2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

I was referring to your comment at the bottom. Thought you meant the voters.

No one cares about what Trump or his wife does. He could shoot someone on stage and still get 35% of the vote.

Yeah, but is your argument that people should care that she posed nude? Because if so, why? It has nothing to do with his presidency.

Certain religious individuals could be turned off by her posing nude. I don't personally care. There was a point in time where if shit like this happened it could end a campaign. The same way certain cheating allegations have seemingly ended campaigns. I don't think either of those things would affect Trump as much as they would affect Hilary or any of the previous GOP candidates. I've never understood why religious people that can't stand nudity for whatever reason.

All I know is I'll probably end up hearing how "us millennials" have destroyed Americas values, and be pointed to this as proof.

I will refer you to my bread and butter argument as to why Hillary is more honest than Bernie: Bernie's campaign revolved around selling people on the idea that he could change Washington.

^ This. Bernie's not honest. He's consistent. There's a big fucking difference.

Just looking on r/politics it's fascinating how CTR isn't even trying to hide it anymore.

A thread in regards to Trump not releasing his tax returns has a good 50 or more responses with variations of "He won't release them because it shows donations to NAMBLA, or so I've heard"

[Xno Kappa]

If anything he hasn't released them because it would show his donations to the military, something he constantly gloats about, is overstated.

I honestly don't care she posted nude. However, I do find it hypocritical of conservatives to bash Hillary for "not controlling her husband," but not the same of Trump.

I don't think either should be bashed because you don't own your partner, and I'll make sure to bring it up if a conservative ever brings up ol' Billy again.

[Andalusian girls]

there is a chasmic difference between a lifelong pattern of serial infidelity and some nude photo shoots done when she was a 20-something model, but i agree both lines of attack are silly season

[Tyrath]

But neither is the responsibility of the other partner so that difference is irrelevant.

Honestly if anything is hypocritical its the conservatives who normally flip out about nudity and that kind of behavior who will go on to support Trump anyway.

[Andalusian girls]

there is no moral failing in a nude figure. there is a massive moral failing in infidelity. the difference is relevant insofar as it is entirely disingenuous to even begin to establish an immoral equivalency between the two actions

and there is a much more obvious and accurate hypocrisy as Trump has admitted to having affairs

[Ksandra]

I disagree regarding the mindset of conservatives. Really. Think to yourself how conservatives would react if that was Michelle O.

and there is a much more obvious and accurate hypocrisy as Trump has admitted to having affairs

Agreed, however I have noticed when you bring THAT up, conservatives just don't respond to it. This is adding more kindle to the fire, rather than being the whole log.

[Ksandra]

It's probably worth listing her general untrustworthiness as well, since she seems incapable of telling the truth in more then a few areas.

Also, regarding Trump vs. Hillary, this is a worthless talking point, as Trump is easily just as untrustworthy or more. I can't imagine anyone voting for either based on that factor as they are a wash.

(You could argue her trusts if you were talking about her versus Bernie or w/w, but Byrth was strictly talking about Trump and Hillary.)
