Over the last few days Donald Trump has said and done one idiotic thing after another. For the love of the Grand Old Party, he needs to SHUT UP. Please. SHUT UP.
I know much of what Trump does and says is in an effort to keep his name at the top of the news cycle. He has managed to do that over last few days while reaching a whole new level of idiocy. I hardly know where to begin.
On Sunday Trump said President Obama should resign and suggested that Hillary should stop her campaign,
“In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words ‘Radical Islam’. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words ‘Radical Islam’ she should get out of this race for the Presidency,” Trump said in a statement released by his campaign.
“If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can’t afford to be politically correct anymore,” the statement continued.
On Monday Trump seemed to imply that Obama was involved in the massacre in Orlando,
“Look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind,” Trump said in a lengthy interview on Fox News early Monday morning. “And the something else in mind — you know, people can’t believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.”
“He doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands — it’s one or the other, and either one is unacceptable.”
“Well there are a lot of people that think maybe he doesn’t want to get it,” Trump said. “A lot of people think maybe he doesn’t want to know about it. I happen to think that he just doesn’t know what he’s doing, but there are many people that think maybe he doesn’t want to get it. He doesn’t want to see what’s really happening. And that could be.”
Trump seems to believe that because the President won’t say “Radical Islamic terrorism” he was in some way involved in, or responsible for, the Florida massacre. I agree that it would be nice if Obama called it for what it was, but that does not mean Obama is a muslim (as Trump has implied in the past) and Obama certainly had nothing to do with the actions of a crazy, radical, muslim who hates gay people and opened fire in a gay nightclub in Orlando.
On Monday Trump went so far as to revoke the Washington Post’s press credentials to cover his campaign. That means the Washington Post can no longer cover Trump’s campaign events, making it very difficult for them to cover his campaign for the paper.
“Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post,” Trump posted on Facebook.
“I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, ‘Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting’ as their headline,” Trump said. “Sad!”
I am no fan of the Washington Post but they weren’t wrong. Trump DID suggest that Obama was somehow involved in the shooting.
Washington Post editor Marty Baron responded to Trump’s ban on the paper,
Donald Trump’s decision to revoke The Washington Post’s press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press,” Baron wrote in a statement. “When coverage doesn’t correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished. The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along – honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We’re proud of our coverage, and we’re going to keep at it.”
Should Trump become President will he ban the press from covering his events? Will he allow any press conferences? The man is starting to scare me. He’s a loose cannon and it’s no longer even moderately amusing. It is obvious he is not going even try to appear to be Presidential. He’s childish, petulant, and vindictive. It has also become apparent that no one can control Trump and he cannot control himself. If he wants even a slim chance of winning the Presidency, he needs to SHUT UP for the duration of the campaign. Just SHUT UP.

Trump needs fo focus on hillarys scandals and making america great again. If he allows hillary to make him chase a laser dot like a newborn kitten he will lose… hillary is being ushered through this election process by liberal media. The first debate was clearly swayed in hillarys favor by lester holt. Americans will never see a fair debate when moderators are allowed to insert their bias.. one thing that speaks volumes is the support trump has at rallies, thousands and thousands of people go to all trumps rallies while hillary can barely fill a school gym. If hillary cant get people excited to vote shes in big trouble. I personally dont feel that obama is helping her, most americans feel betrayed by government and thats going to be a big voting point this year….. i think that hillary is on the wrong side of most issues americans deem important, they just dont come up in debates? We shall see what happens…..
The last week of Trump’s outrageous and pathological responses to a court case and a massacre have taken us over a cliff. Down ballot candidates are frantically seeking cover from the GOP’s wack job of a presidential candidate. We warned you that Trump was monumentally unsuited to head the ticket. Now those of you who refused to admit that the emperor had no clothes must bear the blame.
You are correct, but is this the time for recriminations?
You are listening to the news and reading the propaganda the media is spewing I bet to come to this conclusion, The rallies are the only polls we need to concentrate on right now. Do not believe the polls and what you read. Too much has been proven inaccurate.
Check back with me Nov 9.
Trump is the worst thing that has happened to the Republican party in my lifetime. His candidacy will assure that the Dems will maintain the white house, and tilt the SCOTUS for generations. That is the last thing the country needed.
