Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion

[Mike Hagger]

I can't take Trump anymore. I thought Trump might lessen his ridiculous comments as the race continued but he has not. Instead, he picks up steam. He relies seemingly only his inner circle of family members. His wealth has him completely disconnected from reality. And it shows. Every time he opens his mouth it's about how good, or great, or how much better he is, or how much more he knows, than anyone else.

I have no idea what his plan is once he takes office. Other than he will fix everything, and bring the jobs back!

I think at this point, Hillary could probably just pack it in, not spend another dime, and Trump will sabotage himself.

Is anyone here still voting for Trump? And why? Is it because Hillary is such a terrible choice that Trump is a "better" alternative?

There are plenty of threads on the election already.

Lots of people are still voting for Trump. If the alternative wasn't the most transparently dishonest, power-hungry person that's ever run, then he might not have the support that he does. You are only now starting to see Hillary supporters, because it's a protest vote against Trump, but I've seen lots of Trump supporters and lots of Bernie supporters, and not a single person who's been happy about Hillary.

The regressive left is hilarious. Yep, Hillary's totally got it sewn up!! That whole "Director of the FBI called her an incompotent hack" thing was the real clincher!!

Do you want to know why Trump is still around? Do you want to know how the hell he got this far in the first place? People like you, that's how. Blame yourselves.

Definitely lots of Trump supporters remain. Is it really just because Hillary is that big of a bitch?

It has to be just be regional? Right? I live in Colorado and I heard and saw the Feel the Bern support all over here. But nothing for Hillary. Where is her voting demographic coming from? I think it's a tough sale for either candidate.

How exactly am I to blame?

One thing we can all agree on is that he's been a real dumbass as of late and better smart'n the fuck up quickly if he wants to stay in the game.

That's an illogical statement since just because people react against something doesn't mean that they are free of responsibility of how they react against it. The responsibility for the support for Trump is in the hands of the people making up that group.

It's definitely not just democrat supporters that people are against either since if that was the case Trump wouldn't have managed to beat the other republicans to be their candidate.

But at least you managed to do the standard right wing poster thing and turn things into an attack on the person instead of just sticking to the argument.

 

[TheFirstEMP]

Because I'd rather not have Hillary in office.

 

[BVG]

Much like Trump, they'll start to care if it keeps building and draws attention.

To be honest though, I don't think many know of all the details and dirty secrets of Hillary Clinton. I think most see her as "Bill's wife".

Her presidency is only going to do one thing...

Make the Clinton's more wealthy.

That's basically it.

People who dismiss Trump supporters as just a back of inbred mouthbreathing rednecks. At this point, if you still believe that, you're sheltered and naive. Independents who see both of these Candidates as garbage are backing Trump at this point just to troll Hillary supporters like you who feel the need to constantly tell us how bad he is and how bad he is doing, even though everyone can see for themselves how well he is doing. Stop saying utter nonsense like "Hillary doesn't need to spend a dime at this point". That's stupid. Trump took two million more votes on super tuesday than Hillary running against 5 more people than Hillary was running against. You're in denial.

Right, pointing out the idiotic narrative of the left that "Hillary basically has this wrapped up" obviously makes me a right wing Trump supporter. This is exactly why Trump is still around, and you just don't get that.

I think this is the leverage Donald has at this point. He says some irrational things and I think he believes them. It has me worried. Do you think Trump could be potentially dangerous as president?

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

He's definitely shitting the bed lately. The media made the Khan thing into a big deal because they knew Trump would take the bait and make it worse. He's playing into their hands when he comments on it. He should have just brushed it off and the non-story would have been dead in 48 hours. But now his numbers are dropping and even like 80% of Fox News viewers think he's out of line.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

No.

 

[Horse Style]

One of the main reasons Trump supporters cite for supporting Trump is because Hillary is a lying, power-hungry flip-flopper. Now Trump supporters are generally stupid but they are incredibly dumb for not realizing that 99% of politicians lie, seek power (and money) and are wishy-washy with their stance on the issues if it means it will lead them to the desired power and wealth.

I also find it funny that a lot of Trump supporters say "well, he's anti-establishment" and make that the only reason they are voting for him. Who cares if he has no political experience, little knowledge of what is going on in regards to the issues and proposes outlandish solutions to the problems at hand. As long as he is anti-establishment, right?

Well even if he's elected, he'd have to work with Congress to get things done and the majority of Congress are definitely NOT anti-establishment so something's gonna give if he doesn't want to sit there twiddling his thumbs for 4 years.

There is more to say but the point is made. The people supporting someone who has no idea what's going on simply because he has no filter when he speaks and because his opponent is a typical politician are idiots.

Lot of judgments there. Is it really nonsense? Sure it's exaggeration Hillary still needs to campaign. The election is not over until it's over but for Christ sakes Trump constantly says unbelievable statements. He hurts himself. I like that he's not in the "system" and billionaires are not coming out of the woodwork to support him. But he has pushed me away. So I'm asking those who are sticking with him why.

Meanwhile Hilary has been outed as a criminal and no one cares. In reply to the OP, there's plenty of stuff both of them say that I don't agree with, but I agree with Trump on some key points such as immigration and terrorism.

 

[silicavaginitis]

Because the alternative is far,far worse.
