Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

One only has to read the mealy-mouthed and wishy-washy comments from politicians like these to know why so few have respect for those currently practicing big time politics in this country. Could these people be trying any harder to play both sides of the fence? It is likely those "who aren't ready" to fully support Trump find him dangerous and many of his comments abhorrent. So just say so. And for those who claim to support him for transparent reasons like "we need to support the voters who nominated Trump" just admit that you support Trump and agree with most of his inflammatory rhetoric, because only someone who believes most of the rancid bull5h!t that he spews forth (or is dangerously naive and unqualified to serve) could seriously consider voting for him.

There are 332 people serving in the United States Senate, House of Representatives and Governors mansions who are members of the GOP. Does anyone know of an accurate count of those who have publicly said they will not vote for Trump? And of those few, how many are running for reelection in 2016?

Unless Drumpf gets trounced...which isnt likely though the polls show his numbers continue to dip.

Seriously. Thank you for clarifying that. :)

It's a wonderful thing how effective Trump and his surrogates are at erasing years of history. At least the talking head made an effort to correct the falsehood right away, unlike the recent exchange between Pierson and that idiot Wolf Blitzer some days ago. ...

The gaslighting that the Trump campaign is doing is quite startling. :eek:
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

I really am beginning to think that people supporting Trump are among the most naive and unintelligent voters that are out there, and it makes me sad. They don't even see that Trump is using them, playing the ones who are not racists or secretly fascists for rubes who lack any critical thinking skills at all.

Don't these people see how little Trump actually knows? Why do they think he is such a great businessman when he's had multiple bankruptcies and many people have made knowledgeable estimations that had he simply invested the money he inherited in a standard index fund he'd be wealthier than he is now? Why haven't they realized he fails to understand how trade agreements are actually crafted or amendments are actually repealed or what the constitution even says, let alone understands it? Hell, he doesn't even know how voter impersonation fraud actually takes place. According to Trump, he needs supporters to watch certain polling places to make sure nothing shady is going on:

go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don't come in and vote five times.

People don't go back to the same place five times, they go to five different places. Actually they don't even do that. One study showed that from 2000-2012 there were a total of 10 alleged cases of voter fraud. 10. Out of 600 million votes cast. That's alleged, not proven. More people are struck by lightning multiple times than commit voter fraud. If voter fraud was under reported 1000s of times more than sexual assaults there still would not be enough voter fraud to turn an election. Again, Trump is playing his supporters for the rubes I suspect a lot of them are. It's impolite, inflammatory and politically incorrect to say it, but if you think Trump will make America Great Again and plan to vote for him you are either a racist or you're an idiot.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

Apparently Drumpf thinks that if the media covered him fairly he would be up by 20%! I am starting to think he is dyslexic ;)

Probably includes that grandma who was charged for voting twice and it was clearly a mistake.

Trump is telling the people exactly what they want to hear. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't think even HE believes half the sh* he says. He's saying things that get votes. It's sad, either way you look at it, but that's what I'm seeing....

A buddy and I once did all of the first four seasons and the four movies back-to-back straight between a Friday night and sometime Sunday. Did that two years in a row.

Quotes for today

John F. Kennedy said, ‘Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.’

“I wonder at times if conformity isn’t a natural tendency on the part of people. David Icke said, ‘The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.’

“It’s easy to confuse conformity with equality. Barry Goldwater said, ‘Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.’

Thomas J. Watson - “If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.”

Interesting look at the drift of the Republican party since 1964
Click to expand...

This paragraph in that article is pretty telling, you can see it in all kinds of things that are said and done

So they deny the party’s racist history, that its post-1964 success was a direct result of attracting whites disillusioned by the Democrats’ embrace of civil rights. And they deny that to this day, Republican voters are driven more by white resentment than by a principled commitment to the free market and individual liberty.

From the massive hate on "political correctness"- which is more 1) stop taking down to others and 2) be nice- to current voting rules- as they think that there's this massive fraud going on that isn't happening.

In between there's all this drive for anger. Lots of quotes in there for that- build the wall, Mexicans are all violent criminals, ban Muslims, etc.

All of this also includes the "attacks on Christianity" too.

Other than anger against some other people, they have nothing.

More Time Travel Theories From The Drumpf Campaign

Jesus...watch the clip. If this is your "Spokeswoman" then whoever is doing your hiring needs to be fired. She knows she is misrepresenting (you can tell that is why she slows down because she has to think of a way to cover her BS) then when she is given a chance to backtrack after the break she changes the dates of things and then says "is that not a fact" almost daring the host to prove her wrong and he did easily. These guys are too stupid to tie their shoes let alone run the country...
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

So for all the people saying Drumpf didnt mean the "Obama Founded ISIS" thing and that he misspoke, John Oliver played a clip of him on conservative radio where the host tried to defend him talking about power vacuums and how he didnt mean it cause obviously Obama didnt and has been fighting them and Drumpf said...and I quote "I don't care. He founded it!".

He didnt misspeak, he said what he meant to say and isnt backing down.

What makes me mad about the whole thing is the forgotten history. Bush negotiated the Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq before we left. Iraq wanted us out. They would NOT give our troops immunity for certain things if they stayed. Probably a bunch of other issues as well. But, the bottom line is we were told to get out they didn't want us there anymore.

Now the story is that Obama pulled us out and formed ISIS.

Give me a flipping break.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

Putting aside your feeling for Hillary, you have to admire her campaign team. Every news story is now filtered through a prism they helped create, which is Donald Trump is a dangerous lunatic. They didn't need a nickname for him, nor did they try to "win the news cycle" whatever the fuk that's supposed to do for you. :rolleyes: Trump's campaign manager collecting Putin dollars would normally be just a brief story about shady clients, but now it fits with a bigger picture of a campaign that would sell itself out to our enemies as long as those enemies lavish praise and money on Trump himself. Everything's a business deal after all, right?

This is similar to the 1988 campaign. Atwater and co successfully labeled Dukakis as a wimpy girly man not man enough to stand up for the country or anything else . Towards the end of the campaign even the so called liberal mainstream media was openly taking pot shots at him (has a Prez candidate ever been asked in a debate before or since how they would react if their wife was raped?). Everything he did or said was seen through that prism. Same negative feedback loop is enveloping Trump. Don't see how he gets out of it no matter how many ginned up e-mail "scandals" come around from his Russian hacker friends between now and election day.
