11 to 1 when I seen, I think it went even higher before counting started cos Hills had a 90% chance of winning from paddypower.

I'm more pissed off with myself than anything else, would've been worth atleast a tenner like. I've made worse bets before :miffed:

Dude got a tough ride despite being the best prez of my generation. I know it doesn't take much nor agree with everything though, the drone strikes for example is a rather dark cloud. But to go from Obama to this ?, fuck me.

The problem with Memphis is that he'll talk shit like this about any president. If you talk the "he's dangerous" rhetoric about Obama and quote drone strikes as an example of this then your grasp of reality is so thin that it can quite comfortably be called delusional.

No one is claiming that out of 300+ million Americans, Hillary would be the optimal choice for presidency, but you must be fucking blind to think that Trump is the better choice, especially when throwing Obama into the equation.

Just calling it as I see it. You endlessly ahit-talk Hillary, you call Obama more dangerous than Trump, GW Bush is a warmongering no-good, I think it's safe to assume that you think Bill Clinton and Bush Sr weren't any good either. You'll cherry-pick actions by these people to make your point. Trump though, he receives little to no flak. And as this quote will illustrate:
Captain Mazda wrote:Because I'm a Clinton supporter, right?
Memphis wrote:You're not anti-Clinton though.
We're dealing with a form of the "with us/against us' mantra here.

It's quite easy to explain though. Trump isn't part of the establishment, so it's easier for you to speculate about all the bad things Hillary will do than it is to acknowledge the bad things Trump says he will do. Sounds to me like you're the typical middle-to-lower-class white male that's angry bout being ignored by the sitting politicians and in a blind rage will vote anti-establishment ni matter who is representing that.

I'm not denying Hillary has done some shady things in the past, and those make her a dubious choice as presidential candidate. I'd rather not see her in office either, but given the choice as it is, we have to reflect upon Trump's dealings in the past as well. You'll find that Trump isn't a saint either.

When looking at what Hillary would've done as a president, then simply judging by what has been said and done during the campaign, I think Hillary paints a far more progressive and future proof plan than Trump, who basically wants to alienate the rest of the world and make Mexico pay for it. With Hillary, we can make a good estimate of what we can expect from her. Trump's an unguided missile that's bound to explode in someone's face.

Sure, Hillary may end up drone striking Syria to rubble, but, sorry to say so, as appalling as that is, it's not too high up on my list of things I give a shit about. Especially not because I wouldn't be surprised that Trump will do the same. That's speculation, sure, but it's a fact that the US is waist deep into the shit that is the Middle East right now and there is no easy way out.

At the same time, Hillary is pro-sustainable energy. Trump's plan is to keep the fossil fuel industry alive. Hillary is far more progressive when it comes to things like abortion. Also, she's not the one planning on deporting illegal Mexicans, adding import tax for Mexican trade goods, breaking up trade agreements or closing the borders to any and all immigrants. She's definitely not talking about building walls anywhere.

tl;dr sure, Hillary is a shady figure, but when it comes to on the job policy making, she's painting a far brighter and more progressive picture than Trump has ever done.

Indeed. Maybe we should get Hitler back in office because at least no emails of his were ever leaked, right?

I'm way ahead. Post up two pages of 'good' Hillary things and we can consider another round :|
Nope. I have absolutely no desire to engage in this shit fest in any way that will waste my time.
