Donald Trump for President Thread

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Clinton was right though wasn't she? The stats back it up.

Weird that the first honest thing she said in at least five years has caused outrage.

The problem isn't so much what she said it's the fact that she's indulging in petty name calling. It's not very statesmen/woman like to knock your opponents supporters. They aren't going anywhere and will still be American citizen's after the election so perhaps it would be best to try and extended the hand of friendship while explaining why she thinks they're wrong? It probably wouldn't work but it would stand a better chance then doing what she's done. Lots of undecided voters who were leaning towards Trump are now sure to go that way in protest. It's just never wise to verbally attack the people that you hope to become leader of.

Oh I agree, politically is was foolish, but given it's Clinton I'm just surprised more people aren't relieved the emotionless robot said something honest for the first time in forever.

Clinton made the comments before introducing Barbra Streisand at an LGBT fundraiser in downtown New York.
According to average ticket prices and attendance figures provided by the campaign, Clinton raised around $6 million at the fundraiser, at which some attendees paid $50,000.

She was hangin' with Babs and the girls in NYC, raising a few more millions in $ from her girlfriends of whatever gender, got relaxed, and let some honesty slip out of her mouth because she forgot to be a robot and made what we call a 'Kinsley gaffe'. Look it up.

Hillary fainting at 9/11 ceremony?


If true, imo this raises legit medical questions in contrast to the coughing spells.

....yep, that footage being reported on our news. It's easy to forget that these candidates are no Spring chickens and the US election campaign is particularly demanding and lengthy. Hope she's ok, I enjoyed reading her book quite a few years ago.

...they are mentioning previous problems with a bleed between the skull and the brain.

Serious back step for her campaign. Tump camp has been drumming this before but now it actually seems to be true. Interesting.

Would assume that Bernie Sanders will step up if Hillary has to stand down on health grounds?

I've passed out once or twice, especially after long spells on my feet. I would be reluctant to read too much into an isolated incident. There's a lot of 2+2=5 here. That isn't to say she isn't unwell, but the 'evidence' really isn't very conclusive.

If presidental candidate keeps falling on her arse at this point you can be sure it has an effect.

According to the below article that was written when there was speculation that Trump might withdraw the most likely candidate would be the vice presidential nominee, in this case Kaine, but that it would be up to the party and there is no modern precedent.

'yeah hilarys ill, so i think im gonna vote for the mad racist'

There must be a massive cover up by her team to portray her as being healthy. All the facts point to her being rather quite ill, which, let's be honest, wouldn't be too surprising for a woman nearly in her 70s on her feet every single day traveling all over the country and globe.

Looks like her doctor has put out a fake bill of health, too, as it goes against everything people have been seeing in her recently. Trump must be made up with this weekend's events.

Clinton looks like she's getting worse and no way would she be able to run the country in her current state; being propped up by her minders, ushered into cars, suffering coughing fits, having her doctor release detailed health reports to try and convince people she's fit and healthy then being sent out with dark sunglasses on to cover her tired eyes to assure people she "feels great". Not a chance.

Trump is older, but hasn't shown a single sign of ill health, unlike Hillary. I really wonder what affect this will have on voters who are currently undecided: Do they vote for her regardless and hope she gets healthy and can somehow lead the strongest country in the world into her 70s? Does it make them think twice, will lots of them sway for Trump instead?

Will those who are only marginally on her side be angry at her failure to be honest about her health? I know I'd be angry if I was backing a candidate who claims they are in top condition, only to find out they'd been covering it up and the chances of them being able to lead the country are actually quite low.

The Donald has the momentum for sure, and he'll capitalise on this weekend's events no doubt.

TBH most of the damage was done because her campaign didn't say anything at first, then tried to pretend she was just slightly / temporarily queasy, and even now (or at least earlier this morning) they are trying to say that she made it into the van under her own steam. That video now emerges of her being Brezhnev'd into the van just makes it easy for people to suggest there is rather more to this than her campaign admits.
