Trump The Skeptics Nemesis

[Jenny A]

Well, yes , yes he will.  He isn't isolationist,  he's pro U. S. domination.   You think a man who would confiscate Mexican investment in the U.S. or impose a 45% tarriff on China won't interfer with Britain,  think again.

Haha.

He's gonna cause WW3.

People in the UK are already sick of your country.

I don't blame you, but, trust me you'll like our Trump face worse.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Trump will win in a landslide and he will do an excellent job.  The world economy will take a major hit this year but it won't have anything to do with Trump.  It's already collapsing.

52% of republican voters and over 70% negative perception with the U.S. as a whole makes Trump less popular than Romney. A land slide in his favor seems unlikely.  But for the fact that Hillary is Hillary, I would project a democratic landslide.  

Let's hear it for those rapist drug dealing hispanics whom are working damned hard for minimum wage taking down 100 foot trees in my neighbor's yard.   Oh yeah, they're really hard working law abiding men.

And let's hear it for the black men shot by police for being brown drivers.

But mostly, let's hear it for the facts.

We'll see how he does in the next elections now that he's solo.  Don't forget that Trump already has more votes than any previous Repub candidate at this time.  People like him, even if you don't.  He's certainly more likable than the other 17 or so candidates who have fallen by the wayside.

Nothing against Americans as people. I just hate your government.

You got it, Jen.  My Mexican landscapers were here today.  I had mentioned a week or so ago that I'd like a tree which was overhanging my house cut back.  As it turned out this is the first 100-degree day of the year.  Didn't even slow them down.  All they asked for was a pitcher of ice water.

You know, I never had a gringo landscaping team come around looking for work.

Well, look at you, learning from the master, just making shit up because it's nice to believe it.

Drumpf has more votes than any other GOP candidate, and he has inspired a higher voter turnout than ever, sure. But don't mistake that for high voter turnout specifically for Trump. He is so divisive that his presence in the campaign has inspired high GOP turnout. That and the fact that there were 17 fucking idiots to choose from mean more people came out to vote, but not necessarily for Trump. And to say the man with the lowest likeability rating ever in a presidential campaign is the most likeable just because he appeals to your inner racist is the icing that makes the cake.

He has split the GOP--he has the racist, misogynistic, xenophobes like yourself who get attracted by shiny, offensive sounding objects that speak your inner white rage out like no one else--and then he has the rest of the GOP asking what to do now. Just like the BernieBros might be morons and stay home, the evangelical right is trying to start a write in campaign. There are masses of fiscal conservatives distancing themselves from the party.

In short, because I know you only comprehend ideas if they are packaged in short sentences: Trump supporters are loud, but not as numerous as you think.

The thing is the man will say three different factually contradictory things a day, lie openly about his past, lie openly about his opponents, and his core voters don't care. It's celebrity voting. But make no mistake Trump is for Trump and no one else.

[abaris]

It's celebrity voting.

No, it's not. It's people mistaking a loudmouth for having guts. It's people seeing their dearly held prejudices defended and endorsed by a presidential candidate. It's people, not having a life to speak of, finally finding a community to share their hatred with. Not mutually exclusive groups.

[KevinM1]

I have this nightmare vision of Drumpf trying to bolster the economy through military endeavors.

[IATIA]

I can see all kinds of reasons for #never Trump.  He is a racist, narcissistic,  bully, with no qualifications for the office of president.  He confuses the office of president with that of king.  He thinks toture, killing the families of terrorists,  and deployment of nucleus weapons are good ideas.  He objects to wind generated power because it's aesthetically unpleasing.  He is womanizer  who promotes the carreers of beautiful  women and thinks the less than beautiful should not hold power.  I could  go on. . .   But what I find I objectionable, is that he doesn't even care what the facts are or what the truth is.

The only difference I see from that and the last dozen presidents or so, is that he is up front about it while the others played 'good christians' and thought it and did it any way. Trumps major fault (or maybe not) is that he is saying what all the others were thinking and doing. (If he is like all the others then he is lying through his teeth and really is a good guy?)

It's easy to be brave with someone else's life.
