Official Donald Trump for President thread (7 Viewers)

[Skoo]

When you begin believing you're smarter than another group of people because you've chosen one corrupt political party over another.....

Don't blame us, the Republicans are the ones who decided that anti-intellectualism would be one of their core beliefs.

Once you denounce education and science, you've clearly lost the battle of intelligence.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Hopefully this isn't directed at me....I'm not a member of a political party.  

But he labels you as "them" or "the enemy" because you dared mention anything against his right wing position.

 

[Gr00vus]

Well, duh.

Trump is facing a loss of Mondale-ian proportions, and I'm kind of disappointed that it doesn't seem like a wake up call to the grown ups on the right.  A lot of how they got where they are is easily correctable, and there are some building blocks for the future beyond this election which should be being built right now.

This from the schtick meister who pumped up Sarah Palin for months on end way back in 2008. 

 

[cstu]

I wouldn't take you up on 1000:1

SAD!

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Are we counting houses with yard signs or total number of yard signs?  Most houses with Trump yard signs have 3 or more of them along with many, many American flags. 

After the tape came out where he bragged about sexual assaulting women I foolishly thought some of them would take down the signs.  NOPE!  I think a couple of those houses I drive past every day may have added 1 or 2 more. 

At least the girl scouts now know which houses to avoid.

Dude...haven't you seen me trashing Trump in this thread?  I'm not a right winger or a left winger or an ANY winger.  I just hate when statements are made that imply that people on the other side aren't all that bright.

My apologies Steve, I mis-read your meaning.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I'm surprised that shader hasn't embraced the proud socialist history of Liverpool FC.  Bill Shankly would be ashamed. 

 

[Courtjester]

Clinton will likely be a centrist as President, in the model of her husband. The right will continue to go nuts, of course, with the Benghazi, etc nonsense, but luckily most people can see through that.

I think you are correct in this. I look to her (much to disappointment of many in her party) to be very moderate in her approaches. One could almost mistake her for being a moderate Republican.   Her and Bill are and always will be about money and they are not going to upset the apple cart by doing anything too radical.

 

[hxperson]

I'm not a Republican, I couldn't vote in the primaries for my state.  

Fair enough, but why even vocally support a guy who probably can't win on the national stage if you priority is to keep HRC out of the white house?

Anyways, I believe that as long as the GOP continues to be the party against abortion and homosexuality, its going to be very hard for them to win the Presidency.  I think Bernie was the only hope to avoid HRC, unless Putin and Wikileaks can deliver some sort of last minute hail mary. 

 

[Willie Neslon]

Some guy named McMullin polling at 22% in Utah.  Still time for him to shock the world.

Hey!  I bet he's Mormon...

 

[Steve Tasker]

My apologies Steve, I mis-read your meaning.

No problem, I'm just calling it like I see it.  A bunch of Republican in congress/candidates who went all-in on the Trump bandwagon and are now jumping off at breakneck speed to save themselves.  I don't blame them, self-preservation is one hell of a motivator, but it makes them look pretty bad to me.  There are plenty of things to criticize Democratic candidates about too, but this is a unique GOP issue at the moment.

Even Ted Cruz, for all of his faults....I at least respected the guy for having the balls to be a "never Trump" guy.  I don't agree with much of what he says, but I respected him for sticking to his guns and owning it. just like the rest of them, I guess.

 

[urbanhack]

Stat, I have been consistently a Trump supporter;

why?

 

[elbowrm]

Yeah, actually, they can.

This will be the 3rd presidential election in a row that the GOP gets smoked by the Dems.

The country IS behind their policies. Sorry, but it's true.

It's not true.  The interplay between demographics and the electoral college map will make it very, very difficult for any GOP nominee to win the White House for the foreseeable future.  The house, and a big majority of state legislatures and governorships are firmly in GOP hands.

Granted the house majority is mainly a function of the exceptionally brilliant gerrymandering that took place after the 2010 census, but that was only possible due to their aforementioned grip on state legislatures and governorships.

If anyone worried more about governing than being re-elected, the rational response towards attempting to truly solve the long term issues facing our country would be bi-partisanship.  Unfortunately, cable news and the Internet, along with the outlawing of earmarks, make that laughably unlikely.  

