Or, you know, I can read statistics.
okay
I didn’t actually say one could. I said one couldn’t be worse than the Palin, nor even compare. Read my posts.
You going to answer my question, or just ask them?

I didn’t see anything too buffoonish from Trump in that, seemed if anything he presented himself much better than he has in the past. He deflected from the more complex issue of Turkey’s coup(winning issue for HRC) and kept bringing it back to the more gut wrenching Nice attacks(winning issue for Trump). He also walked back his Muslim Ban to a territorial ban which is much more palatable for his critics on the issue.
I suspect the Trump camp is going to keep on pushing the message of strength, if these horrendous terror attacks keep up and the current POTUS and HRC continue to timidly communicate the issue it’s going to make this campaign a lot closer than was previously thought. If HRC and Obama are being smart about the election they will commit to some heavy handed action and rhetoric against ISIS right before the election to pull the wind out Trump’s sails.

Sure. I actually stated my negative impression of the interview, and then you said it was actually a good interview… naturally I was curious as to why you thought so. Not sure why you NEED my reasoning to explain your own reasoning, but here is mine-
Trump came off as arrogantly ignorant with his Isis plan as he promised big things, but when pressed he contradicted himself on NATO, said we would send few troops and offered up turkey (military coup hello!) As the country to lead point.
Pence seemed like the intern that gets brought to a meeting way over his head, and Trump treated him as such. Way to much blatant sucking up, and obvious avoidance of questions in order to not step on trump’s toes.
The Iraq war Hilary once voted for… is now not an issue because pence voted for it too.
And his general lack of self control interrupting throughout the onterview
Ya know the part of my post you responded “okay” to? Yeah, that answered your question in detail actually.
I’m pretty sure most people are judging the interview relative to his normal presentation.
Expectations aren’t that high…
So if Trump confirmed your emotionally driven presentation needs then?
You might want to calm down with the whole pointing out whether others are objective thing:
A lot of subjectivity in there.
As they shouldn’t be lol. He’s the worst candidate to come along since, well Bernie Sanders.
People on the right seriously underestimate Sanders and the power of promising free stuff…
There wouldn’t be a chance in hell for Trump if he was up against Sanders in the general, short of maybe the prune juice kicking in during a debate

Wait, you’re saying my opinion is subjective? No way!
We all form opinions and whom you vote for is reasoned from opinions and facts. I am wondering what positive opinions and facts others gleaned from the interview.
I’m not arguing the commie would do well in a general, particularly against Trump.
I’m saying he’s a shit candidate with horrid “solutions” to “problems”.
Being a good candidate isn’t really synonymous with winning.
And yet, you felt the need to try and shit on me, because I used well reasoned opinion and facts to blatantly say “this is the assumption, IF true”… Which you obviously read as “you must be X because of Y.”
I figured that’s what you intended, there’s just a lot of people citing HRC as a week political candidate due to her struggles against Bernie. I’m certainly glad he lost the primary though, I’d rather not see our country jump on the fast track to democratic communism(lol).
If you hadn’t made up your mind already you wouldn’t have used the term “rabid lefty”. Or maybe you just enjoy devisive, polarizing terms… idk?
A simple, “do you generally identify with more liberal or conservative policies?” Is generally a good way to go about your line of questioning.
In anycase, no, I’m not a rabid lefty 
What do you think went well for Trump in the interview, if anything?
You mean the truth?
I don’t think anything good comes out of the Trump bid for POTUS, and therefore doubt any of that interview would strike me as “good” in the sense of “hey look at that idea”.
But in the sense of “good” in that “see, he isn’t nearly as bad as the rabid lefties try and shout about all the time” I’m sure there was plenty in the interview that was “good”.
I think Trump is an awful choice for POTUS, and will destroy the GOP if he hasn’t already. The GOP has a really bad messaging problem, and Trump’s mouth feeds into the lefty narrative…
Only “good” thing about that interview was it wasn’t Sanders

Truth? You actually think lots of liberals have rabies?
Idk bout you, but name calling never helped me close any deals or turn anybody to my way of thinking.
You’re young aren’t you?
This is politics. You don’t change minds. People either change on their own or dig in deeper.
I gave up trying to “change” anyone in my early 20’s.
You ever think that the reason there isn’t change is because only the young generation is open to it. The older generations have chosen to stop trying?
Being open to new ideas is a choice.
But, what I said was based more practically in the real world (jobs, relationships, etc) than political or philosophical ideology, though it absolutely applies-
If I wanted my girlfriend to bang me but she was tired, I certainly wouldn’t call her a lazy prude. If I was trying to sell an IT package to a company that was kinda cold on the idea, I wouldn’t call the CIO a stingy moron. If a conservative wanted a liberal to support gun rights, he probly shouldn’t call him a rabid lefty.

This is total horseshit, and you know it. Good lord. Being stubborn and hyper-partisan isn’t exclusive to any generation, nor is it any less proliferate in any generation. Young people aren’t anymore open minded than older people… They are just “open minded” about different things.
lmao @ thinking I don’t get this, and how I communicate on a politics board is how I communicate in the outside world.
Whew lad, share what you’re smoking please.
A significant portion of political discussion in this country occurs on the internet… maybe you should start communicating in your “real world” way online so that you stop fomenting the divisive language and arguments that are so prevalent.
To me, it sounds like you’ve kinda given up.
Here’s a tip kid. If you’re going to start throwing around words like arrogant then display some empathy and have a think about how posting a little bitch comment wrapped in moral high ground is going to make you seem.
