See, cucks like BB actually make me want Trump wins.  :lol:

This is a killer line.  The first five times you said it I didn't see it, but now I do.

The sunrise makes you want Trump to win.  It's Troll attraction.

Quotea National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.

What does this mean in English?  That someone claimed to have seen a picture?

There's a known picture of Oswald beside a man the Warren Commission couldn't identify.  The National Enquirer looked at the picture and decided that man looks like Rafael Cruz.



Of course "looks like" is a hell of a lot different than "is".  And even if it was, "standing beside Lee Harvey Oswald for a photo in 1963" is a hell of a lot different than "helped Oswald with the assassination".

#NoHillary

Well her opponents either advance policies that would destroy the country or would raise taxes cripplingly. She is the only sane candidate. It reflects poorly on you to be so out of touch with the state of the country -_-

Reflects poorly on you to pretend there is anything positive about her.

I think at this point it's a matter of degrees and damage control.

It does?  No matter her personal qualities, she advocates policies that are beneficial rather than highly damaging for a country.  Surely that counts for enough to go over the "anything positive" threshold?

Is Marti still using the word "kind and sensitive person"?
Good grief.

I don't pretend that. I simply recognize policies that make sense. Cutting taxes so much that we would have to disband the entire US military to be able to equal the current budget deficit is not. Dramatically raising taxes to pay for a bunch of new social programs when we cannot even afford the ones we have now is not. This is logical and common sense. Do you disagree?

Which is why I'm voting third party #cleanhands

Only if you believe her policy positions are beneficial.  Which I don't.

If Trump wins, will you be able to face your maker on Judgement Day and explain that vote?

Neither do I.  But her bad proposals are modest enough, and she's corrupt enough to the entrenched interests, that I think she'd be less damaging than Trump to US interests.

So, by extending the logical chain, it reflects badly on you if you think her policy positions are beneficial?
