Quote:If you're looking at the two parties from the outside, then you hold each individual to the fire for their choices. I don't care that Democratic campaign workers consider converting republican voters a lost cause. That doesn't change the fact that they voted for Bush, and that led to all manner of problems. By majority, Bush voters are responsible for voting in Bush.Majority? But more people voted for Gore, remember... millions more. Bush only won because Florida was razor-close and the Supreme Court voted 4-3 to stop counting votes there at a time when Bush was ahead in the recount, something which probably would not have held up. So yeah, the Supreme Court has the first responsibility for his presidency. But as for voters, I really do think it matters more that Gore couldn't get a few more votes in Florida than however many Bush got.
Quote:At any rate, back on topic, yes, the Republican party is the biggest joke of them all. Donald Trump recently has said he considers regret "unhealthy", which explains why he keeps making the same blunders over and over again. He can't learn from the past.Trump has said that he doesn't believe he's made any mistakes, or something like that, so yeah, that sounds about right. And here's hoping he keeps making mistakes all the way to a bad loss in November! Right now he's doing decently in the polls, while Hillary struggles, mostly because of recalcitrant liberals who refuse to support Hillary due to Bernie still not having given up. Over the next month we should see Hillary's numbers go up, as they finally admit to the reality that she is the nominee. And considering how ridiculously horrendous Trump is on almost every issue, it's incredibly important that that happens...
This is what the philosophy to "live in the moment" gets you, people!
