Trump is so good, most supporters don't even feel the need to defend him. He's just crushing the main stream media every single time on his own.

It's like being a fan of the mid-90's Chicago Bulls, sure there are plenty of detractors, but none of them matter.

But supporting Bernie Sanders must be like rooting for the mid-90's Clippers. He gets pushed around by two black chicks, finds out the black community won't support him anyway, then he refuses to attack Hillary even though she backstabs him every chance she gets, now his campaign is dead and he's a week or two from dropping out. I really feel bad for him and his supporters. I know you guys care deeply about your candidate, but if he really cared about you he'd find the courage to stand up to the Goldman Sachs approved challenger.

Bernie Sanders is the biggest wimp I've seen on the national stage in a long time and I just had to endure a year of Jeb! Bush.

Bernie isn't going to stand up to anything, he just doesn't have the killer instinct to deal with someone like Hillary.

People talk up his angry speeches but he never ever comes across as being truly angry; he's more full of peevishness than righteous fury. Bernie is a good, empathetic man who is simply not equipped to defeat a narcissistic sociopath with the level of backing Hillary has.

David slew Goliath with a loving headshot, he didn't try to be nice and play friends with the monster.

There is slight reason behind his stance. Journalists love to walk up a politician and go "hey this guy just said so and so about you, what do you think about THAT?!", and the only reasonable reply to such antics is to say "I don't know the guy, don't know what he said, haven't researched the topic, don't know if it's even true that he said so - no comments".

The whole affair shows a press corps desperate for a new angle, it's pathetic. Trump is horrible for a variety of reasons, but the media are equally horrible in their effort to maintain the moral high ground while depending on clickbait. gently caress them both.

Of course, the more you engage with that question, the more your name becomes associated with that issue. Doesn't matter if you reject or endorse it, people will remember the association and that in itself is negative. This is basically "let's call him a pigfucker" #455.

Well, has Trump ever said he wasn't a pig fucker?

I mean, inquiring minds want to know.


Edit: Also loving lol at anyone that thinks that the guy who makes a blanket statement about mexican immigrants being rapists, takes an amount of time larger than five seconds to say "No, they're hosed up and that's wrong." when people start using his name and appearances to beat on minorities, actually knew David Duke (Back in 2000 he made statements about him. And Duke himself had just previously said that Trump's campaign needed volunteers too.) and lied about it, and said he had to examine the KKK before making a remark about it after making blanket statements about muslims and mexicans isn't pandering to some pretty racist segments of the population.

Like, you're either in denial about his political strategies during the primary or just an out and out loving liar. Appealing to racist shitheads is a significant portion of his entire campaign strategy and will be until he hits the general and does an about face once those people have outlasted their usefulness to him.

That's great. The time to do it is during the interview where most of his voters will be actually looking at him if he didn't want to look like a much more canny (but equally slimy) version of Cruz.

I mean, seriously. That's sleazy politics 101. If you want to manipulate low information voters into liking you you say what they want to hear so long as they don't go digging around the internet looking for in depth data on your comments.

So now everyone that wants to call him a racist that's read up on him gets to gesticulate wildly at his remarks while the Trumpeteers get to :smug: about how awesome they think he is, low info racist shitheads think he's "one of theirs" for giving a (quickly recanted) wink and a nudge their way, and he has a solid out/a way to berate the media when someone calls him on his behavior in the future.

And he has an out not just for calling him on deceptively manipulating low information voters too. He can defend himself as having recanted his remarks while making it seem like the media are being malicious Trump hating bullies when he's on the national stage and keep saying poo poo like that in more private rallies to keep the attention of people that eat that poo poo up.


Edit: And the funniest thing is, he's still the best candidate the Republicans can hope to field this election. I mean, who do you think they're going to vote for when push comes to shove? A narcissistic con man with no political experience, a new version of Romney-bot fresh out of the factory with the congeniality setting turned way up and a few new glitches, the token black guy (HAHAHAHAHA no) who's just there to grift some cash off of rubes and sell books, or an ambulatory pile of vaguely human shaped slime that can't stop backstabbing his own party and constituency?

It's a grotesque menagerie of human parodies and everyone knows it. poo poo, even the people voting in the Republican primary know it. And i'd venture that at least some of them were stupid enough to believe those stacked polls saying that Romney was going to crush Obama last election. Trump's the most human person up on stage during those debates. I mean, he may be spouting off hateful drivel every other sentence. But at least hate is something that actual human beings can relate too.

So you know that the GOP might bitch and moan that he's not "one of them". But at the end of the day they're beta bitches that won't put their principles ahead of their desire for power. So when he wins the primary they'll fall in line and start scheming to try to get him in office in the slim hope that he sends a few crumbs of power their way if he somehow manages to win the presidency.

The low energy liberals attempt to smear Donald Trump is BACK FIRING ON THEM big time.

:siren:Hillary with Klansman Robert Byrd:siren:



quote:

This morning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put out her own statement eulogizing former Klansman Byrd as a “friend and mentor” as “a man of unsurpassing eloquence and nobility.”

“It is almost impossible to imagine the United States Senate without Robert Byrd. He was not just its longest serving member, he was its heart and soul. From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom,” Clinton wrote.

Bill Clinton Defending Klansman Robert Byrd, YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS

Donald on the other hand left the reform party when David Duke joined


Hey Liberals, you see how your media is trying to make up an astroturf controversy to defend your Goldman Sachs candidate? You guys going to go pro-banker after Bernie's campaign kicks the bucket or will you MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
