Trump did not only declare that John McCain was a "loser", he also declared that McCain (a former prisoner of war) was "not a war hero".

John McCain was a traitor who liked to stab his friends in the back.

you guys are really panicking over these tax docs. It does make Trump a valuable asset to those to whom he owes th money eh? Conversely hes a danger to us.

I think the folks who are seeing this reasonably (lots of time spent on this very subject by two separate jurisdictions).

"You guys" here on A2K, or "You guys" Republican news heads you read about on various hate sites?

Personally, it does not effect me or my vote other than a topic to discuss.

Yes, it is, but the "Atlantic" story is from anonymous sources and is contradicted by an eyewitness.

I'm guessing that Mr. Cohen is not going to get a pardon.

Do you finally see that Mr. Trump is the best man to lead America?

What’s that mean? That you’re voting against Donald Trump?

Bingo!

Actually it's not even a lesser of two evils decision — while not ideal, Biden's a decent candidate. But people like max need to understand that having a reason to vote against particular candidates is a perfectly adequate, and likely common, motivation to cast a ballot for any of their opponents. max acts as if the NYT shouldn't have even broken this story and should be covering other issues instead. I think it's an important piece of investigative journalism and could help to peel off some of Trump's less ideological supporters. All seventeen of them.

Since Max has repeatedly made this very point, I think he understands the concept.

I encourage the left to make "never standing for anything useful" a recurring election strategy. Keep up the good work.

Hey, good work digging up those posts, oralloy!

But in this thread he's not taking that line:

The undecided voters are undecided because they are afraid of liberal extremism. People who love Trump are not undecided voters, to be undecided you need to have been pushed away by both sides.

Voting Trump out of office is more than "useful" if we really want to see progress on, as max said, "Immigration and Health Care and Civil rights and Climate Change". It's imperative.

"Saying that you don't like your opponent" is not standing for anything.

Voting Trump out of office is standing up for the country's democratic traditions.

I encourage the left to make "I don't like the other guy" their primary election theme from now on. Keep up the good work.

Joe Biden's son was paid a ridiculous sum by a Ukrainian gas company for no discernable reason other than his connection to the Vice President.

Okay.

Last week, an investigation by Senate Republicans into corruption allegations against the Democratic presidential nominee and his son Hunter found no evidence of improper influence or wrongdoing by the former vice president. The investigation concluded that Hunter Biden’s work for a scandal-plagued Ukrainian energy company, while “problematic,” did not affect his father’s handling of American foreign policy.

That's highly unrealistic. It's a sentiment often expressed by disaffected voters but it's not a position a major party candidate would use. It's rather dumb, actually, since there are plenty of effective issues which can make the other guy even more unlikable.

I understand that it's a losing strategy. I think it is better for America if progressives lose. Therefore I encourage them to keep using it.

I believe (or at least strongly suspect) that both stories are true. I just don't think the taxes are very important at this point.

Yeah. Al Capone thought that same thing about his.
