Under the vegetable posted:my serious question is why people are calling trump hitler and an antisemite when he has a jewish daughter and son in law that he loves and supports You have to do something to convince jilted Bernie voters to come back out in November now, and the only thing easier than making your enemy Hitler is to make them a zombie...and that's a better card when you're trying to attack an old guy like McCain.

So the only people who have provided actual thoughtful evidence appear to believe there is at least a chance that Trump is a plant.

Up until people became injured at the rallies i was holding a 5% belief that it was all an act, i think it's pretty likely that its real at this point.

I do think it's hilarious that when Hilldawg got her chance, out comes another mad dog candidate like Perot in '92 except even madder and more racist.

He's not a plant. There was no nefarious plot to get Trump to run. Chaos reigns.

I'd still say there's a ~10% chance it's all a big put-on of some sort; I legitimately believe he'd be willing to win the Republican nomination and the Presidency just to prove he can, and then deliberately throw the position or not run for re-election or whatever. I also think he's capable of coming out and pretending he was some sort of trolling puppetmaster as soon as it becomes apparent he's going to lose the nomination/election, to avoid making a sincere concession. Even if it's absolutely untrue.

If he runs third party for no good reason then I would say there's a more than zero percent chance Hillary hosed us with Trump's baby dick

If Trump takes off his mask and reveals he was a Hillary plant all along then what could I do put stand up and applaud for the greatest long con to ever be played on the American voter.

If they ratfuck him at the RNC after he wins the party's popular vote, I wouldn't say Trump is running third party "for no good reason". He'd be morally justified at that point, God help him, and it's not like he actually gives a poo poo if the Republicans win (it's not like modern Dem Presidents really stick it to the rich).

To be fair he doesn't even have to run to torpedo the Republicans if they gently caress him over. He can do the exact same thing he's been doing- just call in to every news show every day or two to talk poo poo about Romney or whoever they'd dig up to run. Hell, Trump could sell sponsorships while he does it. "Hey there Joe and Mike? How you doing this morning? Just thought I'd call in FROM MY LINCOLN MKS, just pulling out of DUNKIN DONUTS with my morning coffee  "

You know, Bill Clinton became president because a sort-of crazy guy ran 3rd party to distract Republican voters and create a rift. It's funny when you see how this election parallels that of 1992.

Yeah, I still remember that guy wandering aimlessly around on the debating stage. At that point, I realized that Perot had no serious intention of becoming president.

Ok trumps poo poo is more and more like a plant. The loving Trump armbands that are specifically designed to look exactly like the nazi armbands. The stupid barking dog commercial with the unimaginably lovely production values and the goofus "terrorist" with the toy gun. It's all designed to make everyone say omg trumP actually IS hitter and vote for the $hill and it's obvious. Trump is an inside man. Wrap it up.

It is interesting that Hillary stopped attacking Trump for his misogyny immediately after he threatened to drag Bill through the mud. I wonder if that will change in the general election.

I strongly wonder about this. Trump is known to have connections to the Clintons. It's known that he was a democrat until relatively recently. Without Trump in the race, Republicans might be running someone who could pose a legitimate threat to Hillary like Jeb or Kasich. Trump's carefully ensured no moderate has a chance to win on the Republican side, and if he or Cruz wins then on paper... assuming democrats are scared enough to overlook their disdain for hillary... then her mathematical advantage against either candidate in the electoral college should be crushing. I strongly wonder of Trump's antics in 2012 helped Obama win reelection. It's like he doesn't understand the effect he has... or he knows EXACTLY what he's doing and it's one of the few brilliant underhanded strategies to come from the dems. Hillary can expect the largest advantage in the minority vote any democrat has ever carried if Trump's the nominee, and a significant edge with the female vote. Young progressives might not show up but it looks like Republicans hate Trump even more than Democrats hate Hillary. 1 in 5 reps won't vote for him as opposed to 1 in 10 dems. That would suggest this may be the first landslide a Democrat has won since the 1960s, even if independents rally behind a 3rd party candidate. That may not be the case though. This is all very speculative.

In all seriousness, I absolutely refuse to believe there wasn't some kind of trolling going on when Trump made his rallygoers give him a Hitler salute. Even if it was only on the level of "Man, these people love me so much, I bet I could tell them to give me the Nazi salute and they'd do it. Watch!"

Serious thought: Is Drumpfs son someone you would be comfortable being in a room alone with? The guy is legitimately creeppy, like a cross between Gary Busey and a vampire. I could easily see him literally living the american psyco life, but it is not even thinly disguised.

Fast Luck posted:It's an actual fact that Trump called the Clintons and asked them if they thought he should enter the race. This is my fav scenario where Trump is a plant. The Clintons thought it would be cute to encourage the reality show boor to run for president and gently caress with the republicans, but wait! now he's got the nomination and he's not following campaign decorum! If I were Hillary I'd be confident that I could beat Trump in an election but I'd be worried that he would expose my worst flaws in the process.

Like did Clinton (Bill or Hilary) ever kinda hide their ground game in states the way Trump seemed to do in SC and other states?

Like maybe he met Rubio early on and was talking to some handler like "who was that twerp? who's intern is that" and then was told that was a serious contender for the nomination and Trump's brain started turning like an old Chuck Jones cartoon?
