trying to tear down nate silvers data is the most beta thing ever.  high value males don't concern themselves with what others do.

Yes, following what others tell you in a course you have to pay for is the alpha way.

I'm embarrassed to say that post was when I finally realized stunz was trolling with the studying Internet stuff to be macho thing. I'm a combo of embarrassed and relieved.

a quick hitler salute and on about your business is always appropriate.

good summation.

Could have been better. Seized onto a few things that are silly made up issues, like the line about "punishing women who have abortions" which originally stemmed from a hypothetical question posed where abortion was illegal.  Trump does and says so much ridiculous stupid crap that I get mad when people feel the need to drum up non-issues

I understand what you're saying, but the specific example of punishing women for abortions is a valid criticism because it speaks to thought process and mindset he's going to bring to a presidency. It may have been a hypothetical question, but it was't unrealistic given the amount of justices that will be appointed in the next decade.

Honestly, if we are going to make abortion illegal, it's sort of stupid to me that you wouldn't punish the mother. Isn't the whole argument for making it illegal that it's murder?

No, that's disingenuous.  He was asked that if abortion was a crime, should the woman be punished. Yes is the obviously correct answer to that question. Finding Trump's stance on the legality of abortion objectionable is fair game. Trump saying that people who commit a crime should be punished is not a problem for a rational person.

Only read the first two paragraphs, but you could have substituted b.o. for trump and nobody would know the difference.

Yeah, I guess thinking about it a little more I might agree with you. Though the vast majority of anti-abortion people (many of whom are rational) aren't in favor of punishing the mother either.

it's a logically consistent position that is completely unpalatable to the majority of people on both sides of the abortion debate.  to be fair to the logically inconsistent, there are good practical reasons for not punishing women who have abortions, in addition to the political considerations.
