I'd never have thought it of him

I know! The first time I watched Game Change (I saw the movie before I read the book) I was like ... "Did John McCain just say ****?!?!?"

Giantaxe

McCain's temper was one of the things I found unsettling about him when he ran both against Bush in the primaries in 2000 and against Obama in 2008.

I can only hope that those that try to equivalence Clinton's undoubted flaws with Trump's are paying close attention to the latter's current behaviour.

I wasn't here in 2000, and I was in the UK for most of the summer of 2008 (my Dad died that year) so missed much of that election cycle. I've always thought of him as a mild mannered gentleman - goes to show how wrong you can be!

That plus the fact he seems to have held a grudge against Obama since 2008, it's a bit unbecoming. Oh and it's only now that he has disavowed Trump suggests it's polls over principles the same as all the GOP rats leaving the sinking ship.

The Trailer Park has its fair share of paid trolls, I'm sorry to see, all (wisely) posting under made-up names.

So many of Trump's famous supporters have left in just the last week, even Glenn Beck has given up on him.

I'm not sure if it is dumber to suggest that money is being spent on influencing the people on a forum where half the members aren't legally allowed to vote, or to actually do it. Just responding to this puts me in the bottom 10% of dumbest forum members.

Wintersong

Excellent! I'm glad to see there are people responding to the barrage of lies being put out there by Trump and his deplorables.

Apparently you can also pay trolls to dump links all over forums and increase your web traffic.

You know what you can't pay trolls to do? Make up poll figures http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...ons/polls.html

Would you like to clarify that remark? Why would it be wise to hide one's identity if one supports Clinton? Because, while I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, it could certainly be taken as a threat.

zargof

I guess it's time to come clean... Boiler, JG and I are all being paid by the Clinton campaign to convince the rest of you to vote for Hillary.

Forum users are posting under made up names? Next you'll be telling me that Nutek isn't really a talking starfish

What the hell man, where's my check?

p.s. I bet Glenn Beck stole it and bought gold

Wintersong

I'm sure Sir Eccles is your real name, though

Right? We're not doing this for free.

I've been accused of being a paid shill before; on a fringe science website during a discussion about chemtrails when I explained what aircraft contrails actually were. I'm still waiting for that money.