It is particularly painful for me because I am devoting my time and money to getting him elected. Conflicted? You bet.
I’m right there with you. I can’t believe how much time he wasted this week on the silly beauty queen thing. Today I read this article which tells me we may have to go through two more painful debates with him because he won’t listen to anyone. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/will-trump-shift-gears-in-time-for-the-next-debate/2016/10/01/92ac526c-87e7-11e6-a3ef-f35afb41797f_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_sundaytake-1234pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory He believes he won the debate because of online polls! He’s clueless. If he continues down this path, he will not only lose, but suffer a huge loss, 35-40 states. It’s all so sad because Hillary is a terrible candidate and virtually any other Republican would have beaten her easily. Such a missed opportunity for our nation.
Sometimes I think Trump is crazy. But then I go out and rally for him anyway. Some NYC friends explained him this way: The banter, the hyperbole, the slap-you-on-the-back locker room talk, its all part of the scene in certain circles up there. It is almost like prize-fighter talk. They aren’t modest and low-key. It takes a while to get used to, especially for some of us raised in the South to be little ladies and gentlemen.
Anyway, can’t wait till he win and becomes President. He’ll be like no other president ever. He’ll have America’s back, not the opponents’ backs.
Trump, other Republican pundits, and the magnitude of this tragedy seem to finally be getting to Obama. Today at his press conference, he was basically acting like a cornered rat.
While his supporters may be too few to get him elected, they are his supporters, and they like Donald this way. He got where he is by saying outrageous things, waiting for the media to cover the train wreck, and then watching his support rise with his cadre of voters. It’s worked so far. Why would he change now? More to the point, I don’t think he can change, and his supporters don’t want him to change.
Of course, what works well in the primaries may not be as applicable in the general. The other question is the extent to which Trump will attract patriotic voters who normally vote Democrat. Clearly, a lot of folks who usually vote Republican are appalled.
Your first sentence clearly is right. Not sure Trump makes those sort of subtle distinctions. I doubt whether Trump will attract many voters who normally vote democrat, but he probably will pick up some who haven’t been voting at all. I doubt this will be enough to make up for the millions of #NeverTrump republicans. 55% of voters in the latest Bloomberg poll said they’d never vote for Trump. Tough to win elections that way.
Funny, The Donald has been predicting the kinds of attacks like the one that occurred in Orlando by them peace loving muslim terrorists since getting into the race. Don’t be surprised if he wins in a landslide because Orlando is just another in a long line of attacks to come. The Donald is the only one that gets we are in a war and even knows how to address that enemy. Unfortunately, our feckless leader and Shrillary are acting clueless by purpose. No one could be that st-st-st-upidly blind to the threat them peace loving muslim terrorists pose to America.
What exactly are we not doing militarily overseas that you think we should be doing?
How does that compare with Afghanistan?
The US poured military power into that country for a decade and yet we still haven’t eradicated the Taliban or AQ.
Considering our degraded military under the Obumbler regime can hardly keep our aircraft airborne, I don’t know if we have the capability to do very much militarily anywhere in the world.
The last time I was in Afghanistan, the US military was doing a great job at killing the enemy. Shortly after, NATO was given the lead role in command and when you add the drastic changes that were made to our “rules of engagement” sometime around the 2009 time frame, things went to shiite fairly quickly. Once the US gave up the leadership role there, we should have just left in my humble opinion.
My concern is with the security of America at this point. With our porous borders where we know people of middle eastern descent are infiltrating our country, when we have close to 1000 FBI investigations into possible “ISIS” operatives, when we have been witness to continued attacks by these peace loving muslim terrorists on our soil over the past couple of years, I propose the focus be on America now. That means we stop doing st-st-st-stupid stuff like inviting more refugees to live here that we have no earthly way of vetting.
Perhaps, the “reality” star just has a better grasp on reality than you do, my crazy, questioning friend.
Last time I checked, America was the place where asking questions was a good thing, and Afghanistan was the place where a**holes with attitudes kept people from speaking their minds.
So in other words you never saw any screwing around, right?
Given that we have spent a decade targeting and killing AQ and Taliban to the best of our ability, what else do you or Trump propose we do?
