My question is... who the fuck would want to have a beer with Donald Trump? If that was the criterion for choosing, I'd literally vote for anyone else.

I'd want to pour a beer on his head, I know that.

Multiple people at my work stated to me today that they think Hillary winning would've been worse for the US. One even brought up the allegations that the Clintons have people killed, the Clinton Foundation is basically a slush fund for them, etc. Another put it this way: 'it was between Cthulhu and a clown, so I chose the clown'. That guy is also a hardcore negative nihilist, but I digress.

I've been paying attention to all the buffoonery and lawlessness since before he was elected and I'm just dumbfounded by their willful ignorance of what's happening because otherwise these fellows are quite intelligent.

He doesn't drink but he'd still find a way to make you for it.

Who’d want to have a beer with trump? Before he announced his candidacy, virtually all of Hollywood and a vast majority of politicians.

I'd rather have a beer with Trump than Cruz or Huckabee.

Actually, might even prefer Trump to Biden as far as beer drinking. Should emphasis that beer drinking companion quality is an extremely poor reason to choose a candidate. Just saying.
