising in the least.

Are you planning on watching it? I am very interested in your notes.

See the How thread for a quote or two for you to analyze...

Doubtful. And I wouldn't be taking notes, though I might live post it if I do for entertainment value...

Good question. And good answer.

 

[ctrawick]

LOL. I guess is misspoke. I am interested in your thoughts. I would appreciate your thoughts if you would take the time. You have a very interesting perspective.

 

[davidallen]

If I do watch it - I will live tweet my thoughts - and just to spice it up - 2 glasses of wine minimum...

@davidallen I have to agree here. If you want to call it lunacy then you need to have formed your own opinion by watching it.

Have 5, and please let me know when you plan to do it. HOF material I am sure.

Your serious Clark? You think this need to look toward government to fix all of our ills is a new phenomenon, and not only that, specific to Trump supporters?

 

[HighStickHarry]

Davidallen, when you see "pure lunacy" but 75% of the country found it at least somewhat positive you don't question yourself?

This.

Further, with hundreds, possibly thousands, of statements to choose from in a massive text, your analysis appears remedial, insufficient in quantity and quality. It's on the Clintoon level. Unless you bring more to the table, where transparency is a disinfectant, your lunacy statement is couched in your partisan beliefs and willful blindness.
