Serious question - are you the user who once called himself VCO3, or something along those lines? ---

Especially the ones that claim they are recent converts but can’t get stop themselves from using the base lingo of their real affiliation. 😃 Stick around. I have plenty of slurs and innuendo for all. By the way, who’s a recent convert? Are all Democrats required to assume your mantle of assumed wisdom? Yes it’s true I’m no rabid Democrat. I vote for the person I wish to vote for, which annoys those who think they know everything. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Serious question - are you the user who once called himself VCO3, or something along those lines? This is my first full day here. Had never heard of this place. Came upon it by accident. I’m a veteran of the Topix wars, however. If you know about Topix, you know it’s pretty brutal. I tired of that, finally. Thought this would be more civilized. The language is less obscene, but the general direction of the posters seems to be as polarized as ever. ---

Is Donald Trump a good candidate for President? About as good as Satan. The Republicans probably could have won this year, with any candidate but Trump. Trump has no chance of victory. Several top Republicans knew that Trump would be toxic in November, but Trump won the nomination despite that. Clinton is assured of victory. This will likely be the death knell of the Republican party. ---

Well, that’s standard operating procedure, isn’t it? You have to demonize me, by pretending I’m a person who has mysteriously disappeared, only to return as someone else, a phoenix arising from the ashes of some discredited poster? Oh, the pain! ---
