Now, now, if we're going to discuss politics, which often get heated, let's leave out the name-calling.

[I'm both surprised and impressed how civil this topic has stayed. Well done all, and let's keep it this way, as I for one like hearing from both sides.]

Trump does not pretend to be Gandhi. He also does not preach the politically correct drivel and guilt others into obedience. Agree or disagree, he is clear where he stands. I wish more politicians were like him.

He changes where he stands more often then I do my underwear; the recent Kashoggi case is a good example of that.

I thought he's been very clear with that. Too clear, for a politician.... Pretty much said he had a large arms deal set up, and he doesn't wanna cancel it, lol. How much clearer can he be?

And the caravan. I've heard it blamed on George Soros, etc. I'd blame the right for that, as an army of people coming to cross your border illegally would only seem to fire up the people against it. How would this help the Dems? If anything, the Dems should stage a woman choking in a restaurant, and then an illegal alien doctor there to save her. Instant illegal alien immigrant!

And we have no idea who has sent these bombs in the mail, but I would think it would only help the Dems. It would make you think, 'the right is fucking nuts and violently trying to kill the left! I better make sure I go out and vote these fuckers out.'

As opposed to a republican thinking, 'good, glad to see people trying to kill the other side. Very noble, and I better make sure I go vote.'

I think we can all agree it's horrific behavior, but I don't see how this would help anyone but the left.

This is all starting to remind me of Brexit and the 2016 elections, when the media made it sound like it was already over, and then BOOM, surprise surprise at the polls.

And yeah, I think both sides need to chill the fuck out with comments that seem to approve of violent tactics. That said, I don't see any issue of the fake WWF clip with Trump wrestling CNN, nor do I think that could be called instigating violence against the press.
