I think you just take every opportunity you can to just take a swipe at obama regardless of what actually happens in reality...

You say this, yet we have nearly 80 pages of Trump thread practically dedicated to swipes. Obama's getting a pass in comparison.

but lets stop pretending like you won't be singing praises of how much better Obama was than a prospective Trump candidacy

key phrase

I doubt Trump can even crawl under a bar set so low.

I don't understand how you can see so much hyperbole and think it's all reality, but I guess a distorted reality is what you have to adapt to keep your mind off your own abysmal party ticket.

hold my nose for Clinton or sit this one out.

If you haven't noticed that Aman does nothing other than swipe at Obama with zero introspection into his own party to the point of almost cult-like parody then you haven't been reading for the past couple.... i dunno... years.

Rose-colored shades everything red.

Donald Trump is now the leader of the Republican Party. It's real – he is one step away from the White House. Here's what else is real:

Trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia. There's more enthusiasm for him among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls.

He incites supporters to violence, praises Putin, and, according to a columnist who recently interviewed him, is "cool with being called an authoritarian" and doesn't mind associations with history's worst dictators.

He attacks veterans like John McCain who were captured and puts our servicemembers at risk by cheerleading illegal torture. In a world with ISIS militants and leaders like North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Un conducting nuclear tests, he surrounds himself with a foreign policy team that has been called a "collection of charlatans," and puts out contradictory and nonsensical national security ideas one expert recently called "incoherent" and "truly bizarre."

What happens next will test the character for all of us – Republican, Democrat, and Independent. It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man's narcissism and divisiveness. I know which side I'm on, and I’m going to fight my heart out to make sure Donald Trump’s toxic stew of hatred and insecurity never reaches the White House.

Or are you as excited as me to see Trump go to Mexico to deliver his Reaganesque, "Mr. Nieto, you will build that wall."

If the bolded part was something unique to Aman instead of something that is rampant in these forums then I wouldn't have objected.

Elizabeth Warren on Trump

Hadrian was pretty stoked. He really should have had the wily Scots pay for it. It only takes a couple of successors for a wall to go to the way-side. I doubt it's going to happen.

Speaking of hyperbole....

Seriously, he's Donald Trump. You can use less extreme adjectives to describe him and still get your point across. It might actually be more effective because you won't look like a partisan hack. Win-win.

I am way more interested to see how the GOP goes about rallying around Trump. Needless to say, they saw how Christie's endorsement caused his popularity to plummet in New Jersey, same with Sessions' in his homestate, he got a scathing rebuke. Pretty sure that sitting Congress members are going to be pretty skiddish about endorsing Trump, especially ones facing re-election. Many senators have said that if Trump is the nominee they aren't even going to the convention. How is that gonna look for party unity.

Its actually very new, I don't think the GOP has ever faced a situation like this. I can't remember an election where the party wasn't solidly behind their nominee from the point they were essentially, if not officially, the chosen one.
