I get the impression lots of people enjoy voting for Trump simply for the lulz. They get a kick out of seeing the usual suspects in the media and other establishment types freaking out about it.

Problem is, at the end of the day being president is a job, and there is no indication that Trump would be anything but a disaster at doing it. Is that worth a few laughs?

I think it's more a middle finger than "the lulz". As with most of its social problems (like Black Lives Matter), America is living out its class conflict through other means - in this case the cultural wars, which are pitting the white middle class (which is the side represented by the leftist / feminist establishment) against the white working class (which is largely demonised as racist, chauvinistic, homophobic rednecks*). In modern West white women have a much better chance of upward social mobility than white men, to the extent this is actually creating a class divide between genders.

*Notice that while Trump is being considered beyond the pale by calling Mexicans rapists, it is perfectly fine to talk about the "rape culture" among white males, for example in colleges.

How brave of him ;)

The guy is basically a midget but managed to marry an NFL cheerleader. He must have some game.

Rubio met and dated his future wife when he was in college.  She was still in high school...

My opinion of the party of Abraham Lincoln has taken a hit as well.  Not that it matters, of course.
Republicans are the party of Southern Democrats now in all but the name.

Good God, I'm now seeing that "Drumpf" shit all over the Internet comments.  Nothing signifies free spirit in the modern ages quite like becoming part of the manufactured viral movement.

That is kind of creepy.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

He's just 2 years older than her. That happened a lot when I was in high school; girls dating college boys that were a couple years older than them. Not a big deal.

I want to vote for Rick Grimes. :(

I think I should also vote for an outsider, not a politician. I will change my vote from Rick Grimes to Wade Winston Wilson, Deadpool for President 2016!

I off to my polling place in an hour. Decided to opt in for in-person rather than just mailing it in. :swiss:
