greg775 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Garbage candidate for garbage people That's kind of a mean comment. I don't take offense to it but I've seen the "stop it" comment from mods before to posts such as that one. A lot of Trump supporters aren't garbage people; they desperately want(ed) something different. Lot of people are sick of politics and think (thought) he was the guy to change things, an outsider. Unfortunately the outsider appears to have a lot of bad qualities and it's the wrong outsider. Just as a lot of people want a woman to finally be president only the problem is she is also the wrong woman. Two horrific presidential candidates in 2016.

That's not an edict that's saying "you will be banned if you don't stop", it's a "this is annoying and makes you look bad" stop. At this point, I'm fine judging anyone that wants to elect a bombastic, racist, selfish, thin-skinned asshole. Vote for Vermin Supreme or Gary Johnson if you're that desperate. No, people want to vote Trump because he's not politically correct meaning, it's cool for people to be racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Trump insulting the fire marshal and insinuating he was a Hillary plant at his rally yesterday for enforcing the fire codes, a guy who's a life long Republican and local hero, is the mark of a smart, capable man and not a giant narcissist idiot.

Heads22 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I still can't be convinced that Trump isn't running to help Hillary win, because he's not running the campaign of a person that wants the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) She also literally could not stop a man from donating to a PAC supporting her. That is why a constitutional amendment is required. Remember when Trump was self funding his campaign but it turns out he is too poor to? That's the whole point, but people can't see the forest for the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) STEPHANOPOULOS: Let's talk about Russia. You made a lot of headlines with Russia this week. What exactly is your relationship with Vladimir Putin? TRUMP: I have no relationship to -- with him. I have no relationship with him. STEPHANOPOULOS: But if you have no relationship with Putin, then why did you say in 2013, I do have a relationship. In 2014, I spoke... TRUMP: Because he has said nice things about me over the years. I remember years ago, he said something -- many years ago, he said something very nice about me. I said something good about him when Larry King was on. This was a long time ago. And I said he is a tough cookie or something to that effect. He said something nice about me. This has been going on. We did "60 Minutes" together. By the way, not together-together, meaning he was probably shot in Moscow... STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, he was in Moscow... TRUMP: -- and I was shot in New York. STEPHANOPOULOS: -- you were in New York. But that's the thing. TRUMP: No, just so you understand, he said very nice things about me, but I have no relationship with him. I don't -- I've never met him. STEPHANOPOULOS: Yet you said for three years, '13, '14 and '15, that you did have a relationship with him. TRUMP: No, look, what -- what do you call a relationship? I mean he treats me... STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm asking you. TRUMP: -- with great respect. I have no relationship with Putin. I don't think I've ever met him. I never met him. I don't think I've ever met him. [...] STEPHANOPOULOS: But a -- I just want to clear this up, because you did say on three different occasions you had a relationship with him. Now you say there is not. TRUMP: Well, I don't know what it means by having a relationship. I mean he was saying very good things about me, but I don't have a relationship with him. I didn't meet him. I haven't spent time with him. I didn't have dinner with him. I didn't go hiking with him. I don't know -- and I wouldn't know him from Adam except I see his picture and I would know what he looks like. So much of Trump's aura is being exposed as lies and bluster, he's just never been called on his bulls*** like this before. I think my favorite example was him inventing a Civil War battle that allegedly occurred on one of his golf courses.

Trump is immune to fact-checking. Even if he's busted red-handed on the spot making a huge ass lie about something that's a big deal, his supporters will just go "but Hillary" and waste time with false equivalences.

You don't mess with the military/dead soldiers. This goes back to what I was just saying - Trump's supporters really don't care. You can see in their communities on the internet they've already made up a "he's actually a Muslim terrorist infiltrator" smear and have made themselves believe it. I noticed this really was a thing when Trump dissed John McCain. Normally, we would've been writing the political obituary of anyone who said that within 24 hours, no matter who they were, but then you read what Trump supporters were saying, and they were agreeing with him, calling McCain a loser, etc. Trump later said "Bush didn't keep us safe" and "the Iraq War was a disaster" which is straight-up Republican apostasy (the Democratic equivalent is probably saying something like "racism is a myth, I wish black people would stop complaining). Republicans tried to go after him on this, it barely left a mark, his numbers just went higher. There is a ceiling for this type of stuff in the general election though and he's already reached it, and to the extent he actually has a strategy, it's to keep Hillary from scoring more points on him, which is why he's already trying to weasel his way out of the debates without looking like a coward.

McCain issued a strongly worded statement today. However, he didn't actually rescind his endorsement of Trump. Earlier in the year, he said he just wanted Trump to apologize for his remarks about McCain's capture and torture in Vietnam. Trump instead bragged about how he went up 7 points in the polls after those statements; McCain still endorsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
