Uh-huh. Now tell me you wouldn't be crowing about it if left-leaning newspapers were endorsing Trump. Go ahead, and - while I know this is really difficult for you - please be honest.

I love that this conspiracy actually appeared.

Or...ANY at all. Right now, Trump is "crowing" that he has the support of online polls. Including two that didn't exist, and a bunch that were rigged (see previous posts and add NBC to the list). Originally Posted by LaserSharkDFB
The issue with the newspapers adds to the growing list of names of longtime GOP leaders who have endorses Clinton -- and more yet who refuse to endorse Trump. Such as Virginia Republican John Warner, who was a Republican Senator during Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush's terms (five for him). Warner is well known for reaching across the aisle, being both a national security expert, chairing the Armed Forces Committee, and for having sex with Elizabeth Taylor. He won his last election with over eighty percent of the popular vote. And he's endorsing Clinton shortly.
Simply put, Trump is discouraging more and more long-term Republicans, both politicians and otherwise. But these newspapers speak both to their readers, and to a certain extent, for. As the Arizona Republic has done, when they asked their readers about the Stupid Fucking Wall and immigration and their readers hated Trump's policies on both. The fact that newspapers with circulation in the millions in battleground states (Ohio, Arizona) and even Republican territory (Texas) should be a warning sign to Trump that, if all he can muster are the results of a few obviously rigged online polls (I mean for crying out loud, he walked out of the debate claiming 90% results, which he never got by the way, he either knew they were rigged ahead of time or he's really that blatantly stupid) then he has ground to make up.
And, if I may get blatantly stereotypical here, who still reads newspapers? Old people. What do old people do? Vote.

Do they make an out-of-breath sniffling prevention machine, too? Because I know someone who wants one! Originally Posted by PRE 9-11

He's not? Oh, sorry, my bad. Sometimes I can't tell you insane, pants-on-head conspiracy theorists apart. Originally Posted by Daerio

Try being right for a change! It'll be refreshing!

'Daerio... has... no... idea... whether... he's... right... or... wrong.' Well, we already knew that. Originally Posted by Daerio

Indeed, in this context, "being right" seem to equal being a cheerleader for whichever team wins, regardless of the score. Originally Posted by LaserSharkDFB

Noooo, the context is 'whether the things one says are, in fact, true'. Which you never are. And you either don't realize it, don't care, or actually enjoy being wrong. Hope that spells it out for you, I know you have difficulty with complicated subjects like 'facts' and 'reality'. Originally Posted by Daerio

You said Trump is not your candidate, but a request to critique him on the easily verifiable issues, would make you a useful idiot? I don't mean to be insulting and wouldn't say it if you didn't bring it up, but doesn't that make you a useful idiot for Trump? Useful idiot is definetley the wrong word, but it's close enough to patsy and will be fun in my next paragraph. After all, what else are you, when you claim Trump is not your candidate, but you refuse to acknowledge even the straightforward issues he has? Originally Posted by Daerio

That term is litteraly made up as red scare propoganda and isn't actually about Lenin, but your willingness to accept bullshit, without doing a minimal effort to see accuracy. Just parroting what you hear...

You're just putting all kinds of words in everyone else's mouth, aren't you? Isn't this infraction-worthy? Originally Posted by Felya
