OT. The Donald Trump (and Politics) Momentum Thread

Hillary is going to get slaughtered. She keeps losing to Bernie and her nose keeps growing every day. She lost in W. Virginia, a state that she beat Obama in handily in 2008, and a third of the Democrats who voted there said that they'll be voting for Trump. She is toast.

You know what guarantees Trump the victory? Picking Sanders as his VP after Hillary wins the nomination.

Sanders wouldn't run with Trump in a million years. There are a few overlaps but many irreconcilable gaps. It would be more likely to see him run as Hillary's VP.

I think Donald Trump’s views on immigration and his slurring of the Latino community is not something that should be going on in the year 2015, and it’s to me an embarrassment for our country.

Here’s the difference. I am not a billionaire. My family doesn’t have a whole lot of people. We are raising our campaign contributions from 350,000 people who are contributing on average Chuck, $31.20 apiece. That’s our response to out to working class people, to go out to the middle-class people and gain support. I think that’s a little bit different approach than Donald Trump’s.

"Well, that’s -- well, the answer is yes and no," Sanders responded. "Yes, we do agree on a number of issues, and by the way, on her worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and President than the Republican candidate on his best day."

And from two days ago:

Our message to the Democratic delegates who will be assembling in Philadelphia is while we may have many disagreements with Secretary Clinton, there is one area where we agree, and that is we must defeat Donald Trump

Bernie can't/won't turn heel on this. It's where he stands.

Bernie's not a man of the people like Trump who's willing to work with everyone.

Too caught up in the class warfare, mistake of every Marx fanatic. Starts to resemble religion fast. The world is a rainbow, you have to see every colour.

Then there was the big meeting between Trump and Paul Ryan in Washington today. Wonder how that went?

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what is being hailed as a productive closed-door meeting between two leaders of the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump promised House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday that he would try to sound slightly less like the former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler.

Speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol after the meeting, the presumptive G.O.P. nominee said that Ryan had expressed concern that so many of the billionaire’s public utterances were reminiscent of the Third Reich.

“Paul basically said, ‘Can you help me out here? Can you not sound like Hitler all the time?’” Trump said. “And I was like, ‘Paul, I can absolutely do that for you.’”

As an example, Trump said, “Instead of saying I am going to round up people based on their religion, I’ll say that’s just a suggestion. Just like that, I’m fifty per cent less Hitlerish.”

Trump acknowledged that the challenge for him will be to sound somewhat less like Hitler to please congressional Republicans while still sounding enough like Hitler to avoid alienating his key constituencies of Nazis and white supremacists.

“Figuring out just how much like Hitler I’m going to be at any given time is the kind of thing I’ve always been fantastic at,” he said.

This was Borowitz. But the stuff his butler said, that was all (horrifyingly) real.

This is why some of ya'll shouldn't be taken seriously on politics. Without fail it seems that your last resort messengers tend to be goofy jesters who only have a voice in politics because they are goofy jesters, i.e. bias trolls who cherry pick for laughs and pass them off as fact. Seth Myers, in fact anyone having to do with SNL and the Daily Show should never be included as having relevance to anything dealing with politics. Maybe they're funny (which Seth Myers couldn't even do here) but posting them to sway opinion is the height of nonintellectual.

Trump is closing in and he hasn't even gotten started. Once he unleashes on Hilary and all her flaws/scandals, it's a wrap. He will destroy Clinton with quite ease.

It will be a glorious day when Donald Trump wins the 2016 US presidency. Back to the good old days and no more foolish, unintelligent liberal agendas of clowns like Obama and Clinton. I feel so sorry for liberals. Not sure how they're going to handle such a crushing defeat.

Yup, Hilary is going to get crushed so bad that she's putting red states like Georgia, North Carolina and Utah in play. Trump has absolutely no baggage at all to go after as well. Plus his favorables are at an all time high with Hispanics, women, and young people. But who needs them when all he needs is the white male vote locked up? Oh and not to mention recent CNN polling that shows more crossover GOP voters going for Hilary, than crossover dems voting for Trump. Yup, it's going to be a blood bath.

Only person on Earth worse than Trump for president is Mark Cuban. 2nd to last and last. I'd sooner vote for Jesse Helms in his prime.

He can't win. He is losing white women by a lot, a group that goes GOP usually. Women are the majority overall. He will lose minorities badly. So he has to win white men in unprecedented numbers. Yet some white men also hate him. She is shaky yeah but he's a room service free gourmet meal for her.

I sure hope so. You know things are messed up when a compulsive liar/cold-hearted murderer is a presidential candidate.
