The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[T.Lex]

I didn't care for the movie Deadpool. I'm clearly a minority. That means it's impossible for me to be a racist.

Ok. Now its on like Donkey Kong.

Deadpool was hysterical.

Not that some Trumpers aren't cult-like, I didn't take it to mean that. If Trump was against the Iraq war and would never had engaged in it, it stands to reason that if he were president at the time, Khan's son would be alive because he'd never have been in Iraq.

I'm starting to think that a lot of Trump's problems stem from the use of colloquial language by him and his staff. Politicians learn how to talk to the masses. Trump hires amateurs.

Eh, he walks stuff back all the time. Just now, for example:

When I said in an interview that Putin is "not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down," I am saying if I am President. Already in Crimea!

So, if Trump is President, Putin will leave Crimea alone... or something.

We're just seeing a lot of the "We have to vote for it to see what's in it" attitude from the Trump camp right now. Those sorts of lines work well with cultists... not natural skeptics.

No. They've already filled in that blank. They just KNOW it.

Unlike some in this thread, the commander of NATO agrees with Donald Trump:
NATO commander agrees members should pay up | Washington Examiner

Scaparrotti, NATO's supreme commander, says as of now only five of the 28 NATO nations are meeting their pledge to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense.
...
Without mentioning his name, Scaparrotti agreed with Trump's point that without all countries in the alliance paying their fair share, it can't be militarily effective.

If NATO can't be militarily effective, then why exactly should the US pay for it?

It wasnt my favorite Dirty Harry movie either.

And with GW we thought we were getting a coke snorting do nothing hippie, but we wound up in multiple wars and with the greatest terror attack ever on US soil.

All bets are off when voting for president, none of us can know the future.

So bad they had to add a new axis to the graph.

But here's the one that matters. Not that it's doing Clinton many favors, either. 2016 is the year for awful nominees:

Corey Lewandowski, on CNN: "If Donald Trump were the president, Capt. Khan would've still been alive right now..."

Good god these people are insane. Only the chosen one can fix all of our problems... Just a really creepy cult.

Lewandowski was fired months ago, he is now nothing more than a saboteur of the Trump campaign, I'd take anything he said with a grain of salt.

So the Washingtoncompost, and Gallup are gospel?

Last I heard Trump's convention speech was very well received.

Every source is **** when it comes to Pro/Anti-Trump news. It doesn't matter what it is. The only responses are "lol (source)" instead of "Hmm, I wonder why?" or "Let's talk about this..."

If we're playing that game... suddenly Breitbart is the go-to source for unbiased truth? The site died with Andrew, unfortunately.

"lol (source)" is just a lazy way to shut down opposing arguments.

I took Lewandoski's comments as you did. I think only the Never Trump cult would take it otherwise. I admit to being a bit mystified by the passion of both groups.

Breitbart, even after Andrew's death, didn't get THIS bad until maybe a couple of years ago. Now, I take them about as seriously as Huffpo or Solon.

So they're lying about the polls?

 

[Dead Duck]

This is a bit excessive, even for INGO.
All you #NeverTrumpers are not going to sway anyone's opinions with all this trash. Yes TRASH!

Show my a better candidate to beat Hillary and we'll talk about it. Until then, Jeez, take a break.
