Could they possibly seat Marla Maples on one side of Mr. Cuban and Ivana Trump on the other side??
This isnāt just any billionaire. Itās probably the one guy who can sit there and smile and make Trump squirm.
Clinton has been bombarded with so much of that kind of crap for so many years, sheās learned to soldier on whether itās hurting her privately or not. Trump has shown that he canāt take the mildest rebuke or criticism without having a meltdown ā maybe not during the debate, but certainly as soon as he can get to Twitter afterward.

Holy crap. You actually posted an opinion, based on personal experience, that carlos canāt counter.
I still think that war was a huge mistake, and it was wrong because it was started because of trumped up reasons. The death toll was massive, and it destroyed Iraqās infrastructure.
But Iāve never, ever agreed that Hillary should be singled out for this, running for prez or not. carlos seems to harbor a personal grudge against her. Itās almost not a normal kind of criticism.
Oh well. Onward and upward.

I know how I would have voted. The putative reason, the casus belli for the war, that Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs that constituted a clear and present danger to the United States, was doubted at the time - a majority of Democrats in Congress voted against authorization - and was proven to be untrue, a mixture of lies and ignorance. And your idea that it is āplaying politicsā to allow human rights violations to happen without going to war each time is offensive. Do you really want the US to be the policeman of the world, militarily intervening each time thereās a human rights violation? So, we should be fighting the Saudis in Yemen; we should be fighting in Ethiopia, Burma, Pakistan, China, Russia, Kenya, Israel, Egypt? We did intervene in Libya - howād that go again?

Iām sure Cuban live tweeting would be great - and to have people sprinkled throughout the audience following his feed so that it is really obvious to HO that he is being roasted.
Iām too chicken to watch the debates. Just tell me how much to contribute later.

Are we striving to be a moral nation?
Is it easier to make your argument with hind site?
Do I base my beliefs on what society and my peers want to see me type on a message board?
Do I believe that everything the public is told is decfacto truth?
Do I hold the post hoc fallacious belief that because of certain actions taken those that are not acted on are the better options?
If you read, and understood my previous post:
Any totalitarian regime that infringes on the rights to life and liberty of a people should be acted against immediately.
Thank god the French agreed with me during the American Revolution: however, given the choice to vote on that decision once again, would they still say yay?
Leaders lead in the moment with the information they are provided. Followers straddle the fence and complain when things go astray.
What a bunch of pontificating claptrap. The leaders in the this case were the pols who had the gumption vote against what they rightly perceived at the time to be less than convincing evidence to support the casus belli. That casus belli WAS NOT presented as the necessity of regime change; it was presented as the clear and present danger posed by the (non-existent!) weapons of mass destruction. The followers were the sheep who blinding accepted the cooked-up āintelligenceā that was presented to them.
Is that you, Donald Rumsfeld?

if you believe something show me some passion. Iām not interested in what someone told you to believe.
Ha! He doesnāt need to ā Trump knows the truth even if he thinks heās fooled everyone else.
Sorry, didnāt see youāre comment before I said the exact same thing. Looks like weāre on the right track!
Which defines the Trump campaign. A lot of folks have complained a lot about how āTrump is untouchable!ā and āTrump is impervious to traditional attack!ā. - well fine, so letās see how he responds to a little unconventional warfare thrown back at him. Iām personally betting/hoping he does melt downā¦

Not to be outdone, Trumpās honored guest will be Bobby Knight.
Yes, Iām merely repeating others talking points, while you are a sui generis, outside-the-box original thinker, thinking your way to novel thoughts like āthe US should invade every single country where thereās human rights violations, no matter what the cost in human lives, because tyranny!ā
Am I talking to a human, or one of those text generating machines?

Iād appreciate if youād follow up with our discussion and answer some of my points as opposed to tantrums. However, looking through posts I see I failed to spot your MO.
Iāll agree with you so we can move on: the best policy is the ācrystal ball policy.ā In which we ask the spirit of Miss Cleo how things will unfold before we make decisions.
Colbert. Or Seth Myers.
Maybe Cuban can sit between Colon Kaepernick and Ibtihaj Muhammadn
