Donald Trump Talks Presidential Campaign

[dank69]

... He's probably the most truthful candidate to run in the last 60 years thus far.

I have made a note in my dossier that you are insane. Completely and utterly insane. I had my suspicions before, but all doubt has been removed at this point.

 

[IronWing]

Dang it, he's flaming out too soon. I want Trump to make it to the debates.

 

[HomerJS]

So are Trumps high poll numbers explained by low information or low intelligence voter??

Yes.

New poll has him 2nd in the large republican field. Seems he is just what the current Republican base wants. D:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/01/politics/donald-trump-poll-hillary-clinton-jeb-bush/index.html

"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and businessman Donald Trump top the list of GOP presidential contenders following their back-to-back campaign launches in mid-June, and are the only two Republican candidates holding double-digit support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. "

I really really realllllly wish Trump would declare his running mate now.

The nail biting suspense is killing me.

No, there really is some truth to that.

You can tell he is honestly saying what he thinks.

Whether what he thinks is correct or not is a different story....

But regardless, you won't see him be so PC and trying to go with what the masses think. Just look at Obama - one of the biggest flip floppers of all time along with Clinton signing DOMA. They are puppets willing to dance if the crowd says dance.

You just know he's going to announce someone who he didn't bother to tell beforehand and they're going to be like ".... uh, nope."

The job of a representative government is to represent the people. Obama changing his views to match public opinion is the way things are supposed to work.

How much happier do you think he would be if Obama acted like a dictator and refused to entertain outside opinions? "Yeah, I think his refusal to change his policy in the face of new facts is problematic... but at least he's not a flip-flopper!"

You are supposed to stay in line with what you were ELECTED for.

If you were elected under the premise of people voting for you after you say "I will defend the sanctity of marriage" and then 7 years later say "Gay people deserve their rights too!" then you are FLIP FLOPPING.

I understand what your saying, but you can't change what people voted for you for in the middle of your term. It's like a democrat that was elected to help the middle class and then starts advocating for trickle down.

Lol. This is one of the rare times that I don't have a problem with knee jerking overreaction. Bullshit in macys saying it is "distressed", though. Wankers

Taking bets, what will his next action be:

1. Drops out of the race
2. Apologizes for what he said trying to make amends with what he has lost so far.
3. Continues on like the hard-headed fool he is?

I'll opt for him starting a side negotiation with Chris Christie to be Chris' running mate. The more Trump opens his mouth the more I think those two are alike.

And why not? His rags to riches story of how he pulled himself up from his boot straps in the gutter on nothing but gumption, work ethic and integrity is an inspiration to us Americans all! :'(

 

[werepossum]

How is it not true? How many MS-13 gang members have come over? How many rapists, drug dealers, and violent criminals have come over?

law breakers break the law, news at 10.

While a lot of what he said was true, what is killing him is the bit about "I suppose some of them are good people". Most of the illegal immigrants are good people, they are just poor, unskilled and uneducated, the lowest of pretty low societies. That doesn't make them bad people, just poor people. If one is going to speak about the problems with illegal immigration - and Trump did a fair job there - one must needs also pay homage to most of the immigrants being good people, not merely throw out a bone that it's possible some of them aren't horrible. Even if he doesn't believe it, he should be smart enough to say it if he truly wishes power. (It's entirely possible he isn't seeking political office at all, but is seeking kingmaker status.)

What he said about the trade agreements, Mexico, China's currency manipulation, trading in the middle class, all of it true. He's probably the most truthful candidate to run in the last 60 years thus far.

Boy, that says something about our candidates, and therefore, about us.

Yes.

lol +1

Might be a good time to invest in hair spray stocks. Or maybe spray starch.

More evidence that big business is clearly librul biased.

Effective and repeated use of bankruptcy filings is not gumption, work ethic or integrity and is certainly not inspiring.

I predict that Trump is going to dump his candidacy-maybe even in the next few days- because of the damage his mouth is doing to his beloved business empire. He will then settle back into his familiar role as the loud mouth, no nothing back seat driver and voice his opinions to whatever TV camera is placed before him as to why everyone else but him is dead wrong. Quitting as #2 would be a high water mark.

IMO Trump said this stupid shit for one reason. To get OUT of the candidacy.

You think that Trump said stupid things at his own press conference to announce his candidacy to get out of said candidacy that did not exist prior to his offensive comments? That's some Christopher Nolan shit right there.

He's not that savvy. He's an idiot blowhard. All he did was follow daddy's footsteps.

Yes, yes I do. Hes all ove the news right? Its a win-win!

"I don't care what they say about me, just make sure they spell my name right" is the motto of just about every political grifter, ever.

 

[LegendKiller]

Not exactly the most truthful
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
But yeah he does call out China well.

Ohh gawd no, he was wrong on a couple statements. My statement was relative, compared to the other losers running he has been far more truthful.

Most of those statements were some hyperbole, mainly founded in truth. As far as the statements.

1. The number fluctuates, seems like it is down from the highs.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

2. The nuclear arsenal is old - wasn't there recently some work to modernize it?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/22/us/us-ramping-up-major-renewal-in-nuclear-arms.html?_r=0

3. US Car manufacturers have a very difficult time in Japan and most manufacturers are outright ripped off in China. Both of these countries engage in unilateral trade.

4. If you stripped out marginally attached workers, part time who want full time, and discouraged workers, added back in those who have fallen out of the workforce, his number might not be that far off.

5. No idea where he was going here.


His statements on Latinos are quite accurate. The FBI crime database doesn't strip out Latinos but puts them into whites. Why?

If you strip out Latinos from Chicago crime stats you get Whites only committing 10% of murders as opposed to 26%. You also get stuff like MS-13, other drug runners, gangs, rapists (thousands deported out of texas).

Fuck, we had this guy deported 9 times.

http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/05/illegal-alien-rapist-deported-9-times/

But I guess the US doesn't have enough legal, domestic, drug runners, gang members, and rapists, so we need to import more.

But hey, let's just ignore his point that the border needs to be closed, now, and let's send people who come here *ILLEGALLY* back to where they came from.

But no, the pussified liberal PC fucksticks want to keep them all here.
