Exactly. They are to interpret the law without bias, or to hand the win to one side or the other. They are to interpret regardless.
I love how when someone points out the reality of a situation that others ASSUME that that person is happy with the eventual outcome. Pssst, we are Scr*wed either way, Homer. Enjoy your crow in November.
that's a great reference to voting for a third party
Is she really the favorite? More than half of the country hates her just as much as Trump.i am not the one saying it is impossible for Trump to win....you are
Hillary is the favorite
you are the one putting all your marbles on the table....
This statistic applies to a traditional Republican and Trump is anything BUT so you can throw that playbook out the window. It may well end up a lop-sided victory for Hillary but the path taken to get there is going to be unlike anything any one of us has ever seen in presidential politics.I have been saying all year long that Trump has given the Clinton campaign more than enough material to run the most effective negative ad campaign against him since at least LBJ destroyed Goldwater in 64. Anyone that thinks Trump won't lose in a landslide come November is delusional. Hell even without the negative ads he still would be facing the fact that he is demographically unelectable. He has to get 40% of the Hispanic vote to win. He won't even get 10% of it.
If you think you have seen real mudslinging in past elections, think again. There is going to be more mud thrown this year than all other election years combined. Me? I will be breaking out the beer and popcorn, and enjoy watching Trump and Clinton destroy each other. Another year for Democrats and Republicans, and one small step closer to Third Party voting meaning something.
Go Gary Johnson!!

:shrug: if your honor and beliefs are so cheap to you that you would sell them for the off-chance that maybe Donald randomly picks a decent judge, then vote GOP. I'm not paying that cost for that reward.
you're abdicating your responsibility and washing your hands of a bad situation which is not the adult thing to do

Big old "meh" to the ludicrous title. And this is coming from a big time Trump detractor. This isn't an effective ad in the least. Why?
1. No target audience. Is it aimed at Republicans and trying to turn them away from Trump? If so, it's ineffective, given the fact that they were the ones most plugged into the REPUBLICAN primary in the first place so these attacks on Trump aren't magically "new". If it's aimed at Democrats, the ones that Trump is likely to sway over likely don't give a **** what the likes of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio or a guy named Bush has to say about Trump. If it's aimed at independents, again it's questionable based on the Democratic narrative that has been pushed so much that independents don't like republicans.
2. Nearly every single one of those people in that ad have sat there and intimated in some fashion that despite all the horrible things about Donald Trump, he'd STILL be a better candidate than Hillary. Basically letting this commercial be "This is how bad they think he is....and they think Hillary is EVEN WORSE".
Excellent. Agreed. That should be their goal. None of this "figuring out which side you are more sympathetic to, and then backtracking to find a reason why they should win" nonsense.
Problem: the sides disagree on the nature of the law itself, with one arguing that what is written is, and remains the law, and the other arguing that the law is more fluid, can be bent to other purposes, and should be continually re-interpreted through the Lens Of Modern Times.
The she devil hasn't seen anything yet ! It's NOT an old commie depends wearing fart that will deal with her this time . :lamo
No, I'm not. I'm willing to continue to hold to my ideals, even against the opposition of my tribe, which is the mature response for those who are capable of independent thought. I'm not a Republican because my daddy was, or because that's what People Like Me Do. I was a Republican because it served as a vehicle for conservative reform. It has ceased to serve as that vehicle at the Presidential level, and so it no longer serves a purpose for me there - I will find a vehicle that does.
I don't have any responsibility for Trump - I opposed him from early in his candidacy, and continue to do so. I don't owe him anything, nor the GOP. They do not own me or my vote. As an adult citizen, I'm expected to exercise my franchise in an informed manner to the betterment of the country. That precludes voting for dangerous morons to wield the awesome power of the Presidency.
Regardless of how you feel about Clinton, that was awesome.
This statistic applies to a traditional Republican and Trump is anything BUT so you can throw that playbook out the window. It may well end up a lop-sided victory for Hillary but the path taken to get there is going to be unlike anything any one of us has ever seen in presidential politics.
I could actually see Trump winning in places like Pennsylvania yet losing in places like Texas.
The irony, as I see it it, is that I view Clinton as more conservative than Trump (with his given past,) even if Trump does tend to suck up to the conservative base telling them what they are clamoring to hear. All this time the right has been shouting for "more conservative candidates," and at the end of the day, we get Trump.
Seriously, if Hillary was not already the pre-determined democrat candidate, I think Trump would have run as a democrat. It would have been a lot easier make-over for him to do that.
No it will be a:

I strongly disagree. IMHO, Trump and Hillary are merely 2 different cheeks of the same ass.
I don't know what you're disagreeing with, because that statement doesn't really counter my point.
The point isn't whether or not you think they're the same. The point is that the people they're quoting...the people who's words and opinions about Trump the commercial is attempting to portray as worthwhile and valid...THOSE people by and large think that as bad as Trump is, Hillary is worse. So all the bad crap they're saying about Trump is equally damning to Hillary, because despite all that they still think Hillary is worse.
It'd be like if Creed was trying to pump themselves up by showing a bunch of people saying "Nickelback is horrible and their music is ****ty", and ignoring the fact that those same people immediately follow that with "...but Creed is even ****tier"
I disagree completely. The ad is clearly aimed at Republicans...to remind them that even Republicans don't like Donald Cruz.
generally candidates target swing voters and independents. Yes, this ad will not make a difference among people who already support Trump, but it will harm trump among swing voters and people who didn't vote trump in the primaries.
Maybe, maybe not.
But the ad didn't show those parts.
