DAMN! Hillary lost the "Dilbert" endorsement.

Why I Switched my endorsement from Hillary to Trump

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/150919416661/why-i-switched-my-endorsement-from-clinton-to


Early this week he said this

"Clinton looked, to my eyes, as if she was drugged, tired, sick, or generally unhealthy, even though she was mentally alert and spoke well," Adams wrote. "But her eyes were telling a different story. She had the look of someone whose doctors had engineered 90 minutes of alertness for her just for the event."

Scott Adams is not Dilbert, he is the pointy-haired boss.

Thus, all Clinton lost today was the pointy-haired boss endorsement!

I have no idea if Adams wrote himself in as the boss or not.

I was a Dilbert fan when I was younger (I didn't even work in an office at the time), so it makes me sad to see what he writes about the election.

didn't know that Scott Adams identified more with his pointy hair idiot boss than with poor shlub Dilbert.

Oh well... what a load of absolute horse-shit.

Disregard the other candidate's apparent in your face alleged medical problems but look into the eyes of a healthy women and she's totally sick?

I never watched nor heard of Dilbert, and thank the heavens never will.

Chronically unfunny and boringly obvious. Also, the more I learn about Scott Adams, the bigger the asshole he's revealed to be.

Dilbert is a round short sleeve shirt tie wearing engineer type who has to put up with intricate layers of dopey management and bureaucracy.

Expect a lot of nasty attacks from the right after the election. They will use whatever they can to curry leverage. I hope Hilary is ready for it so she stands strong and doesn't give in to their demands.

Just google Scott Adams misogynist for his history. He has quite a few other crackpot ideas as well. Makes me sorry I ever enjoyed Dilbert.

For someone to be an effective leader it seems like they should be liked. Trump's record high unfavorable rating doesn't seem to be helping him. The idea that people she Trump as a "biggest bad-ass" on any issue is laughable. Sure his die hard supporters see that but the rest of us see a fucking idiot.

This whole thing borders on parody but I guess he's serious. Sounds like a rich fuck pissed off by the estate tax. Then he came up with these, seeming sarcastic, reasons to support Trump.

He basically identifies as a centrist, but he hates him some feminazis.

He claims that rape is a natural instinct for men. That tells you what you need to know about his "man."

Okay, I suppose I can understand why a mega-rich guy wouldn't be happy about estate taxes, but he doesn't make any sort of cogent argument as to why Donald Trump would be a better President.

Doesn't have the guts to just say he hates Hillary and wants to vote for Rump, so he goes through this "comedic" pseudo-bullshit to avoid being pegged as a complete fucking idiot.

And not particularly funny, either.

His "endorsement" of Clinton was a piece of right-wing passive aggressive bullshit, anyway. "Oh, the politically correct fascists of the internet will come and get me if I don't endorse her".

Good riddance. This isn't a surprise, he's basically the Nuge of the cartooning world.
