Trump Thread

[Thorolfr]

From today’s Guardian:

the many mainstream Republicans who are appalled at Trump’s antics are now realising they could have little alternative but to vote for Hillary Clinton or not vote at all.

Half of Republican voters tell pollsters they do not know yet whether they could bring themselves to back Trump if he wins their party nomination.

Leading moderates in the Senate, such as Maine’s Susan Collins who fear a crushing defeat in congressional elections if Trump is at the top of their party ticket, also refuse to say.

Laura Bush, the wife of the last Republican president, George W Bush, this week simply replied: “Don’t ask.”

The above article also has the following:

Clinton has her own likability problem – polling suggests her 41.6% of voters view her favourably, while 53.65% view her unfavourably.

That is simply eclipsed by the unpopularity of Trump. Pollsters currently peg Trump’s overall unfavourability rating at a historic 62.4% – nearly double the share who view him favourably.

This statement from Fox News mentions his “sick obsession”:

It sounds kind of similar to this story in Vanity Fair by Graydon Carter about how Trump is still obsessed after 25 years by the fact that Carter called him a “short-fingered vulgarian”:

You’d think Trump would have gotten over the dig at him by Carter after twenty five years. I think Carter is right about Trump’s “skin of gossamer” and his behavior does sound abnormally obsessive.

I’ve already indicated that the prime-time FOX NEWS personalities are not endorsing anyone because they want to have all the candidates (well, those who have the courage to appear) on.

But they are also a brand and will defend themselves. Kelly, Hannity, and O’Reilly will not sit there and let people shout talking points or mock them on twitter.

Typical Chicago politics that makes that city the most likely to follow in Detroits footsteps.

Or Flints. Elect Hillary Clinton and that could be just foreshadowing.

People may be surprised at what it takes to have water as clean as we do.

Chicago has long had this reputation, the Boss, I think is what Mayor Daly was called.

And don’t forget, Illinois’ former governor actually ended up in prison where he still is I think.

Actually, a few IL governors saw prison time.

“No leader should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith.” Donald Trump February 18 2016

It’s funny and ironic how people here on CAF got upset when the Pope had stated that Trump was not a Christian. People yelled bloody murder, stating how the Pope should not get involved in our country’s business. Others even defended trump.

But Trump has questioned Carson and his faith, Romney too. It’s just ironic how these individuals don’t say enough Trump you might sound like your bringing change, but your not going to do any change.

Well that’s relief!

I’d hate to think what he’d say about nationalreview.com/article/432437/donald-trump-catholic-opposition-statement .

And well they shouldn’t. Whatever the media may say, DJT doesn’t have the nomination yet.

People on CAF? Surely you jest!

I get a kick out of the two main arguments against Trump. 1. Don’t vote for Trump he’s extreme right wing. 2.Don’t vote for Trump he’s NOT really extreme right wing.

You should of read people’s post to the thread pope states Trump is not a Christian.

                          The violence continues to come from anti-Trump protesters.

From your link:

In the video, the protesters can be heard shouting “Trump Stinks!”

In another clip, protesters appear to tear down a security tent and can be heard yelling “Shut it down!”

FOX 13 also received a report of rocks being thrown at people exiting the Infinity Event Center, where Trump made his first appearance in Salt Lake City this campaign season.

Thank God for our police force who have to deal with this.

That’s what happens when you stroke the fascist wolf.
How do we know Trump didn’t pay these rock throwers? It’s all theater. Gets more attention to him. Wouldn’t surprise me.

1. He praises Planned Parenthood as doing “wonderful work” for women – except for abortion. Really? What “pro-life” leader has ever praised PP?

Never heard the later, who’s making that claim?
Unless you think being anti-abortion is extreme right wing…

Protesters have no right to silence free speech. The constitution gives us that right no matter how offensive it is. But let’s keep in mind that there are those who look for any excuse to bring mayhem and violence to the scene. Trump is just the latest.

I’ve got to believe any protesters in Salt Lake City were largely brought in, that is a fairly calm city I’d say. Bringing in protesters is like Moveon.org (Soros). Some of these protests as in Chicago had the communist flag as well. Real terrorism.

I find that some people are just blowing out of proportion Trump’s flaws, and are in effect playing right into the hands of the leftist media, who would like nothing more than see Hillary Clinton and/or Sanders win the presidency.

It would be nice that if we are going to dissect everything that Trump says (even though most are just getting sound bites of his speeches) that we do the same to the other candidates to be fair.

p.s. I am not denying that Trump has said some stupid or rather made some insensitive comments, but I don’t believe he’s the racist that people are purporting him to be.

People have monitored how the protestors are being organized, and it’s by militant left wing agitators and groups, the ones funded by like of Soros or moveon.org.

Trying to blame this orchestrated violence on Trump is a pathetic deflection.
