    In reality, yeah, but it sounds like he wants to show a bit of maturity to set him apart from his opponent.

      Well, I know you definitely didn’t watch the interview…

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8LoAsHz-Mc

      Nothing in there was mature, and he said he wouldnt drop out unless “lord god” told him too. Wouldn’t entertain the possibility that some people may think he’s too old. Refused to believe he was losing in polls, refused to believe people had called for him to drop out, refused to answer a bunch of questions, or acknowledge there was any chance of him losing…

      But then when he says he really doesn’t give a fuck if trump wins after spending 4 years saying trump winning would be the end of America…

      This is an example of him showing maturity and a good thing to you?!

        I don’t think that’s exactly a fair characterization. He was being given a list of one person after another with “what if X asked you to drop out?”. It would be complete idiocy for him to say yes to any of that. So, he used the “lord God” expression to make it clear that his answer wasn’t going to change. Whether or not he is open to dropping out, he’s not going to nod in that direction publicly unless he’s already decided to do it. Frankly, it was a dumb line of questioning.

        End of America for plebs, he basically said the quiet part out loud here that he is rich enough that his life won’t change even a bit for the worse, if anything it might get better.

        There is a whole: “I’m doing this for you and if you don’t appreciate it I’m just gonna lose and enjoy my money with a trump presidency” attitude imo.

        With his current mental state I’m pretty sure anyone could hide behind a bush and tell him they’re God and that he should drop out. I think it would work.

          We need a 50:50 mix of alcohol and water to pull off the “on fire but not consumed” trick.

        Fuck! Somebody tell Yahweh to get his ass back here right away. A 3000 year vacation away from Earth is long enough.
