alpha_destroy posted:Holy poo poo, I forgot that too. The gently caress was that about? Moving the embassy to Jerusalem legitimizes Israel's annexation, which even the United States has refused to recognize up to this point. It may also bring about the Apocalypse of Revelations for cool points.

Absurd Alhazred posted:He's also never going to do this, because on the off chance the American people choose a wet fart to waft over the Oval Office, he will be immediately inundated with State and Defense Department personnel telling him what a stupid, stupid idea that is, and he'll be forced to back down, much like every President before him. I'm sure the liberal media will call out President Ted Cruz for this forgotten promise.

chitoryu12 posted:Better than answering a question with "You know why the current president isn't good at what you asked about?" or opening with "Actually let's talk about the last question you asked instead." I was being serious. It was a bold answer and hearing it get applause at a Republican convention made me feel a little bit better about living on this planet.

So I've kind of always wondered how people like Sylvio Berlusconi get into and stay in office. I think this election season has given me more insight.

chitoryu12 posted:Trump was the only guy who seemed sincere at all, purely because he openly admitted to not preparing for the debate and has literally no filter whatsoever. He's about as awful as everyone else on the floor that night (or potentially worse), but he's the kind of guy who will only lie when he's in the process of screwing you over and then blatantly admits to it after he's gotten what he wanted and taunts you to do something about it. Like when confronted about bankruptcy and taking advantage of business laws in the debate, his response was "Yeah, I took advantage of it! Everyone else does too! Also bankruptcy doesn't count as a failure if it's only one of your businesses and not you personally." It's pretty cool to me that Trump is the only candidate I've ever seen say "yeah, I hosed over a bunch of banks for billions of dollars, you wanna fight about it?", the wet dream of like 95% of D&D's active posters, and they just go on repeating hilarious Gawker catchphrases at each other.

Don't forget that Trump is much more liberal than every republican candidate up there, especially on social issues, used to be a democrat, and even supported a single payer system one time and still talks about doing something for people who can't afford it, and doesn't want to cut social security and medicare unlike every other candidate, against Iraq, and yet goons still think he's to the right of Ted loving Cruz.

We don't think he's to the right of Cruz. The Republican Base does. That's what is so confusing about this.

Remember when Megyn Kelly took him to the woodshed about being lovely toward women and he was just like "BAH gently caress THE PC NAZIS" and the crowd cheered despite booing his rear end like one minute earlier because he wouldn't pledge not to run as an indy if he lost the nomination?

The republican base seems to think the same thing about the dems going by that joke that got the applause My favorite moment was when Trump talked about defrauding the government and banks of huge sums of money and followed up his ramblings with "...and thats why you need me to solve the debt crisis  "

Okay, sure, that was hyperbolic of me, but the dude used an example of when he abused the financial system (imo) and failed to keep his business afloat to jump off of and say that he can fix our debt. That's ludicrous.

Sports team mentality; Republicans vote for who they want- none of this "strategic voting" or "electability" bullshit. It may annoy straight-ticket Republican voters that he's threatening third-party, but it's completely secondary to their opinion of Trump's character. And what they want is a racist, sexist (I'd use dog-whistle terms, but I'm just too tired), self-confident,  "self-made" leader; rich enough to ignore the lobbyists and cronyism that has so obviously ruined and expanded government to the tax-hoovering, spendthrift debt-monster it is today. Trump doesn't backpedal like Jeb! or "punt" on hot-button questions like Walker. There's no indecision; he's pure double down. And if he goes too far like he did on Twitter a few times? He takes care of it, quietly. No retraction or apology; it just disappears. Republicans can smell fear (bi-partisanship and empathy for poors smells similar to them). They want leaders, not chicken-shits.
