You're delusional if you think the rural areas, where guns are good and immigrants are bad, are ever again going to take the day at the ballot at the national level. This answers the state office holders question above too. "Well then how come MS, AL, LA, AR etc. all have Republican state office holders?"
So he's under US & international criminal investigation and he has experienced the most embarrassing result of his career.
Or a debate. This is going to be shockingly bad, like can't turn away but cringing bad, for my boy the Don.
Was referring to the debates -- which are much more strictly moderated than the circuses The Republicans put on in the primary. No audience response is allowed; Trump is going to babble out some gibberish that ends with a "crooked Hillary" punchline, wait for the cheers, and just get get :crickets: -- Hillary is going to tie him in knots on every policy point. It's going to be abject humiliation.
Actually Gov. Edwards told Trump to stay away unless he was going to volunteer. That is why Obama stayed away until it calms down a bit
A really good move would have been to very publicly donate a nice chunk of personal $$$ to the relief effort.
Correct - The political parties have stayed in the same place and only reluctantly followed what the people of the country have done. The lack of leadership from the Democrats on social issues has been shameful
I think the biggest thing Hillary needs to avoid is coming across like a smug condescending #####. Because she's clearly far more intelligent and she's going to dropkick him across the stage like the lifeless dummy he is. But how she comes across to those watching at home will be critical. Right or wrong, women in power are often seen as cold, cruel #####es. That's just the way it is. If she comes across as too cold and cruel when she's dominating him it could hurt her. So while she needs to destroy him I think she needs to be careful how she does it. Just stick to the facts and don't get too smug. That may not be easy to do to because the easy impulse will be to smash him to a pulp once he starts in with all the lies and BS which he's almost certainly going to do because you know he won't be able to help or stop himself.
Agree -- although provoking him into saying something truly awful (like, say, calling her a c___ or something, which is probably well within the realm of possibility) might be pretty legit too. At the end of the day, she's so far ahead that she really just needs to hold par, so playing it safe and just calmly showing how much smarter she is the right play.
True, but to be fair a lot of people hate Hillary, and rightfully so, and will vote for Trump just based on this fact. I can't blame that POV, especially if they aren't that familiar with Trump. On the surface, he's an outsider, a businessman, and a well known figure.Isn't this the second "resignation" of the head of The Donald's campaign in like 3 or 4 months? And people out still think he has any semblance of good judgement? With all his talk of the "best" people, the "brightest" people, all he's done is fire the very people he's chosen to run his campaign.
Yet he'll still get at least 40% of the popular vote.
I believe this was Riversco's theory a month or more ago.
It'll be tough for him to find someone with some influence on Trump. He may have to roll all the way over in his bed to find someone.
I agrgee with that, but she seems to have sniffed out that particular trap.
It's the position that in my opinion that defies all logic and common sense. No amount of hatred for Hillary should lead one to vote for Trump. Just suck it up for four years.
Yeah, according to the financial records from "The Apprentice", Donald doesn't actually donate money out of his own pocket. He *says* he will but he makes someone else do it.
Yeah she certainly doesn't lack intelligence and she knows how to play the game, that's for sure.
I don't fault anyone for voting for Gary Johnson -- that's what the vast majority of my conservative-leaning family and friends are doing.
Well it does seem to be a bit more than hatred for just Hillary. It's also hatred for Obama, immigrants, Muslims, other races, those that want some restrictions on arms sales (they're coming for the guns!). A popular refrain at the Trump rallies is "I love me this hate", or something to that effect. Sad, really.
Yeah, no way he'd do it IMO, but that would generate a ton of goodwill for him. "The best thing I can do is stay out of the way, but here is a million dollars to help the families that need it most." Even the most virulent of the haters would have to give him some credit for something like that; I would.
They are gonna hate no matter what. Hillary is a great target, but Obama was not, and they found plenty of hate for him.
He had that kind of opportunity with the veterans groups before, right? He had to be dragged and publicly shamed to follow through with that irrc.
Hatred of non-whites / Christians has been the glue that holds the Trumpkins together since day one. It's really been the only consistent theme of his campaign.
Yeah but he has no realistic chance of winning so wouldn't that be a wasted vote? Realistically, the next President is going to be either Clinton or Trump. So I'm voting for one of them and I'm absolutely under no circumstances voting for Trump. So that leaves one other option.
"I like states that don't get flooded."
I don't think it's a wasted vote, but others certainly do. I can see both sides, but IMO a much higher than usual number of 3rd party votes has the potential to send a message even if there's no chance of winning.
Well, a lot of people are saying that he's already made a sizable donation to the Baton Rouge NAMBLA chapter.
