I love all the useful idiot liberals in this thread. It's going to be so sweet when Trump wins this thing, and mind you, he is going to win. There is very little doubt about that barring some apocalyptic development.

BTW: Harvard undergrad, Harvard law,179 LSAT here, so yeah, smarter than you.

I guess I was under the impression that most biglawyers don't live in Manhattan. But I don't practice there. I'm not sure the population of Manhattan is representative of anything.

First off, anon abuse.

Second, if you're so smart and so sure, put up 1.5k to my 1k (I'm giving very good odds since there's "very little doubt he will win"). I'm willing to put up to 8k on this bet, and I'll give you even better odds if you raise the stakes (I'll do your 10k to my 8k), so unanon yourself and pm me.

This. Wtf is up with all the proud trump supporters posting anonymously? Anonymous posting is used to prevent outing, not because you're afraid to be exposed as a trump supporter. And just lol at listing your prestigious credentials anonymously as proof of your superior intellect.

@op have you never worked in a professional environment before? Just avoid talking about politics, it isn't that difficult. Especially if you support someone who backs immigration bans on Muslims, etc. I can't believe this is even a question, it's common sense.

He has to anon because it's too easy to check HLS/179 LSAT vs his post history otherwise. And also because it's just one guy flaming a bunch of rational people responding in disbelief at these statements. I'd say mods need to come clean this thread and lock it down, but fuck it it's Friday before Memorial Day and this has been the only entertainment on TLS all day (outside of gifted hands' descent into incoherence.) Keep fanning the flames y'all.

Two great arguments: (1) If Trump wins, then all of his positions will be vindicated. (2) I go to H, therefore I'm correct.

For what it's worth, all of you Trump believers should really be putting money on this election. There are pretty good odds your way on the betting sites.

Ain't got time for that. I'm not really into outing unless you're being a total dick. Also anon posts by people with like 3 posts on TLS are more common than you'd think.

He most likely is. He went to Harvard. Didn't you know? Attending Harvard automatically makes you a person of superior intellect.

Search their post history for me and find evidence that they're a 0L

That's really the only reason I wanted them outed :D

Even if it were true that you had attended those schools, it does not make you smarter than anyone else. but I love the confidence in your post and how crushing it will be to see him get decimated 3xx-1xx in the electoral college.

I think the right answer on most issues is between liberal and conservative, but what annoys me about liberals is they criticize conservatives for being incapable of thinking for themselves when all they do is parrot the beliefs of all those around them.

There is a particularly annoying kind of liberal that believes if everyone just really thought long and hard enough and really looked at the evidence, OF COURSE they'd all be liberal! But I'm not sure why committed liberals are just parroting the ideas of everyone around them and committed conservatives aren't.

Very fair. I think I tend to notice this trait more in liberals because I'm a liberal. I expect better from people who hold the same views I do. :)
