Brave new political world

Postby William Thornton » Sat Nov 19, 2016 7:41 am

The candidate who didn't spend most of his time courting donors...wins.

The candidate who best expresses an antidote to Citizens United...wins.

The candidate who didn't receive hundreds of thousands from Wall Street for secret speeches...wins.

The candidate who offers the best chance to reverse the rust in the rust belt...wins.

The candidate who employed vastly fewer political gunslingers...wins.

The candidate who didn't focus group every syllable to see what works...wins.

The candidate who spend far less on political ads...wins.

The candidate who repeatedly spoke before tens of thousands while his opponent corralled dozens and hundreds...won.

One would think that political liberals would acknowledge a few things they like or at least admit that the candidate of the self-affirming elitists was badly flawed.

...but, the sky is falling and there's no time for sober reflection.

Don't forget that we subsidized the destruction of the Democratic Candidate with our tax money. Just check Trey Gowdy's committee expenses which the RNC should now reimburse.

Sandy has the high road

For Williams points you could almost check off George Wallace in the 60s or Jeff Sessions in Alabama the last several Senate election cycles.

Proud of Dave Roberts for mentioning Trey Gowdy who I just saw championed on the Facebook wall of a woman who was the female citizen of the Month at Gaffney HS fall of 68

William could read 1924, the year that made Hitler. Long story short Bonhoeffer came to different conclusions than Thornton has here with comparable bullet points but I am notcalling everybody who voted for Trump a fascist Nazi, cause thay would include my own Beloved Brother who is soon to buy me a plate of the best bbq in the Southeast.

And Billy Tee, after a little time with the 1924 book, make time for a movie, Billy Lynn's Longhalftime Walk.

PS. Backto back on successive days on drshow.org this week you had Ken Burns, then the great Baptist of our time John Grisham talk about what is great about America, and here's a tip: It Aint Trump

If this is to be the ihatetrump forum for the next 4 years someone ought to serve up a bit of reality.

I'm out of coloring books. You guys may have to find a stray dog or cat to pet and calm yourselves.

However he did it, the misogynist, racist, xenophobic candidate won. That should give people pause. And not that he has won he is placing racists and xenophobes in positions of power. Sure Hillary wasn't our best possible choice for the Dems to run. But she was none of the above and would have done none of the above.
