Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[fengosa]

It's not election day yet, think you need to wait until then to say he is "losing". All you have to go on is a bunch of bullshit polls. Trump is going to crush Hillary on election day. She does not stand a chance.

It's not a matter of if he'll lose at this point, it's more about how much he'll lose buy.

[Breccia]

Don't say 'demon' or you'll summon Hillareval!

If you say her name into a mirror five times, she'll show up and give you $2,000 tax credit for children under four, give HIV/AIDS medicine to Africans, and kill Osama.

[Truculentt]

Okay. Sure. Cooked polls. Meaning the vast majority of the polls, even from right-wing sources, have been 'skewed' in Clinton's favor. If Boaty McTrucktruck says so, it must be true.

I mean, seriously, you might argue about why Trump's losing, but you have to be seriously deranged to claim that he isn't losing.

Sorry, but I have to agree 100% here.

I will vote Trump, but only because I comprehend how bad Hillary really is.

That being said- as much as I don't want Hillary to win (to the point im considering moving out of the US) there's NO way Trump will win.


Clinton spent the last 2 years prepping for this election. She has long standing relationships with senior staff at every major publishing house in the country, both digital and paper back.

It doesn't matter how much money Trump has. Even if money wasn't finite - time is. The RNC simply does not have the resources to contend. Short of the FBI pressing charges - which wouldn't happen even if she shot someone in central park in broad daylight - there's no way she's going to lose.

[Breccia]

Might as well call October the 25 days of Trumpmas, as every day is an october surprise. Now there are beauty contestants claiming that he would walk into the dressing rooms to see them naked and they would hurredly snatch up things to cover themselves with, including the Ms. Teen Pagent where contestants could be as young as 15.

God DAMMIT it is getting more and more difficult to say "Trump doesn't find children sexually attractive". The one thing! The ONE thing I defend him for!

Just as importantly, they're choosing not to. They have more important things on their mind...535 of them, to be precise.

nah, there's no choice to be had. It's not an option and never was.

I heard she and Obama drank the blood of Osama to absorb his power. I forget who said it, but lots of people.

[Kujako]

These are the actions of a crazy person. Don't vote for Hillary. I 100% understand that. But there is nothing wrong with her that isn't worse with him.

[Varvara Spiros Gelashvili]

Trump is going to win, believe me, trump is going to win... so bigly.

I fixed it.

They have three methods of winning.

Brexit but that race was actually close and within a margin of error. There are more Democrats than Republicans in the United States and even polling confirms that fact.

Trump pulling could pull a Reagan but he and Hillary are both unlike. I mean Hillary holds a 10 point lead in likableness but Trump is even more hated.

Wikileaks actually delivers but Hillary has weathered all the previous leaks. It also doesn't help that Trump gets hurt by them even more than her and he's had far less leaks.

You factor all that shit in and a trump win seems unlike, I won't take it off the table but delusion is a bad thing.

Allow me to correct my reference about walking into dressing rooms, it was not on the Billy Bush pleasure boat, it was in a Stern interview. A few days ago CNN had over 2 dozen audio bits of things he said that were indecent on Howard Stern, and one of them was,

"I'll go backstafe before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else, And you know, no men anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I am inspecting it. You see these incredible looking women. And so I sory of get away with things like that."

Okay, see, now that is a flat-out admission of top tier sleazeball behavior. 'I sort of get away with things like that' means 'I can look at undressed women against their will and they can't stop me'.

[Breccia]

Indeed. If Brexit taught us only one thing, it's that assuming your side will win and skipping voting is a really fucking dumb idea.

The connection between Trump, WikiLeaks, and Putin at this point is so strong that Clinton could just say "these are forgeries" and flat-out deny everything. Unlike Trump's taxes, there's nothing she could realistically volunteer to hold the two side-by-side, but taking the word of a thief on Putin's payroll at face value is still not something the average American is ready to accept. Especially if even a single one has been proven false, which damages the credibility of all the others. But...it hardly seems necessary. Snippets taken from larger items and claimed to be in context, scattered back-and-forths from aides nobody has heard of, speeches in which Clinton says some common sense things...a lot of the WikiLeaks stuff has been pretty tame, and Trump is tanking. If there's good stuff in the arsenal, he seems to be holding onto it for a good long time. Maybe he's waiting till later, but while he waits, Trump does stupid shit like quoting Sputnik news and damages his campaign further.

