The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[T.Lex]

Probably don't like him because his first lady is hot..... they don't feel threatened by mike obama or hitlary.

Hey now, let's count out Mrs. Pence.

Rule 34 on candidates wives?

So, here's someone else opining on a way for Trump to drop out. I kinda had this in the back of my mind all along. Trump as kingmaker is more fitting with his personality that Trump as POTUS.

It also may've been the only reason Pence got on board, since he was going to run next time anyway.

And then this.

Wonder if it intentionally coincided with Baldy McDude saying he would enter the race.

Republican security experts rail against Trump in open letter - BBC News

An open letter signed by 50 Republican national security experts warned that party nominee Donald Trump "would be the most reckless president" in US history.
The group - which includes the former CIA director Michael Hayden - said Mr Trump "lacks the character, values and experience" to be president.
Many of the signatories had declined to sign a similar note in March.
...
"He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the US Constitution, US laws, and US institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary."
...
Missing from the letter were former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger, George P Shultz, James A Baker III, Colin Powel and Condoleezza Rice.

How many Trumpers wouldn't show up to vote? Why do you think the RNC didn't pull any shenanigans at the convention?

Think of it this way. If Trump somehow pulled it off, there would be a real reason for everyone to get behind reigning in the power of the President. That's an overall plus I'd score in Trump's favor. Of course that doesn't offset the reckless part anywhere near enough, but some.

The difference here is that it would be Trump making the decisions - he'd be pulling the strings of this marionettes.

That would feed is need to control things.

I'll give you that - if we lasted that long.

Oh please! While not wishing to belittle the unprecedented seriousness of this open letter, it's a bit specious to hear the folks who listened in on all of our phonecalls and emails and social media opining about the sanctity of the constitution.

I certainly haven't forgotten what Snowden uncovered. These people venerate the constitution only when it suits their purpose

Shouldn't the anti-Trump PACs be down in the Pro-Hillary section, and not have a section of their own?

If you look at the PACs in question, they are not pro-HRC.

Don't see anything pro Donald Trump on the Stop Hillary PAC page. Shouldn't that be down in a anti-Hillary section, or is it just more media propaganda?

Also off of that page, what is up with this Vote Vets PAC, don't they know Hillary voted for the Iraq war, not to mention her disasters in Libya, and Syria.

Great use of Rule #5 from Rules for Radicals.

When you aren't using a teleprompter, it is possible for your train of thought to get derailed.
