What Kind of Person is Supporting Trump?

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yeah, guilt by association has always worked well for you liberals, hasn't it?

Has Trump rejected the support? It is guilt by tacit acceptance of their support

Trump stares down protester wearing 'KKK endorses Trump' shirt

Ok.....but he said the good old days, and he referenced police abuse by taking those guys out of their seats so fast. Lol then he referenced how political correctness is destroying America. The KKK is very unPC. Not sure what your point is but it seems like it may be opposite of what you intended.

I have no idea WTF you're watching or reading. Trump's reference of political correctness was that the police acted too slow in getting rid of those people. In the good ole days "as Trump put it" the police would have ripped those people right out of their seats.

Yet it was politically correct to remove them. Good ole days without political correctness the KKK would be allowed to attend. Lol

The problem is that you're seeing only what you wish to see instead of what's really there.

I really have no idea what you're looking for. The crowd was booing, Trump walked over to the guy and stared him down, the police escorted them out. What more did you want?

I know you were expecting Trump and Republican followers to cheer on the KKK guy because it's the way you've been trained to think: racist, sexist, homophone and all of that.

Sorry to burst your bubble even if you believe it's still inflated.

Clinton Vs Trump


"Would you rather be stabbed in the stomach 10 times or shot in both kneecaps?" That is pretty much how I feel about the increasingly plausible prospect that Americans voting for their next president this fall will be asked to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

For sheer entertainment value, Trump is the obvious choice. Consider his solution to the "drug epidemic," which he presents in a 43-second campaign video.

"I'm going to create borders," says the billionaire reality TV star. "No drugs are coming in. We're gonna build a wall. You know what I'm talking about. You have confidence in me. Believe me, I will solve the problem."

promises to "get rid of ISIS," Clinton promises to "defeat ISIS and global terrorism and the ideologies that drive it." While Trump says he will be "the greatest jobs-creating president that God ever created," Clinton says she will "create good-paying jobs and get pay rising by investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research."

In addition to grandiosity, Trump and Clinton share the same authoritarian instincts, which lead them to sacrifice civil liberties in the name of national security. Clinton has never seemed very concerned about the government's mass collection of telephone records, which Trump supports, and both want to fight terrorism by attacking online speech.

Trump's defense of the right to armed self-defense may be his biggest advantage over Clinton, who promises a bunch of new gun restrictions without so much as mentioning the Second Amendment. Trump, who used to support waiting periods for gun purchases and a federal ban on so-called assault weapons, may not be completely sincere on this subject. But assuming the next president gets to pick a replacement for Antonin Scalia, Trump is more likely than Clinton to choose a justice who will continue to enforce constitutional restrictions on gun control.

Clinton is clearly better than Trump on immigration. Almost anyone would be, since Trump's idea of "immigration reform" involves the aforementioned wall, on which he would post a "No Muslims Allowed" sign and through which he would deport 11 million unauthorized residents. Clinton also seems more inclined to support criminal justice reform, although her interest in that issue is relatively recent.

Unlike Trump, who at least claims to be worried about the national debt, Clinton evinces no concern about the size of government. Her campaign website highlights 28 alphabetized issues, ranging from "Alzheimer's disease" (which she opposes) to "workforce and skills" (which she supports). Someone who casuallydeclares that "affordable health care is a basic human right" and promises to "end" drug and alcohol addiction "once and for all" clearly does not have much respect for reality, let alone limits on government.

That goes for foreign as well as domestic policy. Clinton, who did not admit the Iraq war was as mistake until 2014,cites the Obama administration's intervention in Libya, which likewise replaced a dictator with chaos and strengthened terrorists in the process, as a paradigmatic example of "smart power." Trump, who turned against the Iraq war a decade sooner and criticizes the toppling of Libyan strongman Muammar al-Qaddafi (which he initially supported), may be slightly more cautious about foreign entanglements.

Since Trump has never held public office and seems to have few firm beliefs about anything aside from his own unparalleled competence, it's hard to predict what he would do as president. Clinton, by contrast, has a long, almost uniformly awful record of public service. Whether Americans decide to be stabbed in the stomach or shot in the kneecaps, the consequences will be painful.

Trump is living proof you can trust the Clintons....he trusted him/her enough to give them tens of thousands of dollars.

Oh "that is playing the game" you say. Well, you do not give someone that type of money unless you trust them to follow through, trust them to come through for you, or trust them to do whatever else it may be.

Trust is at the root of it. You'll notice that a pro-life PAC wouldn't give her a dime because she is firmly pro-choice. In other words, they wouldn't trust her to vote pro-life. Nor would a 2nd Amendment group, nor would a group that wants to drill for oil in Yosemite...they wouldn't trust her to take their money then follow though with helping their agenda.

So if you wonder if you can trust HRC, Trump does.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

oh stuff it. you snobs are the worst of all mankind in my book. your noses are so high up in the air you block the sun off your face.

low and slimy and that includes the author of the garbage and the LASlimes for putting it out

Ever noticed wgat direction Trump's nose is pointed when he's not speaking.

Funny how you think you're not voting for an elitist when you're voting for a freakin' New York billionare! You rubes!

What is even more bizarre is the circumstances.

I mean, if you were to have a field of Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, Pierre Dupont, Steve Forbes, John McCain, Al Haig, or even Phil Gramm and toss Donald Trump into the mix, I could understand the appeal. These other guys represent the old GOP in many ways are out of touch.

