OT. The Donald Trump (and Politics) Momentum Thread

[thebuzzardman]

It would be very interesting how an anti-Wall Street position goes over in a New York debate.

trust fund babies like to think they are radical so you never know

True; certain parts of Brooklyn were overrun with Trustifarians at one point. Not sure if it's still like that.

I think that just shows the guy with the hateful message provokes hateful responses tbh. The whole "social experiment" thing has been flipped a few ways, mostly corny

I know you're an intelligent human being, so I won't explain this to you like I would expect to have to for a child.

The guy got attacked for holding a Trump sign. If anyone's a child, it's that dude with a hoodie.

The dude in the hoodie is childish for sure; but the point is about the symbolic meaning behind the sign (aka Trump's message). The hoodie dude is acting like a moron, but it's not the word Trump that he's mad about, it's Trump's words.

This is a common problem with social justice warriors; they think words equate violence so they get it in their arrogant heads that it's their right to respond with violence.

Looks like he may lose Wisconsin. Appears to be behind.

If the Marquette poll turns out to be accurate, Trump's likelihood of avoiding a contested convention decline greatly I believe. Pretty sure the poll suggests he might not get any delegates there.

It's a common problem with tribalism period. Trump supporters are throwing punches, spitting on people and pepper spraying teens. Then Bernie supporters claim the high road while a bunch of them do the same nonsense. Us against them descends to that mess with and then both sides try to claim a moral authority. It's damned embarrassing.

I think Trump would be off target to get a majority of the delegates, perhaps even if he wins New York and California.

Cruz came off well last night. He is improving as a candidate, whether one agrees with him or not.

[Phish Tank]

Cruz winning Wisconsin just increases the likelihood of a contested convention, which is the best thing that could happen for the Republican Party. Sadly enough, the GOP may need someone like Ted Cruz, an "outsider" and most hated man in the Senate, to actually bring in some of those moderate voters that are now starting to oppose Trump.

Trump just needs to shut up and hire a PR firm to not only handle all his tweets/instagram posts/facebook/etc., but to basically tell him what to say too. Just like the Knicks Media Policy -> hey Supranowitz, why not work for Trump? The Knicks media policy basically shuts everyone up, so it might just help Trump a wee bit. Someone gotta delete Twitter off his phone.

from the article:

Right now, he has 25 to 30 percent of the vote in polls among the roughly 25 percent of Americans who identify as Republican. (That’s something like 6 to 8 percent of the electorate overall, or about the same share of people who think the Apollo moon landings were faked.)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

simple version of why trump will never be president. his support only runs deep with disturbed people. his support is shallow with any other category. and he craps on women almost daily and that cant be helping either

this is why myself and another poster said LOL at the idea of trump having any kind of majority in the primaries or a general election. oh no he doesnt

Your statements do not an argument make.

Hopefully Trump has no shot at the big job, but America ain't out of it yet. We still need Clinton to not get tossed in jail at the wrong time.

i was quoting nate silver who is simply saying 25% of 25% is about 6% which is what trumps base represents so far. if you think that will swell to 50%+ in a general election then all im saying is keep dreaming. any hatred for hilary is a drop in the bucket for how hated trump now is

common sense indicates Trump should have been sent packing about 6 months ago. I am not going to start relying on things like that now. There are several pools of voters who may vote for Republican Candidate Trump: Loyal Republicans, democrat haters, Trump supporters (which may make up the 6% you mentioned, but he also has independents in his group, non-registered Republicans, non-reg Dems and Dems in his supporters, albeit to varying degrees).

I will not feel safe from a Dictator Trump regime until someone else officially wins.
