Random Politics & Arguments Over Nothing #16
Lakshmi.Zerowone said: » You mean the deal that required approval from several departments outside Clinton's sphere of influence? Bahamut.Ravael said: » I hope you're not being serious, because that's one of the stupidest talking points that I've seen since the election. The Federalist Papers: No. 68 Quote: The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.

Ragnarok.Nausi said: » Lulz at Trump being "weak" He's a slave to his own ego. That's an incredible weakness to someone who knows how to exploit it. Ramyrez said: » (/w\)

Bahamut.Ravael said: » eliroo said: » Yatenkou said: » Well I guess not, but it still baffles me that if we didn't have that Electoral College, Trump would have 100% lost. Well the Electoral College was designed so someone like Trump couldn't take office. I hope you're not being serious, because that's one of the stupidest talking points that I've seen since the election. Ragnarok.Nausi said: » eliroo said: » Ragnarok.Nausi said: » Why would Putin want to take a chance on trump when the Clinton's are always for sale and already bought and paid for? Hello uranium deal. Why buy someone out when you can just manipulate a weak opponent for free. Devil you know vs the devil you don't. Politically, he is as experienced as you and me. Caitsith.Shiroi said: » eliroo said: » Well the Electoral College was designed so someone like Trump couldn't take office. It's the opposite, it's made so all states matter more and not just highly populated areas, otherwise rural areas would be completely. It is more about the electors being the ones voting so that the population doesn't vote in someone who is inexperienced. I am actually for the EC, I just think it needs some updating. eliroo said: » Ragnarok.Nausi said: » eliroo said: » Ragnarok.Nausi said: » Why would Putin want to take a chance on trump when the Clinton's are always for sale and already bought and paid for?

Day one, page nine.

It's been NINE PAGES of semi-civil hoopla at least.

Ragnarok.Nausi said: » Heh. Well, we maintain the status quo in that if I'm wrong, we all win, and if I'm right...we don't win so much. So I'll just be here continuing to hope I'm wrong. Russian hacking is the new birtherism.
Asura.Dameshi said: » It's been NINE PAGES of semi-civil hoopla at least. Could one say life's been good to you so far? eliroo said: » Bahamut.Ravael said: » I hope you're not being serious, because that's one of the stupidest talking points that I've seen since the election. The Federalist Papers: No. 68 Quote: The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. So, you could make the case for practically any person running for office that you don't like. That's why it's a dumb argument.

Try and keep up. Also, calling me out on one instance does not even come close to bringing me down to your level, so you'll have to do better than that.

So, you could make the case for practically any person running for office that you don't like. That's why it's a dumb argument. So you really think that Trump is qualified to be President of the United States? By what criteria? Where is it clearly outlined exactly what attributes a person has to have to be president? Why is this even an argument in an election where both candidates could be viewed as "unqualified"?

Can I be president of the united states?!

Qualified is a nebulous word here given opinions of character.
Maybe "Does person x meet the expected standard of character to be president?"

Of course you can, at the low low price of tree fiddy Lakshmi.Flavin said: » your opinion is that it's stupid... you also didn't have to word it in an insulting way... you could have shown why you disagreed with it and discussed but you just lob out insults and that's about it.. its fairly hypocritical to call someone out for something like that and the go off insulting someone else and such lol... We're continuing the argument and discussing the details as we speak. You're still here trying to pick a fight with me, and since you can never back up anything you say, you're not worth my time. Good day.
