There are just as many, if not more, reasons to criticize and/or not vote for Trump as there are for Hillary, which is impressive considering he's never held any type of political office (which in itself is a very good reason not to vote for him). As for your "middle of the road" comments.. You like to gripe because we "vote for whoever makes us feel good." i have a problem with people who'll vote for someone simply because of their party affiliation, no matter what kind of person they've proven to be. You can gripe all you want about us, but voters such as myself actually taking the time to choose a candidate based on merit, standing, and stances is a good thing for our country, even if isn't a good thing for the ultra conservative in the GOP who'd like things to go back to the way they were 40 years ago. As tough as it is to stomach, this isn't the same country it was 40 years ago, and even though you, and people like you, think that everyone who doesn't believe in strict conservatism is bad for the country, the fact of the matter is that your viewpoints are no longer held in the majority. Moderates are not going to overlook those conservative (and, in some cases, discriminatory) views and vote for a guy like Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, even if they want a candidate who will curb spending. You can continue to believe that others should change and conform to your beliefs, but it's simply not going to happen. Ultraconservative GOP ideologies will always have strongholds, but those strongholds are dwindling, and younger generations are less and less conservative. Strict moral beliefs are no longer powerful enough to carry a presidency, and that's not really that recent a development. Hell, if Jeb hadn't given his brother the presidency in 2000 we wouldn't have seen a republican in the oval office in the last 25 years, and i highly doubt that this will change this election cycle. Because as ineffective as Obama has been, and even though he's been hell on our deficit and bad for our economy, things aren't nearly as bad as all of you guys predicted they would be by now. In a sense, by predicting that he'd run our country completely into the ground and bring about an armageddon, Republicans have made Obama's presidency a success of sorts because he hasn't done that. When he was supposed to bring about the end of our country, it doesn't really seem like a big deal that we had a slow economic recovery after the recession he inherited. So, pairing Obama's failure to bring about the rapture like many conservatives predicted, combined with the fact neither Trump nor Cruz is appealing to anyone outside of the far right, and the fact that Hillary will carry the liberal, african american, and female vote, means we're likely in for 8 more years of democratic leadership. The republican party MUST adjust their ideologies towards more centric stances, and provide a palatable candidate for the presidency if they want to win it back anytime soon. That's just the way it is.

Because he's a bombastic jackass, and there's no way that he's going to win among the middle of the road voters who decide every election. Even many voters who want a republican in office are going to have a hard time voting for him.

Is (insert whichever of the hundreds of conservative pundits you'd like)'s opinion of Hillary Clinton less valid because he's conservative?

gonna be quiet in there. i know both teams will travel well, but you're still talking about small communities.

More like 25, and only 40 minutes from Buna. Seems like it would be a reasonable place to play.

Wheatley played a mediocre schedule and looking through it i'm not impressed at all. they've lost two games all season, but those games were to just about the only two really good teams they've played. Navasota is a really good team, and i like their chances in this one, just as i would've liked HJ's.

Sterling beat Furr by 6 and 11, and lost to them by 8 this year. Silsbee isn't going to have any problems this game.

Let me start by saying that Trump won't beat Clinton. But hypothetically, if he did, It's still the VP, and if by some miracle Trump does a decent job his VP will be next in line to be the frontrunner during the next election cycle.

HJ won 11-0, running their district win streak to 20 games!!

Sweet!

Dangit

Get a stop!

Great win!!

Let's go, Hawks!

If she was truly remorseful she wouldn't have repeated the shady, backhanded thievery and misappropriations that got her in trouble with the law and fired from her last job. Of course, the real credit here goes to the superintendent who looked past that criminal record to hire her, just as he did for Naomi Lawrence Lee, who, shockingly enough, is also currently facing criminal charges for theft at BISD after Thomas knowingly hired her with a record of theft from her previous job.

yup. Kountze could do it, though. their record isn't as impressive as in years past, but they played a ridiculous pre-district schedule, and i think it will have prepared them well for the playoffs. i wouldn't be surprised if they advanced to state.

this is what i was referencing, rather than based on the seasons they've had this year. But Navasota has been favored over HJ most of their matchups in the last 10-12 years, and HJ always finds a way to beat them. They definitely can't be happy about seeing Saladin again.

still has three years of eligibility left, right??

There's no way Navasota wants anything to with HJ at this point, right?

HJ Girls win 6-1 LCM Boys win 3-0

didn't see a thread for it, but HJ boys won 3-0

HJ wins 5-0

almost put biggest game of the year, but thought these two were pretty even.

Any that don't line up with his strict, conservative beliefs. I feel we need a republican right now to help fix the economy, but I worry that cruz will spend a lot more time and effort trying to legislate morality, which i'm firmly against. As I mentioned earlier, I can take the good with the bad from both sides in relation to my ideology, but I'm not going to vote for a republican to fix the economy if I'm concerned he'll put social issues ahead of the economy, especially if I can't stand his stance on those social issues.
