The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[Tombs]

More.

Pence just said that Russia will face "serious consequences" if they're behind the DNC hack


The Clinton campaign has responded, stating that Trump is actively advocating for "espionage" against a political opponent.

Asking our INGO Trump haters and supporters to weigh in... what do you think of this? Just another "Trumpism" that he can't be blamed for? Or a serious mistake on his part to advocate something like that? I dont think I've ever heard a presidential candidate hope a foreign entity successfully hacks the US government.


A side bit from today's briefing, Trump camp says they would consider recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. Come on.

Excusable when you're talking about a person in high places the government seeks to protect at all costs. A dangerous felon who has given our top secret intel to Russia potentially becoming president is far more scary than that foreign power releasing the information they gathered from said felon.

Al Bundy for President!

Al's the man for the job!

In a likely effort to bring over some disappointed Bernie supporters... The noted liberal Donald Trump suggests raising the minimum wage to $10.

Now he's challenging Johnson for the Bernie voters.

Everything I've heard from him says that he wants states to set their minimum wages because the cost of living is dramatically different in different parts of the country.

Play with the language just right and you can pull over some liberals. I don't see why they'd have so little faith in their states to set a minimum wage that would work for them.

Trump supporters do understand that a US/Russia friendship is impossible, right? You do know what Russia is... it's history... etc?

Wrong!

Anti-globalist, capitalist Russia would make fine ally; we will need new allies, since our old ones in Europe become more socialistic, and Islamified each and every day.

Damn, Nevertrumpers, and Cruz fanboys are going to have a good cry in November.

Also a possibility that his returns will show ties to the Russian oligarchs and government. No wonder Putin likes him. He's already in their pocket.

Yeah, there's a 'possibility' that Trump is a Scientologist, too; and claims Xenu as a dependent. It's just not bloody likely

Amen. I'll take Russia over the whole of Europe for an ally any day of the week.

They've been wrong every step of the way so far, so I don't see November being any different.

I don't put much stock in polls, just trying to get under the skin of Nevertrumpers, but if my friends and family are any indication the gap is much larger than 7% in favor of Trump.

Touching back on the link I posted to his statement saying he would 'maybe, maybe not' honor our NATO alliance and defend our allies against invasion(Russia), this goes to further show he is one of the following 3:

1) Completely and totally not prepared to be Commander in Chief.
2) Already in Russia's pocket.
3) Handing the election to Clinton.

Interested to see how this gets spun away.

Global Firepower ranks France, the UK and Germany as the 5th, 6th, and 9th most powerful militaries in the world, respectively ( Top 3 are US, Russia, China). If they want to wrest Crimea away from Russia, why don't they go do it? Why are they always wanting to hold our coat while we go do their fighting for them?

Trump's right. "On your feet or on your knees" NATO

You have to understand, though; in #NeverMattered world polls are completely accurate when they show Trump losing and then become less accurate and less relevant when they begin to show Trump winning

I also noticed that.

With allies like Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, who needs enemies.

I'm done, folks.

Apathy has set. Trump? Fine. Clinton? Fine. From my seat they both look exactly the same.

Last night I thumbed through reddit's AMA (Ask Me Anything) thread featuring Trump. Hilarious. His supporters lobbed one softball "question" after another at him and dropped to their knees and fellated him after every non-answer.

"I'm gonna do this" and "only I can do that" with absolutely no substance...how, Donald? How are you going to do these things? As good as a one-man wrecking ball sounds to the jaded public, a man needs to build a coalition to tie his own shoes in DC...

So, I'm left with the impression that it is all bluster. He says what the disenfranchised want to hear in hopes of gaining access to the levers of power so he can serve his own agenda...basically another Obama.

I haven't wanted to believe that it was possible, but here we are, down to him and the Criminal-in-waiting...and damn, what kind of person would want her?

So...I survived Obama. I was prepared to ride out Clinton. Whatever, I guess I can hold my nose for a few years of this clown.

I won't support him...either of them...but if this is what America wants, huh.

God bless America.

This election comes down to one thing, Nationalism, versus Globalism.

Me, I'm all in for Nationalism, and sovereignty. Donald Trump is far from perfect, but he is the only candidate that will pull us away from the global power structure.

Guys, what if Hillary was a plant to get Trump elected?

#mindblown

My hope is that INGO would consist of principled people who vote according to their conscience, that they seek to influence people by their ideas and reasoning, and that they respect the right of others to be wrong.

Adams and Jefferson in DC. Rush, when the correspondence re-started.

Doubt it was the plan, but it will be the reality.
