Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXI: Do you love farce? My fault, I fear.

By "they" I assume you are referring to the 5.7% of the eligible voting population of the U.S., and about 4% of the population as a whole, that actually voted for him in the primaries?

I'll admit this as relevant when Trump polls < 6% on Election Day.

Sorry that dog doesnt hunt. How many are going to vote for him in an month?

Trump has both barrels unloading on Paul Ryan. Man, I hope this continues all the way to election day.

How many red flags do you need?

Michael Mukasey, an ex-U.S. attorney general who served under President George W. Bush, told NPR Monday that he initially deemed the GOP nominee's line at Sunday's debate that Clinton would 'be in jail" under a President Trump to be a quip, but had become concerned about Trump's promise to have his attorney general appoint a special prosecutor to re-open the case on Clinton's private email server.

"But then you have to determine whether the bringing of charges is proper," Mukasey said, as he outlined what such a process would look like. "And then you start to get into questions of policy and whether doing that would make us look like a banana republic, which I think it would."

Mukasey has been critical Clinton and her use of the private email server as secretary of state. But he told NPR that it would be inappropriate for a Trump administration to re-open the case after the FBI already decided not to prosecute her.

"That's the - that to me is the - is a watershed event - that is that it's the president of a different party. That makes it an entirely different kind of exercise in my view," Mukasey said.

Yeah, but everything he says there is opposite of what they do. There still to this day is a Benghazi committee. It never ends. So, saying "But he told NPR that it would be inappropriate for a Trump administration to re-open the case after the FBI already decided not to prosecute her." is BS.

They never stop until they get the answer they want.

Too late. The (R) own it. If it's the fault that 6% chose him, they can still vote for someone else. The Michigan ballot has 6 different names for President still.

Has anyone asked and had it satisfactory answered, why tD is the GOP nominee?
Because the mainstream GOP was initially on board with the "our government is too large, we need to reduce it" message of the Tea Party. But, maybe they didn't notice it at first, or maybe they just underestimated it's power, but they got trapped with the Tea Party movement as it morphed into a xenophobic, white nationalist **** show that has slowly overtaken the GOP. There's a reason that Trump is merely the figurehead of a movement, and getting rid of him just brings up another head of Hydra (Cruz might be done, but look at how many of the GOP candidates embraced the general authoritarian/nationalist/xenophobic message in the primaries).

Yeah, I might give some of them credit for saying "okay... THIS is too far". It's nice to know that there actually was a Rubicon of sorts in their mind that shouldn't have been crossed. It's just astounding to think that they didn't realize how long ago they crossed that line.

The other communities, with their crazy other hair and their funky other handshakes. They're giving the entire electoral process an other eye.

One fine night, they leave the pool hall,
Headin' for the dance at the Arm'ry!
Libertine men and Scarlet women!
And Rag-time, shameless music
That'll grab your son and your daughter
With the arms of a jungle animal instinct!

Donald Drumpf said at least two untrue things in Pennsylvania on Monday. The first was that he would bring back steel manufacturing. The second was that the election was at risk of being stolen by people in “other communities” — specifically, Philadelphia. Drumpf was making the same claim, really, through two lenses: Everything and everyone is working against him and his supporters.

His comments about alleged wide-scale voter fraud on Monday — comments which, we cannot emphasize frequently enough, are not supported by any evidence — were direct in their implications. In the past, he's said that “certain sections” of the state might commit fraud to swing the results, an obvious reference to long-simmering (and long-debunked) rumors about voter fraud in Philadelphia. On Monday, he simply said it.

Drumpf said:
Honestly, folks, you know I went to school in Philadelphia and I love Philadelphia. I love Philadelphia and I hope we're going to do great in Philadelphia. I went to school there. I love the school. I loved everything but I just hear such reports about Philadelphia. And we have to make sure we're protected. We have to make sure the people of Philadelphia are protected that the vote counts are 100 percent. Everybody wants that, but I hear these horror shows. I hear these horror shows and we have to make sure that this election is not stolen from us and is not taken away from us. And everybody knows what I'm talking about.

He loves Philly...unless they dont vote for him then they might as well be Jhina ;)
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXI: Do you love farce? My fault, I fear.

By '32 Hitler had already written hundreds of pages about his plan to exterminate certain groups of people, and once he got in power he followed through on his plans. Ignoring the fact that Trump is likely incapable of writing his thoughts out in anything longer than 140 character screeds, his rants differ little from those of thousands, if not tens of thousands of others in this country and around the world, spouting racist or anti-immigration rhetoric. If you can point me to his writings that call for the extermination of certain races or classes of people, or putting the sick or infirm out of their misery as a favor to them, I'll admit I was wrong.

Written papers from tD, sure- none of that is out there like Hitler. But you do have to agree that a number of tD supporters do also agree with Hitler- that part of the world has never gone away. They keep poping up all over the world to kill a lot of people that they don't like. While there hasn't that here in the US, the "haters" exist. These are people who really want to voice their hatred, but have been prevented to and blame it on "political correctness"- when the reality is that everyone is equal, and should be treated equally (extending the Constitution to everyday life). His supporters cheer every time he says something mean- from the bad people from Mexico to the excuses of the current video being locker room talk.

And the scary part is that tD is so vindictive that he can use his supporters to go after people who he disagrees with.

To start- the mention that all Mexicans are criminals and rapists- there's the first step where violence can go against a group of people. Then, there's the ever evolving view on Muslims- but the stone has been cast. It's not a stretch to think that he could tell them to "register" and then what?

In other words, it's not tD directly- it's the combination of some of his supporters and his tiny ego put together that is incredibly dangerous similar to Hitler.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXI: Do you love farce? My fault, I fear.


Ben Carson on CNN was even better. He went a step farther by blaming the female CNN anchor, saying maybe she just hasn't hung out in enough locker rooms if she's never heard that type of language.

By "they" I assume you are referring to the 5.7% of the eligible voting population of the U.S., and about 4% of the population as a whole, that actually voted for him in the primaries?

The other 94.3% fall into the category of voted for someone who got less votes, or didn't bother to vote; neither of which has much leg to stand on in terms of complaint.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXI: Do you love farce? My fault, I fear.

Ben Carson is proof you can be well educated and highly regarded in your field...and yet be one of the dumbest people alive.

I'll admit this as relevant when Trump polls < 6% on Election Day.
Look, I'm not trying to rain on the circle jerk you guys have going these past few days, but it's completely relevant and is something the GOP leadership has to take a long, hard look at it when it's done.

You can say what you want, but it is cold, hard math that 14 million people voted to put Trump where he is today -- at the top of the GOP ticket. That is a tiny fraction of the U.S. voting public.

The GOP is not blameless in letting this occur. If you let people hijack your party, you have no one to blame but yourself. But you guys are less than honest if you won't admit there were sizable chunks of the GOP aghast at Trump and his positions during the primaries.

Trump will get more than 6% during the main election. Why is beyond me. But certain people will vote for Trump simply because he is the Republican nominated candidate. Some will vote for him because they hate HRC. Some will vote for him because they think like the 6% who voted for him during the primaries, but were just too lazy to vote in the primaries. But to suggest that anyone who has ever voted Republican or is politically conservative by nature is responsible for this clown is simply disingenuous.
