Ted Rall for July 27, 2016

The only thing is that the “lesser evil” is always a bought and paid for, wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street.

What war did Hillary start? No war can be started unless the President orders troops into combat. Hillary has never been President.

Oh, man. Rule’s on a rail! I mean Roll’s on a Rall! Wait a minute! (Administer dope slap to self) Rall’s on a roll! I get so excited when I can read a new version of my favorite comic three days in a roll, I mean row.

I’m trying to think of one President who did not send troops into harms way.

I always wonder at the reasoning of people who say that Hilary is beholden to Wall Street and is therefore “the greater evil”. There hasn’t been a president who has not paid attention to what Wall Street wants, to one extent or another. (Money needs to removed from politics, and Citizens United overturned.)

Trump, by comparison, is a plutocrat. Who is he going to be listening to, if it is anyone but himself? He’ll have a coterie of rich friends playing court to him and asking for “favors”. Don’t doubt that for a second.

We can lose more troops in training than in combat, even during a war. We lost more troops to training and other accidents in 1980 than we lost to war in any year during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. If you look at any time since I believe Vietnam, non-combat deaths in the US military outnumber deaths by hostile action.

Hillary started the war in Libya. That was her bailiwick. Yeah, she technically cannot order troops in but she put the President in the position of supporting her aims as to the Arab Spring.

While I don’t like Trump he is, for me, by far the lesser of two evils. I don’t like being forced to choose that way, but that’s the hand we’re dealt lately. I suppose I could throw my vote away and vote for some candidate of the Green party or something, but this is serious, adult business so I make the best choice from a bad hand I can make.

Wait, Rall is blaming David Duke on Hillary, when the former KKK leader a) supports Trump, b) said that it was Trump’s popularity that has made him decide to run for office again?

I just don’t understand the logic here- but then again, I never understood saying the candidate who voted the same as yours 91% of their record is somehow worse than the candidate who has the man put a woman in prison for an abortion as VP. Oh… I forgot, Rall’s not a woman, so why should he care?

Anyone who dislikes the idea of voting for the lesser evil, should be working diligently to implement RANKED-CHOICE VOTING (and the total elimination of party primaries). At least you’d be able to vote for the least evil, then if that one loses, the second-least evil, etc.

Hillary formed ISIS all on her own?

The lesson of the strip is clear: vote Trump now and you won’t have to wait twelve years.

Is this cartoon an anti-religious slur against his holiness the Flying Spaghetti Monster? If so, their may be legal reprercussions….

Trump is a commie lovin fascist.

Sure, Ted, go ahead, vote for Trump, make his day.

Hillary has NOT started wars

She may not be an athlete but she is definitely an athletic supporter, as a pundit whose name I disremember said he was surprised the Weekly Standard had not endorsed her, Ted is right about one thing, Trump hasn’t done anything yet, better to worry about real things than imaginary ones, myself I think the baby eating space alien is good at heart, he just fell in with a bad crowd

Yes, I remember when everyone in Congress voted against the invasion of Iraq except for one junior Senator — and thus the war had to happen. Great political analysis, Ted. She started the war.

Please vote responsibly as the world is watching. If you want America to become Amerika I strongly encourage you to move to Russia.
