What disgusts me are people who either deny truth or lie to themselves and others in order to justify the bad stuff they are willing to vote for out of sheer fear and desperation.

Fear and desperation are BAD GUIDES for important decisions, trebb. They always have been, and they always will be.

It is plain and obvious that for conservatives and for America, Trump is a very bad risk. People who vote for bad risks are ONLY showing their support for bad, stupid "leadership."

Funny how so many can see how Trump's a bad risk (and many of them have "concerns" about Cruz too) but are so deluded in their own little worlds that they still don't understand how much damage was done by giving Obama a second term or how it would be compounded by letting Hillary in the door.

My mind has trouble grasping how so many think that it's better to put our heads in the guillotine so we don't have to suffer a stubbed toe.

And they think folks like me are the problem.

Question - how much more speed should we allow don this slope before saying enough? We already know that w/o a "pushy and brash" President (only Cruz and Trump fit that bill) the Congress is useless no matter how much of a majority we have - the WH is our only chance to get things even a little bit turned around.

But, alas, I speak to deaf ears plugged with smug "there, there, we have a plan that will really work" tripe (reminds me of Obama's plan to beat terrorism while reality aids and abets the bad guys), and counsel that even the slightest flaw is reason for a declaration of "unclean".

Perhaps you ain't noticed it yet, but the last 8 years are what happens when we can't accept a few flaws and when we react (as you claim for folks like me) "fear and desperation". I think it's more sane to feel more fear and desperation over a Hillary (or Sanders) than over a Trump (or Cruz).

Pogo had it right......
