The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[jamil]

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.

Why is it wrong to be critical of a political candidate? If Trump had lost your support over stupid unforced errors during the primary season, and had to become a better candidate to earn it back, he'd not be the dolt so many people see him as today.

So what, do you guys just shrug every stupid thing he does off, and just say, we'll he's the best we got so I'm not going to acknowledge this? Or, do you guys really not see any of his antics as a problem? If you really want him to win, do you realize #trumpernation isn't a large enough voting block to get it done?

 

[jamil]

they influence the polls with there biased reporting by not telling the whole story....

I can buy that to a point. We'll see how the other polls go.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Don't care! Don't care! Don't care!

Bring me a better candidate.
Why is this much effort devoted to "Dump Trump" rather than "Hell No Hillary"?

Because hell no hillary would result in crickets. What we have here are several folks who enjoy working several other folks into a lather.

Believe it or not, I think those of us watching the Trump Train smashing through things actually want to get aboard. We WANT a better candidate. We want the current candidate TO BE BETTER.

It would be easy enough for him to claw back to Romney/McCain nose-holding status. So simple. Just stop stepping on his own crank.

He. Just. Can't. Stop. That's what's scary.

What we have here are people being critical of the non-Clinton candidate. And people going out of their way to defend everything the non-Clinton candidate does.

Maybe we're all on the wrong page here. I don't speak for everyone else... but I loathe Clinton. I don't want her to be President. I want her to lose to whoever she runs against.

At the same time, I loathe her GOP opponent. He is a flawed, awful person. He does ridiculous, awful things. I cringe when I see people give him that Obama-like blind devotion, however... and try to shut down discussion that criticizes the man. He's the candidate, nothing can change that now... but people really have to stop with the blind defense and ad hom. It's OK to criticize the nominees. They need to be criticized. It's unhealthy to worship anyone.

Trump is a highly negative candidate, and his politics and "policies" (new and old) need to be looked at closely if he's running to be our President.

I'll give him that. He was born without a filter. What's on his mind goes straight out his mouth.

I'm still voting for him. Just kicking back and waiting til Nov.
Unless of course someone better comes along........which reminds me.........where is Palin anyway?

His formula worked to crush 17 other opponents, what makes you think he should adopt the tactics of failed candidates?

Maybe you should stop contributing to her campaign then.
You are like the biggest Clinton Promoter I've ever seen.
STOP!

So does that mean people have to stop with the blind storm? If you don't have anything nice to say...

Well that's one way to spin reality. I don't want to work anyone into a lather. At this point, I'd like to know what the limit is. So far, I see no evidence that Trumpers would hold Trump accountable for anything. Ever. I don't see many Trumpers saying, ya, so what. He said some thing stupid. I don't like it. But he's all we got. I might even agree. Instead I see Trumpers defending the stuff. I think if you guys had held him accountable from the beginning, maybe he'd be a better candidate now. But it's like Trump said. He could shoot someone on main street and you'd still be fiercely loyal. He knows he has you. I just don't get it. Being so fiercely loyal that you deny the faults of a politician is just a foreign concept to me.

I think he should adopt the tactics that he will use as president. If this is as good as it gets, it will suck.

No you aren't.

 

[BugI02]

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.

Oops. Too late

 

[Ericpwp]

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.
