    Me personally? I like a good fight. Maybe it's the pretend lawyer in me, but the adversarial system tends to produce the best in all of us.

    There is nothing in life ... nothing ... that motivates like the wolf nipping at your heels. You never run so fast.

    It's why capitalism works, and 'take care of each other' systems do not. The latter cuts against the grain of human nature; the former feeds off it. We are wired to get bored and complacent. The constant threat of an ass kicking is what keeps us honest.

    Democrats should be up for a fight. You can be a man!! (hello @YellowSnow ) They should because they're losers right now. If they want to be winners, they have to knock off the current winners and make them losers.

    How do you do that? Well, you figure out a way to fucking win!!!

    Civility? That's for @RaceBannon and his shuffleboard buddies. There are two things about Hillary I like and admire, and you can all fuck off if you don't like it: she is legitimately very fucking bright, and by accident of what I do for a living, bright people are easier to deal with; and she has big brass balls. The chick knows how to fight. She's a terrible campaigner and she knows it. She is terribly unrelatable and she can't make a good poker face when dealing with people who are not at her level. She's admitted as much.

    But in a dark alley fight with no rules? I want that cankle closet carpet chewer bitch on my side.

    She's a cunt ass loser who is so out of touch and unlikable that she lost a gift wrapped Presidency to a reality TV star.

    Fight with her in the alley all you want, but you'll be stabbed to death.
    I said she's an out-of-touch loser. Did you retire the state department of redudancy department?

    As to whether I'd want her in a street fight, your eyes are as good as mine. That broad can play dirty. And if the tin-foil hat crowd here is right, she'll shank a bitch if that's what needs to be done.

    The more they become uncivil, the more power they will lose. Lunatics should be kept far away from power.

    This day keeps getting better and better.

    I support lunatics. Those already in office, and whoever they are running against.

    The conflagration is underway. Burn it down!

    Another meek Cirrho attempt. Kill yourself before your inevitable crucifixion.

    Neither side is civil. Both sides thrive on partisanship. If you think your side has some moral high ground in this argument you are an idiot.

    Trump is a model of civility.

    Last I looked neither Trump or his supporters were shooting at Rat party Congress members, sending them ricin, doxxing them and their family members, harassing them when they are out to dinner in public with their families, nor stabbing them.
    A Trump supporter murdered a girl in Charlotte. With a car. At a neo-Nazi rally.

    Very fine people.
