Sho Nuff 720 Posted March 3, 2016 Fock off. The man is a born and raised American citizen. He has as much right to run his mouth and vote as anyone. Hell, since he served in the armed forces in a combat theatre, he has more right than most. Yes...he has that right...and we have the right to bash him for voting for a guy he admits is probably worse for the country than someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're all antsy because Trump is consolidating his grip on the nomination and I'm happy about it and you're not. In fact, I've said many times that Kasich is the only good option but his candidacy is hanging by a string. Of the rest, Trump is merely the least bad. I sincerely prefer Trump to Hillary, Sanders, Cruz, and especially Rubio. I don't think he's worse than anyone but Kasich. I probably get off the Trump bandwagon if Bloomberg runs.

Ive heard it from multiple people though. They are in on Trump because he may blow up the GOP. And many admit he might suck as a president. I don't think you are in this next group...but Id bet about 85% of those same people who want to blow it up...will still vote straight GOP ticket and incumbents in Congress...not really blowing anything up. I think he is worse than all except Hillary...they are equally as terrible. Edit...and yup...here you go. GOP incumbents do just fine in primaries. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/super-tuesday-2016-house-senate-gop-incumbents-survive-primaries/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoytdwow 202 Posted March 3, 2016 It bears repeating that Trump is not even close to wrapping up the nomination. The media has the anointing oil out, but it's very premature. He has exactly 93 more delegates than Rubio and Cruz right now, and barely a quarter of the 1237 needed to secure the nomination outright. He is winning by very thin margins and far more people are not voting for him than are. Cruz and Rubio (and Kasich, to a lesser degree) would be fools to exit now, and maybe at all. If they keep splitting delegates, Trump may never get the number he needs for an outright victory, and there will have to be negotiations at the convention.

jerryskids 6,825 Posted March 3, 2016 I explained to you how it'll be paid for, and you scurried away.I don't like free college for several reasons. One, it encourages kids to attend who should pursue other careers like trades, because free words. Two, you value things when you have some skin in the game (which is why I think everyone should pay some taxes no matter how little). Three, there is no incentive for the colleges to contain costs. Four, if cost controls are put in to address #3, does every school become the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoytdwow 202 Posted March 4, 2016 Who couldn't afford it? Between grants and loans anyone can go today. I know for a fact that MIT will not let finances stop an admit from attending. MIT is not a good example to use when talking about college. They have like a 30% acceptance rate, and have such a big endowment that they can offer everyone scholarships, especially those who have financial need. Ditto Harvard, etc. they get to decide who attends. Most schools cant do that, and have to make the freshman class each year, often without offering any need based scholarships at all, so many kids are borrowing the full cost. I'm not saying I'm for free college, I'm not. But tuition has risen something like 200% in the last 20 years because there aren't really any other options ... Colleges have kids by the balls, and a lot of them shouldn't even be there in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,790 Posted March 4, 2016 This whole thing remind me of the last book. His fans are so deeply entrenched in their own self-worth regarding their connection to Bush and now drunk that they can't admit the most basic laws Without thinking that it somehow is a massive destruction of their own character. I mean, how many times do I have to quote Trump saying that he is the least litigious person in the world, it's amazing. That's a quote. And even his own f****** wife wouldn't support that. It is okay to admit that your guy is flawed like everyone else, but in this zero-sum world we seem to exist in, That is absolutely a mathema. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,148 Posted March 5, 2016 If BLS is to win his bet, he's gonna need a lot of White Males voting for Trump. http://Michael Kors Women's MK5774 Parker Gold-Tone and White Watch If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he will be testing the limits of a strategy that has long haunted the Republican Party. Since the civil rights era, the Republicans have relied heavily upon white male voters in order to overcome a disadvantage among minorities and some subsets of women. Mathematically, that was an easier strategy a half-century ago, when white men dominated the electorate. But as the GOP failed to broaden its coalition and the demographics of America have shifted dramatically, an ever-greater percentage of white men has been required to secure a GOP victory. The math suggests Trump would need a whopping 70% of white men to vote for him. That’s more than Republicans have ever won before – more than the GOP won in the landslide victories of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and far more than they won even during the racially polarized elections of Barack Obama. Of course, the argument often made by Trump’s followers is that he will win in November because he will bring so many disengaged Americans to the polls. But they’re talking about disengaged white voters, mostly mostly men— and unfortunately for him, the turnout rate for white men is already relatively high.

KSB2424 3,148 Posted March 7, 2016 Strongly negative views of Trump have intensified over the past seven months, as the New York billionaire has repeatedly pressed his call to build a wall along the length of the U.S.-Mexico border and seek to deport undocumented immigrants currently residing in the country. Today, 8 in 10 Hispanic voters have an unfavorable view of Trump. That includes more than 7 in 10 who have a “very unfavorable” impression of him, which is more than double the percentage of any other major candidate. Should Trump become the Republican nominee, his current low standing among Hispanic voters could jeopardize the party’s hopes of winning the general election in November. In current matchups with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, Trump scores worse among Hispanics than any of the three other leading Republican candidates — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. The Post-Univision survey tested those four GOP candidates against Clinton and against Sanders. While all trail badly among Hispanics at this point, Trump does the worst — losing the Hispanic vote to Clinton by 73 to 16 percent. That 57-point gap is little changed from a 54-point deficit recorded last June, but is significantly wider than the 44-point margin by which former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost Hispanics four years ago and bigger than in any presidential exit poll since the 1970s. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2016/02/25/poll-trumps-negatives-among-hispanics-rise-worst-in-gop-field/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
