Official Donald Trump for President thread (3 Viewers)

Look in the mirror you old rascal . Your name ought to be spoons because you are constantly stirring the pot
What am I looking in the mirror about...you complain about people spamming this thread...but have no problem when its done here and elsewhere by your fellow Trump supporters.

Seems your one way street comment is quite fitting for you as well.

 
How can anybody seriously vote for this? This isn't just a difference in opinion about politics between the D and R this time. Hillary is a seriously flawed candidate. But this isn't just incompetence that a vote for Trump endorses. It is ineptitude, incoherence, misunderstanding of facts and procedure -- it's almost as bad as Sarah Palin being president. 
Good thing I don't take it seriously.

 
Are there real people actually still considering voting for this guy? 
I'm pushing the button marked Trump as if I was launching all of our nuclear missiles. That way, when Shillary sends us further down the crapper I can blame the rest of you.

“If I talked like Donald Trump, I’d get sent to the principal’s office immediately.”

Interesting challenge for teachers trying to navigate this election.  Nearly every school teaches the values of acceptance, respect, community, love.  It would be very hard to control a room of 20-30 kids without reinforcing those values often.  I don't know if I've been in a school recently that didn't have some kind of anti-bullying signs hanging in the hallways.  Now kids are trying to reconcile the values they've been taught with what they're seeing on TV, and they're asking questions.  At the same time, many of the parents support Trump.  And of course kids of Muslim and immigrant families are scared about what is going to happen to them. 

A recent survey of teachers found many are struggling to reassure students, particularly those from immigrant and Muslim families, who are frightened about what a Trump victory in November might mean for them. (A new ad from Hillary Clinton’s campaign centers on kids as a particularly vulnerable audience for the presumptive Republican nominee’s rhetoric.)

At the same time, educators report they are afraid to violate school-district policies that prohibit political advocacy in the classroom. They also worry about alienating families that might hold divergent viewpoints. On the upside, there's a chance this could spur great civic engagement by young people—but at what price?

Im pushing the button for Gary Johnson...that way no matter who is voted in I can blame those who voted for the winner and mock those who voted for Trump.

Gotta hand it to ya. That is the best option. Voted for him last go round. When Trump loses, I'm going to turn on him, berate him and call him a loser. I'll stamp a big L on his forehead in my avatar.

Honestly, is there anyone Trump can get along with?  It's sort of required by the job.

This is the same reason I'm Ridin' the Johnson.  That way when Clinton/Trump really screw things up, my conscience is clear.

 
If elected, do you think Trump will run the Presidency just like he runs his corporations? 
I can't imagine he knows any other way. Christie caught on with the culture quickly and attached his lips to The Don's ### quicker than anyone. The sucking up in Washington would be entertaining as would the volleys with anyone voting against any of his plans. That's the part I would really love to see. Donald tweet: 'btw, senator Blowhard from (insert state) voted against my plan. Remember to vote him out in his next election. He's such a loser'.

You are right. But I can easily see open revolt against him because of his "my way or the highway" attitude, even leading to impeachment

 
I really do not think Trump thought this  through at all.  I don't think he can distance himself from Twitter or his businesses if he were in office. 

Im also terrified about what information he may nonchalantly give away in off the cuff speeches once he's getting daily security briefings as the officially nominee.

Here in New Orleans we had a "Trump" - former mayor Ray Nagin. He was a 'renegade businessman' 'not connected to the establishment' who would 'run the city like a business.' I have seen this in action. You are right, this will likely happen. As it did happen Nagin went to jail.

So Rubio and Ryan are going to speak?  Would love to see one of them man up and just tear apart the GOP and Trump and frankly any person that calls themselves a conservative member of the party actually allowing this ****show to get this far.  Would be a great story.  Let everyone see your prepared speech and all that and get it loaded in the TelePrompters and then just give a different speech finally being whatever is left of a voice of reason for the GOP.

If they did it right both of them could basically become the new ladership of the party and maybe it will finally result in Rience Preibus melting and falling back into the dimention he came from.

Cruz is also, considering how Trump ripped into Cruz and also Cruz's father (Trump accused him of being in on the JFK assassination)

 
For those who care to take a breath and not yell, I have a question. 

What GOP values are not coming thru with the current nominee? What specifically is not appealing to you? Your moral values vs the rest of society and the Barons of Wall Street?

