I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

      I don't know if that's true. His style and tastes are close to those of the average voter.

      He's losing badly against the least popular Democrat in a generation. He could come back, but he's made it hard.

      But it's very difficult to win when all of the media is against you. Has his personality helped him or hurt him?

      Doesn't that just force the "anti-PC" team to obey the rules they're resisting? Seems pointless

      I feel like there's a middle ground between wasting all energy on constant witchhunts vs. actually riding around on broomsticks.

      Put bluntly: "it's my body, and naked sabbath dancing is my choice"? Because A) there's value in it, and B) our tradition.

      I'm using witchcraft as a metaphor for eg rape. If you're fighting in favor of rape, that's different from just being "anti-PC"

          Agree w/ both A&B. I'm saying the best spokesperson for this view is someone who's super-unambiguously not a rapist.

          I mean, you said you'd vote for Clinton if Rubio was on the ticket, and Rubio is the essence of bought robot.

          I haven't investigated Rubio much, but I thought he was more pro-war than Clinton.

          Probably would have voted Kasich over Clinton. Carson seems unqualified. Jeb it would've been a tossup.

          The VP debate was an alternative universe vision in which the GOP establishment had won. I didn't like it 1 bit.

          And I don't have any evidence that Trump has been more boorish to women than Bill Clinton, Hillary's future co-president.
