Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[Ausr]

Although I do think they are McPaper, middle America (and business travelers) do read USA Today. it is worth noting that they've never made a Presidential endorsement in their 34 year history.

Trump is so bad that they broke that tradition to un-endorse him.

USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency'



To the article's credit, it is a fantastic summary of just how revolting Trump is.

Jesus... that's harsh.

[Thepersona]

You know... i've never said my personal opinion here about why i cannot fathom a Trump presidency. It's not that he's obviously inqualified for the job, or that he's a proven racist and mysoginist, or that he is incapable of tell only the truth for a full day (although that also counts). For me is a much more important thing. if he gets elected, he will pull the US out of the Paris agreement on climate change, and will try to dismantle the EPA. Those 2 things alone are for me tipping points. If the US pulls out of the agreement, and makes enviromental deregulation the norm, we (as humanity) are f*cked. we will reach the point of no return, and will probably face extintion in a century or two, for the stupidity of today.

I will be harsh here, but if the Donald wins, Humanity loses. This election is too important for me because of that. Because it could mean that the light of hope that we have still shines with a dim light, or it's put out forever

Violence against trump supporters is just as wrong as violence against trump protesters.

Violence is not an acceptable response to political ideologies.

Everyone seemed to think it was a good idea last time someone came around with the same ideas as Trump:


Stop Trumpism now or stop Trumpism later. Choice seems pretty clear to me.

The only reason violence against advocates of violence is wrong is if there's a better strategy.

[DeadmanWalking]

If trump wins we will fill up the prisons with the lying msm marxists. We need a new media, one that isn't ran by Marxists. We will reopen Mcarthy hearings to find out who is being influenced by the communists and put them in jail also. In the new jails, the prisoners will be forced to work 14hrs per day, they will be kept in solitary confinement for the remaining 10hrs and they will only be fed bread and water.

Gentlemen, we have gone from full frontal meltdown to nuking the fridge while jumping a shark.

Nothing about meat and pudding? Disappointed...

Well, how could he talk about pudding if he didn't even mention eating meat?

That isn't very Christian of you Hooked, or is your persona no longer Christian? I don't keep up these days.

Well, Jesus broke bread with people... and he mentions feeding slave-prisoners bread - so I guess that makes him christian? /shrug

It's hilarious how people are oblivious to the fact Hitler aligned more with leftist ideals.

[Breccia]

Conway basically gets rekt on every live appearance she makes. Why is Trump keeping her?

You didn't see the job she did before. She was brought in to handle a difficult job, and at first she had some success. Then Trump basically said "No, we're up in the polls because of me. We do this my way, my way is always right. Back me or you're fired."

Seriously I've documented her slow slide into her current situation over the weeks. It's like the Shining, only instead of chasing everyone with an axe, she's just chased out into the cold...slowly freezing...that grin...slowly...

She had such potential. It's a shame.

Well someone hasn't heard of the First Amendment. You know it's first for a reason, right?

Hah! You think Donald is a righty? He can't even tell people what it means to be a conservative, "I love the word conservative, it's all in the word conserve.... I want to conserve my money.... your money."

[Gestopft]

Wow, what a day for Trump: between the revelations that his company spent money in Cuba and the report that his charity isn't certified to solicit donations, there's even more stuff Trump supporters can deny or pretend isn't a big deal.

He would only pull out if the restrictions keep millions of Americans from having good paying jobs. He is not going to dismantle the EPA. He will however try to remove some regulations which hamper prosperity, which can be done without doing harm to the environment.

If he wins, it will be based primarily on economy concerns. But I think you can rest ok. The odds are against him considering how powerful a political machine the Clinton's are and backed by most media input. Hillary still has the most favorable path to victory. But Americans will lose if she does. Which is why his policies rather than his personality, is why I will vote for him.

He's not conservative, he's far right just like Hitler was. So all the worst social aspects of the right (rampant bigotry, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc) coupled with a few economic ideas of the left. That's basically what the far right is. Extreme right wing voters love it.

He should be prosecuted, right? :P And Hillary should not for carelessly handling classified information which put US national security at risk. And the Clinton Foundation concerns are nothing to worry about. :P

I've been wondering how he managed to get away with everything hes done with respect to his foundation because normally charities like these are regulated in what they can do. Well now we all know. It wasn't regulated. It wasn't registered as a charity so there wasn't any oversight and so it got away will lots and lots of criminal stuff that is now coming to light.

.

Many restrictions are enviromental ones, and his intention of pulling out of the paris agreement is disturbing.
And if by pulling out restrictions you mean some form of trickle down economics, as a business and economics student i got to tell you, that doesnt work

and also, a nice source

Their retort is: the facts don't matter. Trumpkins don't care, so there is no reason to address fact backed accusations. But HRC Clinton foundations conspiracies where they can't show quid pro quo in the least and all procedures for disclosure were followed still get airtime.

Nope - but he should damn well be investigated, and be prosecuted if found guilty.

And Hillary should not for carelessly handling classified information which put US national security at risk. And the Clinton Foundation concerns are nothing to worry about. :P

Both of those were investigated, and found to be negligible or innocent of anything.

Please link the evidence you have of the Clinton Foundation breaking laws.

Also of Hillary breaking laws while you're at it since the Director of the FBI himself said she didn't...
