Certainly you and I have both met and known graduates of elite universities that stumbled to the finish line by sole virtue of family money and connections. Trump’s classmates are often hard pressed to even recall seeing or interacting with him in school. I don’t recall his transcripts being made public. Personally I think Daddy bought his degree. He’s shown no ability to sit long enough for instruction in anything, and I’ll wager it’s always been so, since a very young age.

A lot of Texans, like me, tried hard to get the rest of the country to see what a bogus candidate W was and got nowhere. You’d think people would pay attention to the people who have experience, but no, they are too busy making it all up.

Destroyed is the right word. Look at what they did to HO’s brother. Sociopathic crime families have no mercy on their own.
A member of the clan can only get out by giving up everything. It would be enlightening, but difficult to escape. They have spent their whole life living with the fat rats, and have no idea what freedom would be like. Thread a needle with a rope and all that.

I may be in the minority here, but I don’t think a polling station is the place to protest, unless perhaps it is something to do with the process of casting a vote, not for whom you’re voting. The registrar’s office, GOP headquarters, etc. if you’re protesting Trump. On the other hand she’s gotten more publicity this way.

I agree.
I don’t think Trump is intelligent. I think he is shrewd. And I think that his shrewdness is wilting as he gets older and crazier because he is genuinely mentally ill, guys - he is.

To me it feels like she’s looking at Ivanka to determine whether she (Tiffany) has met the standard required to not be punished or if she has to keep talking.

That’s what FEMEN does. High profile, loud, in-your-face protesting designed to get them both on the news and carted away by LEO’s.

I want to quit seeing hearing about and wondering about this sick excuse for a family. Everything about this family makes me so uncomfortable that my skin wants to jump off.

I do agree with that, he has the right to vote without being intimidated. ON the other hand, if they are more than 100 feet from it (he was going in a special back door) then they are not at a polling place.

He probably wishes he could cast his ballot in Alabammy or one of the other old slave states among his peeps instead of NYC.

I agree with you. He wasn’t hassled once he was inside the polling place and we have a constitutional right to yell at people who are running for office as long as we follow the rules about it. They were more than 100 feet away, they were more or less living campaign signs.
Same kind of free speech.

Some of us New Yorkers also need to atone for the rise of Trump. Granted I’ve loathed the man for well over 30 years for the same reasons and behavior he has exhibited to the world for the past 15 months. The elected officials who granted him tax breaks and deferrals and let him run rampant with little oversight also deserve scorn. A compliant tabloid media which championed him through every tawdry scandal and foible. Though there were a few journalists to be commended i.e. Wayne Barrett and Jack Newfield who were at the Voice and Newfield later at the NY Daily News who did yeoman work investigating Trump and exposing his fraudulent empire. Additionally a business elite who proped him up along with other “celebrity CEO’s” no matter how corrupt and incompetent they were as was the zeitgeist of the era.

Oh, @rhea, I was talking about the bare-breasted woman, not Trump being booed. I noticed there was a handicapped sign on the entrance he went through.
I agree about intimidation. However I don’t think booing protesters are particularly intimidating if you are surrounded by Secret Service and going in the back door after arriving in a bullet-proof limo.

I would have booed him.
Geez, I voted today, and for the first time that I know of, there was a policeman present at the polling place! This little MI city has two precincts, and then the surrounding townships have their own. My precinct ran out of “I Voted” stickers before noon - there were a thousand of them, and they were trying to find more. The guy in front of me got the last one. Oh, well. My husband voted absentee, and one of the poll workers said there were a record number of those this year!
Saw one big, bearded, long-haired dude with a black “Stand Your Ground” t-shirt. When I saw him, I giggled. Dim bulb. He was unsmiling, of course. These people have no sense of humor.
Go, Hillary!!!

Yay - such happy posts today from people. God I love it. I’m so happy that turnout is huge like this. I worried because early voting turnout was so enormous - the numbers in Texas are staggering - that I thought all of us had voted and today it was going to be the fascists’ playthings, but it’s not!!!

There was a policeman (or security?) at the mall-transitioning-to-college-campus voting megacenter I went to last week. But I don’t know when I haven’t seen one on campuses or government building where I’ve voted. I think they’re there all the time though, not just for the polls. He was at the door but needless to say, not at all intimidating. The only guy I felt sorry for was the sad-faced Young Republican outside.
You don’t piss off fathers who are potential giant donors.
