Donald Trump Presidential Campaign Thread

Elizabeth Warren does seem to get under his skin.

And she is just getting started! Finally, someone is manning up to him Guess it takes a woman.

It’s weird, but you notice that Warren is attacking, Biden and Obama are getting started and, yet, on the Republican side, there are no surrogates attacking Clinton for Trump.

They are busy meeting with Mitt Romney to decide how to get out of the mess they are in.

But oh if only they had a few more unpledged or superdelegates.

Charlie Cook commented last night that with surrogates Hillary has, Trump is facing Nelson’s fleet at Trafalgar. I laughed out loud.

Obama, Warren and Biden? The fake Obama video was made way before it was released by Obama. Im surprised the WH didn’t edit James Rosen out of the Josh Earnest conversation.

And it’s gotten very personal, Rosen said.

“There’s no doubt that the Obama administration has maintained an animus towards Fox News and specifically towards me across the two terms,” he said.

He went on, speaking of the aftermath of Watergate: “I can tell you as an objective fact that the conduct of the Obama administration, from the president on down towards Fox News, has far exceeded anything that Richard Nixon ever did to the Washington Post.”

Rosen, just a month ago, reported that a fiery exchange he engaged in with the then-spokesperson for the State Department had been scrubbed from the video of the briefing that was posted on the agency’s YouTube page. During the exchange, Rosen was told the administration had not engaged in any behind-scenes talks with Iran about the nuclear treaty – a statement that later conflicted with emerged facts. The State Department called the edit of that particular portion of the press conference a “glitch,” then later admitted it had been purposely edited.

On that, Rosen told Business Insider: “It’s not often in the annals of a modern presidency where an administration is forced to admit publicly that it has sought to censor the record of its public briefings. To mess with that, to tamper with that archive, is a very serious offense.”

Hillary can’t delete her way to the WH nor does it work well for Obama, but like techniques.

Maybe, but Trump is going to be getting hit from all sides and he’ll have to do all the campaigning and messaging himself. That’s going to overwhelm him pretty quickly.

People that know him opine that he will pick up his marbles and go home.

People like who, or just more broad sweeping wild nonsensical statements with no real substance?

Donald Trump:

Trump loves talking about the contrast [between his campaign and Hillary Clinton’s]. In an interview with TIME on June 8 in his Manhattan office overlooking Central Park, he gleefully rattled off the sharp differences in staffing. On this topic, he had no doubt that smaller was better. “We had 73 people. She had 873,” he estimated. “It’s called lean and mean.” His numbers understated his staff and overstated hers, but the ever-fluctuating ratio stands at about 6-to-1.

For Trump, the idea of hiring an aide whom he might never meet is a recipe for waste. “Hillary’s campaign is crazy,” he continued. “I look at her staffing, and I mean she’s got the United States government there.” He even mocks her focus on putting out so many policy proposals, a longtime tradition for major party nominees. “She’s got people that sit in cubicles writing policy all day. Nothing’s ever going to happen. It’s just a waste of paper.” (The Clinton campaign counts that paper as a point of pride: 73,645 words of policy and counting.)

It’s an ironic pose for a businessman who built his brand on flaunting size, wealth and charisma. But it’s also a pitch that Trump plans to bring to voters in the fall. A candidate who can run a frugal and effective campaign, he says, can also run a frugal and effective government, though that same frame means he doesn’t need to give specifics. “My voters don’t care and the public doesn’t care,” Trump says. “They know you’re going to do a good job once you’re there.” His theory of the race echoes advice given to salesman for Trump University, the shuttered seminar program that is now the subject of class-action lawsuits. “You don’t sell products, benefits or solutions,” the school’s training manual read. “You sell feelings.”

“My voters don’t care and the public doesn’t care.” He may be right about his voters, but I’m not sure the general public is going to agree that they’re cool with just trusting that he’ll “do a good job once you’re there.” Policy schmolicy—we’ll just take your word for it!

No amount of detailed policy is going to change most minds about Donald Trump, unless it’s to give us a yet lower estimation of him, if that’s even possible.

Normally, neither are Republican Senators, for example, because the Republican nominee tends to have their support stitched up. Trump doesn’t. They’re the ones who need some policy details. That Trump doesn’t get this—or care—is incredible. And, somehow, entirely typical at the same time.

