Honestly just want to say that, generally speaking, smart and educated folks don't support Trump.  That has to be difficult to process for you guys.  
If you add the majority don't support Trump, then you are correct.

 
Yeah, they did what was necessary to start fixing the disaster left by Bush & Co. Your point?

And any of the side arguments don't even matter, because... Trump. He sums up the modern right quite well.
Which is why so many Republicans aren't endorsing him right?

You can thank QE for your 401k, it's all relative. Either party can print $, you aren't proving much. Sound a little butt hurt that the tactic used by your party is now being used by the other.

Every smart and educated Trump voter likes to believe they are the one smart and educated Trump voter who is doing it for some other reason than to be an ###hole.

 
So you stoop to their level and beat them with numbers? How will that heal the wounds of this land?
bueno, the healer?

Not only that, but they become convinced that you are actually the buffoon because you aren't trying to use logic and reason. BTW - I feel this way about many libtards on this board, which is why sometimes I come across as condescending.
Oh well, not so much

Unpack this for me. I'm actually thrilled BTW -- by nominating the orange moron the right handed the Executive and Judicial branches over to the good guys, along with the upper house of the Legislative. Why would any Democrat be butt hurt right now?

 
Go ahead and compare sitting legislators who have vs haven't and report back. He represents the right, as much as you don't want to admit it.
In May, 37% supported Trump, 31.5% supported the nominee in the name of Party unity and 23.2% did not support Trump. The rest were either undecided or abstained from answering the question. I suspect many of those who wanted Party unity are regretting that now. The right is splintered. Trump is the Party nominee, but he doesn't represent the right.

I was hoping that the Trump candidacy would split the Party in two, leaving the lunatic fringe in the Tea Party, and moving the mainstream more toward the center (where they would have a chance to pick up moderate Democrats.) It could still happen, but is much less likely now. A center-right Party would be good for the country.

Your whole "uneducated voter" claims are funny, can you think of any factors that brought herds of uneducated voters out recently? 

I'm not a Trump fan but you and the other swarming libs in here are pretty pathetic..but carry on no point in stopping now.

I can agree with this, unfortunately we are stuck with 2 complete scumbags. I guess Gary Johnson is the play?

What kills me is that the Tea Party had great potential as a tax revolt party, then the lunatic fringe took it over, then the mainstream Republicans got involved to bring the Tea PArty "back into the fold." I wish they had just let them go, but then that would have weakened the Republicans in too many "purple" states.

 
    With his flip flop on immigration, there is no longer a single issue that Trump hasn't done a complete 180 on over the last six months.  He's just a troll with a microphone.  Even Ann Coulter is turning on him now.

He's done.  His only shot was to lay low and hope to let Clinton lose votes.  He has no shot at gaining new votes from the middle, and he's just going to lose the more vitriolic racist votes from his base.  Which to date have been his most enthusiastic supporters.

They'll never let that group go, unfortunately.

 
I've been hanging out watching the values of my house and my 401K both skyrocket under a successful administration. You?
Your 401k has skyrocketed due to central bank policies, similar for your house (although your home value is prob safer than your stock/bond values). Between the Fed, BOJ, EU, etc. they've forced investors into risky assets (such as US stocks and American RE) since yields are negative all over the world on "safe" investments. What type of investment does one make where they are guaranteed a loss? The economy is roaring and doing so well, yet our Federal Reserve can't hike interest rates 25 basis points (which is absolutely nothing) all year? They did it once in December and we saw the market tumble 10% in Jan/Feb. Prior to this year, they jawboned messaging of 4 rate hikes, we're yet to get one. A lot of smoke and mirrors going on and the only thing keeping your 401k propped up is the extremely blind investors who take solace in the fact that the Fed will keep assets propped up. When that confidence falls, and it will at some point (prob after the election, maybe not until 2018), your skyrocketing and overinflated 401k will come back to Earth.

Edit: & I'm not defending Trump (I hate him), just pointing out reality.

What? Didn't she just write some awful book about him?

I agree with you on a center-right party being good for the country.  I was hoping this would happen too after 2012.  Unfortunately, the party was overrun with whackos and people too weak to stop them.  Which leads to an idiot dbag like Trump representing the right and the party.

Rachel Maddow Just Wrecked Trump By Filleting His Campaign Manager With Smart Questions

Rachel Maddow’s interview with Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was a disaster for Trump as Maddow pushed for details on policy and Conway’s performance proved that Trump’s latest campaign reboot is a fraud.

