The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[JettaKnight]

Well, Trump's relationships with women have always been complicated.

First Coulter, now Palin.

But this is interesting to me, not really because she said it, but because what it means. This isn't the MSM saying Trump is backtracking, it is one of his supposed proxies.

And when a proxy goes off-message, you have to wonder how organized the campaign is. Perhaps she's been a rogue opportunist the whole time, rather than a true believer.

What about sandwich shops?

Sandwich shops? Please don't tell me that ACORN registered the Burger King to vote for Obama!

Let it be known that I will not be pulling Johnson in the voting booth.

This is good. You really shouldn't play with your johnson in public!

 

[indiucky]

You know me, I opt for the high-brow, complex jokes.

Calling someone an ignorant racist nazi isn't my style.

*cue a few people frantically using the INGO search to see if I've ever done such a thing*

I read most of your posts bro and I think you are pretty good to go......

Hey, whatever you do behind closed curtains is your business. But please be responsible. Others have to use the booth after you. So just clean up after yourself.

And the poll workers though I was OCD for bringing Clorox disinfecting wipes with me.

Oh. Please do bring the disinfecting wipes.

In Chicago the poll workers would point out the mirrors above to booth just so you knew somebody was watching and you could take that into account when you voted.

Trump won't lose votes from this. The zero-day Trump supporters will see this as a calculated move to attract the middle by "saying the right thing." Several INGOers have said this very thing during the other Trump flip-flops. They will not be swayed.

Coulter was right about Trump supporters forgiving anything. She should have ended the sentence there.

The question will be whether any of the "middle" will believe this after his earlier rhetoric.

Shirley you can encompass a bit of schadenfreude watching those who have consistently insisted we can't believe anything Trump says, that he is merely closing the deal, telling us what we want to hear; now tying themselves in knots explaining how we must believe that this time Trump is saying exactly what he means.

Methinks they should get them to a tailor, their agendas are showing

Like I said, I think Trump is America (at least in equal part to that portion that Hillary is America)...it's all about winning for some, maintaining the "hard fought victories already won" for others, and a relatively very few care about the Constitution.

They really don't focus on Trump's health much... visibly, he looks vastly more energetic than Clinton. It'd be a losing argument to make against him.

Rubio's "ability to win elections"...as evidenced by his ability (sic) to win his state in the primary? I get the impression those who love and despise Trump have been driven to near-equal levels of naivete.

Hillary had 251 Electoral Votes in the bag when she announced her candidacy. Only Kasich was capable of picking that turd up by the clean end and running with it.

Kasich is a tool. He aspires to be a bigger, shinier tool - but he's still a tool. I know it. I've lived it

Upon great reflection, a couple Amber Bocks, and an effort to avoid further internecine skirmishes, I propose a detente. Or Trumptente as the case may be.

Let us criticize and glorify the Republican nominee (and his running mate) in this thread, without attacking his supporters or (Republican/conservative) INGO detractors. I mean, saying "neverTrumpers suck" or "Trumpkins suck" let us discuss the pros and cons of the candidate himself. The supporters/detractors aren't the issue. The candidate is.

We all have different paths to arrive at our own side of the divide(s). We are not a monolithic horde of Borg.

We can take steps to resolve our differences, steps that will be necessary after the election regardless of who the president-elect is.

Trumptente. It should totally be thing.

Something something letters number letter something shorter leash. Perhaps a new thread

Trump campaign chief is registered to vote in Florida at unoccupied home

Stephen Bannon’s enrollment is apparent violation of crucial swing state’s election law requiring voters to be legal residents of county they register in

Hate to break it to you, but there are likely to be quite a few homes in places like Palm Beach that are (currently) unoccupied, but people are registered to vote at that address

 

[BugI02]

Why would anyone ever think such a thing?

Why would he think anyone would care enough to expend the effort

NBC, ha. If someone as famous as Trump sees the same doctor for 35 years, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to write a clean bill of health.

Trump and advisers remain split on how far to move toward the middle

Given his leftist pre-candidacy tendencies... then hard-right turn to pull in the votes... and suddenly drifting back to the center/left...

How can anyone, at all, say with confidence that he won't do the same with SCOTUS or 2A, etc?

I can

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I can

Then do you see why this is frustrating at times? You say you can... but you must realize that, given how fluid his positions have been during this campaign... nothing he says can be relied upon with any confidence. I know you want to believe... but no one can with any real confidence and still be true to themselves.

Why? What gives you the confidence that he means everything he says - even when the positions are contrary?

I will try to be a little more thorough.

The only concern I have at the National level is the Supreme Court.

That's it.

Would I like to see immigration reform? Sure.

But I am a single issue voter this year.

He gave a list, I believe it and whomever he sends up for confirmation I will take over ANYONE Hillary will send.

Congress can keep a President in check on most things, but if the Supreme Court swings the other way, Congress can pass laws to change their interpretation but Hillary can veto
