Braunsberg Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Benghazi. Again, Benghazi. Fair enough. Yes, Benghazi: in which the Congressional committee, in its multiple investigations, found that neither Secretary of State Clinton nor President Obama were at fault for the tragedy. One could argue that dodging the draft was a wise decision. The fact that Trump dodged the draft through his being a student isn't necessarily a bad thing. What is bad is the fact that Trump denounces the respect given to John McCain, who suffered quite a lot, and Trump never set foot in Vietnam. Or the military at all, as far as I know. 1 Quote "Bibant, quoniam edere nolunt." ~ "Let them drink, since they do not wish to eat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what John McCain is respected for. He was held as a POW for 5 years, two of which were solitary confinement, and he was constantly tortured for that entire time. I too have very left-wing views when it comes to warfare, but John McCain isn't respected for killing people, he's respected for enduring torture for so long.

Oh, you mean the damage control party? > implying military, a complicit body in the enforcement of harmful and exploitative foreign policies made by people who see dead soldiers as no more than an expense deserves any respect. >greentext outside of 4chan or fullchan Really?

Thalmor Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Even after his remarks about Mccain, Trump is even further ahead in the polls. http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1170a22016Politics.pdf As I said earlier in this thread, social media (by itself) isn't the best source of political information. Nevertheless, on Facebook, whenever I see new's articles coming out against Trump, the highest ''liked'' comments are always the ones defending Trump. I've seen this on both The Blaze (Which is Conservative, yet often disagrees with mainstream Republics) and ABC news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this on both The Blaze (Which is Conservative, yet often disagrees with mainstream Republics) and ABC news. That poll was conducted between Thursday and Sunday, so it largely does not reflect the remarks Trump made against McCain....as pointed out in the poll. The poll also mentions that "Trump's support was conspicuously lower Sunday than in the previous three days". There is no positive spin for the timing of the drop in support on Sunday. The poll caught the fallout from his comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalmor Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) That poll was conducted between Thursday and Sunday, so it largely does not reflect the remarks Trump made against McCain....as pointed out in the poll. The poll also mentions that "Trump's support was conspicuously lower Sunday than in the previous three days". There is no positive spin for the timing of the drop in support on Sunday. The poll caught the fallout from his comments. That still doesn't change the fact that Republicans and Conservatives are overwhelming behind him- despite the fact that almost every mainstream Republican is working against him. Here are some Facebook pages that show that Trump is overwhelming supported: Herman Cain's page: https://www.facebook.com/THEHermanCain/posts/10153553482719170?comment_tracking={%22tn%22%3A%22O%22} https://www.facebook.com/THEHermanCain/posts/10153554970729170 The Blaze's Page: https://www.facebook.com/theblaze/posts/939789469391727 https://www.facebook.com/theblaze/posts/939565216080819 John Mccain's Page: https://www.facebook.com/johnmccain/posts/10153519833623707 https://www.facebook.com/johnmccain/posts/10153503561723707 Rick Perry's Page: https://www.facebook.com/GovernorPerry/posts/10153441309205409 https://www.facebook.com/GovernorPerry/posts/10153440884785409 It's thousands upon thousands of people coming together across several different areas of the internet stating their support for Trump. As I have have twice now, I understand social media isn't the best compass here, but you can't just rub that off as nothing.

Warren Harding Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't care about Facebook or any other social media outlets. It is totally irrelevant. I will admit that I have liked every candidate and every likely candidate, whether or not I would support them. I am sure that i am not alone in doing that. I even "like" Barack Obama, but i would never cast a vote for him. A Facebook like doesn't always translate into votes. Did you even read the link to the poll? It says that 62% will not support Donald Trump. That is largely before the McCain comments were made. The poll also shows that 31% of Republican and Republican leaning independents would not support him if Trump were the nominee. Again, no one can put a positive spin on those numbers. His numbers really suck. The only good number is 24% support (again, largely before the McCain comments). But let's look at that number a little closer....1 out of 4 support him.....76% favor someone else. Now, what happens to Bush's supporters if he drops out tomorrow? They are not going to flock to Trump. Same is true for Walker, Paul, and most of the others. Trump would only benefit (if he lasts that long) if Cruz or maybe Carson drops out. I never really saw a path to victory for Trump...even before the McCain comments. He is just a "fad" candidate....here today and gone tomorrow.