I'm asking because I have hard time trying to figure out how the religious right ever attached themselves to the GOP or how that marriage started to begin with? Because if you are for lower taxes and explosive capitalism than you had to know the types of people at the heads of those ships, they weren't choir boys by any stretch of the imagination. 

What does the Republican Party stand for because they seem to not understand the resentment that many in the GOP or fiscal conservatives that usually vote their way would eventually revolt. Some folks seem to not accept that many would be voters of the Republican Party want nothing to do with people prying into their personal lives. Keep your religion to yourself. 

What many dislike about Muslim values and the way they run their politics in the Middle East...we have our own problems with those mixing religion and politics here. It's why so many stopped voting for the Conservatives as somewhere conservative meant you were a born again Christian and clearly Trump has shown that there are plenty who want to vote GOP but don't want to hear squat on religion right now. 

What GOP values are being railroaded at the moment? I hear Trump talk about jobs, taxes, trade, what fiscal conservative or someone who values economics as basically the 1st thing that needs to run smooth before any of the social programs get tacked on top, who is not intrigued with what Trump might be able to shake up? What's the real harm in making those idiots in D.C. realize they can be removed quickly if they don't start working on programs that the average Joe in this country will start benefiting from? And it won't be new entitlements, it's got to be something people can believe in and actually work towards a goal in this country again.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how any of the following could even consider voting for Trump.
 

  • Women
  • Minorities
  • Men with wives
  • Men with daughters
Pretty much leaves us with the group that accounts for most of his support - uneducated white males. But, #Murca, right? And yes, I know plenty of uneducated white men have wives and daughters, but they're probably not smart enough to realize that Trump thinks they are 2nd class citizens (the wives and daughters, not the redneck men.)

I'd love for that to be Paul Ryan.  Even as a liberal I had a lot of respect for him until he admitted Trump's statement about the Mexican judge was the definition of racism; and then said he was supporting him anyway.  I think in his heart he'd love to do what you're suggesting, but I doubt he has the stones to do it.  If he did though, he'd have my vote in 2020.

Why would Paul Ryan want to rip apart the GOP is an attempt to become a party leader when he's already on track among GOP insiders to become a party leader?

If he had any honor and integrity I'd think he would much rather be the leader of a GOP not in bed with Donald Trump and the ridiculousness that the GOP is right now.  But I'm an idealist.

 
The anti-Trump GOP types is who I am asking. They seem to be upset and I guess I mistakenly ID Clinton supporters who are in fact just anti-Trump. I'm asking why the hate?
Because he is not a conservative?

Because he is full of crap?

Because he has zero experience actually dealing with the people he will need to deal with internationally and domestically when it comes to the economy.

Because the government is not run like a real estate deal.

Because he is the epitome of do as I say not as I do with many of his thoughts on trade.

Should I go on?

And because this election is not just about his nutty economic ideas, but the job requires a ton when it comes to foreign affairs and he does not seem to have the knowledge to deal with any of it...or even the thought to learn about things.

I believe Trump understands the economy better than you say he does. He is a graduate of one of the best IIRC, he's built a little empire on his brand name, I don't hate this part of his make up like you do. I'm not worried about him sitting down with foreign leaders, have you seen the Global Roster lately? Pretty sorry bunch of punks.  The JV as Obama calls them all.

Because the government is not run like a real estate deal. It's not run like a soup kitchen either, what's your point? Obama had little experience with hands on management and it really shows at times. 

Because he is the epitome of do as I say not as I do with many of his thoughts on trade. Time and time again we have seen the secret side of folks...look at Billy Boy in the White House, do as I say not what I do...c'mon now.

Should I go on? That's plenty to start

And because this election is not just about his nutty economic ideas, but the job requires a ton when it comes to foreign affairs and he does not seem to have the knowledge to deal with any of it...or even the thought to learn about things.
Thanks

Seriously? He's a complete babbling moron with zero clue on anything of importance and zero substance. If you're looking for more than bigotry and juvenile insults, he has nothing to offer.
Further than not knowing anything, I honestly don't think he wants to be President. He has stated before he doesn't want to deal with the day-to-day grind of the Presidency. Well, that is a big part of the job. He just wants to run and get the attention. Doesn't want to do any work

 
By nearly every definition of the word?  Guy has been a long time democrat.  Nearly every position of his has changed to make this run.

