Best Reason for "Never Trump" I have Heard to Date...
-
1. School choice improves academic outcomes and saves taxpayers money.
Despite some opponents’ claims, school choice does not seek to privatize public schools; rather, it seeks to open them up to competition from private schools by giving families the financial ability to attend such schools. Solid evidence suggests that attending private schools improves academic performance.
2. School choice reduces racial segregation and benefits the poor.
School choice has been shown to benefit minorities and the poor substantially. One Harvard study examined how a school choice program in New York affected college enrollment. According to the authors, “Using a voucher to attend private school increased the overall college enrollment rate among African Americans by 24 percent.” Additionally, the National Bureau of Economic Research found that among poor children, school choice increased secondary school completion rates by 15–20 percent.
3. School choice increases the quality of public schools.
Some opponents of school choice fear that it could lead to the financial starvation of public schools, thereby worsening their performance. However, of the 23 studies that examine how school choice affects academic outcomes in public schools, 22 find that choice improves outcomes. The empirical evidence confirms the theory: competition leads to superior results.
Conclusion
The evidence clearly demonstrates that school choice programs are desirable and ought to be pursued on a larger scale. While opponents may try to portray school choice programs as “pro-corporate education reform,” the reality is that these programs enable students, including the poorest kids, to achieve more than they could have in conventional public schools — and at a lower cost to taxpayers. It’s hard to understand how anyone could oppose a marketplace in education.

If trump does what he did in tje primary debates all she has to do is shut up and let hin shoot himself in the dick. That shit that worked in tje primaries will not bring in any new voters and might make independants who thought about not voting at all come off the sidelines in november for hillary.
Someone in the rep party really needs to get to him before the debates and expkain to him his fanboys are in the bag and he doesntbneed to pander to them one ounce dueing the debates. If he does something like bring up hillarys looks like he did with fiorina.....just quit so we can sll be spared the continuous circus.

The democrat playbook against Trump is no secret. Since there is nothing they can do to make people like Clinton any better the strategy is to make Trump un-electable, showing him to be unfit and not have the temperament to be president. Trump has been helping the dems make that argument. I heard a dem strategist say they expect to spend about 2 billion this election to drive the point home to voters.
The dems may already be there and if that is the case it is check mate for Clinton as there will be nothing Trump can say or do that will work against Clinton if the voters have made up their minds he is not fit to be president.

I'm just happy to say today I am affiliated with no political party. How many of these politicians of either party put the interests of the country first over their own self interests? Not very many.
Actually I'd say most... of both parties... not that they are allergic to feathering their own nests to some extent, but most of those even do so in ways they see as consistent with the interests of the country. Whether we agree or not is more likely based upon our ideology than the absolute good or harm of their action.
I believe the Blagojevich's of the world are fewer than you think.
The only thing that can save Trump at this point is smoking Hillary in the debates- or another real incriminating WikiLeak.
HRC will smoke him in the debates. She'll come with facts... him with a new, insult nickname...
As for wiki... "another" will be the first...

And whether she does or not press will be falling all over themselves the next day. More than likely a small small percentage of the great unwashed ever watches the whole thing, they wait until they are told the next day who won.

Glad the outcome is already set in your mind, WSS...
Don't be naive Tour. I don't have any numbers to prove this but I bet you that most people don't watch these fuckers but will boast about how well their candidate did or didn't do the next day because they were told about it by partisan news sources.
Do you think I'm wrong?

Whether I do or not is immaterial... point was you have made up your mind as to the media's verdict.
Where was the MSM when Obama bombed in his first debate vs Mitt? They sure a fuck weren't pumping any sunshine up my kilt...
-
Interview example I watched almost all of those debates and the crowd favorite Obama was reportedly a disappointing upset in the first like every one of the mainstream, or left wing as we call them, said that he won the second one. I don't recall that being the case, but the Washington Post CBS New York Times Slate etcetera etcetera reported it.

And still I'd be willing to bet that most people thought that Obama lost the first one because that's what they heard on the news. Just like I said.

Was never my intent to imply your shit level... just to impune your openness to alternatives.

Oh I understand, maybe you could give me a reasonable alternative?
I mean shit the bed pal what percentage of eligible voters cast a fucking ballot let alone sit through hours of debates with a notepad???

WSS,
You've wandered so far afield I've lost track. I tried to regain it, but failed. Maybe too tired, I'll try again tomorrow.
But in answer to a semi-question I missed earlier... Yes, Obama won the 2nd debate... by KO... "Please proceed, Governor."

Well I'm not sure where the roots of this disagreement are anymore. But he didn't win the second debate by a KO, not at all.

The knockout in the second debate was to the CNN lib moderator Candy Crowley who chose to insert herself into the debate and wrongly correct Romney when Romney wasn't wrong...
-
Well... agree Candy should have restrained herself, but actually I can make a case where by doing so she saved Mitt from digging an even deeper hole for himself.
Romney: "... it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."
Obama: "The day after the attack, governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people in the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened -- that this was an act of terror -- and I also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime."
Romney: "I think interesting the president just said something, which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror."
Obama: "That's what I said."
Romney: "You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you're saying?"
Obama: "Please proceed, governor."
Romney: "I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."
Obama: "Get the transcript."The transcript of the President's Rose Garden remarks:
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

CNN and Candy Crowley had to immediately apologize to the public after the second debate when Mitt Romney correctly stated President Obama claims he called the attack in Libya an act of terror was not true.

Obama is incompetent. Because he's black, he has been given a free reign. It's disgusting.
