Trumps numbers should take a tumble next week. He's made a few idiotic mistakes this week. I think the any publicity is good campaign he's been running has ended. lol I didn't realize this is how polling worked. Seems so archaic.
I should'n't have questioned his allegiance to the troll. It seemed like he was gonna toe the GOP line, but clearly picking Mike Pence was to setup a troll within a troll. Pence has to walk back all the garbage Trump says but on eggshells because he's the VP. I hope he's able to complete a trollception 3 levels deep before November.
He has elevated the troll game to new heights. I hope that one day I can be even half the troll that Trump is.
He and his campaign have been talking about violence for awhile. I don't have any doubt that they wouldn't actually mind if someone followed through on it. It's the ultimate direction of the GOP anyway: overthrow of democratic government. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/09/remember-trump-adviser-promised-bloodbath-lost.html
LOL... the man is a pathological troll. Multiple sources now claim the SS talked to him but he denies it. This is also pretty good!
He's not a troll. He's a pathological liar. https://www.washingtonpost.com/grap...p-table-main_trumplies-11a-top:homepage/story
He's both... He's going to troll the GOP for years to come. Endorsing Trump could be the new voted for Iraq war. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/republicans-urge-rnc-cut-funds-trump-226918
I loved him saying Obama founded ISIS. This guy is the king of trolls. 4Chan should give him a lifetime trolling achievement award. I look forward to him taking the troll game to new heights during the debates. The most amazing thing is that many of his followers agree with him that Obama is a secret Muslim and ISIS sympathizer. Considering Obama is an intellectual, I suspect he's actually something much more loathsome in the eyes of the religious right: a closet atheist or agnostic.
My honest read on him from day 1 was that he was putting on a show.... I still think that. He's a liberal democrat from NYC playing a hyper-exaggerated version of Stephen Colbert. Maybe the shitty CBS show made him snap.
The obvious problem with claiming that Trump is a "troll": his platform isn't actually that different from the neocon version of the GOP. All he's done is drop the facade on the agenda. All of his ideas come straight out of the last 40 years of GOP political development. It's an anti-democratic party that wants to institute autocratic rule, and Trump is the pathological corporate fraudster/autocrat that exemplifies their ideals. That's not trolling. That's the authentic GOP.
I have a hard time believing Trump is genuine. But I totally agree about the GOP. Trump is a conman of epic proportions who trolled the party and their demographic into outing themselves. They will be seen as uneducated dumb-asses who want an authoritarian state enforcing their ideology.
The GOP has never believed it's own platform, so Trump doesn't need to be genuine. That's the whole reason they came up with the "Southern strategy".
Allegedly he's narrowed his double digit gap down to a few points in the polls. I wonder if his use the national media for free publicity is outperforming the $150M in Shillary ad buys. I've been pretty openly enjoying his troll job, but in the back of my mind I've always expected a stop loss of some sort. Starting to get a little cautious now...
The phony Clinton Foundation "scandal" + phony email server "scandal" probably contributed to that. Colin Powell used AOL as Secretary of State, had his email hacked, and deleted 100% of his emails (regardless of whether they were public/private) in violation of public records law...crickets from the media, except when Powell attacks Clinton on the same issue. Then it's front page news.
Well I just saw the Trump speech meant to appeal to minorities. Pretty solid. I'm certain he now has the Latino vote on lock and the election in the bag.
