Hillary can argue the pros and cons of every issue; she's a policy wonk at heart. Drumpf barely understands the implications of the side he's momentarily adopted. That's why when he starts taking about subjects like abortion, he digs himself a bigger hole than he was in before he started.

Drumpf is an emotional idiot, an intellectual idiot, and the quintessential American idiot. He just lucky that he's had great lawyers.


Let´s not go overboard here, Trump is intelligent, he is only acting this way because he knows it will get him elected. The reason he shoots himself in the foot when he goes unscripted is because he´s not a politician. Don´t get me wrong despite the fact he is intelligent he is also a POS that only wants to get elected to strengthen his legacy and hand out tax breaks to his wealthy network. He has a bunch of neckbeards believing he will make America great again though.

Except it won't get him elected. He was on the ropes since the last debate. Politically, there's no coming back from this in 3 weeks. He's basically done now, unless something major comes out about Hillary. She has to be dragged down, because there is no elevating him.

It may be a moot point either way, since a lot of people will have already voted in the next 2 weeks.


You know I was worried he might get elected because of the events after 9/11, Clinton was looking unfit to be the next president (sickly), Trump turned down the crazy, the polls showed he was on an upwards momentum until the debate. Then after the debate which he looked unhinged he got hit with the "not paying taxes for 20 years", and then finally "grab her by the ..." I think he´s finished now unless Clinton does something stupid.

The neckbeards will vote Trump no matter what, but those on the fence will find it hard to stomach voting for a guy like Trump no matter how bad Clinton might be.

:crazy: I can't really understand all these people... They point out every flaw possible of an opponent, but are oblivious to the glaring problems of their own candidate. These people are not necessarily unintelligent, but there is a problem with how they think. You cannot have an intellectual debate with these people. :crazy:

Agreed. There are the 35-40% of this country who are his base and would vote for him either way. These people aren't really worth considering when trying to deduce if these scandals will affect his chances.

It is the educated independents and Romney Republicans he will lose, and he absolutely needed them. Couple that with him breaking the Cuba embargo, which is already really hurting him with the Latino population in Florida, and he really has no viable path to 270, unless Hillary does something catastrophic.

Since she's been preparing for the Presidency for 40 years, and Trump hasn't shown the willingness to even prepare for a debate, I think the chances of her royally screwing up are fairly slim.

Isn't it crazy how much a simple conversation can supposedly change the out come of an election which is based on nothing really all that important? I still think what trump said is no big deal compared to leaked classified information and other such things. It shocking, and I agree about how they go about these debates.

This is why Trump's remarks matter, even if his base doesn't care. He is taking down the entire party with him, and the political institution won't let that happen. They are better off cutting the cancer out now.

Some staffers inside the Republican National Committee are rebelling and “defying orders” to continue working for Donald Trump, according to a source familiar with the situation.

"They’re dropping their duties to the campaign," the source told Business Insider. "Turning their attention to Senate/House."

"Folks at the RNC are disgusted," the source said, adding, "Expect RNC [staffers] to start leaving if Reince doesn't act."

I'm so sick of immature people always excusing Trump actions by saying .. "well so and so did this" He is 70 yrs old! He doesn't need elementary ass excuses. Own up to it and make a real apology. Also since we are on the subject of rape and sexual assault before pointing the finger at other people, Truewarrior, please do your research you may find out that Trump has had 1 rape allegation and multiple sexual assault charges brought against him not to mention his rape case against a 13yr old set to start in Dec with witnesses.

It's ok .. you can say that this tape is disgusting and still support your candidate. But lets be very clear. As a woman i'm beyond offended by this. Won't you walk in our shoes and let a man feel like he can do whatever the **** he pleases because of his status. Not to mention he is openly stating that he has no problem cheating on his pregnant wife with other married women. Oh but let me guess, some of you were the same ones that had fake outrage over Derek Fisher

And let's also be clear about this... the way he sounds on this tape is exactly how Jill Harth remembered his sexual assault on her. Go read the transcripts

I guess being racist/racist/misogynistic/xenophobe pales in comparison to supposed crimes that were committed yet didn't meet any legal threshold for an indictment at any level.
All in all he's just another prick with no wall

Ben Carson says that Trump fears more bombshells are coming .. SMH. Of all the outlets, it's access hollywood who has all the dirt on Trump.

BTW, we all talk about how one-sided rich white folks get to have. How they are above the law or use the law to beat down a common man. How they are untouchable and can do batsh.it crazy things or say stuff that's just out there. How they flaunt their money without any guilt and belittle people for working hard.

Donald Trump is exactly like those family from "Revenge". Yes i did watch that show.

The definition of why most people hate rich folks and why simple-minded people in 'Murica feels that rich people equates to smart people. "You must be smart Mr. Trump since you have a lot of money".

Totally different , it not about the word


Yeah and he was obviously exaggerating :lol:. Come on now. Unless you think he actually grabs women by their pussies, ha. He's a rich and famous billionaire my friend. Any NBA player will tell you how easy it is when it comes to women. KP could grab any pussy he wants in NYC lol. Be real. The only people who care about this are people who weren't voting for Trump anyway and just want to act all offended. The Knick RealGM forum of all places wants to get on their high horse, which is cute.

All Hillary has is stupid stuff like this on Trump that he said decades ago. The Miss Universe thing was pathetic too when you figured out how messed up that woman was/is. How she married a cartel drug lord, drove the getaway car in a murder attempt, threatened a judge, lied about Trump causing her eating disorder when she had it years before, and how Trump saved her job after she gained 60 pounds. Yet that was all over the news for weeks, just like this will, while Trump has real crimes and quotes against Hillary that heavily affect(ed) our lives.

BTW... I thought this place wasn't allowing political threads? Shall I start a new one with all of the wikileaks that actually matter? Hmm.

KP is too smart to do that. He just goes the Dm route

The uneducated are the ones who don't care. Well, people who hate Hillary will probably still vote for him as well.

Thing is, she may be dishonest, but Trump is racist, a bigot, narcissistic, bipolar (or has some other issue), egomaniac, and a misogynistic **** who nobody should want to see as POTUS. He'll do only what's good for himself (and the rich) and probably start another war (or use the nuclear codes because of something someone tweeted at him). Its still mind boggling how stupid some people in this country are. I want all of the scoops on Trump to come out.

I don't like Hillary, but Trump is the worst thing to happen to the election in history IMO.

(Trump supporters, don't bother quoting me because I'm not responding.)

Hiliary isn't perfect( she probably would be losing by a lot under normal circumstances), but she sure as hell is better than trump. None of us think that she's perfect. We just know that trump sucks

This might be a stupid question, I dont know. But do you think Trump winning could change Russia's foreign politics? Because as a person living in eastern Europe, I find this concerning.

Everything about Trump potentially being elected is concerning. Downfall of multiple counties, IMO.

Exactly! She's the lesser of two evils. Said that from the beginning (and that the Republicans should have pushed for Bloomberg to run).

The irony of a Bush taking down trump :lol:

Who gropes a woman's pussy, I can see the ass, or even the tits if you're really perverted but the pussy? Also the worse thing about that tape isn't even his vulgar language. It's the fact that he's talking about targeting a married woman, while being married himself while representing the so called party of family values.

That being said, it probably won't hurt him as much as it should. He said a reporter was on her period and slut shamed her in the middle of the primaries and still won those :x. He says so much outrageous stuff that people tend to drown him out.
