he would have to outsource everything to mike pence who in turn would mostly outsource everything to influential gop people.

Short of this message, I am a democrat and I like to watch Bill Maher on t.v.. If Clinton, Obama, Gore had to start a company for 5 years from scratch, 95% chance chap 11.

Holy crap that might actually be true.

the funny part is how blatantly he's pandering. If you read his books, he actually gives really decent dieting advice. There's 0% chance he's eaten any of the food he's taken pics with.

My aunt has a thought from noted intellectual Tucker Carlson that she'd like to share.

Quote:

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” network regular and Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson warned Republicans that oppose party nominee Donald Trump that a President Hillary Clinton will change America.

“This is a pivot point in American history,” Carlson said. “If Hillary is elected – everyone is focused on her deficits as a person. The truth is it’s her policies. She’s going to open the borders, pack the Supreme Court and you are not going to have the same country. Maybe you like that, maybe you don’t. But we’re not going back to the status quo, period. And so Republicans need to understand if Trump loses, it is a new America, OK? A lot is on the line, whether you like him or not. That is real.”

I really wonder if he even believes his own BS.

Hillary is literally campaigning on the status quo and Trump is campaigning to tear it all down. In my lifetime I can't think of a president less likely to bring about a massive sea change in anything than HRC.

Just realized I misread LK's post as "dating advice".

I'm 5 beers deep. Probably time to stop posting.

Lol at pandering to the masses but still eating fried chicken with a knife and fork.

I hope you're right. I'm mostly here to lolTrump and vent, but behind that is real anxiety.

This lady is pretty brave. Pence at least was respectfull but the crowd got on her.

I vote for Democrats in order to prevent Armageddon. This may be a bit results-oriented, but so far, so good. Why would I expect different results?

It seems like a realistic scenario that he tells his supporters to act out if he loses, which is pretty terrifying to think about. I can't imagine the entire thing going smoothly.

The only peaceful way I can see him going out is by saying that it was a successful campaign because it increased his brand's value by a couple billion.

Bump, saw this posted today. Probably even more worried now than before as I had forgotten about this:

Trump would have taken out a full page ad blasting Till for whistling at a white woman.

I didn't. I mean, well, it's true that we was being obnoxious in order to dominate the news cycle, but it was obviously not a strategy to me even at the time. It's just who Trump is, as a person. His persona isn't an act, he really is this character he's been in public for decades in real ****ing life.

I know with 95% chance he will bow out gracefully. He knows there is a good chance he will be assassinated. It may have already been tried at Treasure Island, NV. Chelsea and Ivanka are BFF. The Clintons and Donald have been friends for a long time. What most don't know is Donald is at core not much different than a democrat. He is a decent guy. He has been around my whole life, I have seen all the fueds and The Ivana/Maples/Trump national enquirer sex scandal. I still don't know what made him famous to begin with. Sort of like the Kardasians.

In summary he used a lot of debt to build an empire. On the edge of collapse, he got a lot of banks to refinance his loans and he made it through the recession of 1990-1992. From then on he was more conservative with debt. The casino business is a tough racket as it is very competitive and margins are thin.

I would not call Trump a racist, he is more of a profiler. Barack has always has been just as hostile to Trump as vice versa. He loves celebrity and blue collar that is why he and Tyson get along.
