Official 2016 GOP thread: Is it really going to be Donald Trump?? (2 Viewers)

[timschochet]

Just admit you guys are ####ed.

We all are if your honey woman gets elected.

Vote for Donald and you'll be able to afford a $30,000 home in north Florida just like Em!

 

[Eephus]

Probably more amazing is that Hoover ended a period where the R's were in the majority in the senate for 62 out of 72 years.

The Civil War and Reconstruction had something to do with that

Do I get a free phone too?

25% of the Republican Party agrees with Eminence. What more needs to be said? Talk your way out of that one, rockaction! Explain it, BeaverCleaver! Try to find a liberal analogy, Max Threshold!

Just admit you guys are ####ed.

Sorry I agree with a billionaire. Such a dumb thing to do. You're as foolish as the woman you want to be president.

So a phone and a job....that means zero unemployment. What is Hillarys plan for this? A Lexus too?

So anybody who becomes a billionaire in the business world makes them qualified to be president? Such a dumb thing to say.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrumpI just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance!

So I guess she won't be VP.

We need to get Em a job on the inside of that campaign.

Obama has lost 76 House seats, 15 Senate seats. Has any other president come close?

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/mid-term_elections.php

The answer is right there in your own link. Roosevelt lost 141 seats his last two mid-terms; Truman lost 92 seats, and Eisenhower lost 80. Ford lost 53 in his only midterm.

You shouldn't have brought up Ike and Ford, ruins the false meme that it only happens to presidents who are Democrats (which I had been looking forward to being repeated by the bright minds who never actually bothered to read the link).

As I noted above, I was referring to total net lost seats in a presidency. Obama has the most since FDR.

You know what else is funny about Ike & Ford? The opposing party won the next election. Truman also came close, the GOP won that next election too.

Not in 1956, Ike won reelection handily. And of course in 1960 the Democrats ran JFK, like Obama, a once in a generation charismatic candidate against the uncharismatic Richard "Tricky Dicky" Nixon.

I was referring to the presidents with the most cumulative lost seats:

Obama -76/-15 - ???

Truman -74/-18 - GOP won next

Ike -66/-14 - Dems won next

Ford -48/-5 - Dems won next

FDR went -117/-6 and Truman won next with 49.5% of the vote.

 

[facook]

I'm almost certain we're getting Hilary vs Trump and Trump wins the whole damn thing. He's going to do a lot of good for our country.

He's going to bring us back to where we were and where we still should have been.

Can you specifically tell me what is. 3 or 4 things that we "were" and "should still be"? I have asked this before of Trump supporters, but I can't get a specific answer.

1.) Immigration -

Our neighbor Mexico is beating us at the border and it's a disgrace. Trump is going to be tough on immigration because the money we spend on healthcare, jail, etc for these illegals can be used to create jobs. Hilary is weak on immigration and would let everyone in for all she cares.

2.) Trade -

We're getting beat by China, Japan, and Mexico in trade. Trump is going to bring jobs back to America and win the Mexican vote. He has a very large company and has trade partners across the globe. The Art of the Deal is one of the best selling business books of all time.

3.) Foreign Policy -

Our current foreign policy is a joke. Our allies hate us and our enemies are getting stronger by the day. Trump was against the 2 trillion dollar campaign in Iraq because he said it would destabilize the Middle East. Trump would be hard nosed with Iran who are trying to take over Iraq. Trump would cut off ISIS' money supply by bombing their oil fields.

4.) Social Issues -

Trump doesn't have time to be politically correct. He's going to crush the liberal media as he has done so far. He speaks the truth and I don't think he'll be soft and allow all this race baiting and victim mentality from the GLBT to continue. He's a hard nosed Christian and I think he empowers people when he roasts people in the media.

He says everything you wish other politicians would. He will stop the liberal, sissy takeover we've seen. He doesn't care what people think he only cares about the truth.

Yes he sounds just like my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm a registered Republican. I won't vote for Trump no matter what. He is more what's wrong with our country than anyone else running. (Fame = value; money = "I have something to say and you should listen")

 

[jon_mx]

Obama has lost 76 House seats, 15 Senate seats. Has any other president come close?http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/mid-term_elections.php

A little misleading when you are only looking at mid-term elections.And FDR lost 117 House seats, which is the run away winner as far as House seats are concerned. Plus Truman lost 74 House seats and 18 Senate seats, which is ballpark to Obama's mid-term numbers.

