Trump Will be President

[windwalker]

From the thread on stoicism:

The pagan world largely functioned along the construct of circles of power. And the strongest man stood at the center of a given circle. That man could literally do anything he wanted to any of the other people in his circle. Anything. They simply did not matter. Concerning yourself with the thoughts/desires/needs of others within your circle was considered nonsense

Sounded like it belonged in this thread somehow...

totally agree, except its not a he, its a she

Finally finished the second debate. The bait might be more accurate, asking Clinton if she thinks Trump has the discipline to be president? That's a very subjective question inviting insults. Then the last question, "What do you respect about the other person?" What is Clinton supposed to say, "His twice-veiled threats to my assassination were skillfully opaque?"

The irony is at the end of the second when Trump complimented Hillary it was obvious to me that he probably would have easily won the election if he would have stuck with that personality type and I imagine that in a lot of ways that's probably more what Trump is really like when he is not in front of a million people. Although the election is not over I think his anger is what turned off the moderates on both sides who were considering him.

Anger is not the problem; expressing anger is completely normal and healthy. The problem is in his narcissism, misogyny, bigotry, lack of self-control, lack of compassion, disingenuity, absence of empathy, lack of experience in most fields relevant to the job he's applying for, substitution of fact with cheap play on emotions, etc., etc., etc.

[grzegorz]

All good points. Yeah, battling the Khans definitely didn't help. How hard is it for this man to apologize?

Bill Maher sees it this way.

narcissism, check
misogyny, only the ones with Bill
bigotry, what would the deplorables say
lack of self-control, check, except for her crazy laugh
lack of compassion, mmm, takes credit for others deaths while laughing about it
disingenuity, absence of empathy, see above

lack of experience, all bad but yep she does have "experience"

I could see if some can get past that she might be the better choice.

[grzegorz]

Oh yes! So unlady like.

When Osama Bin Laden died everyone in America cried, right?

No celebrations then. So why does this chick think she can get away with it?

I tell you what I am sure every president before her did the exact same thing.

But you what they didn't do? Whine...

By the way, I forgot to mention that in that podcast with the Russian point of view I didn't find any evidence that Europeans see Clinton as a war hawk. Except for the Russian media but I consider that to be "Europe" as much as a part of Europe. So the podcast wasn't exactly accurate.

Even Danes are trying to stop Donald Trump from becoming president

His whining just shows that he's just a bully punk who can only dish it out, but can't take it. I would call him a pussy, but I'd be called rude. So, I won't.

[grzegorz]

LOL!

Yes, it would seem that the plane has crashed into the side of the mountain for the GOP.

But it could go the other way. Some Democrats might not vote thinking it won't matter as they tend to do on other years.
