He acts like if Hillary doesn't win the election then the entire world is completely doomed and if she does win America will be a wondrous place of dreams coming true and freedom and unity for all. What a joke. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you should berate them and talk to/about them like they are senseless morons. I have mad respect for Daniel's poker game but his outspokenness on politics has got to go. You aren't accomplishing anything or changing anyone's opinion on who to vote for with any of your closed-minded tweets, so just give it a rest and go back to being a poker player so we all can be fans again. You earned fans with your play and your conduct on and off the felt, it is time to keep them by dropping the issue and showing some respect to people who have a difference in opinion or different view of the world that you have. About 50% of people in America will not agree with his liberal agenda and will be angered by his constant outspoken opinions, not that he seems to care but it really isn't a good PR move or way to act in general for a public figure. I call for Daniel to stop tweeting about the election and go back to being the likable poker professional that we all respect for his talent and for his conduct.
Yeah but that 50% of America is just flat out wrong. No need to hear the reasons behind their opinions. They are just wrong. And it makes me angry how wrong they are. It's so obvious, why can't you just see things the same way I do? Why aren't issues approached at the same angle as me? With the same values as I have? Anybody who doesn't see things the way I do, you are just blind, ignorant, and wrong.

I bet I can be a better president than both those fools. Oh and while we're on the subject. Wtf is that Toronto maple leaf management team and coaches doing? Hire me and I'll run that team straight to the Stanley cup. Idiots.

I'm not a trump or Clinton fan. I just don't like how smug dnegs is and how he thinks his opinion is better than everyone else's

And I'm not supporting Hillary either fyi.
Agree

DN is smug and no where near as intelligent as he thinks he is*

*Any professional poker player (especially one that reps an online site) that goes out of his way to become an American citizen and thus subject to taxation on world-wide income -- regardless of residency -- is just plain dumb. It appears his wannabe nature overcame what little good sense he had.

If you don't like what he posts start your own blog and voice your opinion. Oh wait that won't work because nobody cares what you think so nobody will read it. But now that we've established that nobody cares what you all think, shut up and he'll continue to post what he wants on his twitter and blog.

So opinions of those on the Left cannot be criticized or challenged because those espousing such views are too weak-minded and insecure to allow the thought that they are incorrect to even be considered. Ok, got it.

He can post what he wants in a public forum, but as long as he allows replies he should be prepared for people to tell him that his is dumb or smug or insufferable; especially, when such is the case from any objective reading of much of what he has tweeted.

i mean at this point its pretty clear dnegs is a self-serving pos wrt his stance in the poker community.

Numerous opportunities to change the direction amaya is going with stars, always saying he's for the players etc. Not sure why anyone would listen to anything he says really, at this point his rep for me is just killed.

1. DN is clearly great for poker.
2. He was just as clearly out of line with the tweet, which was in bad form.
3. The trump supporters who are outraged that he would make fun of someones previous problems (disability) should click the link bellow:

God I hope this is a level. "It's obvious, why can't you see things my way? Anybody who doesn't see it my way is wrong!" Tell me you aren't serious with ridiculous statements like that. Republicans and Democrats both think this about the other side and have a list of reasons why. I have voted Democrat, Republican and Libertarian/Independent in the past, and I do it because I support the candidate and like what they bring to the table, not because of allegiance to a party. This year I like bringing jobs back to America, strengthening the military and charging other countries to protect them. I like winning in trade for once and getting out of this ridiculous debt that democrats added 11 trillion to in the last 8 years. And I strongly dislike the democratic candidate for a list of reasons too long to list in a poker forum. The point is everyone has an opinion and thinks they are right, but only some feel the need to use their status and following to berate people who disagree. I don't even like listing reasons I like Trump like I just did, I would rather remain quiet and let liberals have their opinion that they are entitled to have and not argue or start a conflict. They deserve their opinion and I can understand why people would take the "safe bet" and go with Hillary. If you liked the last 8 years and/or liked the Clinton administration and like her experience then vote for her. I just think a non-politician makes more sense when you look at the job that politicians have done lately and look at the fact that HC has been in power for years and has had her opportunity to make a difference. Daniel is a well-liked poker pro and as an ambassador to the game that includes many Trump supporters he should refrain from taking every possible opportunity to bash them. They aren't idiots, just think differently and analyzed the situation differently than you do. I can understand both sides, he should too.

Very effective point - "no one cares what you think, so shut up!" Wow, hard to counter that strong argument.

Does everything always have to be about "Left" and "Right"?

A level would imply he was trying to fool people. I read it as pretty obvious satire, with a second paragraph of even more obvious satire in case it was missed in the first paragraph.

Or maybe I'm being leveled now, IDK.

Negreanu has been trying to put Matusow down with cheap shots on pretty much any TV poker game I have seen....absolute **** of a man. Really should look at himself in the mirror before he judges everybody and everything around him.

Same play he would use vs Mason. He would hunt for any reason to take a cheep shot. The fact that the item he was jumping on was false didn't matter. Daniel's own words when called out for repeating false information were something along the lines of "Facts don't matter, I just don't like you".

PokerStars would've already fired any other sponsored poker player for the kind of vile, hateful and insulting remarks that Daniel routinely and publicly makes, and Stars has indeed fired its sponsored players for much much less.

Writing on twitter that "Doyle hates blacks, gays and muslims". Are you kidding me? Is Stars & WSOP just going to ignore conduct like that? Matusow "is still on buckets of pills". Another classy public remark by Stars frontman and WSOP commentator.

Daniel is so bitter these days, I don't know what's going on with him, although seeing him this summer with the sagging man-boobs, protruding pot-belly and chicken leg arms after investing so much time into P90X surely can't make one feel good about themselves.

It wasn't a level. I thought I was being obviously sarcastic but I guess it wasn't that obvious.

Judging by his timeline Daniel is a cliche wimpy effeminate hyperprogressive smug libtard. And those comments lashing out at Mike are really disgusting. There are no good guys in poker. Everyone is a scumbag.

Please realize that FANS made Daniel into the superstar celebrity that he is today. He is totally okay with insulted and hated on these fans simply because they are not voting for the same person as Daniel..... How can Pokerstars allow this in an ambassador. How can Poker Productions/ESPN allow a host reporter to act this way on social media.

Also, Hate is not taught at Choice Center. Agree or disagree with the concept of Choice Center, but there is no way he is representing them in the manner in which they teach.

Everything Daniel hates in Trump supporters and his own Dnegs fans that support Trump, Daniel possesses in character traits that he is showing his own loyal fans.

As for his tweet mocking Mike's addiction and mental illness. He is not only mocking Mike but all who have mental illness and addictions. Can you imagine if Trump did this to a friend. The outrage, etc.

Yes I am upset as no one is calling Daniel out for the hate and division he is causing. He has over 10,000 followers. It only takes one of his more radical followers to act out on the hate Daniel is spewing before something violent happens (and that will be so sad).

How can the poker community be okay with all of this.

Flame away on me all you want. But think about it. Daniel is always hating on someone at some point in his time. Now it is an obsession with hating Trump and now crossed over into hating Dnegs own fans that simply may vote differently from him.
Is dnegs an illegal alien who can not vote?
