Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[DeadmanWalking]

Maybe it's dawning on them that they got the same old amnesty platform that they hated so much after all. The only think they had to give up to get it was a candidate who was actually electable in a general election.

Well the entire reason Donald was chosen was "Because he isn't a politician." Which means, "Yes I sent you to Washington to represent me but now that you are there you can't represent me because naturally you are corrupt. Did I look at your record? Hell no, that would require effort." then they checked every single guy they could who wasn't a politician and Donald happened to a have a wall ideal which these kinds of voters like to hear.

How can anyone trust Trump now?

Clinton was the liar and Trump was the honest (even if simple) one during the primaries.

Now it seems like Trump is doing more flips than the US gymnastics team whiles Clinton's lies and scandals are being explained and looking a lot more reasonable.

Bullshit. Hillary could never pull off those boots.

Oh Oh. It looks like Ann Coulter sobered up and is now doing her own "softening".

That whore. I just said I admired her for sticking to her principles and THIS within 24 hours? Unless she said that at gunpoint this reverses any shred of respect she'd earned.

"What to do with the illegals already here was never really a big part of it."

The denial is unreal. What planet are these people living on where they can blatantly contradict reality? I hope Clinton shoves this down their collective throats during the debates for easy free points.

Because its not about actual political policies. Its about continuing her career as a right-wing media hack.

Double edged sword of running a conspiracy nut. When he was doing it during primaries, it was largely ignored, as pandering or being populous. Without the expected pivot, he went too far into conspiracy theory. Where instead of raising questions about Hillary's past, he excused them by going farther than most are willing to accept. When you call her the ISIS MVP, it raises question about his acumen, not hers. It also makes legitimate claims drowned out by the extreme. See how much of the Hillary thread is devoted to her conspiracy with Benghazi, email and down right murder accusations.

Lol! Very funny. Nice sense of humor.

Saw a video of Ronald Reagan telling a story of a Republican who was trying to find a place to give a speech out in the country and he asked some farmer if he could use his farm to advertise one for and give it. The farmer said yes, but the only high thing he had which would work as a platform , was a tall pile of cow manure. The Republican said it would do and after he had climbed up and gave his speech a few days later, the farmer said., " Nice speech!". The Republican said , " Thank you!, but It was the first time I gave a speech from a Democratic platform."

I just marathoned Ronald Reagan's speeches and it baffles me that the same republicans that worship him, can vote for Trump.

I am not surprised he could stand on the pile of manure as he and his supporters obviously couldn't tell the difference between the smell of his rhetoric and the bullshit.

Also this is quite funny.

Considering Reagan was for amnesty and gun control? Yeah it is kinda surprising.

Not sure what else she could do. She is a grifter and books are the grift she rides. New book on Trump literally released yesterday. He softens, she does.

If Reagan were alive I would be posting an article entitled. "I was President of the United States and I will not be voting for Donald Trump."

Interesting article why Clinton made the speech she did today. It allows the press to talk about Trump's racism openly.

Here's Why Hillary Clinton Talked About Racism and the Alt-Right Today

Hillary Clinton gave a speech today. Patrick Caldwell summarizes:

Democrats haven't been shy about pointing out the racial undertones in Donald Trump's campaign, but Hillary Clinton took that message to a new level Thursday, calling out the GOP nominee for purposefully whipping up racist bigotry and resentment...."From the start," Clinton said, "Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He's taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous."

Why did she do this? The most popular explanation is that she was giving "permission" for moderate Republicans to stay home in November. Donald Trump, she said, isn't a traditional Republican. He's a hate-monger who's hijacked the party as a vehicle for his loathsome brand of racism and xenophobia. Even if you're a loyal Republican, you don't have to support that.

But I'll propose a different explanation: she was giving the press permission to talk about Donald Trump's racism. So far, they've tiptoed around it. But once the candidate herself calls it out, it invites a thousand think pieces about Breitbart, the alt-right, the GOP's history of tolerating bigotry, Trump's troubling background, and dozens of other related topics. Surrogates can blather all they want about this, but it doesn't truly become a mainstream subject until the actual candidate for president makes it one.

This is part of the agenda-setting power that presidential candidates have. Donald Trump has used it endlessly, and now Hillary Clinton is using it too. Trump has made his bed, and Hillary is making sure he has to lie in it.

Clinton knows how to play Trump like a book, sad because all this race has been so far is how deep of a hole can Trump dig for himself. He can't get to her if she doesn't doesn't play his game, remember how he got all his opponents to tank in the primaries? He suckered them into a passing match, and no one can out shit talk Trump in his own game.

Half the anti-Trump ads are just him talking, like damn, the man is struggling throw him a bone to chew.
I imagine in the debates she'll just treat him like a child while he he either flip flops on everything thing he said or tries to get her to play his game. But after a year of rolling her eyes are criticism about Benghazi and her emails it's really hard to attack Clinton with the same GOP and Trump tactics.

Wonder what the campaign has up their sleeves.
