The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Who, specifically, did Obama offend while his was running for president? What people did he need to he need to reach out to, because they were concerned about a specific issue. I think you're asking a question that can't be satisfied, because Obama didn't specifically point out a group of people while running that he was opposing.

Sure he did. The one that keeps getting repeated: the bitter clingers. Now, you're the one that you remembered it being "quite the opposite" to Expat's comment...meaning that the media called for BHO to reach out and comfort the people didn't trust and vote for him. Now, let's not Kut this up and try to redirect the argument. You insist people back up their assertions, and so what's fair for the goose and all that....

Keep in mind, not all votes have been counted. Trump could pass Romney and McCain

Kirk did not stand a chance against the Chicago machine. In the Chicago elections Trump was evil incarnate. Any association was used to destroy the candidate. They were even running ads connecting the governor to Trump and he wasn't even running for any thing. It was bad. It was just a clip of Rauner saying he would support the Republican nominee (begrudgingly at that). Then they went on saying how bad he was.

Trump is what happens when you spent the last 7 Thanksgiving dinners lecturing your angry uncle from your Vox index cards.

Again, how does this apply? If you're going to say Obama insulted people after being elected, sure, I can get on that wagon. That's factual. But that's not what's being discussed, and by adding it in, you're moving the goal posts. Do you want to talk about what Obama said months after being elected? I'm sure we'd probably be in agreement. What is being discussed, is the calls for reconciliation directly after an election, based on pre-election rhetoric, not by the president, but by the media. I said I couldn't remember it as vividly as Expat apparently has. If you can't confine it to Expat's original premise, we're going to have quite a large football field before it's over.

Fine. As I recall, the bitter clinger comment was made during the campaign. I could be off on that, I'll concede the point for now. So now, where are the examples of the media that called for BHO to reach out and comfort the people didn't trust and vote for him.

So... Is the IRS done with that audit?

 

[Expat]

So... Is the IRS done with that audit?

I would imagine they soon will be if they aren't already...

 

[BluePig]

I am guessing that file has suddenly caught on fire and is being expedited.
Not sure I would want to be caught holding that potato.

I ran into this problem when doing my own assessment of turnout. This cycle, more than the others, you need to include the 3rd party votes in the total. IMHO.

It closes the gap, but not completely.

Going back to the video of a trump supporter cowardly getting the **** beat out of him...

I'm thinking 4 years of protesting in the streets, and assaulting people... Trump might carry 48 states in 2020.

Vann Jones called what happened Tuesday night a "white lash". Wonder what racist term he'd concoct to name that event?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Stephen Colbert going to have a cry-fest.

Pissing off everyone again, that cost you an election because they were pissed off, is not a good plan going forward.

Good lord, this is BEYOND crazy

White House staffers awaiting Trump's arrival today. Check out the moron in the back left

So what is the most likely route that hardcore Trump backers are going to take?

1. If Trump makes poor decisions: have the stones to call him out on it. Oppose him when it's warranted. Be an individual, not a hive.

2. If Trump makes poor decisions: continue fervently shielding him from criticism. Blame others around him for his problems. Be a hive, not an individual.


(It is my greatest hope that we can all agree to be in 1.)

We'll have to see what the DNC and Putin tell him to do first.

Hey look at the timing on this one

Jamie Dimon, by the way, is a billionaire New York Democrat and former Goldman Sachs exec.

Donald Trump advisors consider JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon for treasury secretary: Sources

Fortunately, Dimon has stated he's not interested.


Edit: Also, Trump's muslim ban proposal has also disappeared from his website.
