Trump can’t stop globalization any more than he’ll be able to do any of the other things he claims.
Bread and circuses, baby.
We don’t have to copy any one individual model. This is what pisses me off more than anything else about this. Every other western industrialized nation has had one form or another of UHC for decades. We could readily look around, see what works, what sort of works, and what doesn’t work at all, and cherry-pick the best aspects for our own system. It’s an advantage of our delay.
But, no, we’re fucking exceptional.
No, he should go for full psycho and draft Gov. Paul LePage from Maine.
It boggles the mind that “Terrorism” is in the Trump advantages column against Clinton, who has a decade of experience as Secretary of State and part of the Senate Committee on Armed Services where terrorism was the primary foreign policy and military concern.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong with how it will play with the masses, ITR, but what an absurd world.
And she’s divorced (possible affair) and remarried.
They could set a record for most ex-spouses in an administration.
I’m betting Bachman goes on his ticket. She’s from a state the GOP has been trying to pick up since the 2000s (even tho it hasn’t gone GOP since '72), she’s a conservative TP hero, a woman, etc.
She believes gay men should be allowed to get married.
yea but its part of Trump’s plan to win moderate rust belt states, hence why he’s not hard line on social issues.
Whoosh.
I laughed!
Merged the shorter thread:
Trump’s Republican Presidential Campaign
into this one.
ABC News tonight suggested Rick Scott or Joni Ernst as Trump running mates.
Nah…
Paul Ryan will be the VP.
Then one of two things will happen
- Trump will have a (minor) “heart attack” in the third month of his presidency and step down
- The Trump University lawsuit will find against him in the 2nd month of his presidency whereupon there will be a successful move to impeach and he will be booted by May.
You heard it here first.
Trump can beat Hillary.
I know I’ve been bashing Bernie Sanders lately, but in some ways, he actually would have some advantages over Trump. I think Trump would beat Sanders over the head with ‘socialist’ rhetoric, which nobody’s done yet, but Hillary is what she is. A lot of people who are leaning toward Hillary now are doing so because they have very negative views of Donald Trump and republicans. If he can rehab his image somewhat - and there’s time for that - then this could be a real race.
Paul Ryan won’t be the running mate. And neither of those two things will happen, namely because Trump will not win no matter who’s on the ticket with him.
And what do you think the Clinton campaign will be doing all that time? Forcibly and repeatedly reminding people of what an ignoramus he is.
Not gonna happen.
What Swing States does he win?
I could see him getting North Carolina (which I still have a hard time thinking of as a Swing State anyway). Earier in the Thread (before the duplicate Threads were merged), DJ Motorbike said he thought Trump could take Wisconsin and Septimus said he thought Trump could take Ohio- but Trump didn’t even win those States in the primary when it was just Republicans voting (although, in the case of Wisconsin, Cruz won and I can’t imagine Cruz supporters tolerating the idea of a President Hillary Clinton).
I’m not really clear on the influence of the growing Latino population in Nevada and whether or not they vote. I could see Trump easily winning White Nevada but I don’t know what kind of Latino presence will be felt at the polls. (EDIT: I thought Sanders won Nevada, but Clinton won. Nevermind.)
Some have dismissed his chances in Florida because of the Hispanic vote but Cubans often see themselves in a different category from North/Central American Latinos. Certainly the general anti-immigrant stance among Republicans at large hasn’t hurt the Republican party with Cuban Americans. Bad mouth Mexicans in from of a Cuban and you could possibly hear him chime in with support. So, I wonder if he might have a chance in Florida. How significant is the non-Cuban Hispanic population in Florida? And are they known to vote?
I’m not saying he will; I’m saying he can. Trump’s the guerilla warrior, hiding behind the bushes. Hillary doesn’t know where he’s coming from or what kinda fire he’s gonna bring. He comes from all angles. Hillary should win, but this race will be closer than people think. And that’s assuming that Bernie doesn’t weaken her chances at the convention.
O.K., what Swing States can he win?
I think attempting to analyse this election by Red State / Blue State is pretty doomed to failure. Trump is going to swing hard to the center while still saying enough outrageous things to keep his fanatical base happy. He’s even appealing directly to disillusioned Bernie voters who at least see him as sharing Bernies distaste for the current political system. Trump’s supporters are not the normal republican base so I wouldn’t really count most safe Democratic states as really safe this election.