Our country has not been doing ANYTHING to the best of its ability for the past 7 years or so. Kind of coincides with the election of President Prissypants. Reality is a bitch, ain’t it, my crazy, nonsensical friend.
So in other words you can’t name one thing Trump proposes to do differently. Because Trump doesn’t know. And there is the problem. All hype and no truth.
The Donald has given a plethora of point papers and his spoken words have remained constant and mostly unchanged since he jumped into the presidential runoff. You must only open your ears my crazy, confused friend.
Just to make it easier for you, since it appears you need the help, The Donald will rebuild our degraded military and he will stop the flood of illegal aliens to include them Syrian refugees that we cannot vet. How many more solutions do you require, my crazy, simple-minded friend?
For your enlightenment, I heard it reported that the Orlando peace loving muslim terrorist was the 103rd ISIS connected idiot to be killed or arrested in the US over the pass couple of years. This article details a few.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3322649/The-enemy-Nearly-SEVENTY-arrested-America-ISIS-plots-include-refugees-given-safe-haven-turned-terror.html
Is that real enough for you?
Thanks for the patience. I haven’t seen a single point paper. Can you direct me to a web address or other location where you saw them?
The military poured into bases, then played patrol policeman. They didn’t take territory or wipe out the Taliban. We built schools then leave them to the mercy of retaliation. We oversaw elections and left detached purple fingers lying on Taliban controlled ground. If we were doing as you say we wouldn’t be still there screwing around a generation later.
Where did you see us screwing around? Apart from the wishful thinking of nationbuilding, the war was a flat out war, and we put plenty of steel on target.
If we put steel on target, why are the Taliban running free I Kabul?
You’re making my point exactly. Unless we are willing to kill innocents by the droves, we are not going to elimimate networks like AQ or ISIS. They will keep their story going and they will keep getting recruits for years to come because plenty of people have crappy lives and don’t have much else going on and over their, the dominant message is ISIS and AQ and Taliban. That’s the nature of fighting non-state actors. Doesn’t matter how many brigades or squadrons we send, we will need a 100 year lease on some really undesirable real estate and we will trade young American lives for it.
There is no fast way to beat them and unless we are willing to make the US into a prison, we will never completely stop them from getting in.
Anybody who says it can be done quickly, or easily, or without thousands more flag-draped coffins is a liar or an idiot.
Would this be the same Donald who backed down on his earlier statement about stopping muzz immigration, getting pushback and finally saying “It was just a suggestion”?
He changes his positions in mid-sentence. Remember “touchback amnesty”? Blech!
I see someone is going to have a rough November.
Funny, the Donald just advocated for gun control like Hillary does. http://thebullelephant.com/trump-pushes-gun-control/
Funny, it appears The Donald is following the NRA’s lead. They may possibly have a sensible measure to keep those weapons of war out of the hands of them peace loving muslim terrorists. Would that offend you, too?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/06/15/nra-reveals-what-it-thinks-should-happen-if-someone-on-terror-watch-list-tries-to-buy-a-gun/
I’m not iffended. I’m wondering how you could say “The entire stupid Homeland Security System is a F’ed up joke” and now propose to put people on a list that depends on not one iota of due process, and have DHS manage it. How do you square that corner?
I have never said “The entire stupid Homeland Security System is a F’ed up joke.” President Prissypants is a “F’ed up joke,” though. You should do some research on former DHS Special Agent Philip Haney and what the Obumbler regime did to his records that pertained to some of them peace loving muslim terrorists and their mosques of hate here in the USA. You might be amazed at how culpable President Prissypants is in many of the attacks that have occurred in America, to include Orlando. How would you square that corner?
You wrote ithose very words yesterday, I copied and pasted the words from your comment.
Yet more confusion on your part, my crazy, misguided friend.
No he is not following the NRA. The NRA doesn’t want people on the ‘no fly list’ banned from buying a gun. Trump is going to ‘negotiate’ with the NRA. What a joke. Why would the NRA negotiate with him?
Bet they’re regretting that early endorsement now.
History repeats itself and here we are again.
Instead of talking about the faults of Hillary Clinton, you decide to be critical of Trump. The democrats don’t need to find things wrong with Trump, they just sit back and let you and others like you give them the ammunition to defeat Trump in November.
