Hilary said republicans are deplorable and irredeemable. Look up the definitions of those words. Again, not as vulgar as saying "scum", but of course she's expressing equal loathing for her opponents that Trump does, she's just using more elegant language. I don't give points for masking hate behind elegant language, perhaps you do.

John McCain and Mitt Romney are deplorable and irredeemable? Whatever...
Did she say all Repubs. where deplorable? And didn't Clinton apologize the very next day? You use that tired old insult repeatedly bc there are so few to use - Whatever.

She said half - tens of millions of people.

Yes she apologized. I was deeply moved, almost brought to tears. Nothing looks more like a sincere apology, than a politician apologizing for a scripted remark that the polls show bombers. It just reeks of sincerity and authenticity.

So few insults to use against her? I’d get carpel tunnel syndrome before I scratched the surface.

Let's have a little contest. I'll donate a $1 for every insult Clinton made and you donate $.25 for every insult Trump made and we'll net the 2 and the proceeds can be donated to charity.

Not sure he can afford it even with his bigger paycheck.

Should read he comments above again, ignore for a moment exactly how big the deplorable bucket is and Clinton was exactly right.

If you want to target the worst 1% or 2%, sure. Half? Nope.

Again, take the abortion issue. It's a whole lot easier to paint me as anti-woman, or anti-choice (which is beyond absurd), than it is to look at a hi-def ultrasound, and tell me that I'm not looking ta a human being.

When you are wrong on the facts and you know it, you avoid the truth like the plague, and sling mud.

The conservative platform:
life is precious

individual freedom is sacred

individuals are almost always responsible for their actions

charity for neighbors in need

strong national defense

support the free market, and the economic upward mobility it provides, which is a gift from God

fiscal responsibility

limited government, protection of individual rights

You can't make that wrong, you just can't. So you demonize it, again and again and again, until people assume it's true, but no one can explain why. If you ask why it's evil to believe these things, the answer you get is "because shut up!"

I don't doubt I'd lose that bet between those two.

But if you extended that bet to cover all politicians, all influential talking heads in the media, and college campuses? I'd be a trillionaire.

Paul, when Bush destroyed the democrats by implementing the Surge (which the Dems opposed, and which worked amazingly well, which made them look like idiots), that's when the democrats stopped talking like adults, and started hitting below the belt. It started with Bush Derangement Syndrome, and continued through the 2008 and 2012 elections.

The Democrats are very good at slinging mud and at yellow journalism, it propelled them to victory in 08 and 12. So it's no surprise that the GOP found someone who is quite at home fighting dirty, and who is what better at it than they are.

He is beating them, clobbering them, at their own game. And they are going berserk, because they have nothing left. If Trump woke up and said "two plus two is four", the entire media would say "the hell it is!!" That's how crazy they are.

The results speak for themselves, in terms of political victories and TV ratings. Couldn't be more clear.

Look at what liberalism has done to our state's economy. And the democrats want to raise taxes and spend more. Even in CT, people are waking up. The democrats lead in the house has decreased from 60+ seats to 7, and the senate is tied, and Malloy is a national laughingstock.

Compare that to Nashville and the Carolinas, where they literally cannot build $450,000 houses fast enough. People see it.
