POTUS 2016

[degsy]

Entertainment at its best

It will be comedy gold, especially with the PC mob and a nutter with his finger on the button in North Korea.


Oh wait, you don't think the Prez (like most Politicians) actually does stuff, really effects world events other than sanctioning bits of collateral damage.

 

[Groucho]

From Wikipedia article on Donald Trump's dad;

Folk icon Woody Guthrie, who from 1950, was a tenant in one of Fred Trump's apartment complexes in Brooklyn, chronicled his disgust with Trump as a landlord, penning lyrics which accused him of stirring up racial hate "in the bloodpot of human hearts"

And, in an LFC-maintain-that-Louis-Suarez-isn't-racist kinda way;

On June 1, 1927, a New York Times article reported that a Fred Trump, living at 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, N.Y. (the address listed by Fred Trump with the birthdate of October 10, 1905, on a 1928 passenger list) was arrested and discharged after an incident with members of the Ku Klux Klan turned into a brawl with Queens police

Personally, I don't think this man's son should be left in charge of the nuke buttons.

A lot of reasonable people have unfortunately racist roots, but this fruit seems much like the tree.

Trump is actually the best of the three.

 

[Philw]

On mobile so haven't read the link you posted but Hillarys popularity with black voters is what's winning her the nomination, bernie's not picking up much steam there

They can probably relate better to her as a minority who opposes the rich white old male politician...

There's no planet on which this statement is true.

It's not the X Factor they're in; it's the President of the United States ffs

Trump is actually the best of the three.

He's the worst because no one actually knows where he stands on anything, anyone voting for him is basically voting for someone who changes their mind every other day. At least Cruz etc have their policies and stand by them, Trump just changes his mind depending on what suits best. How can you vote for someone who can't even decide what they think is best for the country ?

Trump swings both ways, or so I've heard....

But nah, the impression that I have of Cruz, and this was particularly evident last night, is of someone who regurgitates the worst of Fox News. I don't even need to explain why I think Rubio is a wrong un because it's obvious to everyone.

 

[TX Bill]

Then why do I know hispanics and black people who are going to vote for Trump? These are not Republicans, until recently. They changed to vote for him. Seriously. You do not imagine the size of what is about to hit here.

Checking in with @TX Bill for a temperature check in Texas. Florida is gone for Trump if he wins Texas, for sure. Current GOPe fave hashtag is #nevertrump You folks may enjoy the Lileks screed below that reflects my Trumpian thoughts, as James writes with the skill of Messi dribbling between defenders, and I am more of a Stracq attack.

Co-worker today: your tie's too long.

I straightened up, and the tie's point ended where it should.

Oh. I thought you were wearing it like Trump. You see how he wears his ties?

It's to compensate for his stubby fingers and his Hitler [redacted].

I thought you'd be a Trump guy.

Me? He's a racist, a nativist, an economic nationalist, a threat to the First Amendment and our industry, and a liar who may or not be lying about all those things.

She seemed a bit surprised. Even though nothing I've said or done would twin me with Trump. Unless there's an article back in there in the archives where I wanted to "open up the files" and see who really did 9/11.

To repeat what I said yesterday, because that was the top of this entry:

You start out with someone you like, and this person either fails or wins. If they fail you move along to someone else who's acceptable, but wasn't your first choice because of some stances...

Lots of Cruz and Trump supporters here.

He's definitely preferable to Cruz, which is saying something, seeing as he's a racist demagogue.

Rubio is a wrongun too.

 

[Hellerad]

The problem is that the answer to "Who would want to be President?" is "The wrong sort of person."

They let JFK be president despite being the son of a bootlegger, allegedally the help of his dad's connections with the Chicago outfit swung it for him.

 

[tsubaki]

and then there were four!

also kudos to whoever it was (edit: abelard) for pointing out what a scam his campaign was before the Guardian did

A man's parentage should have no bearing on his eligibility to run for office. Obama's father was an absentee womaniser or something, wasn't he?
