I don't think you get to threaten a presidential candidate's life and then say just kidding. The secret service had words with him.
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.
Sometimes I wonder if him and Hillary are in cahoots. Every time she gets called out for something bad he does something even more grandiose and stupid to draw attention away from her. Coincidence? He was a Clinton supporter in the past.
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.
Trump is probably going to win. People need to keep in mind that pissed off rednecks are the majority in this country. And pissed off rednecks love Donald Trump.
I don't think so... Trump is set to lose the upper-middle/rich white vote for the first time in Republican history. They will go with the neo-con disguised as a democrat. Romney had them and the rednecks on lock and still lost. Trump basically only has the uneducated, never hilary, plus the anarchist/troll vote. The only worrying part is... there could be a lot of 'hidden' Trump voters who won't identify themselves publicly. No big deal if he's down 10+ points, but if the polling gets close he has a shot. Can't believe I'm saying this, but Hilary needs to go 100% negative ads only. Nobody likes her so her feel good ads are a miss. Just keep hitting Trump on negatives hoping to get enough notTrump votes.
I swear the one thing I've been worried about is terror attacks as we close in on the election. They will only help Donald Trump and this last weekend probably bumped him into the lead. Plays into the doom and gloom he's been preaching.
