Donald Drumpf sucks thread but come in and watch Sir Gal and Coke kneel before the dumbass

[Poolside Knight]

Hillary & Obama using the 'look at what the rest of the World thinks' is not a smart strategy against Trump. They are overestimating how many Americans care what the rest of the World thinks and that could help Trump.

I wish Obama would go out like W did and not get involved in the Presidential race but it looks like that's not happening. W got a lot of respect for just going away and not responding or trying to defend himself from attacks.

So some of the appeal of Trump for some primary voters was that he could self finance his campaign, and was beholden to no donors.

So how does that jive with him not self financing the general election?

I'll hang up and listen.

 

[1ofTheseKnights]

Meh don't care now. The hard part is over w the kingmakers all failed as far as getting "their" puppets. Donald's holding all the cards.

The appeal is still Chief Orangeman calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocohantas" - looking forward to a nickname for Putin

He didn't self finance. He loaned his campaign the money. He'll pay himself back before the convention.

Doesn't change the fact that no one gave him money so he owes no favors.

He has been taking donations. That's how he's going to pay himself back.

Get out of here with your facts!

No one gave ( past tense ) him donations during the primary. They might give him money to pay off the loans he took out to pay for the primary.

Sixteen of this, a bakers dozen of the other, I always say.

well he has to when going against the Billion dollar Clinton Machine and I hate to defend him on anything but him taking 100mil from his Vegas Tycoon buddies isn't nearly as bad as some of the dirty money that have gone to the Clintons, Bushes, etc

Yeah, it's all the same with campaign contributions. At least the way other people talk about it. I personally don't have any problem with them.

You're a liberal, what do you know of facts?

I know Trump accepted $50 mil+ in donations during his "self-funded" primary run.

 

[Sir Galahad]

I know Trump accepted $50 mil+ in donations during his "self-funded" primary run.

So roughly about the same amount Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qutar and the UAE have donated to the Clinton Foundation, most of it while she was either the Senator of NY or Secretary of State. Got it.

That's not the point.

This is about taking donations after Trump said he would self fund his campaign.

 

[Sir Galahad]

And by definition he has.

 

[MACHater02]

And by definition he has.

So where does the money from the donate button on his web page go?

YET

 

[knight_poster_15]

Although a significant portion of his campaign funds, about 34 percent, come from individual contributions, Trump doesn’t appear to be actively soliciting these donations with high-profile fundraising events. The Sunlight Foundation, which advocates for transparency in money in politics, tracks political fundraisers with its Political Party Time tool. It has no record of any events to benefit Trump.

In contrast, Political Party Time has recorded more than 280 fundraisers for Clinton and more than 150 for Bush since the start of 2015.

There is, though, a "donate" button on Trump’s website.

Trump also has minimal political action committee support compared with his opponents. PACs have raised just $1.8 million on Trump’s behalf, which is the lowest among all candidates still in the race, with the exception of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Republican former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore,

 

[knight_poster_15]

I guess we'll find out just how this is going to work. I think he's going to be better off than other candidates who literally have no wealth and would look to not only fund raise but also set themselves up for life like the Clinton Foundation.

 

[Sir Galahad]

Still waiting on a democrat to explain a $200,000 fund raising dinner by George looney for Hillary.

 

[1ofTheseKnights]

Oy wonder if your buddies Norman Braman, Bernie Marcus & Sheldon Adelson will climb aboard the Trunp Train

 

[MACHater02]

What is there to explain, all candidates raise money.

I've never heard of a republican candidate having $100,000 plus a plate dinners before, I've seen Hillary do it, I saw John Morgan do it for Obama but not republicans. Its amusing to me that people like you actually think the democratic political class gives one rats ass about you or anyone else. They want to keep their electorate dumbed down and dependent on the government. Please name me one positive thing about hillary.

See, this is why I'm avoiding Trump at all costs. Literally everything you just said about Hillary applies 100% to Trump, and maybe moreso. In fact both sides are going to end up looking pathetic and hypocritical when they're attacking the other side with arguments that can absolutely apply just the same to their candidate.

This is how great Republics die.

Not at all, under a president Hillary my investments will blow up. I can think of no one that will be better for Wall Street than Hillary. I just think the people that support her are ignorant.

No need to state the obvious. I knew they were of superior intellect when I saw them beating and spitting on people at Trumps rallies.

If Bill changed his name, would he be eligible to run for POTUS again? Or got a new SSN, possibly a new face like in Face/Off*?

Honestly, I think we'd all be better off with another 4-8 years of Bill. That might be reason enough to vote for Hillary.

I'd vote for Bill again. It would give me a reason to vote Democrat again; something I haven't done in 12 years.

If you did a word-association game with people for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, it might go like this:

Donald Trump: wall, trade, terrific.

Bernie Sanders: billionaires, Wall Street, income inequality.

With these words, Donald Trump, the host of “Celebrity Apprentice,” defeated a platoon of professional Republican politicians and is the party’s presumptive nominee.

Bernie Sanders, a Vermont socialist, won’t be the Democrats’ nominee but he has transformed Hillary Clinton into the incredible shrinking heir apparent.

As a result, some have asked: What is going on with the American electorate? A follow-up question would be: How have Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders gone so far by offering so little?

Everyone gets that these two campaigns are about varieties of anger. But something other than anger is changing America’s politics.

At the Trump campaign website, five policy positions are listed. Two are “Pay for the Wall” and “Immigration.” Other than trade with China, there is no entry on foreign policy.

Sen. Sanders’s campaign is essentially variations on several evocative phrases. Liberal analysts have debunked what little detail he has proposed as implausible, notably on health care.

And still: political minimalism is a winner in 2016.

The Trump and Sanders phenomena really have more in common with Facebook communities than with the two political parties. Maybe that’s the future. Criticizing them, we’ve all learned, violates the social bond.

There have to be professional Democrats who wish they could roll Bernie’s new magic voter dice against Donald Trump’s this fall.

Of course we can’t govern this way. The Trump and Sanders electorates are right in their anger about poor wage growth, but it’s still going to be a mistake if the next president, elevated out of a culture of sentiment, is incapable of policy execution.

This is a presidential campaign for our time. What comes after, the world and its many realities, will still be old school.

 

[UCFWayne]

What will be funny about the debates between Trump/Hillary will be when they go to attack each other. Everything they accuse the other of doing, they will in fact be guilty of doing the same thing.
