If Donald Trump were fractionally as rich as he says he is, he would
write a $200 million check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the
cash.

I expect Donald Trump to try to calm down. He doesn't have the cash to
fund his campaign, he needs to appease donors quickly. He had less than
165 million in cash and falling for a campaign that will cost 750
million or more. He will have to grovel for that cash and the real
fun/drama will come from all the ‘hidden’ videos from his private
fundraisers. He will say what they want to hear.

Get ready the real ‘index’ for this election will be RNC vs DNC
fundraising. RNC will need less $ for POTUS but much more downstream to
counter Trump the reality is that Donald Trump will be MORE beholden to
donors than Hillary Clinton because his fund raising is so far behind.

Depends on how you measure money. T rump values his name, T rump at $8 billion or more. Put that name on any building and the value goes up. So when he says he has $10 billion, it is because his name is worth that much.

Not to mention how much "You're fired!" is worth.

Stupid people. If you can't stand either candidate, the best way to
look at it is this: Another Sotomayer running against another Scalia.
The choice then is a whole lot easier for anyone who is politically
aware, regardless of which side of politics you're on. Both
presidential candidates will suck in the job, but that's 8 years max.
SC jobs are lifetime, and those folks affect our lives at least as
much as presidents do..

Let me tell you how smart Vanek votes.

A couple of years before you showed up here there were a few morons who wanted to turn RGP into a ‘Moderated’ (censored) forum. It was debated for months and finally came to a binding vote. (The censor loving assholes lost.)

Among the YES voters (who unbelievably are still here) was Bill Vanek, Irish Ranger Mike, and dumb pickle.

Among the NO voters besides myself were Joe Long, S Susan, and Travel.

Imagine wanting someone else to read and OK your post before it goes up. And imagine still being around here now after voting YES. That’s stupid and kind of embarrassing.

I wish it was moderated and *I* was the moderator. I'd kick all three of them out, just because they voted for it.

I see. So if you have a choice between a moderated poker group, and
what this place has become, a nearly abandoned political group with
"poker" in the name for no reason, you choose this? Okay.

Funny, though, it's the left that is obsessed with controlling speech,
but you support them fully. With a moderated usenet group, you join
in, or you don't, and no one cares. But you object to that, right? But
when the government that you can't escape does it, that's okay?

I think this would have stayed an active poker newsgroup if the government hadn't passed the UIGEA in 2006 and everyone stopped playing poker from their bedrooms. People found other things to do.

It wouldn't have. There are plenty of active discussion groups out
there. I liked Gary Carson, but he is almost solely (except for Russ)
to blame for the departure of the pro players, including the name
players. At the same time, there were many others who drifted into
off-topic crap, who thought this was their personal blog space, and
who really believed that every thought they had, everything they had
to say no matter the subject, *must* be heard by everyone. Anyway,
once the real players left, why would anyone come here for advice? You
might as well ask the next person walking down the street.

And all these folks who drift back with new names are the ones who
felt they weren't getting enough attention, so they try a new handle,
and hope someone reads them again, at least until it becomes clear
that they are as boring or stupid as ever. Joe Camel, anyone?

Even if I wasn't paranoid, even if I wasn't a conspiracy nut, how the fuck could you ask me if I was for Hillary? You certainly know I'm a rabid commie hater. Even without the conspiratorial version of history, how could you ask me if I was for Hillary? It was a serious question. Something must have prompted you to ask that stupid question. At the time, apparently you did not know that Scowcroft was a long long time member of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. At the time, you apparently did not realize that there is no philosophical or partisan difference between Clinton and Scowcroft. So how could you ask me if I was for Hillary? Admit it, it was a stupid question.

And it's not a theory. It's a conspiracy.

You think every mainstream politician is a commie.

You can't believe that. Are Tom Steyer and George Soros connected to
the trilateral commission?

>So how could you ask me if I was for Hillary? Admit it, it was a stupid question.

If you don't vote, you are voting for Hillary. I have no reason to
think you would vote for Trump. He's not exactly a conservative, you
know.

Soros is on the membership list. Is that connected enough? You just don't know much about the Trilateral Commission. Whereas I do.

Who were you rooting for? Another Bush? Two Bushes and 16 years worth of their shenanigans wasn't enough for you? Too bad Prescott Bush isn't still here. You could write in his Nazi-collaborating ass.

In the primaries, I vote for whoever is the most electable
conservative. Not exactly original. In the general election, we have
to live in the real world, and pick the least repulsive candidate
sometimes.

You are never going to see the government you dream about. Not here,
not anywhere. For either one of us, all voting is negative - we just
want to keep the monsters out of office by voting for their opponents,
no matter who they are.
