If his disaster of a campaign manages to destroy the republican party as is, he would be a global hero. Imagine a future utopia where conservative economic principles could actually be argued without getting bogged down in science denialism, belligerent militarism, or outright bigotry. If he manages to do that, I would support nominating him for the nobel peace prize. Hey, if Obama can earn one for winning an election, Trump can earn one for losing.
He’s our Stalin. That is to say, much as how the Red Army broke the back of the Wehrmacht on the Ostfront, he has broken the back of the delusional and clueless Republican Establishment, thus opening a new period of genuine political ferment in America. His bringing discussion and attention to the problems of the white working-class back into the public discourse is also of immense benefit as well
His kids don’t seem to hate him, which is remarkable.
He slapped the fuck out of Ted Cruz over the “New York values” line during the debates. You could almost literally see the air leaking out of Cruz while Trump was defending New York.
He is a pure con man, which means all his boasts and brags about all the horrible stuff he’s going to do in office don’t mean shit. He’s going to do as he pleases. I mean, I’m sure he’d be happy to bring back torture, but he likes hearing people cheer when he talks about bringing back torture more than he likes torture. On the other hand there are some genuinely horrible things he’s promised to do which I absolutely believe he cares about–going after the press, going after people who made fun of him, enriching his cronies, and so on.
He’s exposed how much christian conservatives care about values. He’s a completely amoral values-free vulgarian, and they adore him.
Or +1, There’s a decent slice of Hoosier Republicans that are happy he’s out of the governor race as well. ![]()
Divide by zero does not generate an instruction trap: those are either generated by specific TRAP or TRAPcc instructions or by undefined instruction codings.
In fact, if you are using IEEE 754, divide by zero will typically not cause an exception at all: it will simply generate a NaN result.
By default, it would generate a QNaN, which would flow through the data stream, converting everything it touches to another QNaN. Which is analogous to Trump himself and his steaming piles of whatever that is coming out of his mouth (if that is indeed his mouth). Every idea he touches becomes non-useful.
Which could be a good thing. We could do with some information culling. So, that could be a net positive for the guy. That is, assuming it could be possible to not let all the culled information be replaced by bullshit, which is most likely what would happen with him.
They’re even willing to overlook his two divorces and four bankruptcies. Who said the spirit of Christian forgiveness is no more?
And his inability to fit through the eye of a needle, or something. Apparently he never gives money to charity. Like, he doesn’t even buy Girl Scout cookies.
I haven’t seen any pictures of him wearing a loud plaid jacket, so he’s spared us that.
