Which man has less integrity, Trump or McConnell?

[guillaumeb]

I realize that good arguments can be made for either choice, but McConnell's damage spans many years in US politics. he is an unabashed and open shill for capitalists, and he can be bought by the highest bidder. Plus, he has always been a favorite of the racist crowd.

In addition, his connected wife is just as bad, just as dishonest as he is.

So because of the amount of time McConnell has been a corrupt and racist clown, I vote for McConnell.

[2naSalit]

1. I can't decide...nt

[guillaumeb]

4. An acceptable and understandable answer. eom

[2naSalit]

12. Whew!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. Yes

[guillaumeb]

5. Yes indeed. eom

[thegoose]

3. Me too

Dump is running his usual con, but McLipless is downright fucking evil. There's no reason for what this dried-up piece of shit wants except to inflict pain and death. Dumpie just always wants to "be best!"

[guillaumeb]

7. And Trump obviously has severe mental and moral issues.

McConnell is a rich man taking advantage of his position to do great harm to his state and the country.

[thegoose]

15. Sadly, even when this ancient bastard finally pops his clogs

There will be plenty of other evil Repukes to take his place.

[guillaumeb]

16. Money talks loudly. And the most corrupt hear that money. eom

[flor-de-jasmim]

6. McConnell

Trump is a pathological liar. McConnell is a cynical, purposeful liar.

[guillaumeb]

9. Well said.

Both are dangerous, but one is more subtle about the damage he is doing.

[rampartc]

8. neither has less integrity than 0

[dawg day]

10. If "integrity' is used in its second definition of "holding together"

Trump has less integrity. He is a hollow, pus-ridden mess, holes in every angle, held together by frenzied conceit.

McConnell is more dangerous because he is not full of holes. He's just bad.

[guillaumeb]

13. Trump is a clown car.

And made for the US reality television driven media.

McConnell is the understated monster who is just as much of a sociopath as Trump.

[trof]

11. I'd have to give the edge to McConnell.

But it's a tough choice.

[guillaumeb]

14. Agreed. It is a tough choice.

And a reflection of the long term trends in the GOP since 1968.

[DFW]

17. That's like asking

Would you rather be trampled to death by an enraged hippopotamus or bitten in half by a great white shark?

It's one of those "do I HAVE to?" questions.

[guillaumeb]

18. And I understand if you do not wish to choose.

McConnell is the shark in a suit.

Sorry hippopotamus.

[DFW]

19. The question implies that one might have less integrity than the other

Since one can't have negative integrity, and I find that neither of them has any to begin with, it's like the question from "Insiide Man:" which weighs more, all the trees cut down to make the paper used to print all the $1 dollar bills in a year, or all the trains that run through Grand Central Station in a year?

[guillaumeb]

23. Anything but a math question!!

How much GOP integrity would fit on the head of a pin?

[pwb]

20. McConnell because he knows what he is doing. Trump is way over his head.

.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. Well said, pwb, well said.

[guillaumeb]

24. I agree.

Trump is a con man, but McConnell is a danger to democracy.

[forgotmylogin]

39. I was going to say exactly that.

This is a summer job for Trump. McConnell has experience but is willing to sell out his integrity.

He's on par with Cheney flying under the radar and pulling the strings.

[malaise]

21. Neither has any integrity

Moscow Mitch is violating every rule of the Senate - he is an abysmal failure and a vulgar tool.

[guillaumeb]

25. You mispelled fool as tool. eom

[malaise]

26. tool and fool

[Turbineguy]

27. That's a toughy!

First one has to be lower than whale shit just to measure the difference.

[guillaumeb]

28. And both of them have less use.

At least shit can be used as fertilizer.

[sheshe2]

29. They are tied.

They have no heart or soul.

Which wife? One has lot's of money and you know the China Connection is evil and corrupt. The other is an immigrant that came here as an illegal alien, had an anchor baby and brought her family here 'chained migration'. She was a birther and has ties to Epstein who introduced her the Donnie.

[guillaumeb]

34. As usual, welll stated she.

I give the (slight) edge to McConnell because of his long record of destroying democracy.

[sheshe2]

37. Well I am pissed!

Okay. Slight, very slight advantage for time in service. That's it.

[gademocrat7]

30. Difficult choice

Both are treasonous bastards. But McTurdle is a powerful evil man who controls the Senate. I will never forgive him for withholding Merrick Garland's nomination. He also stalled many of President Obama's other judicial nominees.

[guillaumeb]

31. Which is why I picked McConnell. eom

[Blue_true]

32. You had to take us there didn't you?

Which is worse, a fall from 100 feet onto concrete, or a fall from 99.99991 feet onto concrete?

[Va Lefty]

33. McConnell he knows what he is doing to America

[guillaumeb]

35. We agree. eom

[Meadowoak]

36. McConnell

[guillaumeb]

42. We agree on this. eom

[Thekaspervote]

38. The word integrity cannot be used in the same sentence with either dotard or massacremitch

[guillaumeb]

41. An excellent point.

But simply for the sake of argument, I posited that each must compete for the title against each other.

[Golden Raisin]

40. McConnell.

His evil and wielding of power is more sophisticated, pre-meditated, polished, sordid and knowledgeable (i.e. his long experience in government.) And although he betrays and manipulates the Constitution, unlike Trump, McConnell has actually read it, which makes his treachery even more squalid. I'm not for one second letting Trump off the hook. He also is evil. But compared to McConnell, he's an amateur. A dangerous one.

[guillaumeb]

43. I agree with your analysis.

As was recently pointed out in this thread, neither possesses integrity in any measurable way. But McConnell represents an institutional danger to the concept of democracy because his actions demonstrate that he does not believe in democracy. He believes in power.

[GeorgeGist]

44. There's nothing less than none.

[guillaumeb]

45. An integrity deficit?

Many here agree with that.

[Blue Owl]

46. Combined, they have the depravity of 3 men

n/t

[guillaumeb]

47. So a 50% bonus portion of depravity for the regular price. eom
