Ok..... let's see..... Reagan states thinking the mikes are off something along the lines "we're bombing the USSR" jokingly to test the mikes and everyone went apeshit.

Nixon lost the 1960 election arguably because he looked really bad during the first debate.

Again, these are not random, off the street comments from these people.... they fucking KNOW the cameras are rolling. Some of them are at rallies some of them are in fucking interviews, where they know cameras are rolling.

There are gaffes and there is just plain idiocy. The above are not simply one time gaffes but over and over and over.

I am not being an idealist...... some of you are just so blind and wanting to believe in someone that you are ignoring reality.

Perhaps the truth lies somewhere between your idealism and mine.

I also find it somewhat sad that someone has to stoop low and talk about what he believes my private life is like, not knowing a damn thing aout me other than what I have written here.I do not appreciate it and look at it like a personal attack simply because my views are not agreeable to his.

The same with someone telling me I would like Stalin as a leader.

I don't see where I talk to anyone about their personal lives in here or comment in any way, why is it ok for someone to do that to me?

I do have my views and stances and the one closest is the one I trust least and scares me most, the gaffes just add to how poor this election really is.

BTW, in the future anyone posting a thread on what a candidate says or their stances, or how they act..... I will remind them of how they sat here arguing none of that matters because it's just YouTube following them around.

Jesus Christ, if we make excuses for our politicians on how they act and what they say in front of cameras, WTF are we missing when the cameras are turned off.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