Maddow asked Conway if Trump has ever apologized to Judge Curiel. Conway’s answer was, “I don’t know.” Conway retreated to Trump’s use of the vague word regret. Maddow followed up and said, “but there has been no apology.” Maddow turned to the Trump’s remarks about the Khan family and asked if Trump has apologized to the Khan family directly. Conway answered, “I don’t know.” Trump’s campaign manager talked about her own personal feeling about the Khan family.

Rachel Maddow highlighted the fact that Trump’s behavior like getting into a fight with a Gold Star family is shockingly personal. Maddow asked about Trump’s Muslim ban, and Conway did more dancing. Maddow got Conway to admit that the Trump campaign no longer supports banning all Muslims. The MFSNBC host did something rare that isn’t often seen in mainstream interviews. She pressed for details.

Maddow said that if Trump wanted the controversies to end, he is the one that has to end them by telling the American people exactly what he means. Rachel Maddow told Trump’s campaign manager that the candidate created these controversies, and he has to clean them up. Maddow broke up the false equivalency pushed by the Trump campaign that Clinton not holding press conferences is the same as Trump planning to ban Muslims.

The Trump campaign’s latest reboot just ran into a buzzsaw named Rachel Maddow.

The MSNBC host pointed out that Trump’s extreme vetting of immigrants was rejected by the Supreme Court in the past. Kellyanne Conway said that Trump is talking about four issues a week, and Maddow replied, but Trump’s positions have to make sense.

Maddow called out Trump for wasting donors’ money in Mississippi. She asked why was he there? Conway answered, “He wanted to hold a rally in Mississippi.”

Rachel Maddow asked Conway if the Clinton Foundation is so bad, why did Trump donate to it? Conway responded by admitting that the Clinton Foundation does some good work. The subject turned to Trump not releasing his tax returns and asked why should this audit out only apply to him? Conway said that voters don’t need to see his tax returns.

Maddow used Trump’s attack on Hillary Clinton’s health to ask if Trump should release a full health record. Conway’s answer, “Perhaps.” Trump’s campaign manager highlighted how vigorous Trump is “for a man his age.”

Rachel Maddow led Conway into torching the entire Trump reboot by simply asking intelligent questions. It wasn’t pretty, and Rachel Maddow just doomed Trump’s reboot to total failure.

 
Squis, you're obviously posting from a biased source so I won't comment on most of the post. But this part isn't going to help Trump:

When all 15 or however many of your potential nominees get crushed by Trump you have to think it's a wake up call.....let's hope. Ted Cruz was the next best option....really? What a joke. They should have a layup against a dem nominee that should be in jail but they are morons.

Bueno, I don't recall insulting you over the gay marriage issue. If I did, it wasn't intentional and I apologize if you took it that way. I really did defend opponents of gay marriage here against people who were, IMO, too absolutist about calling them all bigots. I have done the same, by the way, for opponents of illegal immigration, and members of the Tea Party. I have no qualms about calling people bigots if I think they deserve it, but I hate when entire groups are called bigots. 

 
I think it's hilarious how in the Muslim messages video Conway tries to deflect by saying we know nothing about Hillary's policies.  This just reinforces the belief that no-one in the Trump campaign can read:

She also just yesterday released this plan for helping small businesses with the help of Mark Cuban and his Shark Tank cohorts:

Has Trump released anything ever like that?

But if a republican was in office the last 8 years, things would be absolutely roses.  Republicans would not be giving two ####s about the middle class right now, just like they did before Obama.

You're brainwashed, it's not just you, it's every Democrat/Republican. Neither party gives a #### about you or me, they're exactly the same and they both suck. We'd be better off without them. My point had little to do with Dems/GOP/Obama.

& BTW the wealth gap between the super rich and everyone else has exploded over the last 8 years. The rich have gotten astronomically richer. So the Democrats (the party it appears you love) have boosted them into a new stratosphere (although to be fair, it would've happened with the GOP too). If you haven't noticed, it's trickling up, not down.

This just in - Trump will allow murderers and rapists to stay if they pay their back taxes:

Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he would allow exceptions to let some undocumented immigrants to stay in the US, vowing he wouldn't grant them citizenship but telling Fox News, "there's no amnesty, but we work with them."
For Trump, whose rise to the Republican nomination was based in large part on his hardline immigration policies, the comments are the clearest sign yet that he is reconsidering his pledge to deport all of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, a key part of his campaign platform.
"No citizenship. Let me go a step further -- they'll pay back-taxes, they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty, as such, there's no amnesty, but we work with them," Trump told Sean Hannity when asked if he would allow for exceptions to his long-held position.

Yes, being brainwashed is a shame. Some guy here was brainwashed to the point that he started a thread about Heinz ketchup, as he couldn't imagine that anyone would prefer another brand. My point has little to do with Dem/GOP/Obama, as I suspect he was a Trump supporter.
