Rozalia Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Lets be straight here. Guy is low energy, nobody cares, and it just ain't going to happen. With how the American system works he'd be better off doing a Bernie if he really is that good. I doubt however he is that good. The thing about third party guys is a lot of disaffected people get the idea that their guy is perfect, people just haven't realised it yet. I checked Jill Stein for example and she quite frankly embarrassed herself on a AMA she did which is not a good impression to give. Being "green" she's a cuck so not like I had a positive view going in but I'm not an unreasonable guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get out from under your rock. Trump floated the third party thing to say to the establishment he was bring the fire. In reality he put down at the time people were saying he couldn't do it, that not only would he... but he'd get 1400+ delegates. Everything points to him being completely correct.

Rozalia Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 "let's put parties and differences aside while we solve our problems" Tell me if trump would ever put people's differences aside, I don't think so If thats all you can find that is incorrect then I'd say I was correct enough. Depends what we're talking about here exactly. Trump is very fair on a lot of matters and some of the issues he disagrees with the republicans on he's compromised by saying he'd leave it up to the states. Now if by "putting differences aside" you mean him kowtowing to the Democrats and doing some of their cuck policies to "be fair" then well perhaps he won't be putting such differences aside no. Considering Trump is a "Strongman", one who as seen can control even a hostile media like a puppet... Democrats should perhaps think of "putting differences aside" themselves instead of expecting it from the Donald. Trump will remember any transgressions.

Libertarian - Wants to leave things to the states in a lot of places, and is also in regards to say auditing the fed for example the only hope for such a thing (Libertarians aren't going to achieve that). Socially rational - ??? What is this supposed to mean exactly? Trump is more rational than the raving drooling SJWs so whatever. Honest - Overstated. A lot of his "lying" are comments taken out of context and purposely misunderstood. We only need to see at all the people believing he'll be genociding Muslims in America when all he called was for a temporary ban to work that out. Effective - ??? Thus far no one has been more effective. Bernie has spent more then basically anyone and is going to end up a yuge loser. Trump has spent the least and is going to win overwhelmingly. Smart - Shows your own deficiencies if you think Trump is stupid. He's outplayed everybody and every time they think they have him on something he turns it around. Hate him if you wish, but stupid he ain't. No political history - Seems you've not got the memo. Him not having a political history is a strength, not a weakness. Qualified - What are the necessary requirements/qualifications you need to be president? US born and over 35 years of age. Capable - Yes... a man who destroyed 16 Republicans with ease, will be the most voted for Republican in primaries in history, and has made billions of dollars... isn't capable. Tyrant - Yes, him being elected means the beginning of the Trump Empire. He'll change the rules so he's President for life and make it so the President chooses the next one leading to the first female President, Ivanka, who after many years will pass it Barron Trump who will then declare himself Emperor of America. Racism - Deporting illegals == racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Libertarian-Limited state and fed government You'll never get "purity", not that Libertarian purity is a good thing to begin with. This ad uses it to mean socially left The absolutism that if you're right wing, heavily perhaps, on one issue then... you're right wing completely is dishonest. Trump for example is for federal protection of homosexuals so they aren't discriminated against and has been friendly towards the group for a long time unlike certain other people who change based on what polls/trends say. -90% of the "facts" he states are some degree of inacurrate, don't believe me look it up You should learn pretty quickly that everything is some degree of inaccurate depending on how you look at things. Bankruptcies He never went bankrupt himself. He certainly came close once due to a real estate crash... and then did the greatest financial turnaround in history (it's in the books). The bankruptcies were Chapter 11 reorganisations of 4 of his businesses which if you want to hold him to then you'll have to acknowledge the hundreds of successful businesses he has (so he'd have like a 95% business record). Have you heard anything he said And? If you've swallowed the bankruptcies bit, and I don't doubt this when some Liberal outlets have said he has "practically bankrupted every company he's touched and doesn't know how to do business". They really want people to believe that. How, I want this government run by someone who knows what they are doing -Winning an election and running a country are two completely diffrent thugs Who has experience of being President before being President? No one. According to Clinton she's the closest so I assume you'll be voting for her right? After all "she knows what she's doing". Trump has experience running a massive business. Not quite the same as being a President yes. Gary Johnson has experience being a Governor. Not quite the same as being a President. -I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, I would believe it if it happened have you not heard the large amount of racist and sexist comments he has made Go on, state them. On women the primary thing I remember is him saying to a woman she'll get paid the same as a man if she does as good a job, so equal pay for equal work, something Clinton jumped on and called him an enemy of women for. Now in regards to racism... what are for one, the major one lets say, his racism against Hispanics? Give me some examples please, a very easy task for you I'm sure.

