The Trump Candidacy

[sonofdaxjones]

In the same breath that asks why Trump is even a thing, the question of why is Hillary even a thing should follow.

It's really an even bigger travesty that Hillary is even a thing, but the DNC is apparently determined to fly aircover for her.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Hillary is only a thing because there is nobody of note running against her.

[steve dave]

Uncle Joe will take care of that

[sonofdaxjones]

Debbie is pretty much in combat air patrol mode now for Hillary, limiting HC exposure.

Sad, but instead of being outraged by this, the majority of Dem lemmings will remain outraged by Trump.

I don't think outraged is the word I'd use Dax. Maybe, like, dumbfounded. And that goes for moderates as well.

Many are outraged and meltdown at every non PC thing Trump says.

[Cartierfor3]

I'd never ask why Hilary is a thing. I may not like it, but I get it. I don't even get this

[CNS]

Hillary is a thing because she is basically exactly like every other seemingly sketchy politician ever.

mexicans are all criminals and rapists and their government is sending them here
let's build a 1900 mile long wall and make Mexico pay for it.
lets bomb all the oil fields in Iraq and Syria and then just give them to major oil companies

any other rough ridin' insanity that i forgot?

never mind the fact that he's been super vague about healthcare reform, education, tax reform and all the other issues that actually matter.

[sonofdaxjones]

Do you really believe that Trump actually believes that?  LOL

[wetwillie]

I much prefer a career politician that says really neat things and doesn't do any of them.

[treysolid]

Do you really believe that Trump actually believes that?  LOL

i don't know what the eff he believes. you don't either, so don't act like you do. maybe at one point in time the real trump was different from the trump persona that he created, but i think that his persona has become so bloated that it's consumed him completely.

[sonofdaxjones]

Okay, meltdown then.

[steve dave]

Okay, meltdown then.

Nobody is melting down, or angry, or any of those things. Everyone is laughing and WTF'ing about this being the Republican party candidate. It's very absurd, you have to admit that.

[sonofdaxjones]

Okay there

[treysolid]

this isn't binary, dax - being ok with something and melting down about it aren't the only two options.

While I don't agree with much of what Trump says, it really has been a study in how closed minded most ProgLibs are . . . if you're not in lockstep with ProgLib ideals, they pretty much don't want to hear it.   But hey, everybody else . . . keep an open mind.

this is the single most laughable thing i think you've ever typed on this blog. "hey everybody, the racist guy who wants to bomb oil fields and thinks of women as brainless sex receptacles has something important to say! listen up!"

[sonofdaxjones]

That's not what I said at all.

[MakeItRain]

Yeah man the outrage from ProgLibs is palpable, I mean liberals and their outrage can't stay out of the news.

[sonofdaxjones]

I didn't say other people weren't outraged as well.

[treysolid]

 

i'm illuminating the mystery of "ProgLib closed-mindedness" regarding Trump for you, dax. Most reasonable people have already dismissed him as a serious candidate because the things he says are rough ridin' crazy.

you're welcome for the explanation.

[MakeItRain]

Hillary is only a thing because there is nobody of note running against her.

Hillary is a thing because she has worked in politics for 45 years. She is a former Secretary of State, former Senator, she is a part of a political dynasty, she lived in the white house while being involved in policy for eight years. The only thing that she doesn't have that every atypical presidential candidate has is a crank. You can call her a liar or whatever but comparing her candidacy to a guy who has only addressed foreign policy with "I will be so good at the military, your head will spin" is rough ridin' insane. Anyone who asks why is Hillary a candidate when cornered about Trump is either a gigantic rough ridin' moron or a misogynist, there's no other explanation.

[gatoveintisiete]

There is no need for anybody to get all upset about Trump, the American people will elect him president or choose someone else, no big deal.

[MakeItRain]

I didn't say other people weren't outraged as well.

There is no ProgLib outrage about his candidacy because it is amazing news for Democrats. Bernie Sanders is the biggest beneficiary of Trump winning the Republican nomination because the question of electability disappears in the general election. So other than him being a deplorable human I am cheering my ass off for him.

[gatoveintisiete]

Well there certainly isn't a Berniebutthurt thread is there.

[MakeItRain]

You republicans better get one started because he's definitely going to win New Hampshire and if he wins Iowa as well it will be over.
