Re: Republican nominee for President
 

Trump will never be president...I really urge folks to look at Gary in the libertarian party. He won't win, but a good showing will elevate the party to a viable 3rd party option. Folks, we need more options in politics

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

i've been voting libertarian for a while, and it kind of sucks knowing that you're throwing your vote away. first past the pole, yay!

Pretty sad that the PGA Tour is leaving Miami. I'm wondering if it was just about money, or does Tim F not want to do business with Trump? If I were on tour and one of the top players, Im not going to Mexico City. That same week there is a smaller tournament that is played on one of his properties in Puerto Rico.

Well...in all honesty...who could blame her? It's not her fault. Who on this earth could possibly have expected:
A) Michelle O to say...ANYTHING worth remembering?
B) and WTF...someone actually paying attention to her?
....Go figure

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

I'm just glad Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama because now my friends keep sharing her on FB and I get to look at her face over and over and over. Goodness gracious. I want Trump to win just so the US can go down in history alongside Helen of Troy.

As far as Melania goes,I think we all know she didnt right that speech but the dumbass who did needs to fired.But I'm sure it's hard to come up with something new to say,it's the same shit over and over again,everything has been said.I'm sure he or she didnt realize they were writing pretty much the same shit Michelle did,but they should have checked!

Wouldn't be something if one of the top newspapers in the country would endorse Gary Johnson?

The number 1 problem with getting support for a 3rd party is the media and its strong established ties to Washington and political parties. Its a sad country we live in these days folks....when you have media empires controlling who is elected. You see Facebook corruptness as well...social media platforms backing one side. Its amazing this isn't a bigger deal. The fucking NBC Today's show interviewed Trump almost every morning during the race for the Republican ticket...free advertising.

Ok if that's true I'm even more confused.What would be the reasoning behind it for Trump? Are you saying she was sabotaged by the speech writer or any publicity is good publicity?

Sometimes I think they fuck up on purpose because shit like this seems to be endearing to people who support Trump. I mean LOOK at the shit he's said and people just eat it up. I'm sure his supporters are like, "Aw, poor Melania."

I don't think this particular instance is a big deal. A) nobody gives a shit what Michelle Obama said in 2008 at the democratic convention and nobody gives a shit what Melania Trump had to say this week. The spouses of the candidates, with the rare exception of Bill Clinton this year, have no relevancy to the race.

B) the material stolen from Michelle's speech is so innocuous that there's absolutely zero harm done. Michelle didn't have any IP stolen. There were no original or unique ideas expressed there. They both basically said everyone should be able to have the opportunity to work hard to achieve their potential. Who the fuck cares about that?

This is a very annoying much ado about nothing. Plagiarism is a big deal, but if you take it completely out of context then it's an inane academic discussion.

This was not impactful whatsoever and only serves to distract from helpful conversations we should be having.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but why should the campaign being mad sloppy for a non-politico, who is running as a non-politico, be an issue? I wouldn't be surprised if it was really this sloppy, or if it was just playing to the people who think life is more than a well packaged political thief like Clinton.

Most of your jabs seem tied to the fact that Trump, or non-democrats in general, is not a polished politician and god forbid, actually has human characteristics including failings and foibles. By most things you post I gather you would take Hillary over anything else that another party puts out, and a lot of that seems to be because they don't meet a level of sophistication that seems to be only reserved for democrats. Hate to spin it, but politicians have had every level of sophistication and some of our best presidents have been the least politically saavy. And certainly in this day and age when much of the media spins wildly out of control against any basic tenet that disagrees with their interests, the level of active demagoguery and political correctness foolishness intensifies 1000 fold.

I could care much less about how saavy a man/woman's political campaign is run then whether that same person is going to be an effective person in their office. Trump's campaign that you call clownish, was effective enough to put him dead even against a lifelong politician who also struggled in her primary contest. And even I know I won't vote for him, once Trump focuses his core group on winning the presidency(instead of the Republican nomination) I wouldn't be shocked if if he didn't end up winning convincingly, even with the so called clownish campaign.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

Right and wrong are not necessarily discerned only by those with doctorates. There have been some very smart, very evil people in this world who got to power through very well run organizations.

I am no Trump fan but dismiss his campaign as clownish and his supporters as merely buffoons not worthy of consideration at your own risk.

It pulled him even because republicans dont have a choice. He is feeding off of our fears and desires and simply saying what the mindless masses want to hear. Fuck muslims. Fuck mexicans. Yes unfortunately racism is alive n well in this country.
You should care greatly about how his campaign is run because if he cant run it how in the hell will he run a country? None of us know exactly what happened with hillarys emails but i know two things for sure : she is not going to ever use her personal device again, and she certainly did not want any Americans to die. Though that is what people want to believe. Point is she can and has learned that lesson. It is not nearly as easy for someone to learn not to insult or spout off at the mouth. Its tangibles vs intangibles.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

If you look at Donald Trump in the sense of a man who understands how to manipulate the modern citizenry, by playing to the mass appeal of the day, I think he follows the role of Ronald Reagan. now stop. Conservatives, take a breath, don't cry or bemoan my demeaning of your iconic figure because you think I am saying Trump equals Reagan in his Republican hey day. Liberals, likewise don't smirk or laugh at the notion of Trump as an ideologue.

No, the point I am making is that Reagan was an Actor, he understood how to appeal to the people on levels outside of the realm of a pure politician. He used that skill to make strong connections that defied the political pundits of the day. Likewise, Trump is nothing if not a showman. He knew the keys to push to win the groups he targeted, and he also knew how much it took to win. I see him doing a huge pivot in his speech tonight, certainly we will hear of Hillary's moral bankruptcy and general ineptness as a leader, but I expect that tonight will be the first speech that Trump makes that targets a national, not Republican primary voters, audience. And in that, I really expect him to, in today's flash and glitz style, capture the appeal of those who have heard only the liberal media's constant maligning of him.

I could be wrong, BUT if Reagan were on stage today, he would #connect with those who felt disillusioned by the politically corrupt and incompetent leaders of both parties. Not much has been made that I have seen, but it is to me refreshing that the Bush/Romney part of the Republican party is a no show at this convention. It is refreshing that Wall Street is sitting this one out, that the invited speakers are folks that worked up the ladder (ie Scott Baio), not spoon fed status seekers.
