Michael Moore? @MMFlint
Trump's comment that Hillary's "heart is filled with hate" was one of his biggest lies. Say what u will, I think her heart is full of love.

Michael Moore? @MMFlint
Is anyone else depressed by this tonight. Trump is a sick fuck. I could use stronger language but won't.

Agree w/ Van Jones: Never has a candidate threatened to jail his opponent. This happens in dictatorships. Scariest man ever to run for WH.

Mon Oct 10, 2016, 08:01 AM

President Obama "doesn't try and reach out across the aisle".

For those who were living in a cave, what this election has demonstrated is just how sexist, and misogynistic they are, by their not so subtle comments on how "Hillary is shrill, never smiles, looks angry, etc". The double standard is pathetic and blatant.

They have also gone out of their way to give not only Trump a free pass on his blatant racism, but to give that same free pass to the republicans in their treatment of President Obama for the past eight years.

He should be at whatever percentage that there are self-admitted "deplorable" and not a percent higher! She should win by 50 points.

Trump can not I repeat can not become president. He has no understanding of our Republican and thinks he would be dicatator in chief and maybe he would too.

I think he was doing his new one man show in Ohio this weekend--taping it--with the thought of having it shown prior to the election.

He was on Bill Maher around the time of the conventions and said to Bill that the two of them had to do everything possible to stop Trump.

I do quibble with your user name. Democrats are generally positive and the user name doesn't seem to fit in here. Since it is so early in your posting career it might be simplest and best to re-register with a different name.

The denials and the disavowals don't mean shit if he's still running on their nickle and still their candidate while he does his nasty hateful dance. IF the GOP had any integrity left at all they would have removed him as impaired and dangerous. The news media bears the same guilt. Shame on both their houses.

I think Trump was trying to bait her into a discussion about
rule of law. She sidestepped nicely. If she had implied the same
about his taxes, or potential piles of problems for him from the
videos that keep surfacing, he would have further attacked Bill,
or Benghazi, or reached further back into history.

Hillary was well prepped and thought well on her feet. He was a
lurking, inwardly incensed pile of negative emotions. Body language
said it all.

and can make his points in his own chosen ways. He's more than earned the right to do that, and I am a long-time fan of his polemic style of debate. Things are really wrong, people are really being hurt, and no one displays the urgency and importance of this, and the care that we need to spend fixing it, than Michael Moore.

Pretending satire is attention-seeking is irrational. Understanding both context and nuance before we type assists us in looking less educated than the case may be.

The context of his remarks was how they immediately got him called into Sunday morning and cable news shows to have the camera pointed at himself. "Nuance" wanted nothing to do with Moore, which is why his comments are so ham-fisted and ridiculous.
