contributed to Trump's win.

He's a wannabe Susan Sarandon. And, man, that's a sad thing to be.

Why are we posting the work of a DUer who has been FFR, essentially banned? George II Jul 2017 #2

We already know that, so why do you bring it up? A weak "cryptic" message I suppose. vkkv Jul 2017 #22

Well here we have a long essay on how bad trump is, and its coming from a person... George II Jul 2017 #18

"one of the most informed, political observers" BULLSHIT. Anyone who calls President Obama a POS, still_one Jul 2017 #26

In your opinion... right? vkkv Jul 2017 #27

That he called President Obama a "POS",that was a fact. Not voting for Hillary in the GE is a fact. still_one Jul 2017 #30

Again, that doesn't prove that he is not an "informed, political observer" vkkv Jul 2017 #32

His vote against Hillary, though, does prove that he is not an informed political observer. Squinch Jul 2017 #34

The sad reality is that HRC LOST to Trump! vkkv Jul 2017 #39

Your response has nothing to do with the fact that Pitt didn't vote for the Democratic candidate Squinch Jul 2017 #45

Lol! Will's vote had zip to do with Trump's "win" Arazi Jul 2017 #72

Yes. All those things. Plus the assholes who say they are on the left and who Squinch Jul 2017 #73

Nope, sorry but Will's vote in deep blue NH was not an issue Arazi Jul 2017 #74

How about his purple prose exhortations to others not to vote for her? You think those helped? Squinch Jul 2017 #75

Will could only dream of having Sarandon's reach Arazi Jul 2017 #82

So you actually believe his writings didn't influence others to not vote for Clinton? brush Jul 2017 #81

Nope. Not at all Arazi Jul 2017 #83

Hahahahahahahahaha! With friends like you and pitt, who needs.... brush Jul 2017 #84

So your answer, basically, is that he WOULD have been a force to elect Trump, just Squinch Jul 2017 #85

Nah, not what I said or implied Arazi Jul 2017 #87

oh yeah, it sure does show he is uninformed. On the first point when he called President still_one Jul 2017 #36

The sad reality is that HRC LOST! To Donald Trump! vkkv Jul 2017 #41

I don't think either of us will change our views on Mr. Pitt, so we will leave it at that still_one Jul 2017 #43

The author of this piece IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTING TRUMP! Foamfollower Jul 2017 #15

Pitt was one of the first to dissect the Iraq war excuse bobbieinok Jul 2017 #23

Exactly. And then Speaker Pelosi said "The impeachment of GW Bush is OFF the table". vkkv Jul 2017 #25

That was back when DU was a liberal site. QC Jul 2017 #33

Well, no. It really isn't my opinion. It's a fact. Squinch Jul 2017 #80

And the o.p. calls DU an "echo chamber". Wow. Nothing like a FB page to escape an "echo chamber". Tarheel_Dem Jul 2017 #66

Political commentary equivalent of a bodice ripper. ismnotwasm Jul 2017 #29

This cracked me up. It's so true! Squinch Jul 2017 #49

Full of something... Ellipsis Jul 2017 #37

Yep. Squinch Jul 2017 #46

Locking, because your view is completely false, would be shameful of DU admins. vkkv Jul 2017 #44
