I saw a conspiracy theory the other day that basically said that Trump( who has been a lifelong democrat) is basically a Clinton mole to disrupt the republican primary and take attention away from the legitamate candidates.

I definitelt don't think it's true or anything, but I do agree that Trump is definitely hurting republican chances of winning the election. He started out by saying true things in a non-PC way that lots of people think, but now is just saying whatever pops in his head to get media attention. And with everyone talking about trump Rubio and the rest of the candidates are getting swept under the rug, so that even if they win the primary they're gonna have a harder time swaying the swing voters since they've had less exposure

I agree. I was comparing them from the standpoint that they are about the same in their extreme positions.

I don't think Trump means much of what he says. He says it for two reasons. One, he does it for publicity, attention and two, he likes to push the line. He's says "Hey, this is working, let's see how far we can push this thing". So he keeps getting more radical until he sees it start to hurt him. Have you noticed how his retoric has escalated as time has went on? As long as his polling numbers are good he'll keep pushing the envelope.

Unfortunately, it is working for him. At the beginning I thought this was purely a circus side show that would fizzle out. I thought there was no way he'd get the nomination. I now think there's a decent chance that he gets it. We'll then be forced to choose between him or Hillary.

Hard to disagree with any of that.

The writing is on the wall. Trump will go third party and split the GOP votes. I'm not entirely convinced Trump is NOT working for the dems.

Although I don't agree with a number of conservative positions, I have always voted Republican. However, I cringe at the thought of having to choose between Trump and Hillary or Sanders.

The future is scary. As a country, we're polarized socially and racially. Obama was very instrumental or influential in creating this divide and I frankly don't see anyone clamoring to lead the country who is capable of uniting us. And if America does not move towards unity, things will only get worse...there's a lot of smart people in this country and if they continue to refuse to acknowledge this, I don't know how we can address our problems.

If the civil war had happened now, I think the North would just let the South go. I often wonder if things would be better if the blue states and red states could just form their own countries.

I'd go to whatever Texas would call itself.

From the article...

Dash, who appeared in the movie "Clueless" and has been a Fox contributor since 2014, said on Fox News Channel's noontime program "Outnumbered" that Obama's speech was an epic fail and followed up with an obscenity. "I felt like he could give a s---, excuse me, like he could care less."

I don't like any candidates. I don't know how I'll even vote. The lesser of the evils I suppose.


I might just write in Ron Paul

For three straight No. 1 picks including Dansby Swanson. I haven't been able to name 3 braves in a couple years.

They got 3 more future 1st round picks?


If so that's a hell of a trade for the braves

Swanson was last years first overall pick. Franchise SS for sure

Aaron Blair is a legit prospect pitcher that was a 1st rounder 2 years ago.


And 3 more 1st rounders


Heck yea hell of a trade brovos as Shelby miller was reportedly a clubhouse nightmare


Edit: I see you were saying all 3 players were 1st rounders. I still like the trade for the braves future. Short term Dbacks trying to win now

Where did you see that Shelby was a clubhouse nightmare? I've literally never seen that ever. The opposite in fact. Still, this was a great trade for the Braves overall.
