SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics) - Page 476 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

maybe it's wishful thinking but I can't imagine any fence sitters or never trumpers are excited to get behind this guy after that performance

on the flip side, bernard bros and youngs who are ambivalent about Hillary? probably voting now

i thought so too but there are lots of people that just really really hate hillary

like some people i never thought would stomach not voting her (including a few women) working for planned parenthood, social workers, medicaid expansion advocates, etc who i know who are going to vote for jill stein or whatever. weird to me especially since jill stein is a moron but whatever at least in missouri it probably won't matter (although i was kind of hoping it could be close but prob not)

Eddy, people called all the charities Trump said he donated to. I think it was WaPo. He went 1/100 on actually donating to these charities he claimed he did. It's a pure grift and you're dumb enough to fall for it. If you had the money you would have enrolled in Trump U.

Trump is a guy who *never* tells the truth, but when he says he does charity work and donates a ton, the guy who stiffs contractors and employees of his over and over, yet you think he donates to all these charities? How gullible are you? How many times do you have to fall for a lie from the same person before you go "hey, maybe they aren't genuine?" You're at like 50 with Trump.

- Said the judge in the Trump Univeristy wasn't impartial because he was Mexican plus a bunch of other stuff against him.

etc.

Oh yeah, and that time he switched statistics to try and show almost all murders were by black people.

Nitting but the judge thing isn't racist. It's pretty reasonable to expect a Mexican judge to be biased against a guy who has recently said a bunch of racist stuff against Mexicans. Obviously "he only thought the Mexican judge would be impartial cos the judge knows what a giant racist he is" isn't a great argument against him being racist though :P

True, I think it was more the backtrack after. He said he didn't care if the judge was Mexican or not but didn't explain why he mentioned it in the first place if he didn't care

I think she was in the wrong. I also don't think it's a good look to put a First Lady in jail, so it is what it is.

That speech is without question, and by far, the scariest speech in American politics in my lifetime, and probably going back much further than that too. Absolutely horrifying.

Are you really scared of words? That's what you are afraid of? What part of his speech was scary other than the Law and Order part which I wasn't a big fan of myself.

Which one of Trump's talking points are you afraid of?

- make America safer. Do you want more or less mass killings?

- create more jobs. Do you enjoy going to work for a living, and getting paid for it?

- bring back manufacturing to America. Kind of sucks that all these cities are going to nothing because of the lack of manufacturing in this country.

- Make colleges affordable. Do you want to pay more for college or less?

- immigration reform. Do you want more or less people coming in the country willy nilly.

Wow those words are so scary. Better sleep with the lights on.

He wants to keep or expand current gun rights laws while ramping up action in the Middle East. That's going to make everyone less safe.

Create more jobs how? Deregulation without specifics is just a platitude.

Manufacturing as we used to know it is gone, full stop.

You should really read the Democratic platform if you think Trump is going to make college affordable.

I'll leave the immigration thing alone. We don't have a major immigrant or refugee problem.

Yeah, he basically was asking for a legal safe space to be free of the consequences of his own racism.

Drumpf spent 90 minutes talking and offered nothing but platitudes without an ounce of substance

He said something like TSA is a disaster and we're gonna fix it

Like, wtf does that even mean? What's the disaster? What are you going to fix? How are you going to fix it?

How do people actually eat this bull**** up?

unreal to me that Clinton (assuming her strategy is to get more votes than the other guy) wouldn't pick Warren unless vetting had revealed something seriously awful, but what do I know, I'm just a simple country hyperchicken
