this election is not a race. hillary clinton is not a competitor, shes an spectator like the rest of us. no one but trump can affect the outcome of this election

the whole world waiting with bated breath as we explore exactly how loving stupid the orange baby and america are

I am struggling to see how Trump's not trapped. He can dominate the news cycles, but he has to sacrifice mainstream appeal to do so. If he wants mainstream appeal - and he'll need it once people start thinking about the presidency instead of whether they're entertained - he'll lose his ability to dominate the news.

I know what you mean, but I just don't see a way forward for Trump - I'm starting to suspect that he's the only one who can't affect the outcome of this election. There are some things that could happen that might swing it one way or another, but it strikes me that he's very limited in his own ability to broaden his appeal.

Don't worry, I read on RT that both Iraq and Libya got hosed up because the west wouldn't be able to handle all that gold currency. Ron Paul secret Libyan.

edit: actually, even RT didn't report this as fact. They just did a lot of "just asking questions" and "some say" about it. So lol.

rt about as useful as any other major media source, it just seems more confrontingly biased because that bias is so far from what youre accustomed to

but ok no rt

It is understood that France has clear economic interests at stake...

Qaddafi has nearly bottomless financial resources to continue indefinitely, according to the latest report we have received:

According to sensitive information available to this these individuals, Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli.

This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA).

Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.

I think it's cool how the only people that think traditionally blue states are going to go red this cycle are Trump supporters. Please by all means set yourself up for disappointment, it'll make the election night breakdowns that much better.

Realistically I'd expect the toss-up states like Florida and Ohio to flip back to red but it won't be enough. Somebody on here said that Oregon is at play which is a hearty lol and shows how delusional people are.