This type of article is why Cuccinelli and Romney lost. Instead of the GOP focusing on McAwful and Obama, we criticized Cuccinelli and Rmoney. In my opinion, articles like yours send a clear message that divides us instead of unites us. People will not make calls or knock on doors or even vote. They sit on their hands and the result is always the same. WE LOSE!!!
What is Obama’s first duty as president? To keep Americans safe! Obama, via his open border policies and allowing thousands of refugees that cannot be vetted into our Country, has failed to keep Americans safe. So, Trump was right. The Orlando shooting is under the President’s watch and his failure is a direct result of his policies. But, what have you written about, how mistaken Trump is about calling the president out for these policies?
You condemn him for banning the Washington Post. It is about time someone stood up the mainstream media and told them that their lack of journalist integrity is not acceptable.
Why don’t you and the Washington Post write and continue to write articles about Clinton’s emails. She keeps saying they were not marked classified until after the fact. Please read 18 U.S. Code §2071 – Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally. This code section does not mention the word “classified.” In other words, these emails did not need to be marked classified for her to be convicted of a crime.
Why don’t you and the Washington Post write and continue to write articles about the State Department taking 75 years to turn over four (4) years of Clinton’s emails. How many incompetent people do we have working for the State Department that was run by Hillary Clinton?
Why don’t you and the Washington Post write and continue to write articles about the fact that Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. She has held more than one government job over the years. Yet, her judgment is so flawed that not a single red flag went up before she read, sent, and/or deleted these now classified emails.
Why don’t you and the Washington Post write and continue to write articles about Benghazi or the corruption scandal regarding the Clinton Foundation.
Educate us about Hillary Clinton or she will be our next President. God help us!
Don’t worry, there will be plenty of criticism for Hillary. I’m glad we have people like you on the site to remind us of just how bad Democrats are.
No Jeanine. The fact is that Democrats do not eat their own, but we do.
More like some of us don’t let the most fanatic tell us what to eat.
When the convention is over, the conversation is over. Until then, we’re in the United States. The First Amendment is still in force. People who wish to discuss this topic will continue to discuss it, Mark. Please throttle back on the disparaging personal remarks and act like you do when you are at Saint William of York in your Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus uniform. The manners you show in this forum are beneath the conduct you are and are an embarrassment to KofC. You are supposed to show decency to other people and fraternity towards other knights, aren’t you???
All of Obama’s failings and all of Clinton’s failings don’t make Trump any more suitabe for the office. Trump is Trump, a bellicose reality TV show host.
If Obama is not part of the solution then he is part of the problem. If Obama is considered Presidential then bring me some good ol’ New Youk attitude. Enough of the namby pampy policy even the gays want these ISIS bastards whipped out. Trump should defeat the losers the democrats put up and it’s all about turn out! Cucinelli and the gang need too support the nominee even that pos Comstock would be accepted!
The author is pointing out that the Trump campaign, Trump in particular, is communicating with a style that is better suited to “reality” tv than in any way that is generally considered acceptible. It’s not straight talk, it’s slanderous and irresponsible. Totally independent of who or what he is discussing, so this isn’t about him vs. Obama or Cucinelli or anybody else.
Here’s New York Style, courtesy of Theodore Roosevelt:
To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
You are SO incredibly WRONG! Donald Trump is the ONLY one speaking the TRUTH!
Trump WAS right about the Latino-supremist judge; he’s right about Obama’s culpability in not saying the words, “radical Islam”; and he’s right in revoking the Washington Compost’s credentials for their slander of him. Bravo, Mr. Trump.
Trump made a WONDERFUL and powerful statement to America after the Orlando shooting. Very presidential. He IS quite articulate and needs to keep educating and inspiring us.
The more people hear him and his vision for restoring America, the more they’re turning to Donald Trump. He’s going to win in a landslide.
Aside from a few sad #NeverTrump holdouts, and deranged libs – AMERICA WANTS to hear Trump. So please keep speaking, Mr. Trump!
You really do have TDS bad, and these tirades of yours just enbarrass yourself and TBE.
You realize you’re talking about a lifelong liberal and big-time Hillary donor, don’t you?
