He's a tribal Democrat. He would absolutely endorse Trump if he had a D by his name. Trump actually used to be a Democrat. He just switched to R because he is a conman and saw which party base could be conned more easily.

That's actually not true. That was just a lie created. Check your facts.

"That's a lie! I'm not going to say which part, though."

They made several assertions, simply saying "LIAR!" accomplishes exactly fuck all.

Sorry didn't think I had to say the main argument in his statement was what I was referring to.

We know what you're referring to but you've done nothing to prove your position. What was the lie? Spell it out. What is the truth instead?

What are you talking about? Trump was a registered Democrat in the 2000's. He's switched part affiliation over and over based on what he thinks will work best for him optically. Now as for Maher, he's a typical old neoliberal. He may be pro-choice and also more for reforms like gun control and taxing the rich, but on many social issues he might as well be a Republican. I think he agrees with Trump's position on a whole host of issues. I think if Trump was a registered Democrat, we would be seeing a very different tone from Maher about him.

What's this quote have to do with anything? I never said he said Republicans are dumb in the 90's.
