Donald Trump

[East Level 2]

I'd give it a few days if he wins then Republicans will start highlighting his rambling mad performances and starting to edge him out based on mental and of course rectal failings

I think he'll be happy to go after his inauguration in January. He'll be able to make a big fuss about beating all the imagined forces against him and as Pres he'll be immune from prosecution.
Note: If being ex-president removes that immunity then he'll stay until he croaks.

More human in this context would be more emotional. Maybe that would be better, in fact.

I think we are in danger of over-intellectualising here :)

What constitutes “over-intellectualising”?

What constitutes “over-intellectualising”?

Well, in this context, I would say that trying to take a position based entirely on rational argument rather than more basic and, dare I say, more emotional reasoning when clearly more basic and, dare I say, more emotional reasoning would be more beneficial would constitute over-intellectualising.

The irony of anyone over intellectualising on a Trump thread is not lost on me.

How would you define “beneficial” in this context?

Nor me. ;-)

I think you are giving too much undeserved credit here. There is very little rational arguments being put forth here. Just mostly in group emotional vomits and self congratulatory postulations .repeated overtime that gives it the patina of reasoning.

Are there exceptions? Sure. But it's not the norm.

Nor me, which I suppose is where we started.

Surely any idiot knows that depends on whether you take a Hegelian or Jungian view of the dialectic.

Absolute state of this thread.
