RE: What Created Trump?
I don't know...I saw JS's response as kind of a cop-out. Opinions are also not right just because many people hold them.
After Obama was elected was when I stopped watching the drivel that passes for late-night comedy...I lost all respect for Stewart & co. after they started carrying water for Obama...the leftist bias was just too much to stomach.
What is a 'moderate Republican' and what was so 'freakish' about the guys running this time around (it seemed like, aside from Trump & Rand Paul, the usual kinds of guys we see running)? What makes HRC (who is the most dangerous person I've seen get this close to the Presidency in my adult life) any better or less bad?
The way politics is discussed in America is the way middle-schoolers talk shit about other kids they don't like...very little of substance gets discussed, while a whole lot of personal insults/accusations are hurled...
Yeah, sure... Stewart totally towed the line for Obama. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=jon%20stewart%20slamming%20obama
If you can't see what was wrong with the Republican candidates this year... I don't even know what to say to that. Remember, the second "best" candidate was often compared to a serial killer, everyone who knew him hated him, and even his own kids didn't seem to want anything to do with him.