But in the 2016 election (if you believed the rhetoric from 2008 and 2012) they had a dyed-in-the-wool conservative in Ted Cruz who apparently is to the Constitution what Billy Graham is the Bible insofar as thinking we should be living by centuries old edicts. He is a moron from my standpoint as a liberal but from the Conservative standpoint he is exactly what every moron here said they wanted.

And once they got the chance to vote for one in a national election....they vote for someone else and the most liberal person running for the nomination of the GOP....

I usually dismiss conspiracy theories but this one really sounds as if there may be some traction to it; why else would the party of conservatives reject the man who is not on the most conservative but one who had a real chance at the nomination.

The way I see it it's not a liberal/ conservative thing. It's more about a political correctness thing.

Give the Republicans some credit. They are trying to change the party unlike the Democrats who simply march in lockstep and drifting further and further left.

Tea Party or Establishment, they all have promised us things and not delivered. That's because for the most part, they are professional politicians and their lives depend on staying in politics.

The message here is that we are sick of professional politicians. Say this and do that. Their only concern after getting elected is their reelection, and they are willing to sell their first born to get that reelection.

One of the attractions of Trump is that he doesn't care. If we elect him President, fine, he'll take the job. If we don't elect him President, fine, he's got plenty of other things to do. His life doesn't depend on politics or money. Therefore he means what he says. He doesn't back down from anybody including the politically correct leftist media.

 

[SmokeALib]

It's either Trump or Pantsuit. I'll take Trump.

 

[bripat9643]

Horseshit! Who did Hillary Clinton rape , harass or assault?

We don't know just yet.

Still of some of the emails haven't been released.

Be patient.

More horseshit. The emails will show that she raped someone? It is typical of Trump supporters and right wingers in general. You cant defend your candidate so you make up shit about Clinton or Obama . Red herrings. That's all you have.

We can't defend our candidate? Trump isn't under criminal investigation for violating security regulations. Trump didn't run the "Bimbo Eruption" squad created to destroy the lives of Slick Willie's sexual assault victims. Trump didn't sell his office to the highest bidder for personal gain. Trump didn't get four of his employees killed and then lie to the whole world about the reason it happened.

You gotta be kidding about Trump needing to be defended.

 

[Davros]

It's either Trump or Pantsuit. I'll take Trump.

I keep hearing about this Pantsuit guy. What's his first name? Is he the Libertarian candidate?

 

[bripat9643]

Wrong. Ghengis Khan and William the Conqueror were not conservatives.

They are the Spine that holds Conservative philosophy upright. They show that one should never back down, compromise and must be prepared to KILL for what is yours.

They have nothing to do with conservatism. They are tyrants and autocrats.

 

[SmokeALib]

It's either Trump or Pantsuit. I'll take Trump.

I keep hearing about this Pantsuit guy. What's his first name? Is he the Libertarian candidate?

She's the main man representing the democratic party.

In an extremely well written letter to the editor in this morning's Los Angeles Times, a reader writes:

"The GOP has done this to itself. By encouraging the hateful rhetoric and anti-government vitriol of Fox News and others, the party has set the stage for Trump ..... Less educated working class whites are afraid of the demographic and cultural changes coming because it means the loss of their status as members of the preferred class. The GOP has taken advantage of this by whipping up fear and anger among them. Along comes their savior, Trump, who tells them what they want to hear.

"The monster is loose, Dr. Frankenstein. Your creature is going to kill you."

I couldn't agree more. Trump is easily on of the most annoying people I have ever seen. His arrogance and lack of humility are exceeded only by his rudeness and obvious lack of class. Can you imagine any presidential candidate in the last 60 years conducting himself the way Trump does on a daily basis? I was listening to the most recent Republican "debate" the other night. Can you imagine Dwight David Eisenhower, Jack Kennedy or, for that matter, Ronald Reagan, saying anything even close to the things that Trump is saying? Of course not.

Times have changed, you say? It's a new dawn for the conducting of presidential campaigns, you say? Hogwash. Have the standards for President of the United States changed? I don't think so. This man is so obviously the wrong person for the job it is not even funny - it's tragic.

"I'm for Trump because he's not afraid to tell it like it is!" Translation? "Trump is a bigoted asshole and so am I!" I feel sadness for all of those who purport to support this arrogant jerk. How they are unable to see beyond his obvious facade is beyond me.

I have mixed emotions about who will ultimately get the Republican nomination. My sincere hope is that it will be Trump, for obvious reasons. It will insure a Democratic victory in November.

What kind of people are for Cruz rubio or kasich?

Well, I could have used Obama on my dodgeball team when I was a kid during YMCA summer camp. We would have never lost the entire time.

His life doesn't depend on politics or money. Therefore he means what he says. He doesn't back down from anybody including the politically correct leftist media.

So, we can expect all 24 GOP candidates to lose their Senate re-election campaigns then right? I mean, you said:

"Tea Party or Establishment, they all have promised us things and not delivered. That's because for the most part, they are professional politicians and their lives depend on staying in politics. "

We should be hearing about Senators like Ayotte, Portman and Rubio to get primaried then...right?

If they stand for re-election in the fall, it simply means that the GOP is no more (or less) angry at their members of congress than the Democrats.
