(1)-Clinton doesn't backstab Obama: Except for all the times she's been critisized for going along with Obama's decisions happily back then, that contradict what she wants to do now, only to tell the public she was completely against it and it was the wrong decision, now that she's running for prez. (2)-Kings term running out: This follows the plot the least yes, but has to be looked at in general. Its not the fact that the guy in charge picked the next in line, its that the right person for the job who is not politically corrupted is a candidate. (3)-General sentenced to death: Much like how Trump was the joke of the entire world when the campaign began, practically sentenced to a political death by the media, and some of the population, yet here he still stands. (4)-Gladiator fighting: Based on what I've seen over the years in terms of how brutal the campaigns have been, this one is definitely up there in terms of low blows and hostility. Both candidates are tearing each other apart and it doesn't do much good for either of them. (5)As for the Roman Elite being political, I never said they weren't. I just simply said politics were different back then in the way that not everything in life was looked at from a political standpoint. Where as today, politics comes into play with everything and with the global media, making one false move can put you in deep water quick. |
1. What things would you say are such extreme and important policy changes that they are comparable to Clinton backstabbing Obama? More than just Clinton changing her mind, but doing so constitutes a betrayal of Obama.
2. Considering the "donation" that looks exactly like a bribe in connection to Trump University in Florida (I think), I dispute the "free of political corruption" claim. And in any case it's a poor parallel.
3. Being not expected to get anywhere in the campaign is supposed to be a good match for being sentenced to death from an already high position due to a usurper consolidating his power grab? Come on.
4. Is Clinton supposed to be another gladiator now? Your analogy is breaking down.
5. Well, it's obviously true that they didn't have the 24 hour news cycle, and paparazzi weren't as good back then (and didn't have the ability to publish as widely or quickly). Still, they did have political scandals come from personal behavior, and on the other hand Trump seems to be defying expectations now by shrugging off things that could be expected to sink another candidate.
At this point I think I could make just as good a case for Trump being the Terminator trying to eliminate various candidates for President until he finally defeats them all. He would have to lose the election in the end, though.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