So the people on this forum who have said they are voting for Trump aren’t Christians? I’m not even a Trump supporter, and I find this incredibly insulting and uncharitable (and I think it’s against forum rules)

And since you’ve appointed yourself arbiter of who is a Christian and who is not, how do you grade those who vote for a candidate (and in fact, a party) that promotes abortion on demand?

Sorry about that. For various other reasons early on in my childhood I realized what went on in society just didn’t jive at all with what they taught in (Presbyterian) Sunday School. At first for a long time I thought it was just a matter of people being hypocrites … as I often am – we all fall short. Then it occurred to me that they were not hypocrites but following a different underlying religion (even if they went to a Christian church on Sundays). Let’s call it “Americanism,” which means climb the ladder crushing anyone in the way – self and wealth is all that counts and others be #&%$#-ed.

As for life issues Trump is exceedingly pro-death (whether or not he understands or realizes that). When he denies climate change and other environmental problems and wants to trash all env regs, he is basically for annihilating life on earth. No one with a good Christian conscience would be able to vote for him.

I do understand the abortion issue, but I don’t think simply passing laws and making abortion illegal would do much to reduce abortion. Didn’t do much pre 1972 – I knew plenty of cases of women getting illegal abortions, including some relatives…it was very easy. At that time it was more a matter of the stigma attached to being an unwed mother, as well as economic considerations.

It’s pretty clear to me that progressive policies would do much more to reduce abortion by reducing economic considerations in abortion deliberations. The carrot approach, rather than the stick approach.

And there are dozens of other reasons a good Christian would not vote for Trump.

Hillary is going to be supported by President Obama, VP Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bill Clinton, and probably Bernie Sanders (once he’s done licking his wounds), all of whom will travel the country to campaign for Hillary and other Democratic candidates – and against Donald Trump. You may not like Hillary or her message, but she’s mounting a formidable campaign.

Match that against Trump the candidate, the lack of external funding for his campaign, a bare-bones campaign apparatus that is hamstrung by Trump himself, a GOP that is having a difficult time supporting their own candidate, and few surrogates to get his message out, except, so far, for Chris Christie. It’s not looking good for Donald Trump.

I can’t imagine what a policy debate will look like between him and Hilary.

I don’t think either one of them will be discussing policy. Hillary will be praising a moribund economy and disasterous foreign policy, and saying she’ll make it even better. Now and then she’ll accuse Trump of something he either didn’t do or requires more explanation than the moderators will allow. Trump will be calling Hillary a crook, saying the economy stinks, that he’ll negotiate better trade deals.

The moderators will be throwing Hillary softballs and throwing Trump complex sentences with double, and quadruple negatives and why he thought he was justified under Florida law to refuse to pay a subcontractor of a subcontractor, given that the mechinics’lien statute allows for it, and does he think a legislative enactment that nearly didn’t pass committee and passed the Florida House and Senate only through a suspension of the normally prevailing rules there was appropriate to give no protection to subcontractors of subcontractors of subcontractors, and by the way, did he have workers’ compensation coverage for those sub, sub, subs, and if so, why not?

And by the way, why did he not pay 15 minutes overtime to Jaime Flores for the time it took him to put on his climbers before going up a power pole, and did that have anything to do with his own racism, which he has manifested on nine occasions, and what about those nine?

In short, the whole think will stink and will tell us nothing except whether Hillary has truly memorized her lines after 40 years of memorization, and whether Trump can put a proper sentence together when blindsided.

I watched the debates between Hillary and Bernie, and the focus was on issues and policy, not ad hominum attacks. The contrast between the Democratic and Republican debates was stark.

There is no such thing as discussing issues in a two minute time sequence so lets be clear no one here elaborated on any point to any degree of satisfaction, not Bernie not Hillary not no one. Thats utter nonsense. In fact the WH has been feeding us daily lies about policy like with Iran. Further your back on personality which Hillary is a utter mess in the polls with trust and favorable ratings. The contrast was the democrats debate was a Bernie failure and with Hillary softball questions, a love quest of socialism.

Further all we hear is ad hominum attacks along with riots and violence in every democratic city. Thats just a double standard of democrats in their failed pc tired rap. You would think Obama authorized it, he sure hasn’t chosen to stop anything. That aside from endorsing someone under FBI investigation due to “national security”. which obviously Hillary cared little about opposed to her own agenda.
