Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[Merkava]

I know this may come as a shock to you but not everything is about you. I was referencing how hard it is to get people to admit they are wrong when they are wrong. Human behavior 101. But if you want to make everything about you I will be glad to oblige you,.

I never said everything was about me. Just that I was the person being referenced. Reading comprehension might not be your strong suit so let me lay it out for you;

Here's the progression of the discussion that you quoted and participated in...

I really need to remember that Merkava takes every letter typed to be 100% literal and if even one i isn't dotted it negates your entire statement.

That is a bottomless trap I've fallen into as well. You know he's wrong. He knows he's wrong. The world knows he's wrong. But his hang up on one undotted i grinds the entire conversation to a halt.

The he being referenced in the post that you quoted in your armchair psychological evaluation was me. Make a little more effort with the reading next time.

Who the hell cares if it's not uncommon?! It's wrong and proven wrong and proven wrong for years now, and Trump still believes it! You're trying to hide his ignorance under some 'well everyone does it' bullshit, which isn't even true!

This brings me back to my original point that you attacked me for: If you don't want people in power that ignore science, STOP ELECTING THEM.

I didn't vote for "anti-science" Obama who claimed that the California drought was due to global warming. Did you?

He isn't going to win bar a black swan event. His ceiling of support is 43/44% and that simply isn't enough (he made it past it one brief time via his convention bump). Even Clintons deplorables comments and her health scare didn't put him ahead, and now the polling data is reversing back to trend with a comfortable Clinton lead. He can't win when his ceiling is the same a Clinton's floor.

There is always the chance of an October Surprise, which personally I think the 911 feint counts, it hit her polls, but the truth of the matter is that had she not gone to that event the Republicans would of skewered her harder than feinting from pnuemonia.

There is a chance of an October surprise on both sides especially since wikileaks and Russia seem to have hardons for effecting our election, one to pure chaos and the other to reshape the western european map in their favor.

My crazy Rush loving Co-worker went off on me that he knew Putin has her emails and will blackmail her for what ever he wants and he doesn't want someone in office that can be blackmailed, to which I responded that if he had her emails and could blackmail her then why isn't Putin trying to help Hillary and hurt Trump? If I had blackmail on her I would want her to be president so I could use it to get what I wanted, not release DNC emails to hurt her with sanders voters just before her convention. People seem to enjoy drinking from the fountain of insanity.

Peer-reviewed studies are divided on whether the drought can be blamed on climate change.

Do you even read these links you barf up when you're trying to deflect away from Trump? If Obama actually said that - which you didn't link - at worst he's making a claim that isn't fully supported yet but is still under review and is at least supported by some evidence. Trump has nothing. NOOOOOOOTHEEEEENG.

That's the post that you quoted and replied to. Make a little more effort with the reading next time.

You need to stop taking everything so personally and assuming everything has to do with you. While you may be the center of your own universe you don't even exist in 99.999999999999999% of the rest of the world's population. I didn't quote you, I didn't reference you. I didn't mention you by name. If you feel I was addressing you personally that is entirely on you, your imagination and your own personal feelings about yourself. Get over yourself and move along.

If say people with huge egos are powermonger pipesmokers and you get mad that I called -you- a powermongering pipesmoker then that wasn't me insulting you, that was you insulting you.

You can piss and moan about this as much as you wish in future posts but don't expect me to take the time to respond anymore, I have more important things to do with my time like pick my nose.

You are never going to convince him that he is wrong, he thinks he has to win the internet no matter the cost.

He said it as if it was fact when it obviously isn't. You really should stop voting for "anti-science" candidates.

I'll also note that Chelsea Handler, the largest source of the spreading of anti-vaxxers through media claimed her son was a victim of Vaccination into Autism and it was determined a few years later that the child only suffered from seizures as the child was aware of it's surroundings and didn't have all the symptoms of Autism. Basically she got a bad diagnosis and ran around spreading the Anti-vax paranoia.

Jenny McCarthy, not Chelsea Handler. Don't want to call out the wrong person.

[Merkava]

You need to stop taking everything so personally and assuming everything has to do with you. .

I already told you. I don't take everything personally, and I don't assume that everything is about me. But in this case, I was the person being referenced. Lenonis mentioned me by name, Cubby responded and referenced me multiple times, and then you responded to him and attempted to lump me in with people you thought fit your analysis.

