Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[DeadmanWalking]

Should Hillary put all the ladies that Trump 'allegedly' assaulted into the audience? I don't know if they could give her that many seats...

[alexw]

And that's the other rub, if they wanted to actually replace the current ticket, they would have to fight 50 different legal battles, and resolve them in under a month. No way.

The only practical solution is to have Trump removed/resigned, leaving Pence at the top, and he would take the Presidency if the ticket won. That scenario is mildly constitutionally dicey, but would work out ala Nixon/Ford-ish.

It would not matter anyway. Even if Trump voluntarily stepped down they'd still lose. Too many people are utterly disgusted with the republican party to vote for them right now, and any Trump step-down would be blamed on the republican party by Trump's coalition of deplorables meaning they'd vote democratic just to see the republican party burn.

[Elegiac]

I mean, have you watched the really weird and awkward interviews where he basically says he believes in eugenics? In a one-on-one situation where he can't just stand a shout buzzwords his entire rhetoric falls apart and all his crazy thoughts come out.

It's common amongst stupid demagogues. Tiberius Gracchus he is not.

[Wyrt]

Yeah, if there's one thing the man is its delusionally stubborn.

Does that mean he's going to show up for the inauguration after he loses?

[cubby]

and pence is a piece of shit himself

Yeah, they are saying he legislates what Donald only threatens, in regards to social programs. Pence will be a major figure in the 2020 round. I'm not informed enough to know of his intelligence (some of the bills he's signed have been uproariously idiotic), but if he is smart, he might have done this entire dance for the long game play of being on the top spot in 2020.

i agree, the allegations against bill clinton are just outrageous. Linda Tripp may be one of the most unattractive human beings I’ve ever seen—not women, human beings. She’s just an unattractive person. This [Lucianne] Goldberg person, her agent or whatever she is, is just a terrible woman. You look at Paula Jones, I mean the whole cast of characters...It’s like it’s from Hell. It’s a terrible group of people.

Don't bother, Healing Rain shows up every day at the same time to make 1 post that spits out their hatred of Clinton and love of Trump and has no intentions of explaining their viewpoint or reading posts that attempt to counter their viewpoint.

[Breccia]

In what might be the least thought out movement of his...um...let's say "day", Trump cites Clinton's recovery from a concussion to attack the NFL's new concussion rules.

There are no words.

if we likened trump to hitler, pence would be Himmler

[Blur4stuff]

You either need proof or overwhelming numbers. We know Bill got a blowjob. But, there's no video or audio of him saying or doing much of anything else. Just a few other women making claims and a lot of rabid conspiracy theorists looking to make money for their radio show/website/news channel.

The problem for Trump is that he's on audio clearly explaining how he enjoys sexually assaulting women. There's also an increasing number of women and men confirming his behavior across decades in many settings and locations. If Trump ends up getting 20, 30, or even more victims/witnesses verifying his behavior then it's over. Most people will go ahead and firmly believe he's a predator.

What Trump supporters also don't seem to understand is that attacking Bill Clinton will have limited effect. In their mind attacking Bill is the same as attacking Hillary. What they fail to grasp is that millions of women identify with Hillary because of the men in their lives. They think they are scoring points, but what they are actually doing is hurting themselves.

i wanted to bait him into calling my opinion wrong, so i could say that those were trumps words when he defended clinton in 98

At this point, it seems, he has already accepted the defeat and decided, "If I go down, I want to go down with noise!"

Let's not get carried away. Pence has some loathesome opinions, but he did argue against armed revolution when Trump loses.

Try not to Godwin, hard to do when Trump basically got the nomination by telling people that life is horrible and a group of outsiders are to blame for all our problems, but never go full Godwin.

and being interested in dating 10 year old girls when they are older, and also admitting he thought paris hilton was beautiful when he met her when she was 12

[Truculentt]

My stance is that everything you've linked has been proven to be not what you think it is.

heh..proven.

you cant prove or disprove someone else, when you yourself (not you personally. you, as in the plural you) have zero knowledge of the topic at hand.

thats like saying "proven wrong by a conspiracy theory"

i provided the link to a flase publication. if you want more... its easy. just go look.

Problem is he won't take the bait, he's that annoying fish that jumps out of the water once a day to tease you into hunting it but it hates eating worms and never takes the bait because it prefers to eat the muck on the bottom of the lake.

You provided a link to an email that wasn't what you said it was. You provided a link to a satirical ad that you failed to recognise as satirical. These are your shortcomings and no one else's

If I want more I will demand that you provide it to me because that's how things work with burden of proof. Every time you say "it's easy, go look for yourself" you erode more of your credibility, and you look more like a pompous twat who can't actually back up anything he's saying.

You are proving that you have zero knowledge of how to even debate a point, let alone knowledge of the topic at hand. The best part is that you've shown that you've gotten upset a couple times so far, which means that you're not even trolling. You legitimately cannot back up the things that you so passionately believe in, but you also don't believe in them enough to even attempt to acknowledge burden of proof.

Because I'm pretty sure you don't even know what it means.

there's a bigger problem in america, when we can't admit that men talk similarly to whats on trump tapes all the time. Of course, not with any intent behind it, but you will be hard pressed to find a construction site in america that doesnt have worse dialog on a daily basis.

I don't think anyone really identifies with Hillary. Women just see Trump as the worst human being alive, so Hilary is an easy default when policy is basically absent from political conversation this election cycle.