And Clinton ads with Trump speaking his own words, in context, continue to drop like motherfucking hammers while Trump cuts back his ad budget in swing states because...uh...hmm...I got nothing.

It's not over yet. But if there's anything left in Trump's war chest, he's got precious little time left to dig it out and use it. Right now, it seems he's fighting the GOP leadership more than Clinton, blaming her for her lack of policy changes while she was First Lady, and trying the "Clinton is sick" ad again. He's playing to his base. He has his base. That's not enough. And where the hell are Cruz and Christie?

Okay, see, now that is a flat-out admission of top tier sleazeball behavior. 'I sort of get away with things like that' means 'I can look at undressed women against their will and they can't stop me'.

Sigh...at 15, they're not women.

Fucking Trump. I gave you a lifeline! WHY

[Felya]

Yeah. All those people laughing on the plane were laughing at a shadow

Your evidance is that people were laughing? :l

There is a lot of sleezeball things he says in those audio files.

"I can do whatever I want and nobody can do anything about it." has sort of been the theme of this election.

Well, to be fair, that quote doesn't specify which pageant, and he does say 'women'. On something as serious as this, I'm willing - tentatively - to give him the benefit of the doubt until further evidence is provided.

Where are you seeing that he's even remotely close?

And in even more hysterical news, the "successful businessman who should run the country" lost another casino, today:

Interesting, the article goes into detail as to what a great employer he was - or at least how good it was to work at the Trump Taj. Gotta say I'm surprised.

I mean in Utah, not country-wide.

Excuse me, I have to go vomit now.

And a U.N. official, namely the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, just called Trump "dangerous".

“When you fan resentment and seek as a political leader to pin blame on a specific community for deeper problems, real problems, this is highly regrettable,” Mr. al-Hussein said. “There are very real fears that are being stoked and exploited, and this is the point that I was trying to make.”

But maybe it's just because he's a Muslim, right? I mean, it's not like he, I dunno, speaks up against genocide or ooooooh right, he did.

[Truculentt]

These are the actions of a crazy person. Don't vote for Hillary. I 100% understand that. But there is nothing wrong with her that isn't worse with him.

Oh yes, there's a lot worse. All the talk around this election so far has been similar to reality tv drama. "trump said mean things. he's an asshole."

No one's talking about problems that effect regular people in any real way. Think back over the last 10 years...

- The financial crisis? Was anyone prosecuted? No.

- The NSA leaks? Was anyone prosecuted? No. Our government is admittedly conducting illegal surveillance.The focus was on prosecuting Snowden, who exposed the illegal program instead.

- Bradly manning? Was anyone prosecuted? No. Guy exposes OUR government of some really horrible stuff. What does he get? thrown in a black room and tortured for the rest of his life.

- Clinton emails? Has anyone been prosecuted? No. She's been out-right caught in felonies. (like this - https://twitter.com/Powerwave20/stat...84524658737152). FBI refused to press charges. Her IT guy gave the finger to his congressional summons.

Hell.. put crime aside - there are emails talking about how the Hillary camp was (and still is) working with the media to intentionally drive racist and sexist tension, to rally minority voters. Now, let THAT sink in for a minute. a few weeks ago we damn near had race wars break out in some states. These are the kind of manipulative people that are supposedly WORSE than Trump?

I could probably list 30 additional items above, but the point is simple - our leaders in government are displaying an increasing disregard for it's own accountability. That kind of disregard, gone unchecked, is HIGHLY dangerous.

and now we're in the midst of an election that's managed to totally side step the discussions around any meaningful topic, with the main stream media pushing out Stalin levels of propaganda (from all sides of the fence) and the people are for the most part completely ignorant to how meticulously the entire event has been orchestrated.

I dont LIKE Trump the way I like peanut butter, but he was the only non-establishment option. Now our government is going to continue to get worse.
