FlyerTon Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think a lot of American's will think neither candidate is ideal presidential material but they will probably err on the side of Clinton fearing Trump could be too much of a loose cannon as President.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Typical biased left-wing MSM having a go at poor old Donald again. It's not his fault he says something monumentally stupid every time he speaks. If Hilary suggested her supporters shoot Trump, it probably wouldn't even make the news.

Zetterlund Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It sounded to me more like an ill-judged joke about the right to armed resistance against the government, not an assassination threat. Given the subject was specifically about the threat of removing those rights it seemed pretty obvious what he meant, although as usual with his unscripted speeches there's a high likelihood it would be twisted against him, not that he seems to care.

Suspect Device Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yet again he doesn't actually say something but the media reports what they interpret him to mean. He very rarely actually says something straight out. He's very sleekit but you get the impression that he's incredibly stupid. Is he really that stupid when he has gathered so much support by using these tactics? Still can't see him winning but to have come this far is an amazing feat or an amazing insight into the mentality of a large number of 'average' Americans.

Paco Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I can't see him winning but to have come this far is an amazing feat or an amazing insight into the mentality of a large number of 'average' Americans. I think it gives an amazing insight into the dissatisfaction with the system. Americans don't want Hillary Clinton. They really don't want Hillary Clinton, as she is the epitome of he broken system and establishment. They'd vote for almost anyone ahead of her. Just probably not Trump. The fact he got this far ahead of 'proper' politicians including making mincemeat of the establishment Republican shows the dissatisfaction that is there. A man who calls himself a socialist probably would've beaten Clinton were it not for the media/DNC/Superdelegates. Even ten years ago he'd have been as well calling himself a paedophile rather than a socialist. The USA has drastically changed but the country won't move with the people. America needs a complete overhaul but it's far too revolutionary or drastic for them, they'll shit the bed and continue to elect utter c***s like Clinton who will protect the 0.1%, bomb brown people and keep the poor as poor as possible. The irony of course being the people who will vote for Clinton in the highest numbers? The poor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Suspect Device is spot on. Trump is a fucking lunatic, a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe and every other bad quality rolled into one. Dissatisfaction is simply not an excuse here. He's an utterly disgusting individual and probably the most disgusting in the public eye. f**k him, f**k anyone ignorant to vote for him, and f**k those who try and underplay how nasty he is.

Granny Danger Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Trump apologists are fucking imbeciles. Anyone who wants to see how easily extreme violence can be incited just needs to look at the circumstances leading up to the assassination attempt on Gabby Giffords. Im sure Sarah Palin's team would argue that they didn't intend the consequences of their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he personally hates any particular group more than another, he just doesn't care about anyone other than himself, pretty well the definition of a psychopath. If he thought slagging off his mother would get him votes or money, he would do it without blinking an eye. He has hired women and people of different races for top positions before, I don't think he gives a f**k so long as they make him richer, and out the door in a second if they don't.

Cream Cheese Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Anyone think it's just a big set up? Roll out an idiot like Donald Trump to make Clinton seem not all that bad, when she's actually atrocious herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll out an idiot like Donald Trump to make Clinton seem not all that bad, when she's actually atrocious herself. There was a bit of talk that when Trump entered, he had a phone call from Bill Clinton who gave him a bit of advice and actively encouraged him to put his name forward. I don't think it was calculated to work out in this way (I think the nomination process wasn't foreseeable) but very much believe that the Clinton's were happy for Trump to enter. He basically come in and destroyed every actual threat they had. They expected Rubio or Bush to still win the process but thought they'd have been damaged goods by the end. Trump won by just being a nutjob and is now finding out that it doesn't work for a general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only crying Chump haters wil be doing is all the way to the bank come November when the free money for backing Clinton comes in. Last time the GOP picked a candidate of this ilk, it was Goldwater in the 60s - end result, third biggest Presidential candidate victory margin over a badly divided Democrats (thanks to the repulsive Wallace playing of the race card). Goldwater thought he could out-Wallace Wallace, & it all went wrong for the GOP big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article yesterday that Trump was self-sabotaging as he doesn't actually want the presidency, and that the only reason he'd entered as a candidate in the first place was to try and leverage more money out of NBC for the apprentice. Story went that once he'd made the infamous statement regarding rapey Mexicans and NBC dropped him, he realised how high profile being in the race would make him, and that he could use that to get the interest of other networks, never actually expecting to get the nomination. Once he did though, he realised he didn't actually want to do the job of being president, and has been trying to wreck his own campaignever since. Think Michael Moore came up with the original source material, so take it with the kilos, and kilos of salt that his association comes with, but it's not the most mental theory I've heard so far.

Ira Gaines Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'd say it's pretty obvious tbh. He's been getting consistently more idiotic. To the point that it seems deliberate. The sad thing is that people will still vote for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
