I'm pretty sure Scott Adams is not a Trump supporter.

To be fair though that's not the case on here. On CP, she doesn't really need the defense because for the most part people see through the crap, conspiracy theories and over the top allegations, and even those that don't are more Bernie crazies than Trump crazies.

Damn, you're right. I totally forgot about him claiming Iowa was rigged because Ted Cruz won it. But sure, someone objective would say that. Please....

I can't believe people have good things to say about this speech.

The guy is standing up against complaints about Islam.

Meanwhile, his wife is standing behind him wearing a headscarf, completely silenced.

Bad optics, obviously. But probably more than that, too.

I know, I just pine for the days of decent, hardworking posters like tower and mikey who would actually address when their BS logic was called out instead of just moving on to the next topic like nothing happened. I'm probably romanticising the past though. *Single tear*

Are you referring to me?

I address peoples' posts all of the time. Maybe I haven't addressed any of yours? I'm not sure, I don't recognize your name. If I don't respond, you probably haven't said anything of interest.

I was hoping they would try to make a stance against terrorism, rather than playing the victim card. This is what's wrong with Islam in the west. Disappointing.

I think people just recognize that Trump is a ##### who has never sacrificed anything for his country and could not hold that Muslim man's son's jockstrap.

Well with peter12s trolling game falling off a cliff of late, we need someone to fill the void. Buster has proven quite effective so far, if slightly obvious.

Sanders had a great chance to win the Democratic nomination, but Hillary and her DNC cronies made sure they smeared him and put up as many roadblocks as possible so that he doesn't win. Now they have successfully maneuvered the Hillary campaign into the conversation as the 'better than Trump' which is obviously is, and people will go for it. Does it make her a good candidate? No, she is the same only corrupt Hillary are before. But at this point, at least she isn't Trump.

I am glad I live in Canada, where our PM of 10 years at least wasn't a corrupt, manipulating liar like the next POTUS will be.
Long live Jean Chretien, 10 great years. Honest as the day is long, did not try to manipulate public fears with bogus crap like "barbaric practices phone lines", did not throw out 90K to Senators to cover up problems, I agree Chretien was the best.

It's a good idea to listen to Scott Adams, notable misogynist and MRA.

Yeah, I'm curious as to why I should take the dude who drew Dilbert any more seriously than any other vapid celebrity's political rants.

His comments on Trump's persuasion skills are very perceptive. As a trained hypnotist, I think he offers a good perspective into why Trump is leading the race despite the myriad of reasons he's not qualified for the role. He is one of the few people who have recognized what is happening and it would be foolish to dismiss these insights.