Gang of 8, Simpson-Bowles, common sense gun laws (full background checks, registration), and any other issues with broad popular or bipartisan support just aren't possible in this political climate.  

So our current predicament may be the worst case scenario, even for democrats.  Pres. HRC with a GOP senate and house would be a pretty centrist administration, in line with what many believe to be her natural inclination.

If the house flips, it's going to get a hell of a lot worse before t gets better, because then the Sanders/Warren wing is going to be looking for her to deliver, and she'll be forced to go along.

I'm not a right winger

Thought for sure you were a full-tilt extreme Christian type.  I recall such discussions which were exactly 'right-wing'.

We know who and what she is -- and a moderate Republican is pretty apt. It's why so many of us voted for Bernie in the primary.

 

[timschochet]

Trump may be losing to Hillary, but he's beating Paul Ryan. And based on his tweets and speeches right now, that's who he seems to be running against. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Exactly, he has to pick on someone he can beat to feel good. Such a POS

 

[Sammy3469]

Nice to know he's a concussion truther as well:

Trump making fun of NFL concussion rules. "Uh! Uh! A little ding in the head you can't play the rest of the season."

 

[Coeur de Lion]

#repealthe19th is now showing up from Trump supporters after the Nate Silver gender based electoral maps. Lovely people, these Trumpkins.

I've never shown support for any political stances on these boards.  I'm just here to mock.

I think some might assume that any creationist was "right wing."

 

[massraider]

Excellent.  How many more times does the DNC have you voting between now and election day?

Use code please.

 The chair is against the wall. The chair is against the wall.

10 points if you get the movie reference.

At least he finally picked a deserving foe.  One who you could say brought this upon himself. 

 

[massraider]

Yep, buy that narrative. Hillary Clinton is also a horrible person. I see no major difference between the two. 

Need more evidence. Seems fair.

Let's talk next week, after he teabags a one-legged mentally challenged ginger Asian nun in a wheelchair or something.

 

[Gr00vus]

His whole campaign has to be a ploy by the Clintons. Has to be.

In light of that, I'm voting Kodos.

 

[massraider]

As someone on twitter said, "the comments section come to life".   

This.

I no longer wonder what internet trolls look like.

His winning is making my head spin.

Ry, Putin/Trump/Wiki are down by 24.  It's garbage time at best.

I think we have our first 'shtick excuse' sighting.

What a ####### ####-head. 

 

[SameSongNDance]

This.

I no longer wonder what internet trolls look like.

There are two distinct groups IMO, at least as it pertains to the internet. On one side you have the older, nationalistic types that frequent twitter and on the other you have the insane individuals who frequent 4chan. A lot of the trolling is coming from the 4chan demo because 4chan is cancer. 

 

[sho nuff]

Pence would be terrific. 

No, he really wouldn't be.

 

[Don Quixote]

I'm sure the NFL could use advice from Trump on how to run a professional football league.

Except that he didn't stick to it.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

They would probably even pay him $1, no I'm sorry $3, for it.

 

[RBM]

No, he really wouldn't be.

Terrific. He's just what this country needs. 

 

[culdeus]

I wouldn't put it past Wikileaks to forge something lategame if they have to.  I mean who is going to have time to clear the metadata in the day before the election.

 

[The General]

Terrific. He's just what this country needs. 

Indiana seemed to be coming to a different conclusion.

 

[Daywalker]

The wikileaks dumps have helped Clinton.  Republicans think they have gold and waste their time on it.  

Any sensible person thinks is that all you got?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I've been concerned about this too. It would ruin Wikileaks, but they seem all in on helping Trump.

This for real?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

This for real?

Probably.  I didn't know there was such a thing as the alt-right until this election, but apparently yes, there is a segment of that group that thinks the 19th amendment was a mistake.

For full disclosure, I've learned that my own person dislike of democracy apparently makes me part of the "alt-right" very broadly speaking.  But yeah, this part is crazy.

 

[cstu]

Hard to buy the 'she's the devil' story when you get the private emails of her and her friends and there's next to nothing in them.

ETA: I consider her extremely vetted.  Good job, Donald!

 

[shadrap]

This for real?

of course it is.   Everything posted here is the absolute truth.