There are several that are not nearly as full of crap as Hillary and Trump...the excuse that "they all do it" is weak here.  Not all do what he does and lie like he does all the time.

Trump understands real estate.  Economists have ripped nearly every proposal he has made when it comes to trade and taxes.  You are not worried about him sitting down with global leaders?  Did you watch that interview?  You think they will let him get away with changing the subject constantly and talking about himself and spreading BS?

This is about Trump...not Obama (who I never voted for).  And he had more experience in government than Trump as well.

Again...is this about Billy Boy or Trump.  He is the very thing he complains about.

Your question assumes something that you can's assume.  "What GOP values are not coming thru with the current nominee," presupposes that the GOP actually has values.  It doesn't.  Not anymore.  The republican party doesn't stand for anything anymore.    And the rest of your post actually trying to articulate what Trump has been talking about might look good in a post, but doesn't match with what he is actually saying - which is nothing of any substance at all.  He is the very definition of a Twitterverse politician with literally no substance behind him.  I guess we deserve it at this point.  I would just like Ryan or Rubio to have a, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore," moment if for nothing else to see what potential leadership should look like for the second major party in our country.

 
he has a lot of speeches on Youtube, I think you are being pretty closed minded. He says some foul things but there has been hours of his rants and quite a bit of it has some substance when folks are not stomping with their fingers in their ears crying bigot. 

Name calling doesn't further the anti-Trump movement at this point and for a long while really, not understanding the repeat here. 
It's not name calling, it's the simple truth. He's utterly clueless on everything. Just the greatest hits include defaulting on our national debt, returning to 1920s style isolationism / protectionism, providing nuclear weapons to the Saudis, leaving NATO, ordering our military to use torture and deliberately target civilians, and using nuclear weapons in Syria against ISIS. Those ideas should horrify pretty anyone with a functioning brain. The bigotry (which again, isn't just "crying" but blatantly obvious) is just the cherry on top of the sundae made up of stupid and dangerous.

Because he would appeal to millions of voters in the middle.  If done correctly it could mitigate a lot of damage down ticket that Trump will inflict.

Problem is Ryan endorsed Trump. He sold his soul.

What about Ben Sasse?

Now we're getting somewhere. I appreciate you playing ball for a minute with me. 

You might not think Trump is much of a GOP but I think many of you are low balling your hatred of the Clintons and what is likely to happen over the next 4-8 years. I'm kind of shocked you all have bought into Trump is Godzilla and must be stopped at all costs even aligning with Hilary Clinton which is what you are doing. You can say no but every stay at home is at least 1/2 vote for Clinton, enough folks cutting off their noses and it's a lot of votes for Clinton.

Interesting- Rubio's schedule has been fixed for some time as having him nowhere near the Convention.

Ryan just gave a major speech in WI and he did not mention Trump once.

Its possible the party leadership is yanking their chains.... or they're showing up for a floor fight. Tom Coburn just announced he will accept having his name placed in nomination if drafted. 

However what's clear by now to me is that the "party" leadership WANTS Trump. They have for some time. Preibus my have wanted him from the beginning, and they just took steps to threaten party members who would have rebelled in the rules committee.

Dont forget Cruz either. Regardless of politics it's always stomach turning to see men of supposed principle bend the knee.

You are simply taking 5 second sound bites and regurgitating them into your talking points tapes. 

That's a very narrow view of what Trump has been speaking about. If it were the way you describe he would not have gotten the number of votes he did so it's not worth arguing with you. It's an opinion and that's the simple truth, not the way you spun it.

Also odd that name calling by message board posters bad....name calling by presidential candidates is all good though.

 
Honestly, that shtick is kinda what I love about him.  Of course he knows it's a hypocritical position, but he's not gonna come right out and say it.  He's a classic bull####ter, and I love that about him.  Won't vote for him for president, but I'm pretty sure he'd be great over a few beers.
I'm pretty sure if I were in a social setting with him, I'd want to punch him in the face inside of 15 minutes.

Take a few minutes to read through these 141 things Donald Trump has said and done.  This is not a person who should be anywhere close to being elected as President.

Those are policy positions pulled directly from his speeches, guy. His policy ideas aren't what is resonating with his supporters, it's the angry nativism and a middle finger to the establishment.

What they want is for the convention not to be a complete boondoggle so they can raise enough money to pay for it and some of the downticket races.
