Donald Trump for President Thread

I'll be voting Trump. Not because I like him in any way shape or form. I think he will be a an unmitigated disaster.

Sad as it is to say only a disaster of the type he will produce will bring about the change America needs. No more owned politicians from either side etc. Getting back to government that serves the people. We don't get closer to that by having another corporate dem like Hilary.

Sad? Absolutely. Necessary? Unfortunately.
 

Been in and out of this thread. Interesting to see the reactions to trump. There was an initial 'go Donald, this is hilarious' then the numbers dwindled to 'go Donald, feck the establishment' then to 'go donald, i'm clearly trolling'. Just wondering if there is anyone who actually wants him as president? Not 'doesn't want Hillary' but actually wants Trump?

also, if you do, have a quick read of this. https://storify.com/case_face/a-trump-rally-in-greensboro-anger-in-here-is-palpa

Can't wait for that guys melt down once Trump wins.
 
Interesting article about the Trump phenomenon in the Guardian by author Dave Eggers:

His supporters do not care. Nothing in Trump’s platform matters. There is no policy that matters. There is no promise that matters. There is no villain, no scapegoat, that matters. If, tomorrow, he said that Canadians, not Mexicans, were rapists and drug dealers, and the wall should be built on that border, no one would blink. His poll numbers would not waver. Because there are no positions and no statements that matter to them. There is only the man, the name, the brand, the personality they have seen on television.

Man tried to grab cop's gun to kill Trump at Las Vegas rally, authorities say


A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas over the weekend told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the candidate, according to court documents released Monday.

A complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford, 19, with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He was expected to appear in court later in the day as the investigation continued.

Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump.

The court document says that Sandford was arrested after grabbing the handle of an officer's gun in an attempt to remove it.

When Sanford was asked by a Special Agent why he attempted to grab Officer Jacob's sidearm, Sanford replied "to shoot and kill Trump."

If he failed, Sanford stated he booked tickets for a Trump rally in Phoenix and would try to kill Trump there. He added that he had been planning to attempt to kill Trump for about a year, but decided he would act on this occasion because he finally felt confident about trying it.


The 19-year-old said in the court documents released Monday that if he were on the street tomorrow, he would try this[killing Trump] again.

Sandford had a United Kingdom driver's license with him at the time, according to the criminal complaint signed by Secret Service Special Agent Joseph Hall.

Secret Service agents said that Sandford told them he had been in the U.S. for about a year and a half, lived in Hoboken, N.J., and drove to the San Bernardino, Calif., area before coming to Las Vegas on June 16.

Sanford also authorities that he went to the Battlefield Vegas shooting range the day before the rally and fired 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol to learn how to use it. Police detectives who visited the range spoke with an employee who confirmed that he provided Sandford shooting lessons, according to the complaint.

About 1,500 people attended the Las Vegas rally, which was held in the Mystere Theater inside the casino. Attendees had to pass through metal detectors manned by Secret Service, police and casino security officials.
 
They're annoyed but not enough to be that stupid. They do that and Trump runs as an independent out of spite pulling votes from their candidate

good point - but they could in theory?

some possibilities might be...

1) Go with Trump and maybe win - tick.

2) Go with Trump and maybe lose - not happy campers

3) Replace Trump and hope to win even with a spilt vote - no real change from 2 above, but with the small(?) pleasure of giving Trump the finger.

4) Trump wins as Independent - Pyrrhic Victory for Republicans - but with the small(?) pleasure of giving Democrats the finger.

I still want Trump to win just for the fume and to be able to sit back and watch the worlds antics...
