Donald Trump Voters, Just Hear Me Out

New York Times ^ | NOV. 2, 2016 | Thomas L. Friedman

This is my last column until after the election, so I’d like to address the people least likely to read it: Donald Trump voters. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and a few of them will buy fish wrapped in this column, and they’ll accidentally peruse it! Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[treetopsandroofs]

The hateful #NeverTrump FReaks who weren’t leftist plants could never figure that out.

[tgusa]

Too late, Tom, I already voted. For Trump. Too bad I’m not dead, so I could have voted 3 or 4 times.

[Iscool]

This wasn’t written to Trump supporters...This was written to commie liberals to convince them that we Trump supporters are just as ignorant on the issues as they are to the end that they have a legitimate opinion on the issues...

[ScottinVA]

Trump is not only a flawed politician, he’s an indecent human being. He’s boasted of assaulting women — prompting 11 to come forward to testify that he did just that to them; his defense is that he could not have assaulted these women because they weren’t pretty enough.

Yo, Screedman... NOTHING you can list about Trump's shortcomings reaches the level of this simple, but impactful threshold: None of Donald Trump's words or actions have resulted in the deaths of innocent Americans. Ever.

[CapitalistCrusader]

Apparently Friedman only reads the New York Times.

He’s the quintessential condescending, elitist, snob.

[Gaffer]

There’s way to much of this kind of article being posted her “so we can know what they are up to”. And so much time gets spent on refuting things about Trump that are lied about.

I’d much prefer more new verifiable information about Hillary’s corruptness than defending Trump all the time.

[trebb]

Trump is real.

None of us is perfect and most have done similar to the worst he may have ever done.

He touches us at a visceral level which is why he has garnered such enthusiastic support.

[Gay State Conservative]

It sounds like Tom is saying that he's smarter than me *and* better than me.But then Tom *did* make his money the old fashioned way:

HE MARRIED IT

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

a husband who lacks discipline when it comes to moneymaking and women

RAPE is "lacking discipline"? Holy cow, this guy is demented.

[tomkat]

Hopefully Freidman will be amongst the host of dhimmicrat suicides next Tue night.

[ScottinVA]

While Clinton has failed to inspire, her instincts and ideas will keep us hewing to basically the right course. And however great her flaws, she is still in the zone of human decency.

LMAO!!!!! Maybe I'm misunderstanding Screedman... apparently he's a comedy writer with a fine flair for satire.

[NohSpinZone]

Delusional. As if we’re going to listen to this commie bastard. It’s so insulting.

[MNJohnnie]

Mr Thomas L. Friedman

Who is more dangerous? A crude, lewd bombastic President facing a hostile Press and a suspicious Congress/Judiciary or a corrupt, lawless, bribe-able President with a slavishly adoring Press and a lap dog Congress/Judiciary?

For just this ONE TIME in you Life Mr Friedman, THINK before you vote.

[Oratam]

Bingo!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He’s boasted of assaulting women..

If I recall, Trump said on that tape that the women LET him...So now consent is sexual assault?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

"The lesser of two evils is still evil and when I'm woken up at 3 AM by sound of UN blue helmets kicking down my front door to take my guns, my bible and my non-electric car at the behest of Comrade Premier Clinton, I'll be able to roll over and sleep peacefully, knowing that I didn't help a man who said rude things get into the White House."

I know people who still hold that attitude.

[miss marmelstein]

Tom Friedman: hot, flat and stupid as always.

All over Facebook obnoxious liberals are attempting to “reach out” to Trump supporters - you know, appealing to our better angels to reject the KKK-loving Trump. Why are they so frightened?

[Paladin2]

Freidman coould easily be replaced by a retarded AI phrase generator stuffed with Clintoon Campaign supplied talking points.

[Paladin2]

Klinton Krime Kabal?

[Lisbon1940]

He said the world was flat.
