    Seriously Trump will be bounced out of the primaries early. Unlike republicans we have brains and remember stuff.

    I don't know about Senor Hoint or ... NoNo or whatever, but my opinion of Hillary was never high - well, at least not since the mid 90s. Remember Eminence's huge hatred for me? That stemmed quite a bit from my dislike of Hillary.

    But, here's the thing about your statement. Hillary is no more corrupt than most other Washington politicians. She played a man's game a man's way and won. And you can bet the sexist pigs in the GOP did not like it one bit. Many even admitted before the election that the corruption charges against Hillary were set up to prevent her from becoming president. They started way back when she first ran for senator because they knew eventually, should would end up running for president.

    She lost the 2016 election. She won every other hurdle since the 90s.

    True enough. But the loss in 2016 is what everyone will remember.

    Yes, I know. I even agree with what you were saying before. People hated on Hillary so much because she's a woman, not because she's evil and corrupt above other politicians.
    She did make some unforced errors, but she had to fight a tremendous uphill battle against sexism.

    Hoint asks someone else to do the reasoning for him. It checks out.

    That a fat and rich society produces an excess of people who possess more time & money than sense?

    Jaws.

    Snatch defeat from the jaws victory.

    A twist on the phrase to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

    Jaws victory is Chris Christie floating in the ocean in one of those gigantic tires made for mining trucks.

    I suppose he could do try to switch parties but why?

    The reality is that Trump and the rest of the Democrats had no problems with each other in the years before he announced he was running for President. He took plenty of pictures with Democrats, shook hands, paid bri... I mean campaign donations, and in general hung out with the liberal side of America. He was not then nor now ever a conservative no matter what any leftist says today about him. Sure he met with Republicans and supported a few but by and large he wasn't really into politics.

    So after the absolute slagging he got from the Democrats in this campaign along with a personality that is revenge orientated I can not see him ever trying it.

    Now if he did it he'd lose. I can't see the Democrat voters supporting him. If he switched parties the Republicans would instantly burn him with leaks on everything he's done the last four years. He wouldn't make it past the first primary.

    So this is a scenario that could not happen.
