President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Erdogan has strong-armed just about any opponent is response to the “coup attempt.” He’s bought a Russian radar system, over the objections of NATO and the U.S., and is threatening to buy Russian jets. Erdogan invaded northern Syria and, quite likely, his forces committed war crimes.

Yet, Trump still welcomes him to the White House.

I think that there might be a pretty good chance that our president doesn’t quite grasp the concept of the traditional Thanksgiving-season pardoning of the Turkey.

 

Absolutely. If the DNC hadn't sold its soul to her in 2008 and run pretty much any other human on the planet (maybe not Bernie), Trump would not have won.

 

I don't know about that. He managed to beat out a GOP field full of bland, non-threatening opponents. Sure, plenty of people voted for him because they wouldn't vote for her no matter what; but a lot of people simply wanted to vote for the bombastic charlatan and shit-stirrer.

 

Oh for Christ's sake. There was an extended primary campaign and Clinton won the most votes by a considerable margin. Biden chose not to run because of his son's death. The DNC, a body of startling irrelevance, had no effect on the nomination at all except in the fevered brains of the more paranoid Sanders' supporters and/or Hillary haters. Maybe she wasn't the best candidate, but she was the candidate chosen by the Democratic voters of this country in a series of elections. So blame them.

 

And so died the meme...

 

She was also chosen by 3 million more voters in the general but yeah she’s the reason we are in this mess. Smh

 

Continuing to talk about the Goddam general election is like losing a football game 28-10 and constantly mentioning you put up more total yards than your opponent. It doesn't matter. She wooed people of California to vote for her. Lovely. Meanwhile, in the states that mattered they either voted for him or avoided doing it altogether, kind of like how she avoided Wisconsin.

 

Now do Warren and Harris and Yang and O'Rourke and Klobuchar and Booker and Castro and Bloomberg and Steyer . . .

 

Do you realize that 2015 was four years ago? All those functioning adults had a choice, and they chose not to run because they didn't think they could beat Clinton. Maybe they were wrong, but again, that's on them, not her. The Clinton haters are always and forever telling on themselves.

 

Yeah, it's not like Clinton had ever lost a primary before.
