    Be cool if any of you idiots on the left understood marketing. But you don’t.

    I will I’ll say as long as Clinton hangs around she will be a target. I will also say until the Dems find someone that can be the clear choice by the party they will run on what works. As soon as Cory Booker or Joe Biden or some other idiotic dip $hit gets in front of the pack it will be what you see because it works.

    BTW they will have plenty of good things to run on but races are won on a lot on driving negatives. See the Steele fake ass Steele Dossier. They will also run on all the lefts idiots running their mouths stupidly on gun control. Oh yes they will because it works. Not to mention the left feeds it. They will take your guns people!

    Its about winning not your pointless post on Clinton. Marketers do what works.

    Washington is devoid of both foresight and long term planing

    The answer is neither is acceptable to the other but both ideologies exist always have and always will, its just never been this contentious in my lifetime anyway

    Apparently that I either don't exist or am God. Or the omnipresent will of the Force (hence my avi ). Or that Chris has no idea what he's talking about, one of those things.

    We both know that this isn't your best effort at contributing. I remember us not so long ago having a brief, but nonetheless constructive encounter on another thread beginning here, so I know you're fully capable of better than the quoted response above. I'd like to see more of that other Boris. Because you're not actually just a dumb troll like you usually try to present yourself as being. I'd like to see more of the real Boris. The one who is capable of constructive conversation. I have the feeling that he's not dumb or particularly mean at all, but actually a decent person.

    And it works both ways, doesn't it? Democrat candidates in my area are running on the "fight Trump" platform. Very little mention of their views on the issues, just "I'll fight Trump if I get elected" spiel.

    Not to defend strictly negative campaigning, but if I may point something out here, Donald Trump is the president, while Hillary Clinton is a private citizen not running for office. Do you see the difference in degrees of political relevance here?