So it seems to be an issue for Democrat Presidents.

I blame that Jerry guy.

Don't 15-20% of the Democratic party supported a Socialist? Isn't it true the DNC Chair can't explain the difference between a socialist and a Democrate?

I don't think either party is as far gone as voting for Trump or Sanders. Hillary is doing her best Sanders impression, but most people don't believe she'd be that hard left either; right now, Republicans are getting caught up in who can be more conservative on abortion, which is not a good look either.

I can't disagree with either point.

Are you threatened by another women in the field, and this one, actually answering questions?

I don't know much about her other than her HP executive experience and a failed Senate run, but she did a very good job in the first debate and has been making her points in a clear, concise manner.

Bad move, imo. Acknowledging her only gives her credibility. I don't think she has a chance but this type of thing only fans the flames.

Actually I used to really like Fiorina. When she ran for senator against Boxer, I heard her give a speech about how excessive red tape was costing California jobs going to Texas. I agreed with that speech and I voted for her. But these days she's spouting a lot of nonsense. I explained how in the thread devoted to her. She sounds very impressive but it's still a lot of nonsense.

Sorry I agree with a billionaire. Such a dumb thing to do. You're as foolish as the woman you want to be president.

So anybody who becomes a billionaire in the business world makes them qualified to be president? Such a dumb thing to say.

Considering there are only 615 billionaires in the United States I would say that puts them into a pretty special class of people with business skills. They are an exclusive 0.00019373% of the population. Specifically regarding Donald Trump who has acquired a personal wealth of 11 billion dollars, has written a best selling business book "The Art of the Deal", and has an Ivy League education... I don't think it's a dumb thing to say at all.

Furthermore, when you consider our country is in a multi-trillion dollar deficit bringing in somebody with a track record of accumulating wealth and closing deals on a global scale is a no-brainer. Specifically somebody with a Bachelors in Economics like Trump also helps matters. I don't think it was a very dumb thing for me to say at all. Do you have any specific skills that have allowed you to excel at business so much that you're in a select 0.00019373% of the population?

What qualified him was his being born to a rich father and inheriting a real estate management corporation in NYC at the beginning of the Manhattan real estate boom.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Trump's father, Fred, had known Abe Beame, then the mayor, for some 30 years — and had been a campaign contributor for 20; the firm is tied to the same Brooklyn Democratic machine which spawned Beame's political career. Trump's attorney Bunny Lindenbaum, seated beside him in the courtroom that morning, is Beame's oldest and closest friend. Penn Central representatives began negotiating with Trump two weeks after Beame became mayor. Trump's option is scheduled to end when Beame's term is up. There can be no misunderstanding: Trump, in that Philadelphia courtroom, was executing a political option.

[Maurile Tremblay]

Finally, is a trade deficit automatically a bad thing?

In economics it's not, but in politics it is because producers do more lobbying than consumers.

yea, those micro and macro economic classes as a 20 year old are a clear prerequisite to being a president

I don't know how others feel about this but when Trump said "Wharton School of Business" during the debates I naturally thought he meant he had an MBA, which I thought yeah sounded impressive. Now it turns out that's just undergrad. No, rich daddy gets him into Penn where he gets a business degree. He graduated at 23 which tells me he had some bumps in the road academically (NTTAWWT, but let's face it he's a blowhard telling people he went to "Wharton" and he wants to be president of the USA). His dad was on the board at his elite private HS too, so that got him in there but behavioral problems led to his dismissal, whereupon he was sent off to military school. Actually everything you mention seems to make him look worse and worse. Again I wouldn't hold this against ordinary folks but this guy is running for president and is making himself look like he's some self-accomplished, blue collar common sense talker from the ol' neighborhood. He's not.

His dad sounds like he was the man.Clearly by his wealth and leading poll numbers he learned something from his old man. He can do a lot for our country's economy. He has vast resources and connections. China loves Trump.

Are we going to bring up his multiple failed marriages? Look at Reagan and his illustrious Eureka education. I almost went to that school but ultimately passed. The fact is he has education, pedigree, attitude, and wealth. I think he fully believes he's going to start burning China and Mexico on deals. I believe he wants to create the best army on the planet.

He wants to optimize the United States.

He has a hot wife, I'll say that. I honestly can't think about one serious qualification for the guy except that he knows the Manhattan real estate market like the back of his hand. His sole policy position is he wants to build a wall along Mexico.

