It would probably take something like this actually happening in America or something massive in London or Paris again much closer to the election to even potentially sway this Trump's way. The only real question is how long will Sando slank away from the forums after paying his bets? He was gone for quite some time after Russell threw away the Super Bowl. I know Trump hasn't been campaigning for long, but Seahawks fans, above all, love a good bandwagon and I fear this may just crush him.

True. And most Drumpf supporters probably didn't even know what Brussels was until today

I know it's just coincidence and that him smiling is just a stock photo but I can't help but be absolutely disgusted seeing Drumpf's smiling face over the 'on the phone' lettering while footage of the bombing is taking place in the background

Trump calling in to the Today Show was utter buffoonery. Do his supporters actually listen to him speak? When he is afraid to answer questions and goes off on one of his horrible takes he embarrasses the entire political environment of the US.

It's easy to see how the Trump phenomenon works just by reading Sando's posts. Yesterday he linked an interview Trump did with the Washington Post, praising some of Trump's statements that alluded to a declining global military presence. He paid absolutely no mention of the fact that Trump also made plenty of statements that contradicted that in the very same interview, not to mention numerous vapid word salads that should have exposed him as a no-nothing nincompoop to any rational reader. Trump was sometimes contradicting himself in consecutive sentences. Trump is basically a Rorschach test made from poo flung against a wall. Supporters will see whatever they want to see.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slate..._advisors.html

Quote:
The first of the five names, all of which were given to the Washington Post, was Keith Kellogg, a retired Army lieutenant general whom the Post listed as working for CACI, a private technology and intelligence organization. When I called CACI, it said Kellogg was no longer with the company. I was directed to Cubic, a California based "information technology" and "travel solutions" company; despite appearing on the company’s website, he was not listed in the phone directory. One thing we do know: He served as the COO of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq for several months in 2003 and 2004.


Another adviser is Joe Schmitz, who was both a former inspector general at the Department of Defense and a former Blackwater employee. According to a 2011 Jeremy Scahill report in the Nation, Schmitz once tried to argue that lawsuits regarding actions in Afghanistan against Blackwater could not go forward because Afghanistan was governed by Sharia law:

In 2008, in attempting to have the case thrown out of federal court in Florida, Schmitz argued that because the crash occurred in Afghanistan, Sharia law should be applied. Conveniently, Sharia law does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.
In his spare time, however, Schmitz managed to co-author, yes, “Sharia: The Threat to America,” a Center for Security Policy “report.”

George Papadopoulos is the director of the Center for International Energy and Natural Resources Law & Security at the London Center of International Law Practice. (Long enough title?) He was once a research fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., and a Ben Carson adviser.

Then there is Walid Phares, one of the many "terrorism experts" who appeared regularly on both NBC and Fox News after 9/11. He served as an adviser to Trump’s current nemesis, Mitt Romney, in the 2012 campaign. More notoriously, Phares, a Lebanese Christian, was a top adviser to the Lebanese Forces, a Christian militia responsible for many human rights violations during the Lebanese Civil War. According to Adam Serwer, who wrote a long investigative piece on Phares in 2011, former colleagues described him as, in Serwer's words, "one of the group's chief ideologists, working closely with the Lebanese Forces' Fifth Bureau, a unit that specialized in psychological warfare." As one former militiaman told Serwer, "There is a problem with Islam. … If you want to follow the Koran by the book you have to be like [Osama] bin Laden. It is a reality. And Walid Phares knows this reality. He's lived here."

The fifth Trump adviser is Carter Page, of Global Energy Capital, a private equity firm that invests in energy companies.

Can we all just agree that trump is a sexist, racist, egotistical maniac, lying numbskull and get on with it?

I think most informed citizens see his rhetoric (or insane takes) as frustratingly ignorant. But for those that see the RNC as an actual political party it is starting to boarder on comedy hour. SNL will have material written for them until November.

To all is supporters, what was it that P. T. Barnum said...?

Yeah, the Post largely sanitized the Trump quotes. The contradiction was that of the advisors Trump listed that anyone knows about, they're all a bunch of interventionists, not isolationists.

I know nothing about them but it's disappointing if true. Still prefer the guy who openly dumps on the Iraq War and explicitly opposes nation-building.
