This is sort of like someone saying don’t think about pink elephants. You can come back and say you didn’t mean it, but now the other person is thinking about pink elephants, are they possible, why shouldn’t I think about pink elephants, etc.

Maybe not bizarre, but excellent example of manipulation.

Perhaps this is a “schooling” in manipulation? He is modeling what manipulation looks like but the lesson just doesn’t seem to be sticking.

We are all walking around being manipulated by the MSM, by the DNC, by the Clinton Foundation, by the DOJ, by the political elites and no matter how obviously they ply their manipulative trade, we remain oblivious and in denial.

You just have to look a little into what the Clintons did in Haiti to know that nothing that Trump would or could ever do would match what the Clintons have been up to and will continue to be up to. Robbing from the desperately poor to give to the ostentatiously rich with impunity and, yet, no one with the power or authority to call them on it will. Speaking of manipulation…

…when you have mastered the art to the extent that those who are being manipulated will get downright angry at even the hint that they are being manipulated, clearly there is no antidote to your control over them.
 
…and another one:

Former Reagan official swears off Trump, backs Clinton

Donald Trump has failed to prove he is competent to be president, a former Ronald Reagan official said Friday in announcing his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

Robert Tuttle, who served as an assistant to the president and director of presidential personnel in Reagan’s administration and who was also a U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom under George W. Bush, says he will vote for a Democrat for the first time in his life come November.

“The Republican nominee for president has no government experience and has done nothing in his career to demonstrate that he is competent to be president,” Tuttle said in a statement. “He has made repeated misstatements and inaccurate statements. He has insulted minorities, women, a war hero and Gold Star parents. He is unqualified and unfit to be president. I have never voted for a Democrat but I will vote for Secretary Clinton.”

Tuttle’s support comes two days after Clinton’s campaign announced its Together for America initiative, the Democratic presidential nominee’s effort to attract Republicans and independents.

With Trump as the Republican Party’s standard-bearer, Clinton’s campaign has touted the growing number of Republicans and former GOP officials who have flocked to her campaign, including the former Republican Cabinet secretaries announced Wednesday.

Trump is very skilled at television and has won awards for his decades on television.

Seriously, watch his presentations at rallies. In fact at his NAHB presentation in Florida, he didn’t even need to use a teleprompter.

Well, if he’d use a teleprompter, he’d stay on message and not make all the gaffes that have gotten him in so much trouble. 😉
 
This is so sad. The GOP seems to be the party of “we’ll get 'em next time”.
I am so sick of that mentality!!!😦

In that context, there is an interesting paragraph in:

There is no Pro-Life Case for Donald Trump

Do I have any confidence that Republicans will do the right thing? No! None whatsoever! Not a shred! I have as much confidence in that as I do that Trump will nominate a conservative justice. I mean, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that we are talking about a party that mocked Obama for being dependent upon a teleprompter, and that now praises their candidate because he manages to follow one. It’s a cruel and hilarious irony, really. They have become a parody of their past criticisms.

The Great Recession was quite ugly although Trump if he defaults could achieve something even worse

And of course the Great Recession started when our economy almost crashed in the last months of the Bush administration, so it’s a little unreasonable to blame Obama for all the debt resulting from the stimulus that was needed to save the economy.

What did he save … exactly?

During the Reagan years, the average annual GDP increase was 3.5% per year.

During the Clinton years, the average annual GDP increase was 3.9% per year.

During the George W. Bush years, the average annual GDP increase was 2.0% per year.

During the Obama years, the average annual GDP increase was 1.5% per year.

Obama has brought us the worst recovery ever.

Take a close look at how Hillary uses the teleprompter.

Seriously.

Look at her eye movement.

She has real issues.

I challenge that characterization. Care to support it?

LaRaza is not a criminal gang. Some association with that organization is not necessarily a disqualifying feature.

LOL

:rotfl:

It’s public information.

Look it up.

Widely disseminated.

Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton has failed at everything she has ever touched.

She was “co-president” for eight years.

Major accomplishment was destroying so many women for “bimbo eruptions”.

Then she was Senator from New York.

Was able to rename a post office.

Secretary of State.

Visited 117 countries.

Perpetual state of jet lag.

One accomplishment. Collected hundreds of millions of dollars for the Clinton Foundation, which is about 80% self-enrichment. Still waiting for the IRS audit of that fiasco.

Sold 50% of U.S. uranium to Russia and reaped a $145 million commission check.

Turns out her BFF has the critical missing emails. Huma.

Now Judicial Watch has gotten copies of those missing emails, that Hillary said didn’t exist.

There is a web site with the list of her associates who turned up dead.

And some people think she would be a good president.

Seriously?

She would complete Obama’s vision of bringing us to Venezuela.

Oh yeah, … she said she wants to fix the infrastructure.

[Where has she been for the past 30 years? Obama has been the president for the past 8 years. The Republicans let him spend whatever he wants. AND SHE SAYS SHE WILL FIX THE INFRASTRUCTURE. ]

Oh yeah, … and Obama spent nearly ONE TRILLION on infrastructure.

And … how much of it got fixed … exactly?

What planet are these two from?

There were many reasons that I voted against Trump in April (and I’m guessing if I read that article I’d learn a few more) … but one of them was that I fear what will happen in Nov. I just don’t buy the idea that Trump can beat Clinton in the general election.

Would you prefer a Clinton presidency over a Johnson presidency?