Actually I thought Rubio embarrassed him by bringing up the fact that most of our immigrants don't come from Mexico. And the securing the border issue has merit but not building a wall along the whole damned length of the border.

After that I like to think of myself as a political junkie but I do not have any idea what else he supports and he's leading the GOP.

I actually have some really serious negative views of Trump as a politician, I don't think people are taking him seriously enough and I think he's potentially a very dangerous damaging guy, not just for the GOP but the whole country if he keeps this up.

As I recall he locked himself or one of his cabinet secretaries in a room because he didn't like being told what to do by Congress. It's basically a galaxy away in time and place from the modern world but that's essentially what I was referring to.

Can you imagine what a Trump would do with the executive privileges first pushed by Bush and now expanded by Obama? How does the phrase benevolent autocrat strike you?

Eminence, remember how you were looking for a good pick up line a few weeks back? Telling girls you wanted to fingerblast them wasn't cutting it.

The fact that you lived in your parent's basement, but that you were planning to purchase a $30,000 party pad shack in the worst neighborhood of St. Petersburg, that wasn't gonna fly.

So forget all that. Just tell her you're a huge Donald Trump fan. That ought to get you in.

Jobs and economic growth will solve most social issues. We need a numbers President and we need one now. Hilary will be such a novelty act. Trump will beat Clinton. He will expose her everyday on the media.

In the dystopia where Trump gets elected he would be somewhere between an Andrew Johnson and a Silvio Berlusconi.

lolAndrew Johnson was 100 times the President that Donald Trump could ever be.

As I recall he locked himself or one of his cabinet secretaries in a room because he didn't like being told what to do by Congress. It's basically a galaxy away in time and place from the modern world but that's essentially what I was referring to.

Can you imagine what a Trump would do with the executive privileges first pushed by Bush and now expanded by Obama? How does the phrase benevolent autocrat strike you?

Couldn't be worse than Obamacare which Trump has said he will repeal.

Trump's FOS, he could just as easily declare universal health care. Or build a thousand hospitals, or halt payments to medicare to balance the budget. You have no idea what that guy will do, but whatever he does it will be for himself.

Schmidt on Maher was interesting. Maher didn't even need to rebut him. Schmidt said it all.

Trump's father, Fred, had known Abe Beame, then the mayor, for some 30 years and had been a campaign contributor for 20; the firm is tied to the same Brooklyn Democratic machine which spawned Beame's political career. Trump's attorney Bunny Lindenbaum, seated beside him in the courtroom that morning, is Beame's oldest and closest friend. Penn Central representatives began negotiating with Trump two weeks after Beame became mayor. Trump's option is scheduled to end when Beame's term is up. There can be no misunderstanding: Trump, in that Philadelphia courtroom, was executing a political option.

Read part one so far. Barrett is a great reporter - he also did a book on Giuliani in 2000.

Not surprised at all - so many of these guys make their fortune off government contracts then comback to pretend to be saviors. Perot was much the same in that regard.

25% of the Republican Party agrees with Eminence. What more needs to be said? Talk your way out of that one, rockaction! Explain it, BeaverCleaver! Try to find a liberal analogy, Max Threshold!

Just admit you guys are ####ed.

Sorry I agree with a billionaire. Such a dumb thing to do. You're as foolish as the woman you want to be president.

So anybody who becomes a billionaire in the business world makes them qualified to be president? Such a dumb thing to say.

Considering there are only 615 billionaires in the United States I would say that puts them into a pretty special class of people with business skills. They are an exclusive 0.00019373% of the population. Specifically regarding Donald Trump who has acquired a personal wealth of 11 billion dollars, has written a best selling business book "The Art of the Deal", and has an Ivy League education... I don't think it's a dumb thing to say at all.

Furthermore, when you consider our country is in a multi-trillion dollar deficit bringing in somebody with a track record of accumulating wealth and closing deals on a global scale is a no-brainer. Specifically somebody with a Bachelors in Economics like Trump also helps matters. I don't think it was a very dumb thing for me to say at all. Do you have any specific skills that have allowed you to excel at business so much that you're in a select 0.00019373% of the population?

There is only 1 POTUS and has only been 44 in the last 226 years so that is way more rare and special than being a billionaire. Obama also has become President, Senator, written a best selling book and has an Ivy League education. Yet, you disagree with nearly everything he does.

For some, an Ivy League education isn't what it used to be.
