He'd be the best Secretary of Cyber, the best. He does tremendous things on his computer. Now, listen, I've had Cyber experts tell me that he does things they haven't even seen before. He's the best cyberer in the world. We're going to be so great at cybering with him in charge.
The plight of the working class in the face of a global information based economy is a legitimate concern. The anger propping up Trump is rooted in very deep underlying feelings of despair IMO.
The perception that immigrants are taking away jobs.

I think you are right - but it is more than just despair - it's like the five levels of grief. Sooner or later we will get to anger.
You don't do difficult. You don't think deeply enough to get there. I'm done discussing things with you.
Disagree. The first step is to make sure he doesn't get elected. Because he's a racist, sexist idiot who shouldn't be anywhere near the White House.
No ####. The two sons in particular are in front of cameras constantly running their mouths.
LOL. I never asked you to discuss anything in the first place. Your Schtick here or any other thread is to get personal as soon as someone has a different opinion. Which usually validates you made an ### of yourself again like you continue doing in this thread.
Well, hopefully this cycle goes at least some way toward them figuring out that blaming minorities and immigrants isn't going to fix the problem. The path to helping them lies in the same "big government" social safety nets and education programs that they like to cry about so much.
Three of Trump's kids actively work for his campaign. They make appearances for Trump and speak for Trump on campaign issues. They are as fair game as Gingrich, Giuliani, Christie, etc. This shouldn't even be a topic of debate.
Cabinet spots would be my guess. Christie has always been a clown, but Giuliani is a guy that I actually used to respect -- it's absolutely shameful how far he's fallen with his whoring for Trump. Even Newt has backed off and these two are still out there shilling...what has trump promised this guy? Him and Christie are trump's b itches.
Be careful who you include in the "you" there. I didn't vote for him in the primaries! I was actually hoping we'd see a political realignment out of this. We will still might.
Pencil me in for this discussion November 9th. In the meantime, let's avoid an easily avoidable disaster first.
Julian Assange has been hinting that he's going to release more DNC emails this week. The Trumpkin crew obviously thinks that it'll be a game changer.
It's clearly a blind trust because his families would run his businesses for him and there would never be any mention of his business to him while he's President. I mean people would have to be blind to think that would ever happen. Blind Trust!
No, no it doesn't. The path lies in the government stopping screwing their constituents.
Well, that was easy. Well done -- you should run for office! Wish I had known that earlier. Stay gold, Ponyboy.
It will only happen if HRC wins. The White House is not ostentatious enough for Trump.
It's a quote from The Outsiders referencing your naivete, in this case about the political party that you continue to defend with every breath despite claiming to no longer be a part of.
At this point, isn't it easier to create a list of things Trump understands rather that misunderstand?
Damn. What money does the NY AG expect Trump to use to bribe public officials and settle lawsuits? His own? That's what the plebeians do.
I don't know but I do think the fact that his charity was disqualified because it couldn't produce a certificate is kind of funny.

Trump: some veterans aren't strong and "can't handle" PTSD
Fair enough. I'll wait to see the full video/transcript before passing further judgment.
There is a difference between perception and reality. Personally, it sucks to be an illegal and have a job, because you have no legal recourse. But immigrants do more than pick apples. I know several small businessmen - people like framers and roofers - who complain they can no longer compete with the other small businesses in the same field that use mainly illegal labor. Don't know how extensive it is, but things like that do contribute to the perception.
Well let's take these one by one:
Not a big deal imo, but its just another example of him showing his true colors regarding how little he thinks of people that are weak or beneath him.
I'll mock it and deny it. Then I'll insist that it needs to be looked at in context. Then I'll cry and whine. Then I'll curl up in a corner and try to hide.
You can say that it is perceived - that doesn't mean it is not a legitimate fear. They still need to be addressed. Nor am I saying that the Trump solutions are good ones. What I am saying is that if we don't address this ####. the next "Trump" may be worse than this one.
Net jobs over the last number of years have all gone to immigrants (legal and illegal).
I don't think we should address fears that aren't real, other than to say, "calm down, it's not real." What else are we supposed to do?