What was Reagan before he was a Republican? I seem to remember he was something else and was not born a Republican right?
FYI, You are commenting on a post from June. I don’t expect you will get many responses.
Another funny article! Take a vacation and don’t come back until after the election, it is the only thing to do to relieve your misery. Or stay off the internet, probably your best bet since Trump dominates the news around the world. Trump is here to stay, and most people know exactly what he is saying and doing, and why he is doing it. Only a select few can’t get past their hatred of him. Trump could say the sun was shining, and some people would have to say “nope, the moon is out”.
Spent a few weeks in Europe last month, it didn’t help. I don’t hate Trump, I just want him to become more Presidential, less of a loud mouth, and less insulting so he MIGHT have a chance of winning.
Reagan is the only POTUS we have had that has been “presidential”. The rest have been losers or slimeballs, all of them behind closed doors have not been “presidential”. We are on the edge of a perfect storm and you are worried about a candidate being presidential? For a change we have a MAN w/courage, not a career political hack, someone w/the guts to take the media and Hillary/Obama to task, someone that wants to actually defend our lifestyle and homeland, and you complain about style? We aren’t in the 1950’s anymore. Sock hops, soda pop, and goody goody days are over. Trump might have a chance of winning it people would do their jobs i.e. civic duty to get him elected instead of constantly undermining and complaining about him. Trump isn’t going to change, and the heart of America is behind him, and have the ability to overlook his flaws. Get on board, or get left behind as they say.
How can these polls be interpreted into anything but net disapproval of Trump?

Same site, polling data on Obama

He is less popular than Obama.

Problem is that Every media outlet is owned by somebody. Taking issue with the ones you disagree with? Might be because of their bias. Might also be yours.
I was surprised to read this though. You must admit it is enlightening. I’ll give two articles that might play into a better understanding of this particular situation,

http://shorensteincenter.org/pre-primary-news-coverage-2016-trump-clinton-sanders/
What Trump clearly meant is that the policies pursued by Obama, and that would be pursued by Hillary, create conditions making it much easier for terrorists to infiltrate our country or to not be followed up on adequately, both due to, at a minimum, a misplaced primacy on political correctness over the protection of our citizens, and, at worst, policies intended to further divide and an archive our society. Obama and Hillary are not stupid people. Their onslaught on the country the Founders gave us can’t possibly be attributed to sheer incompetence. Trump may not articulate Founding Principles as well as we’d like, but his gut instincts are right, and there’s no doubt in my mind he loves the same country we love much more than Obama, Hillary and the Progressives.
I have read almost all of Trump’s books. Gave me a good idea of what he is about..
are you sure that is what he clearly meant because that is not what he clearly said
I think thats how most of trumps support feels about him. I dont expect trump to know how to play this nonsense political game as well as hillary but i trust his gut feeling about americas direction. Trump speaks great at all his rallies but seems to stumble a little with quick response answers. We all know what hillary is about though, she will stuff her pockets by making deals that hurt the american people, no doubt about it…
Donald Trump is an IDIOT, and an UNREGISTERED SEX OFFENDER. He needs to shut up and keep quiet until the election when he will be roundly beaten by Hillary Clinton. And then we can all get some rest and allow out children to watch television during the day when this UNREGISTERED SEX OFFENDER, narcissistic and egotistical piece of garbage will no longer be on television announcing just how great he is. Clearly he is nothing but rich trash.
All of my worst fears about this reckless, thin-skinned, unprincipled, inarticulate megalomaniac are coming true. He clearly lacks the intelligence, wisdom, and discipline required to lead our nation. I am convinced if someone were to ask him what is in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, he would respond with a blank stare. How did our party reach this deplorable state?
We must learn the answer to that question or our party is doomed. It may be too late, it may already be doomed.
We need to start talking about what we’re fighting for. Mere opposition to the Democrats makes for a poor compass.
I think Trump talks about plenty about what we are for the Supreme Court nominees among that. I see so many Dems or Dem think on here or just plain #NeverTrump. This is really sad to see and exactly how Romney lost. Some people never learn and some people are just advancing their agenda. Folks need to read some of these comments with an eye to seeing WHY these folks are saying what they are. Read back on Ms Martin’s previous articles on the Bull Elephant if you want to see her agenda. Read on back to early primary articles.
