Seriously I guess we're mindwiping the last 3 decades, but a huge debate among the more academic wings of the internet politics argument has been whether the GOP base was racist for being furious about Obamaphones and union thugs or whether their adherence to SOLID FISCAL CONSERVATIVE values just happened to make them commit domestic terrorism over LGBT bathroom policies

Like the whole false consciousness/voting against class interests debate, a common refrain of internet snarktard libs was that the GOP was selling their base anti-gay and anti-black rhetoric to advance their real interests of low capital taxes and right to work, that nobody really supported that bull**** and it was a huge snowjob.

Well. It's June 11th, 2016. Trump was kind enough to run an empirical test of that for us.

95% chance you started to type "racist" then changed it to "ridiculous".

If you say it vociferously enough it might come true! Also you forgot to compliment Ins0 on his alpha virility.

Well you are ****ed then because the one thing those guys have in problem is they are all more popular than conervativism. Your boy Scott Walker is 1/100 as popular as any of those people

I love how LetsGambool comes in here, brimming with confidence, oozing with testosterone, and just ****ing nails it. Ram your hot throbbing logic down InsO's throat LG!

I would love for you to explain how conservatives have acted as liberal lite.

Didn't shut down the government for good, didn't vet Obama, let Hillary off for Benghazi without even an investigation, can't open carry at preschools, didn't abolish teaching of evolution, etc. People are FED UP with broken promises.

Fast and Furious!!!!

Maybe it was when they passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

Ebola! Keystone! Gas prices!

Maybe it was the 14th amendment.

Not to get dragged into BernieBroism again, but he's not really much older than Trump or Clinton. Does dying your hair and a massive insane combover really fool people?

According to Ann Coulter it was the 19th.

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives made fun of politicians for making up life harrowing incidents involving air travel.

Are you sure she does? Probably a little. Just like most people do a little. I know that the doctors without borders do. And probably Ben Carson. But when your claim to fame and riches depends on your purported caring about people it makes me a little skeptical.

I've listened to her talk a good bit, especially going back to the debates in 2008 and this year with Bernie Sanders. She comes across as someone who legitimately cares about things like civil rights and economic inequality. I voted for Bernie Sanders because I believe our government needs a major overhaul, not incremental progress. But I'll gladly support Clinton in the general for many reasons, and one is yes I do believe she's genuine.

I think she cares about doing the right thing. She also cares a lot about winning, as all politicians do. Obama is a politician, and I believe he cares about me too. He's certainly more charismatic than she is. I'm sure I'll have many of the same problems with her that I do with Obama. She's not going to have the most transparent administration, and she'll probably continue horrible stuff like going after whistleblowers and keeping people locked up for years without a trial. But Trump has the potential to be so much worse on these issues. He has an ugly authoritarian side and I think it's a real danger to the world.

"After narrowly escaping financial ruin in the early 1990s by delaying payments on his debts, Mr. Trump avoided a second potential crisis by taking his casinos public and shifting the risk to stockholders.

And he never was able to draw in enough gamblers to support all of the borrowing. During a decade when other casinos here thrived, Mr. Trump’s lagged, posting huge losses year after year. Stock and bondholders lost more than $1.5 billion.

All the while, Mr. Trump received copious amounts for himself, with the help of a compliant board. In one instance, The Times found, Mr. Trump pulled more than $1 million from his failing public company, describing the transaction in securities filings in ways that may have been illegal, according to legal experts.

Mr. Trump now says that he left Atlantic City at the perfect time. The record, however, shows that he struggled to hang on to his casinos years after the city had peaked, and failed only because his investors no longer wanted him in a management role."

Great Businessman (and certainly not a fraud)! Will run America like he ran(runs?) his business empire.

Maybe the true Conservatives are still fuming over the Americans with Disabilities Act.

"Not everyone agreed. Mr. Trump’s longtime investment bankers at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette had backed out of a deal with Mr. Trump to invest in the company shortly before the bankruptcy was filed. Suing for $26 million in fees, the bankers said in court papers that the casinos would be back in bankruptcy court within five years because Mr. Trump’s revenue projections were too rosy and the company was still carrying too much debt.

“The Trump name does not connote high-quality amenities and first-class service in the casino industry,” lawyers for the investment bank said. “Rather,” the Trump name is associated with “the failure to pay one’s debts, a company that has lost money every year, and properties in need of significant deferred maintenance and lagging behind their competitors.” (The dispute was later settled.)"

I didn't realize Trump had been roasted. It was 2011. The one topic he vetoed was any claim he had less money than he says.

That's funny.
