You're right, but 1) high level business politics and high level politic politics are very similar, I'd imagine. Both deal with extreme egos, both have a ton at stake (money, power, careers, pride, etc), both are filled with the douchiest/shittiest human beings alive, etc and 2) I can't imagine you become even a quarter as successful as Cuban without running in the same circles as many politicians. You get to know them by default, I'd think.

    I know a lot of people are thinking Trump will win again just because they are pessimists, but I doubt he even runs again at his point - even if he survives the whole term.

    Yes. The second.

    What? No. way. What is his party name? "Not the Democrat Party"? Or is he just going to change his policies and actually advocate for a single payer in health care?

    What democrat is voting for him?

    If none, then he has to bank on taking all the cuck conservatives (which would happen) and we just have a new party that replaced the Republicans.

    I think people have been hungry for someone to step in and fill that void for a long time.

    On paper, that was a very appealing candidate: Someone who isn't beholden to Washington money, favors and lobbyists.

    Shame we got someone who is beholden to the same money anyway.

    Can't we just move on and all be AMERICANS? Sick and tired of people identifying with a foreign country. These people need to assimilate to our values ASAP. I've had it up to here with this bullshit. It's not my fault they lost. To the victors go the spoils.

    Maybe Trump was an elaborate ploy to get people on the left to respect reasonable Republicans more? From now on in any Presidential debate I'll be subconsciously comparing the Republicans to Trump and saying, well, at least he/she isn't Trump.

    Since Trump was elected I've found many Republicans I have said I respect in terms of them standing up and speaking out against Trump's more loony policies.

    Don't respect people that knowingly voted for Trump and now try to take the higher road when they feign abhorrence towards his behavior. Oh mercy me how could this man be so horrid.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    My philosophy is as follows: if you voted for Trump after spending the primary and general election saying he was horrible etc., I won't talk politics with you until you apologize for that vote. Even then I won't fully trust talking politics with you until after the 2020 election.

    If you've always been a Trump supporter or quickly switched over after the writing was on the wall that he'd win the primary, I will talk to you about politics because I can respect a person with a spine, no matter how much I disagree with their views.

    I meant people like Jen Bush, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, etc. John McCain always had my respect for his service, but a lot more lately for his firm standing on issues

    Lefties been apocalyptic about every Republican for as long as I can remember. Bush 43 was a very practical conservative but you'd think he was the anti christ the way people talked about him.

    there are always people on both sides who think the other side winning is the end of the world, there was plenty of that from the right in the Obama years

    Did you vote for Bush 43?
    Did you vote for Trump?

    I think your answer to those questions shows that Trump is different.

    So 1 republican president? Unless you were some weird kid who cared about politics at like 4 years old.

    But anyway, at the time, lying to get into war was the worst thing a president could do. Now Trump just existing is the worst thing a president can do.

    Nobody thinks they are on the same level, we just didn't think the country would be stupid enough to elect a Trump. If Bush was a 10, Trump walked in and said 'this one goes to 11.'

    I reserve the right to be apocalyptic towards Bush 43. IMO, invading Iraq was far worse for our country than anything Trump has done as President YET.

    In my opinion, a lot of the hysteria hasn't done a whole lot of good for the left agenda, just at face value.