You are correct but I disagree with Ms Martin’s continued articles against Trump that started way back in the primaries. Trump is standing for Supreme Court picks that far surpass anything Hillary will put forward. He is our shot right now. That aspect of what we are FOR should motivate us. We know what Hillary will bring. You are right Ms Martin would do better to assist in getting the word out on the ideas Trump promotes that we all can agree on. Right now the reality is you either get behind a CHANCE to make things better or you promote (actively or not) 4 or 8 more years of the road we know all too well. I personally do not think we can withstand the 4 or 8 more years of Obama-like direction. Help get the word out Ms Martin on what we ARE fighting for please and give up your bashing. Please put the primaries aside. They are over.
I wrote this article 4 months ago. I no longer write posts bashing Trump.
If you Ms Martin continue to write articles like this one, we will be doomed because Hillary Clinton will be our next President.
There is no way that Martin’s writing has anything to do with Clinton getting elected. First of all, except for a few radical right wing nuts and a few moderate trolls, no one reads this site. Second, and most important, Trump is the reason Clinton will get elected.
Spoken like a true Democrat. I’m a troll?
you wish you were a troll. No, you are the right wing nut
…..
SD, I hesitate to ask whether you are a nut or a troll… you don’t come off as either one. I’m more interested in your take on the degree to which you find Trump’s language Presidential, or cringe-worthy.
BTW rather than asking you to classify me, I’ll supply the answer. I’m a someody whose always loved his country, and has made his final household move into the State of Virginia. Here is where I will live and die.
I want local conversation on issues, not a GOP official site and not a party line site. I feel we residents of northern (really all of) Virginia should be capable of developing consensus on our aims and hopes for governance. I would like a conversation that gets beyond anti-Hillary sentiment and soccer hooligan support for Trump.
I’m dizzied by the layers of procedure and law pertaining to delegates. Never knew. Want to learn more.
We don’t have many village commons any more. This is the closest I could find.
I am more disturbed by the thought that some of my neighbors might be harboring loyalty to Trump then by Trump himself
I’m disturbed that you are disturbed Michael.
exactly Kathleen!
Its not hard. If the GOP had been doing the following 3 things for the past 10-20 years then Trump (the candidate) would probably not exist today:
1. Stop voting/talking/acting like Democrats.
2. Embrace your conservative base and support their interests.
3. Enforce pre-existing immigration law.
That’s it. Easy right?
It SHOULD be easy but apparently our party can’t quite grasp it.
Then it is not our party anymore. So it deserves to die.
You are correct sir.
We see here Jeanine Martin’s real agenda. Kill the GOP. Write articles that bash Trump. Resist support. True Cruzer to the end
There are definitely parts of the party system that deserve to die. We need to learn some things from the DEMS and stick together to back our nominee instead of eating our own.
Yeah, he’s going to make a Great President!
Maybe he should speak more like the loser Romney?
Dumb comment. No one wants Trump to be Romney. Sheeze.
Not as dumb as your article, sorry, no disrespect. I appreciate your taking the time to put something together. I really do get a kick out of your child-like hatred of Trump, and not being sarcastic w/that comment either. It just amazes me the state our country is in and see such denial. Get on board, or get left behind. We will be lucky if we make it to November.
Perhaps if we allowed for respectful disagreement, and backed up assertions with facts, we could get somewhere. Taking a short break from sarcasm, value judgements, and personal insults might help.
Thank you. I have no idea where some of these people come up their insults. They certainly are not based in fact.
Jeanine, do you ever ban people from the site? I have a suggestion.
Haha, yes we have banned three people in three years so it’s not likely.
Jeanine I’m glad to hear you are no longer publishing articles against Trump. My apologies for responding to an old article. It came up on my email for some reason and I thought it was just out. Just saw the dates. I’m glad you’ve changed and are now supporting. He is our shot now.
You again? The Veteran? Great wonderful guy?
What was it the Stones said? Pleased to meet you — hope you guessed my name?
I know you are so uninterested in discussing this topic that you want to imagine me into somebody you can use for witty sayings and insults practice. I can’t really help that. But instead of trolling, why don’t you find a discussion you want to be a part of?
