2016 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I watched a rerun of the Republican debates last night. I thought it was hilarious that when asked who wouldn't throw their support behind the nominee and run as a third party candidate, Donold F'in Trump was the only one to raise his hand.

This dude has the GOP by the balls right now. This is so hilarious to me. It just seems so out of control. If Donald F'in Trump goes down in flames he's bringing the Republican party with him.

Saw this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comme ... of/ctvrv6b

Honestly I don't see how the GOP image isn't destroyed beyond repair. I really cannot find a positive reason to support them at all.

That's what the Republicans fear! Trump is a crass, no bullshit individual who's not afraid to tell it like it is; and what's really scary is, a large number of the American people are tired of 'yes-men' politicians and believe that his "git-'er-done" attitude is what America needs!

What's even scarier, is that if by some small chance he is elected POTUS, his mouth may get us in deeper doo-doo.

are you really so naïve as to think that he is telling it like it is

his current bullshit is no different than last year's birther bullshit

or his new found buy American, as opposed to him having his retail products made in mexico and china

or his build a wall and send the bill to mexico idiocy, as compared with his companies hiring foreign and illegal workers

the Donald is just saying whatever bullshit he and his believe will get people fired up

ask him how his great negotiations went with Scotland and their windmills - poor dunald shit his Chinese pants on that one
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

When Donald F'in Trump made that comment about buying off politicians though, that was gold.

Are you really so naïve as to not be able to read into what I said? DT has already spoken out rather bluntly about several real issues which politicians have skirted and danced around. The Republicans don't like being reminded of their ineptness. DT has also made comments that he thinks is "telling it like it is", even to the point of making a complete ass of himself; my point is, right or wrong, he's not afraid to speak his mind.

Maybe they'll consider Britt McHenry; she's a real important person.

The Dump speaks out bluntly about everything; the troll has the grace and finesse of a hand grenade. Bluntness is not automatically synonymous with accuracy. Dump is an asshole bombast- a rude, crude, spoiled frat boy with neither class nor tact. He has the manners of an ill-behaved four year-old boy and loves to say outrageous shit because he has no concept of bad publicity. Again, do not mistake "outrageous" for "accurate." Simply proclaiming his idiot notions to be about "real issues which politicians have skirted and danced around" is disingenuous and implies that Dump really gives a fuck about something other than his own reflection. This asshole simply wants everyone to look at him and respond to him- negatively, angrily, he doesn't care any more than that ill-behaved four year-old cares, as long as he is the center of attention, even while being so goddam vain and simultaneously insecure that he still wears that laughable combover after all these decades.
He is a wealthy brat, to put it simply, and no sane American of reasonable intelligence really wants this shitheel to be the face of our country on the world stage. He doesn't want to be President, as we all know; it's too much like a real job and he doesn't want that. Even were this douche bucket elected, he wouldn't last as long as Sarah The Pooh lasted in Alaska. He'd eventually sling another fit, take his ball and his black helicopter and stomp off home. None of that is news, or particularly unexpected. Dump is as predictable as sunrise. He is just being himself, and that is no surprise.
The only truly disturbing thing about his phony candidacy is that so many legal residents of the US (I do not consider them Americans or citizens) remain so thoroughly deranged by the mean ol' n****r president that they are giving this juvenile asswipe credence as a Presidential candidate, when he lacks any hint of being Presidential material, even amongst the assorted wingnut detritus that makes up the 2016 TeaOP field.

Well put. I couldn't have said it better. I thought maybe what I posted could be read between the lines without going into a lot of detail as you did. :thumbup:

Good points all, until you say that these idiots were created by their fear of obama. These are the same morons who voted for palin, ross perot, reagan, Wallace - they and their ignorance have always been here. Remember the DC kkk parades in the 30s

On inauguration day, as Obama is walking away and Donald F'in Trump takes his place, Donny T is going to point his index finger at Obama, squint, and say, "YOU'RE FIRED!".

Or he could act like trailer trash Nancy did in 1980 and demand that he vacate 4 days early so she could have time to properly move in

Donny T. is going to install a stripper pole in the oval office. As there should be.
