Finally, a Candidate I Can Get Behind

Heh, he don’t know me really well huh folks? :slight_smile:

That BTW is related to your lame point that we are only dealing with opinions, we are not. And opinions with no support are only uneducated opinions.

Nope, if you were right you would point at the evidence of Hillary being a criminal or Bernie being a lazy ass.

We were talking about votes, so I apologize for thinking that you would get the context that you were going about.

Speaking about standing for human rights Trump already demonstrated how unreliable he is by what he did with the 5 innocent minorities that were accused in the New York Jogger rape case.

You seem to be under the impression that I am going to somehow, thanks to your brilliant reasoning and logic, all of your political links, and all of your awesome debates skillz change my mind about voting for trump.

Sorry, won’t happen. Don’t need to prove Bernie’s a socialist lazy ass, no need to prove Hillary’s a lying ass criminal etc etc…doesn’t matter because nothing we say to each other is going to convince the other:

  1. That they are wrong and insane, and

  2. will not get the other to change their vote or see their way of thinking.

Give it up, it’s just mental masturbation. I’m voting for Trump, regardless of anything you say. You will be voting for whoever “The Party” puts forward…baaaa

Like I said, you don’t know me really well, :slight_smile: I do not post much to convince the ones that follow ignorance, I post to show others how ignorant Trump is and how wrong the ones following him are.

Ah, thank you! I see the light! I am WRONG because…um, let’s see, I am wrong because…hmmm. Why am I wrong? I am wrong to follow Trump? Ah, ok…but thankfully, all of us who do follow him have you to save us from our ignorance and see the error of our ways in backing such a candidate.

Is that it?

Wow, how did I ever get through 9 Presidential elections and over a half century of life without you?

Of course you’re right. Well, not about the First Amendment thing, that’s about the government. But we should strive for civility in our discussions, and not just ridi-

Mmm… well. Carry on then.

Morons tend to vote for morons. End of thread.

Rants belong in The BBQ Pit.

Have fun there.

In interviews I’ve seen with Trump supporters, a thread of anger and fear united them all. They were angry about foreigners and quaking in their boots about terrorism. They all responded to the simple bullshit that Trump was doling out, and had no idea what any of his real policies were-just that he was going to build a wall, and get the terrorists. It would be a waste to argue with these people, as anger and fear are blinding, and Trump’s policies are either paper-thin or they’ve only been articulated off the cuff at a rally.
Perfect example of the cult of personality putting forth a callow and unqualified candidate.

My problem with Trump is that he has no practical experience in public service. He says he loves his native New York City, well then why didnt he ever run for mayor or city council or state rep or something.

I mean the basic premise of his tv show “The Apprentice” was that a person would have to work their way up by completing several tasks before they would get the big job. Yet Trump himself is walking in and expecting the big job from the get go.

Trump Airlines — Failed
Trump Casinos — Failed
Trump Mortgage — Failed
Trump University — Failed
Trump Vodka — Failed
Trump Game — Failed
Trump China Condemnation — Failed *
Trump Bankruptcies — Four
Trump Marriages — Failed

The Donald has personally walked away with more money from most of these, but his investors, customers, and employees have all suffered.
The OP wants to add “Trump Nation — Failed” to the list?
*(He ranted about the poor quality of China’s manufacturing and moaned that the U.S. no longer manufactures anything: his clothing line is made in China with contributions from Mexico and Bangladesh with nothing made in the U.S.)

Donald Trump’s methodology:

  1. Promise big results
  2. When promised results fail to materialize, blame everyone else.
  3. Profit!

Ask the investors he bankrupted if he produced “great things”. Ask the students at his business school - the ones accusing him of fraud for taking their money and delivering virtually nothing - if he’s someone we should believe in. Look at his campaign - everytime he’s been caught in a lie or an error, he simply doubles down. Any bad press is the fault of the media, never him. The buck stops everywhere but with the Donald, because The Donald can do no wrong in his own eyes.

And what will he do as president? Who knows? He’s going to “build a wall ad get Mexico to pay for it”. Do you believe that will happen? Seriously? He’s going to entice American companies back home. Maybe he could start by no longer having the products with his name on them (such as his clothing line) manufactured in China. He’s going to “get tough on jihadis”. You know who’s been tough on jihadis? Obama, who has been quietly drone-striking the bejeezus out of them (and, unfortunately, a number of other people). Trump’s approach has been shown to make more jihadis. But at least he talks the talk, right? It doesn’t matter what the results are as long as you get to shout “WOOHOO! USA! USA!” at the end of it.

No, Trump will antagonize our allies, give strength to our enemies, alienate Congress, further polarize the country, accomplish very little of worth, get a lot of American soldiers killed and quite possibly destroy the economy. America will be far from great. But at the end of it he’ll be fine, and that’s all that really matters, right?

Trump is a snake-oil salesman, and the rubes are buying in bulk.

Ohhhhhh…kay then.

Really, all you have to do is keep him typing. The more that falls from his flailing fingertips, the less appealing Trump becomes.

I don’t know how anyone can vote for any candidate other than Vermin Supreme.

Still trying to get past an OP, filled with name calling, and an author who then immediately accuses all comers as resorting to ‘name calling’! If that’s such a bad thing…why’d you open with it? If it denotes immaturity or a bad argument, what shall we make of your post?

Sheesh! Just how stupid are this guys supporters? Just when you think you’ve hit the ceiling, they take it a little higher!

That was totally who I thought the thread would be about.

I was listening to the radio today to see if school was canceled, and I overheard the dumbest argument for Trump I think I’ve heard.

They said he’s saying all the things Reagan said. Reagan never gave any specifics about what he could do. And then he said “So why not give Trump a chance?”

And he was not being sarcastic in the slightest.

CAUTION, the word boobs appears in the following post. Male dopers please restrain yourself from boob jokes. This politics shit is serious.

I see a Trump landslide because Melania Trump is going to start opening all of his events topless. And you KNOW all the male dopers will show up for that. Bernie’s babies are going to grow up and learn to respect Trump’s ability to score hot wimmen. He’s for sure got their vote, that is, if they can stop playing with themselves long enough to vote.

Since Hillary is apparently a lesbian (cite, some pit thread here somewhere), you know she’ll drop out for a position in the Trump administration, somewhere between Donald and Melania. Rubio will even see the light and order a Russian bride for himself, maybe two since he’s got 2 faces. Cruz will finally learn to read a map and find out that Canada isn’t part of Minneconsin and maybe figure out that boobs on a female beats a boob in a suit every time.

It’s really that simple. Melania shows her boobs and he’s won, well that and maybe free Ice Cream on Sunday. That’s 2 D cups of American politics right there.

Ahem.

Well, it was going to be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, but you’ve certainly convinced me to vote against my own best interests. Trump all the way, baby!