Why don’t you mind your own business? We have something called Freedom of Speech, at least for now, more than one Veteran has said that is why they wore the uniform so people can have their free speech. You don’t like me, my comments, or opinions you can scroll down past my name. It is quite simple to do. Can you handle that?
The guy who asks respectful questions?
The guy who can show where he got the information he’s quoting?
The guy who gets called a POS for asking where other people saw the information that shaped their opinions?
The guy who is invited to “FO” (did I get that right?) for suggesting we might all start out by treating one another with respect?
That’s me.
Again Bless your little heart, you will get my respect when you have earned it. Now go find someone else to troll and practice what you preach.
So have you followed the hyperlinks to the polls that show Obama is more popular than Trump?
Good grief. I don’t hate Trump. Why would I? If Trump doesn’t change soon, there is absolutely NO hope of him winning in November. Which would you prefer?
It sure seems like you hate him, you certainly aren’t doing anything to get others to get over their disdain for him, ya know, the whiners that can’t accept their guy lost fair and square. Just read your own article, telling him to shut up til November? Trump is the only one w/the courage to speak the TRUTH, his style is brash, but at least he speaks it.
Trump is 100% correct w/his assessment along w/MILLIONS of other Americans that know the truth of what is going on and see how what a serious dangerous situation we are in. Some people know the bigger picture and not just their little bubble. Trump isn’t going to change, when was the last time you changed anything about yourself? Trump is Trump, he is who he is and he loves this country, unlike the Uniparty that are only concerned w/their status quo and greed.
Trump is saying and giving us all the things so called conservatives say they wanted, and now they can’t handle it. Go figure. Sorry his style doesn’t suit you. Can’t have everything. I will take the truth over pomp any day.
Not our job to persuade people that Trump is a lousy candidate. It’s his job, and every week he gives us more reasons to wish that we had another candidate.
Every DAY he gives us more reasons. Every evening I watch the news and shake my head over what Trump has said today. It never gets better.
It is not our job to “get on board” or “fall in line.” It’s the candidate’s job to persuade us to vote for him. So far, not a chance in Hades. I’ll write in Cruz or Reagan.
Yes, I want a reason to vote for Trump beyond “Hillary’s way worse”. I keep waiting for Trump to give me something, convince me that he’s the right person for the Presidency.
Pretend all you want, but the emperor has no clothes. Most Americans see that.
No so dumb as some have noted. More a laconic statement of sentiment.
You must admit Romney WAS Presidential whatever that means though wasn’t he. THAT did him a LOT of good and he LOST.
So, tell us how you really feel.
I’m trying to support our candidate but lately it’s been very difficult.
I understand..Went thru the Trump Angst last summer..However the real question is how much will Trump will go up in the polls?? Trump is campaigning like a Democrat. You have to get used to that. I did and now I am campaigning like a Democrat.
I predict that 2016 will be like the Presidential Campaign of 1800. It is just starting, it will get a lot worse then this.
It’s going to get even harder, Jeanine. Do you see any of the Branch Trumpidians here cutting you some slack, or even realizing you’re supporting him as the presumptive nominee? Do you think they’ll listen to Conservatives if Trump wins? Why would they?
Your point??? It’s better to appear to be for the nominee but really publish articles against him?
Well, just suppose Trump could win without the female, black, Hispanic, and maybe the Independant vote. How’s he going to win without money? Do you see him coming up with a billion or more? From where? Doesn’t Trump need to raise nearly $200 million a month, or $6 million a day to get to a billion dollars by November? Good luck.
People continue to pretend, that Trump will receive the vote of some segment of the population that Romney did not. Please, tell me, what segment is that?
People continue to pretend, that Obama does not have an over 50% approval rating, that gasoline is not $2.15 a gallon, that unemployment is not half of what it was 7 years ago, ( I know, the books are cooked) and that food stamps are not buying votes, and like 10 million people will not lose their health insurance if Trump wins.
How many of the 10 million who will lose their health insurance with a Trump win vote? What? Still no Republican plan? What has it been, 6 years?
I do not support or like either liar, ah, candidate. What, one devil is better than the other? You had better hope for a Hillary indictment.
