Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[NineSpine]

Most idiotic thing said this campaign: "as my first act as president, I am going to start a war with Russia"

Yeah, Hillary Clinton is a warmonger, but she isn't an idiot.

[Breccia]

Ladies and gentlemen, the obituary of Kellyanne Conway's career hasn't been written yet, but when it is, this will be one of the causes of death.

Trump Campaign Manager: 'I Wish There Were More Debates'

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that she wished her candidate had more opportunities to debate and would "be willing to do another one if somehow they can squeeze it in."

"We had some positive movements in some of the swing states and I think some of the polls will tighten ... because the debates are a very unique opportunity for all of America to see these candidates side by side, and I wish there were more debates frankly," Conway said on a New York City radio show.

Conway argued that debate forums were conducive to democracy.

"I think Donald Trump would challenge Hillary Clinton to another debate for a very simple reason," she said. "Unless you are a money donor, you are not going to have much access to Hillary Clinton out on the stump now. So, to give people a free opportunity to see them side by side and have them really mix it up on the issues to me is the purest form of democracy."

Well, according to The Donald he has won every single debate so far, so why not?! They always fire up his base, so there's that.

[Breccia]

Conway doesn't believe that. She's not dumb enough to believe that.

[Captain N]

Conway doesn't believe that. She's not dumb enough to believe that.

I don't know about that -- Consider the horse she's backing despite the blazing inferno in the stable.

[-Nurot]

Well, according to The Donald he has won every single debate so far, so why not?! They always fire up his base, so there's that.

Just today he claimed that not only is the media, rigged, but the media is rigging the polls and he's actually winning.

Fake it until you make it, or until you have your own news channel anyways.

[Dug]

Oh Breccia... the second she aligned herself with that clown she showed just how dumb she is.

[Merkava]

Maybe she didn't formally ask to be relieved, just mentioned it to see what the possibilities were. Who knows? I don't know why you are trying to parse out the minutia of things that happened forty years ago and acting like every detail that isn't pristine and crystal clear is evidence of some reinterpretation of the fact.

From her book:

"[Prosecuting attorney Mahlon Gibson] called me to tell me an indigent prisoner accused of raping a twelve-year-old girl wanted a woman lawyer. [Prosecutor Mahlon] Gibson had recommended that the criminal court judge, Maupin Cummings, appoint me. I told Mahlon I really didn’t feel comfortable taking on such a client, but Mahlon gently reminded me that I couldn’t very well refuse the judge’s request."

From a 2008 article:

"“Hillary told me she didn’t want to take that case, she made that very clear,” recalls prosecutor Gibson, who phoned her with the judge’s order."

I'm not parsing anything. I'm simply saying there's no evidence that Hillary Clinton had to take that case. If you're going to offer what she said in her book as evidence, then I'm going to offer what she's said on tape.

What she said in the book doesn't conflict with the tape.

At this point, I think she is. That or she's resigned herself to completely live in Trump's fantasy land because she has to as his campaign manager.

Just today he claimed that not only is the media, rigged, but the media is rigging the polls and he's actually winning.

Yeah, saw that earlier today and giggled heartily. Remember, unless Trump is winning whatever it is that says he's losing is clearly rigged. Always.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Clinton's health, which is by even the most pessimistic reports better than the vast majority of people her age. Meanwhile, Trump has only produced a letter from his gastroenterologist, who he pretended is his GP.

I don't give a shit what the doctors on her payroll have to say.

I can hire people to make shit up for me too.

So instead lets consider all the times when we've had visible evidence of her health.

All the times shes fallen down, fainted, wobbled over, been propped up, been dragged up stairs, been loaded into vehicles.

Plus the woman has a serious brain issue.

Do you know how many shes said "I cannot recall" over the past 2 years?

Over 100 on documented times lol.

Are you claiming Trump is completely transparent about any of his health issues? Do you really think a 70 year old obese man has 0 health issues?

Funny, that would mean trump must have multiple personality disorder, and schizophrenia, seeing as how he used to call into places as his own publicist using a different name, and he makes up delusional stories on the spot as if they're facts and doubles down on them.

You mean the one time she feinted outside her van because she was actively campaigning with pneumonia rather than resting?

Or the fact that occasionally a 70 year old woman who is actively campaigning hard for president may need a hand up some stairs from time to time? Oh heavens no!

Plus the woman has a serious brain issue.

Citation needed. She had a concussion that she has recovered from, but there is no evidence of longterm brain issues that doesn't fall squarely under conspiracy theories.

Do you know how many shes said "I cannot recall" over the past 2 years?

Nope, do you have a count?

And is this different than when Trump couldn't recall that he said he has the best memory? Because that was a thing that happened, FYI.

Over 100 on documented times lol.

Cool, what couldn't she recall? I'm assuming you have a link to these 100 documented times so that context can be provided?

[Buckeyenut88]

Forget his age, what about his drug habit? He has a cocaine addiction, Trump should drop out and seek treatment asap.

[Dug]

I mean if we want to talk about memory issues ol Donny boy can't seem to remember the shit he says whenever someone quotes the insane shit he says and he claims he never said it. Even when its word for word.

Inb4 "Okay but I'm not a Trump supporter" lol

She didn't have a serious brain issue. She has no documented issues that aren't absolutely normal for her age. But hey, if you want to make up conspiracy theories because reality is inconvenient, keep on trucking. Maybe we can have Donald Trumps' pretend doctor check her out.

[NoiseTank13]

INCREDIBLY DAMNING HILLARY EMAIL COURTESY WIKILEAKS

[Dug]

The healthers never acknowledge me when I call out Trump on his obesity so that leads me to believe A) They don't think obesity is an issue, B) They're obese themselves, there for A and B or C) They think it's totally fine for men to be obese but "no fat chicks"

[TrumpIsPresident]
