Trump Thread

[grotto]

MSNBC is really the dregs of the media. Chris Matthews has very little competition in the arena of the most flapper mouthed. Alan Combs of FOX is the other competitor. Trump was ill advised to go for that interview and showed patience and restraint enduring the insulting vitriol.

The media needs a good cleansing. They have set the tone by using all the anger, jealousy, card playing tactics, and then come off as being morally superior. They delight in “spinning” any discussion of women, men, wife, husband, appearance, using sexual content as the most necessary to inform. Its an entrapment sport. IMO Fox/Meagan Kelly conducted the start of the Republican Debate in this manner and it has never let up.

This election campaign is most important to our country. There are so many areas of great importance to discuss but the media wants to keep it in the dark mud. Hopefully they will stop the roulette wheel and give the American people a break!

The heat needs to be turned up on the Clinton crimes, Obama/Kerry nuke sellout, the freeing of terrorists back to terror, the horrific heroin epidemic outbreak. The list is long.

Donald Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse as General Election Loom

While Trump was never popular outside of his loyal slice of GOP voters, a raft of new polls show his national position hitting new lows, including with groups that are supposed to form his base.

Thanks for posting that. I saw Larry J. Sabato talk about his predictions on Fox last night, but it’s nice to take a closer look at his map.

Of course the thing is, that’s all based on poll numbers and some people just don’t believe in poll numbers.

I saw Sabato on either MSNBC or CNN last night too. Wasn’t pretty for the GOP.

Trump is a very weak candidate. He should have collapsed a long time ago. The only thing keeping him going was the huge number of other candidates and the odd way the primaries played out.

He could have turned it around and expanded his lead, but he seems unable to mature into the position of front runner.

Just wait till trump gets on hillary for her lies, email scandal, incompetency, bengahzi scandal.

The media revels in dishing on the GOP and they always hide the dirt on democrats. Trump won’t let them get away with it. He’s the only one who will go there with Hillary.

Trump is a very poor debater. He makes personal attacks and doesn’t bring out weak points of his opponents and factually drill into them. He seems not to understand that simply making personal insults won’t win over the vast majority of Americans.

Trump’s major weaknesses have nothing to do with the media. The media love Trump, with him come ratings.

He’s a poor debater because you are used to political speak. Cruz is a good debater in that sense but a bad talker. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert cartoons, says trump is the best persuader in the campaign and that’s why he’s winning, and hillary is the worst of the worst: she has not persuasion ability at all.

These people in the Media sure don’t ask Mr. Sanders or Mrs. Clinton any tough questions about abortion and how these politicians support the shedding of the blood of innocent unborn children, or call them Anti-Unborn, all in the name of being in favor of an immoral “choice” to destroy.

Also, these “Town Halls” and Debates put on by the Media are never at a socially conservative university or college. They held a Republican Debate at the University of Miami.

Why not have one at a Catholic University or College?

It’s like the Media pretends Catholic Universities and Colleges don’t exist except when their teams play sports on Saturday.

There would be no reason to ask them if a woman should be punished for an abortion. They aren’t the ones running around calling abortion “murder”. Instead they support the law and Constitution as the SCOTUS interpreted it over 43 yrs ago now and they understand not all religions, not even all Christian denominations agree with the Catholic Church on the abortion issue.

Nah. There is nothing much new about Hillary Clinton that the public hasn’t already heard. She’s been pretty much vetted over the course of her many yrs in the public eye and has for nearly a quarter of a century been attacked by the Republicans. Remember how well she came out of that 10 hr or however many hrs Bengahzi hearing? I actually can’t wait for her to take on Donald Trump.

Just wait till Hillary gets on Trump for his lack of foreign policy knowledge and all his flip-flopping and kerfluffles like the abortion thing. Trump has told a lot of lies himself. I don’t think he’ll want to go there with Hillary.

Sorry, Sy! I posted before I saw your post.

I’m looking forward to seeing a Trump/Hillary debate, too!

Problem is, a lot of people love trump, but precious few people like hillary. They will vote for her because she is democrat or because she is a woman, or because they like Bill.

And Trump jumps on her for the absolute disaster her term as SOS was. Dead diplomats, belligerent Russia, middle east in turmoil and terrorists attacks on the rise.

Plenty of problems on the Republicans’ watch Hillary can bring up. Off course she can’t attack Trump’s experience because he hasn’t got any!

No matter what anyone thinks of her tenure as SoS, she will mop the floor with Trump on foreign affairs. She has been to countries he has probably never heard of.

I don’t even dislike Trump. I just dislike him as a presidential candidate, but I do support his right to run. I won’t vote for him, but I support his right to try to win my vote.

I adore Hillary and Bill both. I’m not so fond of Chelsea, though. Strange. I can relate to both Hillary and Bill. I can’t relate to Trump at all. Not in the slightest.

“A lot of people love Trump” seems to translate to about 37% give or take of those voting in his own party’s primaries and caucuses. There is a “Stop Trump” movement going on right now within the Republican ranks.

Trump has won 37 percent of Republican votes and is regarded unfavorably by more than 60 percent of general election voters. It’s hard to get from there to 270 electoral votes.

To be fair, Lily, he tells us all the time he is experienced at building very tall buildings.

I think it is much less than that. He has managed to turn off people who voted for him early on in the process.

Yep, and the only person he has to blame is himself.
