GE Wk 5: Who won the week?

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Easily Trump. He's meeting with African American community leaders, making foreign trips, appeasing his base while also sending the message that his vision is moderating...

Meanwhile Hillary is stuck in e-mail and Clinton Foundation turmoil.

[Person Man]

We're currently seeing why people like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, po pot, Kim jong un, Saddam Hussein and so many other truly evil people can be supported by their populations, only to end up doing such evil things. Sadly, most of humanity loves to hear the guy that screams and points the finger at the other guy as human beings are a tribal and violent species...That is what really matters to most of our species. Very few care about the guy/gal that warns about such and seeks the high ground.


That is why so many are voting for Trump. Humans love our dictatorship, fascist and monsters.

Would it be trolling to say that this is why there is a perception of anti-social men having an advantage in dating? I'm glad I'm not on the market right now.

Include Johnson in these.

Why? The man has no chance of winning let alone getting on the debate stage

He's in the margin of error for making the debates, the debate commission is preparing a third podium, he's raised just under $3 million in the first two weeks of August (that was after he out raised his 2012 campaign), his attendance for rallies are record high for a libertarian nominee, and for the first time super pacs are supporting a third party candidate.
Johnson has a chance, not as good a chance as Hillary and Donald, but a chance. Let go of your prejudice against libertarians.

He isn't in the margin of error in the five polls that matter. Fox has him at like 9% that means that he has to go up like 6% in like 2 weeks and it's too late probably for most polls. That was a report that the commission was preparing for a third podium it wasn't confirmed to my knowledge. Oh wow he raised $3 million bucks he better step up his fundraising if he wants any chance whatsoever. I've seen one of rallies and there are like 300 people at most while Trump has 10,000 and Clinton 3,000 on a good day. And a super pac is supporting him that's cool. The man has a sub-zero chance of winning and a less than 5% chance of making in the debates which start in 21 days. And no this has nothing to do with libertarianism it has to do with reality.

[Likely Voter]

Let's not turn this into a Johnson thing.  If he gets into the debates, I will add him to the weekly poll.

There's no way in hell Trump won this week after that immigration speech. Sorry, but there isn't enough uneducated white males in this country to make it a positive.

There may not be enough uneducated white males in this country, but consider subject-verb agreement in your future posts.  It will help you make your point.

Voted Trump.  He doesn't often have a good week, but I'm giving him the edge, partly due to Clinton's problems and partly because of his persona in Mexico City.  He was on that stage for 15 minutes before he opened his mouth.  I don't think we have ever seen him on television so long waiting patiently without talking.  Low bar, I know, but given the specific critique of The Donald, it should go a long way for him.
