The Next President of the United States: IV

I doubt that very much, but I don’t for a moment doubt that the only one not getting laid is you.

Or, put another way, your posts indicate to a moral certainty that an accurate description of your romantic/sexual life lies somewhere between “tragedy” and “comedy” – not that this has anything to do with what’s objectionable about the fact that your MRA is showing (…you benthic little loser).

Isn’t it interesting this SMH guy works in the middle east around brown skinned people and he’s overtly infatuated with my sexuality?

Dude I’m not interested in fucking you, go find someone else to play sodom and gomorrah

In other words, “SMH is teh gay?”

How lucky Trump is to have such a commander of wit as you on his Muppet Squad.

Thread implosion in 3…2…1…

Yes. That doesn’t change the fact that similar to most undergrads in ALL majors except perhaps engineering don’t know what they are doing or how to think.

Again, not talking about undergrads. PhDs. Different ballgame, different league. There is no doubt that I have met my share of lackluster PhDs even in biochemistry. There is also no doubt that these lackluster PhDs can think on a different level than undergrads and can learn, teach themselves, and analyze subjects effectively.

The fact you don’t LIKE them doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable. Similarly the fact I don’t LIKE psychology doesn’t mean it is not valuable field of study.

oh boy

Here is the logic. We know Hillary, we don’t know Trump. We know if Hillary wins, she will have explosive diarrhea on the constitution. If Trump wins he will probably shit on the constitution, but we aren’t sure if it will be post burrito night mud butt or not. We know he isn’t a conservative. The choice is the lesser of two Democrats (or third party).

This line of thinking continues to confound. Between the two - Hillary and Trump - who has indicated more autocratic tendencies and designs?

Hillary will further ensconce abortion rights? Trump wants to restrict the First Amendment so critics can be retaliated against. And so forth.

Yeah that isn’t true. At all. We may have learned more about Donald Trump in the last year than we’ve ever learned about anyone in a comparable period of time, ever.

We’ve learned all about Article XII of the Constitution. We’ve learned that Trump has words – he has the best words. We’ve learned that Putin will not be going into Ukraine. We’ve learned that we have to be extremely careful “when it comes to nuclear.” We’ve learned that the New York Times doesn’t “write good.” The list goes on and on.

Did you read the article? This was all in response to the article.

Yes. And? You said one candidate was clearly better on “the constitution” (not the same as policy). I said, not exactly - see Trump’s statements and positions.

So, am I wrong?

So you understand I am referencing the author and not explaining my own views on the race? USMC asked about the logic behind it and I am trying to explain it.

I really just meant the logic behind Trump being a conservative. I can see how that was confusing, though. My bad.

Ok. To be clear, then, I don’t see the logic In the author’s approach.

He has all kinds of conservative stuff going on. He’s rich. He has his hair parted on the side, wears suits, hates poor people, owns golf courses.

He’s the poster boy for the 1%, which by default makes him like uber-conservative.

Yeah, hes not. I think many who know that and are still voting Trump just think he is the only chance to not push the country over the edge in the next four years. To agree you have to believe that four years of Hillary will be disastrous, like a complete unraveling, and hope four years of Trump will not be.

I was hoping Zeb would see that article because I really feel this is where he is at.

Given your shit understanding of basic domestic and international politics, it’s clear you could stand to benefit from studying some political science. Your implacable stupidity would make that a fool’s errand, I’m afraid.

Never market facing? Your ostensible study of finance/economics became even more dubious. Top Ph. D. programs are extremely competitive. Most programs require 5-7 years of painstaking application. It’s the intellectual equivalent of waking each morning to wrestle a bear. The competition for Full-time (and increasingly, adjunct) positions is even more intense. Even then, employed political scientists working in an academic setting are required to complete grueling, rigorous research in order to retain and advance their positions within their discipline.

Your caricature of academics is exactly what has gone wrong with the Republican Party. Virulent anti-intellectualism has led to Trump, a presidential candidate that is as close to a dictator that America has ever faced. It’s truly now the stupid party, to the detriment of the immense value that internationalist Republicans are capable of bringing to the table. I recall Mussolini depicted scholars in much the same way as you are limply attempting to do here.

Again, anyone who has spent anytime in defense of intelligence circles knows that you are categorically full of shit. Policy makers are informed directly or indirectly by policy relevant political science, particularly in the subfields of strategic and security studies. Political scientists have served with distinction in government, down range in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in the private sector consulting clients public and private. Their impact on the national interest may not be as tangible as that of practitioners of hard science, but they have clearly and profoundly shaped the world as we know it.

As far as this leftist myth, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Unlike domestic affairs, there is a remarkable degree of congruence among foreign policy and national security wonks on both sides of the political aisle. One doesn’t need to look further than the nearly universal condemnation of Trump from both camps of the American foreign policy establishment.

Perhaps he really isn’t in the top 1% as repeated here and elsewhere

Unter-Conservative instead

Trump was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Trump wird die Arbeitsstelle nicht bekommen. Während des Interviews hat er sich zum Affen gemacht. Er redet nur Quatsch. Er ist dumm wie Bohnenstroh.