You responded to and quoted a post where someone was commenting on my posting habits. If you don't understand that, I'll post it again. You then went to make generalizations about human behavior based on the comments about me that were said previously. That's the context. If you didn't intend for your remarks to apply to me, then you should have said so. You're being called out on it now, and I showed how I don't fit your stereotype, and now you backtrack and try to say that you weren't talking about me in the first place. It's almost disappointing that you folded so quickly. Maybe you'll have the temerity to actually defend your own positions next time.

I know it was you. I was agreeing with him. Jesus.

That is odd that he backed out of the position so quickly. I know this response is even odder . . . but still.

[Matchles]

Hillary Clinton and Obama also once believed that vaccines were possibly responsible for autism...even after it was debunked. What say you now?

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...-vaccine-tweet

Nice try. The Wakefield study was fully retracted in 2011. Clinton's comment was in 2008. That was BEFORE, not after. Yes, there was talk that the study was bogus at the time, but it was long before the journal retracted it and was firmly during the time the validity of the study was being debated. And her statement is ANYTHING but committed to the idea that there is a link between the two.

[Merkava]

I know it was you. I was agreeing with him. Jesus.

I know you did. This exchange between us right now is a misunderstanding. My reply to you in my post to DMW wasn't meant as a literal reply to you. I was pointing out to him that you were referencing me, by quoting your post. Does that make sense? He seems to think that his longwinded analysis in post #8453.

[DeadmanWalking]

Yes, I screwed them up in my head, thank you for the correction.

You are lying. Do you even know what 'peer review' means? It means that there have been papers submitted to scientific journals, with all research and evidence included, for other scientists to review. If there are peer reviewed studies that indicate that the drought was caused by climate changed, then it is not obvious that it's false. It sounds like there are conflicting papers, so there's no consensus yet, but there's still evidence for the climate change hypothesis in this case.

Trump's views on vaccines have been proven wrong and he still believes them How is that remotely similar?

You need to stop searching for things that don't actually prove your case, though I suspect you just like to be wrong.

[cubby]

Since I'm the person being referenced in the last couple of posts, I can assert that while I'm not proven wrong very often, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. Here's one example, and again, even as recent as yesterday, to Xarkan. Not only do I admit when I'm wrong, but I apologize to the people I may have offended when I'm wrong, and I even thank them for correcting me. The only problem is, as some might see it, I'm just not proven wrong that often.

You are wrong more often than you think you are . . . people are just tired of your redirection campaigns (as Lenonis pointed out). However, it is nice to actually see you admit it (and for the record, I am occasionally wrong too).

[mvaliz]

I'm waiting for the alt right to start calling him a beta cuck for bowing down to the man who insulted his wife and father, but I expect all we'll hear is the silence of crickets.

They will do the opposite and welcome him as anybodywho acknowledges and validates their selfish views as being "correct" they will forgive.

Ive said to friends that if Clinton suddenly dropped out and endorsed Trump, they would cheer and rub it in clinton supporter's faces with joy -while instantly forgetting why they were suposed to hate her inthe first place...

...because we all know the only resons they hate her are two-fold: because her name is "Clinton" and she's running for president as a Democrat. Everything else is just excuses to hide that fact.

Just watch... If by some miracle Dump wins, all calls of "lock her up!" and all attention to her will suddenly vanish.

[Matchles]

Yes, I screwed them up in my head, thank you for the correction.

Outspoken, foul-mouthed, blonde women that are pretty much the same age. No idea how the two could be confused :P

Nah, I just have better things to do than argue with someone who feels their ego was victimized.

I didn't redirect anything that Lenonsis said. His statement didn't prove what he thought it did.

If I'm wrong then point it out. Like I said, I'll thank you for it. But, have your facts straight, cuz, If you come at the King, you best not miss.

Well fuck - gotcha. I gotta tell you that was a little confusing. I'm gonna take an aspirin or something.

Crazy nutter voters are bad enough, but a crazy nutter presidential candidate who has surrounded himself with crazy nutters who he is going to put into positions of power is even worse.

This is one of Trumps top surrogates on a PBS special we will all have a chance to watch next week -