I've challenged you to tell me his racist statements towards Hispanics, something which should be all too easy going by your current talk thus far. Now as for your link... it's crap too. A lot of those statements aren't racist, others are a completely joke, and others hearsay. I already obliterated you but I'll do so again as it's no trouble. Laziness is a trait in blacks.(1991) Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fusion-misattributes-racist-quote-to-donald-trump/article/2567872 Trump never said that. A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advatage of this and that… I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1989-09-13/news/8909133112_1_black-white-people-white-women Whats racist about this exactly? Through affirmative action a black person is advantaged, even more so if they're darn good to begin with. The "racism" here seems to be "Trump didn't say black people all suffer horribly so he's racist". When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. Hispanics do not equal illegal immigrants. If Hilary Clinton can’t satisfy her husban then what makes her think she can satisfy America? Trump is known as quite the shitposter yes. However it's actually a retweet and wasn't actually Trump but a staffer. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Hispanics do not equal illegal immigrants. The Oscars were a great night for Mexico & why not — they are ripping off the US more than almost any other nation. Hispanics do not equal illegal immigrants. [Talking about arabs] They took the oil that when we left Iraq I said we should have taken. Now Isis has the oil. What they don’t have, Iran has. ??? He said ISIS (who are Arab) have the oil, and the rest Iran has (who aren't Arab). The racism is where? [About the transgender Miss USA contestant, Jenna Talackova] I looked at her name, and somebody brought this up to me: “Jennatal.†Those are the first letters of her name. And it’s “genital.†And I’m saying to myself, “Hmm, that’s strange, could there be an ulterior motive?’†I love that one. After the woman was banned for being transgender Trump allows her to compete in his competition... but he's a "transphobe" even though his competition is the only mainstream competition of it's kind to allow transsexuals... all because he made talk about the oddity of the name considering she's a transsexual. I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke. [Just to throw some fatphobia into the mix ??? Really now? That was the first of a couple of tweets he made on Diet Coke/Coke in general which is they make you fat as they make you hungry and such. To label that "fatphobia" is really stretching for a reason to be offended. [After falsely claiming that unemployement was really 18-20%] There are no jobs because China has our jobs, Mexico has our jobs. They all have our jobs. Governments everywhere cook the books on unemployment. China and Mexico indeed have taken many jobs... the racism is where? Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations. It's true. What exactly is racist? I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful. ??? Point it out for me, I assume sexism is what this is being attacked on but... his wife is more beautiful than the rest unless you have a very specific fetish. And if you look at black and African American youth, to a point where they’ve never done more poorly. There’s no spirit. This is just labeling someone racist because they don't sing of the hymn sheet that minorities are completely innocent. While the system has damaged them certainly not enough is done by them to climb out of the hole they're in. Trump stated at the very least he hoped Obama would be able to give that spirit to black youths but as we know Obama has done nothing for black people, less than nothing I'd say actually. On Trump's part he has said he'll do more for them by bringing jobs back from places like Mexico. [On Marriage Equality] It’s like in golf. A lot of people — I don’t want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist. ??? He hates gays? That what this is getting at? [Discussing his daugher] She does have a very nice figure . . . if [she] weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.†??? Man says his daughter is beautiful... is sexist? I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks. Saying Blacks is fine unless someone you don't like says it then it's racist. [Obama’s religion and citizenship] He may have one but there’s something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim. I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t want that. Or he may not have one. I will tell you this: if he wasn’t born in this country, it’s one of the great scams of all time. Talks about how if Obama was a Muslim and not born in the country it'd be a scam. Considering America would never want a Muslim as president and you have to be born in America to be President (some exceptions here) it would be yes. Birthism was started by Clinton, Trump took the lead, it failed and he's moved on. Our great African American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are happily and openly destroying Baltimore! ??? Did Obama have a positive impact on the thugs rioting? [Addressing the attorney of a transgendered woman who was excluded by Trump from the Miss USA pageant.] I think Gloria would be very very impressed with [my penis]. She was later allowed, and the missing context was she said Trump should have to prove he's a "naturally born man", so he said she'd be very impressed by his penis. [speaking about himself in the third person] Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money. ??? Women do find power and money a turn on. As do men for that matter. I’ve read hundreds of books about China over the decades. I know the Chinese. I’ve made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.