2016 elections - because it's never too early

[Monoriu]

You're a Canadian so I think the assumption has always been in U.S. terms you'd be a Democrat, maybe a centrist Dem, but still a Dem.

I can't imagine what sort of ravening lunatic a Canadian would have to be, to be considered the equivalent of a US Republican these days. 

Isn't Ted Cruz Canadian?  If so there is no need to imagine

[Valmy]

Well he's got you there Malthus.

Cruz may have been born in Canada, but he ain't a Canadian right now.

True. And he sounds like a lunatic.

Calling the whole thing "insane," Steyn said, "The Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency will be the death of the republic and the complete descent into banana republic status."

Urgent: Do You Back Trump or Hillary? Vote Here Now!

[OttoVonBismarck]

I think Cruz, at least claimed, to have renounced his Canadian citizenship when he started his Presidential ambitions.

[derspiess]

True. And he sounds like a lunatic.

He has a cool accent, though.  Sounds like Bentley from The Jeffersons.

That reminds me: where's Neil been these days?

He has not posted regularly for years but he comes by from time to time.

Trump Calls on Russia to Hack and Release Clinton Emails

Yeah like I can't even imagine making this stuff up.

Misleading headline.  He was just being a smartass.

edit: what's way worse IMO is Trump refusing to state that Putin shouldn't meddle in this election.

[lustindarkness]

It will be even funnier when both Hillary and Trump get hacked and all their dirty laundry leaked.

[merithyn]

It took 12 years, but I finally found a post of yours that I truly respect.

I think Otto and Yi have always been the two conservatives on Languish you can have an interesting discussion with, without being bombarded with stupid fascist shit.

Meh, I don't like being called a fascist, either.

And I'm still trying to remember which Languish conservatives are anti free trade.  I do seem to recall someone here who is generally conservative being protectionist, but I can't remember who it was.

EDIT:  Ok, apparently that wasn't about anyone here.  Sure sounded like it, though.

I didn't call anyone a fascist. I was very specific in whom I was talking to, and it had nothing to do with his being conservative or otherwise.

Benedict Donald* is just really mad that the DNC is getting better ratings than his convention, so he's going full cray cray to get some of that sweet jazz back onto him. Brilliant stuff.
