Does this guy event want to be president?

[IGotWorms 3,309]

Donald J. Trump belittled the parents of a slain Muslim soldier who had strongly denounced Mr. Trump during the Democratic National Convention, saying that the soldiers father had delivered the entire speech because his mother was not allowed to speak.

 

Mr. Trumps comments, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that will air on Sunday, drew quick and widespread condemnation and amplified calls for Republican leaders to distance themselves from their presidential nominee. With his implication that the soldiers mother had not spoken because of female subservience expected in some traditional strains of Islam, his comments also inflamed his hostilities with American Muslims.

 

Khizr Khan, the soldiers father, lashed out at Mr. Trump in an interview on Saturday, saying his wife had not spoken at the convention in Philadelphia because it was too painful for her to talk about her sons death.

 

Mr. Trump, he said, is devoid of feeling the pain of a mother who has sacrificed her son.

 

Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, a rival of Mr. Trumps in the Republican primaries who has refused to endorse him, castigated him on Twitter. Theres only one way to talk about Gold Star parents: with honor and respect, he wrote, using the term for surviving family members of those who died in war. Capt. Khan is a hero. Together, we should pray for his family.

Like moths to a light another thread on trump. That guy owns all the real estate in your heads. It's actually really funny.

[drobeski 3,061]

Worms ..did this really need another thread ?

So let me get this straight: the guy is destroying his own reputation, chance for the presidency, and an entire national political party... just to troll me?

 

And I'm supposed to be the idiot in this scenario?

You're not supposed to be but by God you're doing a great job of it.

 

I'm kidding but seriously. Hillary is a complete train wreck too but you don't see folks starting threads on every single dumbass word she says.

 

I agree he's done some things in the last few days where I'm like Jesus dude just stop talking and she will fall on her face.

[Brad GLuckman 518]

Im dying to know what this guy would have to say for his supporters to say "enough" and stop supporting him.

Hillary is terrible but in the conventional sense. Trump, it's like he's trying to defy our concept of what terrible can be

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

This is the best the Republican party could roll out. Unbelievably pathetic

[IGotWorms 3,309]

Apparently nothing. Maybe it's all some performance art piece?

Nothing personal towards you Brad but every time I see this stuff I think of the flip side. What cheating and lying can Hillary get caught red-handed doing before lefties don't vote for her?

 

Neither side is going to budge. We are seriously talking about a few hundred thousand votes across the country that will decide things.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Why was this guy Khan speaking in the first place? Is he the only one that lost a son in that stupid fockin war Hillary voted to send him to? In 2004? Why haven't we heard from this guy until now? And we have had fighting men win the Medal of Honor, where were they, or their loved ones? Politicizing the death of a soldier. These people have zero shame.

Zero. They all loved his line about Trump never sacrificing anything. I'm fairly confident Hillary and Bill did not enlist either. What did they sacrifice?

 

What a BS show he was. Just happened to have a pocket constitution. Sure.

[cbfalcon 824]

In the article, we also learn that Trump is considering not participating in the Presidential debates, because he doesn't like the scheduling.

 

Lol.

 

If that happens, do his supporters here still have his back? Haha. He is brilliantly entertaining.

I agree with you, man. Hillary is corrupt and cares nothing about the American people. She cares only about her legacy and wealth.

 

The difference is that she is sane. Yes, shes an awful human being, but she at least knows how to at least act professional. I cant say the same about Trump. He is dangerous.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Obama votes against the Iraq war, and it's an attribute, and he campaigns on it. Hillary votes for it, nothing, no big deal. Hypocrites of the highest order. Mr. Kahn, sorry for your loss and thank you. But you got used because of your religion, which isn't supposed to matter.

Agree that Khan was used, but was Trumps response not awful?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

No. No angels here, and it was a cheap shot trotting out those people. Imagine the outcry, if at the GOP convention, they had brought out the survivors or the relatives of those that were killed by Nadal at Ft. Hood? Yeah, the fockin world would have exploded. They exploit people,'which is what they do, and he's just supposed to take it? Maybe they shouldn't exploit people.

You didnt answer my question.

[IGotWorms 3,309]

It's eight years later. Thirteen years after said vote.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

You didnt answer my question.

What did he say? His mother didn't speak? She didn't. I didnt pay any real attention to this low class crap. Ok, read it. He said Kahn looked like a nice guy too and that it looked scripted. It was. Just because the media hypes it up and calls it lashing out. He didn't sound too lashing tome. Nonsense

[IGotWorms 3,309]

I mean I *still* hold it against Hilary that she voted for the Iraq war but eventually it loses its luster a bit. That was a long time ago. Fock when she voted for that war I was still smoking dope, eating mushrooms and working at a sh-t job for ten bucks an hour. No career, no wife, no kids... things focking change.

So you think it was a good response, correct?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Then don't send out the parents of a guy who died in 2004

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

So you think it was a good response, correct?

Nope. But I dont think it was some over the top disrespectful response either. I think using this guy and his wife is much, much worse

[IGotWorms 3,309]

So you think it was a good response, correct?

RP is busy deflecting because even his dim little mind can comprehend that this isn't a battle you want to fight head on.

 

Which is what amazes me about Trump supporters. I mean, I get it, basically everyone ends up at that point at one time or another where you're trying to defend the indefensible. But with literally every word that comes out of the guy's mouth? Give it up at some point.

Exactly. And im starting to think that point doesnt exist. Trump was right on one thing. He could shoot someone on fifth ave and not lose his voters.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Wow. I said it wasn't a good response. And it depends on who he shot

[Brad GLuckman 518]

Wow. I said it wasn't a good response. And it depends on who he shot

My point isnt that his supporters will never admit he says crazy things.

My point is that there is nothing he can say or do to prevent them from supporting him.

Oh, look at what a good little pooch you are, dismissing her vote because you were a stoner. Roll over for your treat, Fido. And I bet you were on this very website in 08 killing her for that vote when she ran against Obama. Deflect that. Woof woof.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

I've called him an A-hole more than once. I've brought up his bombast numerous times. If you want to join the herd and not actually read what is said, fine. But just keep in mind who you are mimicking.

Oh, so you dont support Trump? Please allow me to offer my apologies.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Oh, so you dont support Trump? Please allow me to offer my apologies.

Right now I do. I hope that some dirt comes out on either one of these two, and one has to drop out and I can vote for their replacement. That is my fondest wish as far as 2016 potus election goes.

So if that dirt doesnt come...there is no line Trump can cross to make him lose your vote?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Of course there is. But Hillary already crossed it, cumuativley. A life of dishonesty, corruption and incompetence. And a lot of her ideas really suck

[Brad GLuckman 518]

im curious where that line is

[IGotWorms 3,309]

im curious where that line is

As a lifelong Democrat, RP has no line vis a vis his blind loyalty to the Republican ticket.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

im curious where that line is

Yeah, like that's answerable. I bet you think that somehow reinforces your conclusion

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

As a lifelong Democrat, RP has no line vis a vis his blind loyalty to the Republican ticket.

Been owning you since the switch. More than before. How's that treason thing coming along? Oh, nobody is talking about that silly shite anymore? Like I said.

[drobeski 3,061]

So if that dirt doesnt come...there is no line Trump can cross to make him lose your vote?

what's your line with Hillary ?

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,569]

You know Hillary belittled a whole group of disabled kids in Arkansas right? And khan shouldn't have been on stage more pandering. That's all they do
