[QUOTE=Higgo;6235041]No offence but your post is a jumbled up mess. If you are going to criticise someone’s cognitive impairment at least made an effort to make a lucid argument in relation to it. Your contribution is a disaster
Its not a jumbled up mess at all its just a quick post on hibs.net You just saw someone else criticise me then jumped on the bandwagon..
That's the spirit. Take a bit of care for The Queen, but don't bother for hibs.netters. What with her having blue blood and that.Quote:

:agree: The Ralph Nader effect. Vote Ralph, get George W. How was that a sensible vote for protecting the environment? :doh:Quote:

There’s no chance the DP will make any changes to the candidature at this point.
I agree and disagree. I think Cuomo has massive name recognition and has the factor that his father was a key figure in the Democratic Party and was always expected to run himself. There is a machine within the machine that would support Cuomo.Quote:

He is no youngster though, and has had his health concerns. I think he can seal the deal at the convention but I also think that Cuomo could potentially win a floor vote. Caution was what stopped his father challenging Clinton. There is something Shakespearean in all this!
Take your point about vetting but also note that Cuomo will have been scrutinised to the nth degree already and Biden has faced allegations, albeit lame, over the last few months
​Sadly for you it WAS a jumbled up mess and you were rightly called out for it, that happens when you make a **** of yourself, a bit like Trump does on an almost daily basis.Quote:

Federal militarised police vs redneck local cops. It’s like Mississippi Burning all over again, except the feds are now the bad guys 40 years on.Quote:

I'm pretty sure polls were saying similar in 2016 and we all know how that went.Quote:

Polls in 2016 were nothing like they are now.Quote:

This is one example of how his predecessor dealt with substantial racial tension, after the Charleston shootings. You simply can’t see how Trump would ever behave like that.Quote:

Wow. If that comes to pass it must be up there in the record books in terms of scale of defeats no?Quote:

I am cautiously optimistic. Reagan owns it in recent decades in my opinion. He wiped the floor with Carter and then Mondale in the scale of electoral college votes..Quote:

One day a comprehensive biography of Trump will be written, detailing his entire life of perfidy (step forward David Cay Johnston) when all who support him now will no doubt distance themselves and plead ignorance. There is no such defence, given the countless warnings provided. There is no need for hindsight here; Trump's nefarious existence is known to the world. I only hope he represents the end of all that is pernicious in America, in a final act of desperate defiance, and not the beginning of a darker chapter. One can't help but feel it could go either way; we can only hope his plea to ignorance and intolerance is a manifestation of the death knell of his ilk. Yes, hate is a strong word, but I truly hate Trump and his demagoguery.
Almost unbelievable he would say that. Totally believable he would lie about it.Quote:

Nobody going to mention that Kanye West speech!?

Apparently that's his answer to 'solving' abortion.
Yup totally lost the plot.... that speech was just nuts. I still think trumps a better candidate than West or biden.Quote:
