    Political outlook has nothing to do with it. You have denied TDS for four years and you try to position yourself as open-minded, an honest broker if you will. Your behavior in the past few days gives lie to all of that. I would expect some of it, but you are carrying it too far.

    Carry on as you will. It's not hurting me, but I think it may be hurting your credibility.

      I recall nearly identical posts from you in 2008 and 2012.

      I don’t recall one in 2016.

      For my part I will poke fun at Trump incessantly until he concedes, and then only opportunistically after that.

      For the most part I’m trying not to criticize his supporters directly. I’ve deleted several comments right after making them for that very reason. Yet I know it’s a goal I haven’t fully achieved.

      Nothing wrong with poking fun at politicians, but I'd restrict it to those instances that are actually funny.

          I for one thought that the Four Seasons fiasco was hilarious, although admittedly it distracted people from Rudy's eloquence and integrity.

            Just to remind everyone of what happens when you spit up in the air. Dems are pretty used to sloppy rhetoric and it’s a new day where that crap won’t fly.

                    Well, 2008 and 2012 was a pattern. Not so much 2016. So it makes sense to deviate in your thoughts in 2016. Trump was not just another politician. I think maybe we can all agree on that.

                      Also, gloating is a hell of a lot more fun than being as mad as a hatter who's just discovered that all his hats have inexplicably shrunk in the wash.

                            Oh my God, is Trump planning on going out like Jim Jones? Somebody needs to stop him - and not just for the sake of Hope Hicks! There are at least 2-3 other people worth saving!

                                  Nothing wrong with poking fun at politicians, but I'd restrict it to those instances that are actually funny.

                                  I for one thought that the Four Seasons fiasco was hilarious, although admittedly it distracted people from Rudy's eloquence and integrity.

                                  The Four Seasons thing is hilarious! Have at it! I don't mind humor. It's the personal insults that are pissing me off.

                                    Oh my God, is Trump planning on going out like Jim Jones? Somebody needs to stop him - and not just for the sake of Hope Hicks! There are at least 2-3 other people worth saving!

                                    You just went from "hope is the last to die" to "mass suicide". Well, that's on you.

                                      Yeah, but you can sit on its head and drown it.
