Trump Victory Prediction

No, because for most right-wing conservatives, standards/values are only used to hold other people accountable to. "Diversity" only matters when the person in-question belongs to the out group.

Ditto morality, family values, fiscal policy, national security, character, responsibility, law and order, intelligence, health, integrity, honesty, etc ad nauseum.

You're so precious.

Someone's feeling convicted.

I'm a fan of "the best person for the job", regardless of diversity. Always have been. "the content of their character, not the color of their skin". Or any other "diversity".



I'm an Independent.

Who among the 2000 candidates were you hoping would clinch the nomination?

Well, you don't need to - we all love you and understand.

Wow, I honestly don't remember who all ran... I do remember thinking Trump was a joke - that he would NEVER get the nomination.

But Ben Carson was my favorite.

How could you forget Alan Keyes from 2000? He was clearly the smartest of the bunch.

I liked him a lot. I just liked him more as a radio commentator.

[Whateverman]

Absolutely.

In the case of the GOP, it led to the defeat of Alan Keyes in favor of the rich white guy who invaded Iraq and did nothing to stop the 2008 crash.

Hmmm... Not to nitpick, but do you really think he was defeated because the Republicans didn't/don't value diversity?

In any case, thanks for reminding me of Keyes. Non-white-male Republicans don't get enough attention by "either" side.

Anybody But Trump.

Absolutely.

Actually, wasn't it 1996, 2000, and 2008?

[rogue06]

Um... noooo

ABT = Anybody But Trump
