#2. "RE: That Awkward Moment When One Nobel Peace Prize Winner Bombs Another" In response to jazz4free (Reply # 1)
For a man who claims "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters", groping beautiful women can only vicariously thrill his red-blooded male supporters, and maybe some of his female supporters as well.
He will lose few, if any, voters but he won't gain any either.
It's time for the RNC to publically disavow Trump, cut their losses, and focus on what they're good at, namely frustrating the goals of Democratic administrations.
#5. "RE: Obama Public Comments More Offensive Than Trump, Media Ignored It Completely" In response to Snyderman (Reply # 4)
Seriously? You're using that as your "news source"? You're even more deluded than I thought. I actually loaded that site up (in an incognito tab so it wouldn't register as a site I actually *WANTED* to go to). Among the various laughable claims the article makes is that Obama is a Kenyan who stole someone's SSN to fake being an American. If this is the quality of material you take as fact, then you're just completely and totally deluded.

Groping is sexual assault which is a criminal offense. Trump has boasted (what a shock) live and on the record about groping (not just once but serially) which is sexual assault which is a criminal offense. Groping (grabbing pussy, as Mr. Trump so genteelly puts it) is sexual assault which is a criminal offense. GROPING IS SEXUAL ASSAULT WHICH IS A GODDAM CRIMINAL OFFENSE!!! GROPING...cough cough... Damit, I'm getting hoarse.
Trump admitting to committing sexual assault (only God and his lawyers with the piles of cash Trump has stolen and the non-disclosure agreements he has bullied people into signing know exactly how many times this has happened), this is breaking news, now, at this moment in time, today. At other times, on other days, other things were breaking news: Pee Wee Herman's masturbatory proclivities, Anthony Weiner's obsession with his photogenic weiner, Monica and the cigar and dress, Hitler's infatuation with his Alsatian -- your man crush on The Donald? Indulge me in an aside: It occurs to me you're a victim of sorts yourself. Kinda like the battered woman who (after the creep who beats her brings flowers and promises to be nice) keeps forgiving the sick bastard until he finally puts an end to her delusion by beating the poor woman to death.
Now, if you and your lunatic-fringe buddies want to hang around and play footsie with this out-of-control grease fire called Trump, have fun, enjoy. The rest of us are fed up with trying to explain this insane shit to our children and grandchildren. It's just too much to keep up with.
SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!!! Godamit!!!! Can't that apparently (deliberately?) obtuse brain of yours summon enough resources to differentiate between admitting to deviant criminal behavior and engaging in adult conversation and friendly banter?
You are either emotionally ill or terminally stupid. I'd bet on a combination of both.
Colorful banter is "I'd like to (crude term for sleep with) that woman" or "Look at the (crude term for physical attributes) she has." It's demeaning and bad, but not illegal.
What Trump said was that he walked up to women and kissed them without asking for permission. Then he said he grabbed them - again without permission - in a private location of their body that nobody should ever touch without consent. The video shows him bragging that he can get away with it because he's a star. So he's using his position of power to assault women. Yes, this is assault.
If I were to walk up to a random woman on the street and start kissing/groping her, you can bet I'd be (rightfully) arrested. The only thing that kept Trump out of jail was that he had the money and power to either settle lawsuits quietly or make these women's lives a living hell if they complained. Sometimes, these women would be in the middle of business dealings with Trump and would be forced to decide whether to call him on his behavior and risk their company's deal or ignore his behavior for the sake of thei deal. Trump, of course, knew this (he's not stupid) and would take advantage of the situation.
The man is a narcissistic bully, plain and simple.
It's not hypocrisy. You responded to my "why is it OK with you that Trump brags about sexually assaulting women" with links to dubious sources that claim that other people do this too. It doesn't matter who else does it. (And Trump's debate defense of "ISIS does worse so let's stop talking about bad things I do" won't fly either.) We're talking about the nominee for President of the United States.
Time was, the Republican Party was the party of family values and any candidate with even a hint of marital infidelity would be tossed out. Trump is bragging about sexually assaulting women while married with a child on the way. If the GOP was still sane, he would have been kicked out long ago. Unfortunately, the "crazy wing" now runs the show and the sane Republicans are either fleeing the party, have already fled, or are trying to play along the best they can to hold onto their political office.
You exist in a strange alternate universe. You are incapable of realizing that Trump will be defeated as everyone else realizes, INCLUDING Trump
The Senate will definitely be controlled by the Democrats, Republicans are praying they can hold on to the House, which looks increasingly doubtful, something a month ago I thought was impossible.
Keep believing that any poll showing Trump losing is faked no matter how many or how reputable the pollster or how, in 2012, Republicans claimed that the polls needed to be "unskewed" up until election results showed they were accurate. Keep believing that easily hacked Internet polls are perfectly accurate. It doesn't change the fact that Trump is losing badly.
No, You will see, and when you do, you might consider taking advantage of some more education. As it is, you refer to websites any educated person would consider worthless.
It is really hard for ne to believe you have anything above a primary school education. Probably not entirely your fault. The world is not as you would like to believe it is.
I know that many on the extreme right look down upon people having an education. They'll call people "intellectual elites", will deride scientists/teachers/etc for daring to be educated, and will push for their uneducated, unfounded "theories" to be given the same standing as science that has plenty of data backing it up.
Then again, reality has a well-known liberal bias.
#36. "RE: Donald Trump has come from behind to take lead over Hillary Clinton" In response to Snyderman (Reply # 35)
That's one poll from a source that tends to favor the Republican candidates. I use Electoral-Vote.com which compiles polls from many different sources and averages them out. This helps reduce the possibility that one poll can make it seem like Candidate A is winning when Candidate B is actually in the lead. And, yes, they apply that to polls showing Hillary is leading as well as to polls showing Trump is leading. They are about good methodology, not about pushing the person on any one party.
Going by this website (and disregarding "Barely Dem/GOP" states as those could flip with every other poll that comes in), Hillary has 269 electoral votes - enough to at least tie. Meanwhile, Trump has 185 electoral votes. As of right now, 9 states are in play - New Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada. Trump needs to win all 9 to push the vote to the House (where he would likely win thanks to Republicans dominating the House). If Hillary wins just one of those states (and 6 of them are currently trending blue), she wins the Presidency. So while Trump isn't out of the running, his chances of winning are dropping fast.
