    Saying that you came to the conclussion that either of their hearts are in the right place, but especially trump who is the most obvious grifter in a generation is just so wildly embaressing.

    That's like saying after meeting with the Santa at the mall you are now convinced it is deffinitly the real Santa.

      "Hearts are in the right place" is code for "won't challenge the supremacy of money and corporate power in America". He's giving away the game because its basically an admission that either candidates agenda won't fundamentally change the status quo and so either one winning is acceptable.

    People like him are the biggest indictment of capitalism. It would be one thing if the Duke Nukem's and Dr Eggman's of the world were on top. They'd have all the money to make their moon bases and obstacle courses for intrepid adventures to navigate. But it's always these fucking losers, the same pencil pushing dweebs that marked people's disillusionment with monarchy. It's not even dweebs who made the haber-bosch process, it's like a guy who privatized open source code with patent fraud or invented the cigarette. This guy would be happier having taken 6pm karate lessons at the local shopping center after being shoved in a locker instead of talking to presidential candidates.