†He knows how China is culturally and has made a lot of money with China... racism where? All the women on The Apprentice flirted with me–consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected. ??? Where? He was the boss and the guy who decided if they won or lost, so he was the guy they wanted to impress. It is to be expected they acted favourable towards him. Beauty and elegance, whether in a woman, a building, or a work of art is not just superficial or something pretty to see The sexism being the whole "He sees women as objects due to including them with buildings and art". Nonsense. You know, it really doesn`t matter what (the media) write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. It's true. Why should he care what the media shills say about him when he's successful. I bet you make a great wife. But just a great wife. Not a businesswoman and a wife — that doesn’t exist, obviously. That is from what I recall related to his first marriage where an issue to him was while at home he didn't want it to be "Business, Business, Business" as obviously when you're with your partner you expect a break from what you do at work. While I wouldn't say it's impossible as he puts it I'd imagine it's very difficult indeed. [On Liberian immigration] Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S. Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS! Racism being not wanting black people coming to the US I imagine... which is nonsense. If you can treat people in Liberia then why not do it there instead of bringing them to the US and treating them there? It's senseless and risks bringing Ebola to the US. [From the Apprentice]Trump: “Excuse me, you DROPPED to your knees?†Brande: “Yes.†Trump: “It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.†Ah yes, he's a sexist because he said a women dropping to her knees would be quite the picture. Lets remember he said if he wanted to Romney would have dropped to his knees for his (Trump's) endorsement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redael Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 You are clearly ignorant .the Hispanics aren't stealing our jobs, their getting hired, it's captialisim some people get hired some don't, it's not stealing. He was also endorsed by the KKK. He Said one person who I can recall the name of had "blood coming out of her whatever." He wants to Ban all Muslims, including those who don't follow Sarah's law, and read where the Quran says not to commit sucide, although it does say kill "infidels" but the bible says similar things and as a non-fundamentalist Christian I ignore those but if they both say to kill non believers why should he also ban all Christians.

Wow... I think it may well be seen as cruel to keep stumping but whatever lets run you down again. 1: You're doing that (racist) Hispanics == Illegals again. A illegal by virtue of not being supposed to be in the country to begin with is stealing a job if they have one in the country. Oh and no, the jobs they do wouldn't remain empty if they weren't there. Businesses would have to raise wages, hire Americans (Black Americans benefiting the most), and thus make less money. 2: KKK? Duke was a guy Trump disavowed many times (he said Duke was a nasty guy as far back as 2000) before the "incident" which some believe was done so Trump could dominate the media.Clinton meanwhile was also endorsed by a KKK guy (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/26/klan-leader-claims-kkk-has-given-20k-clinton-campa/) and was also famously a good friend of Robert "Exalted Cyclops" Byrd. 3: He wants a temporary ban until they can figure things out. Obama as is well known runs a heavily incompetent protection of the borders (as he likes it), so Trump will need to get that in order quick and a temporary ban helps. Now if said Muslims are of good character and have all the paperwork he has said he'd make an exception. 4: Sarah's law? Sarah's law!? SARAH'S LAW!!? 5: Look kid. I've been very nice thus far and I hate to be rude (though you laughably calling me the ignorant one makes it fair game) but there comes a point where someone needs to tell you a very simple truth. When it comes to these important matters, be it Islam, be it Christianity, be it the isms, and be it politics... you know nothing on such matters. You've been winded up by some very dishonest people and you're here repeating imitations of their very weak points. You've been stumped into oblivion a great many times, learn from that instead of asking for more stumping for your own sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
