President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

C'mon Michael. This is wrong.

I defend you, despite you occasionally going off the rails, but this is really bad.

 

This is true. I like Schmidt and find him an entertaining speaker, and I spent many hours on busses enjoying his wit and commentary. But Palin is on him, and that is a big fucking stain.

 

Is Eric the ugly Trump son, or the really ugly Trump son?

 

Eric is the one who looks like he should have been named Don Jr.

 

Just a prediction. That's all. What goes around comes around. Some of these pathetic losers are going to try to act out their violent fantasies and they will be met with violence. Whose fault is that if it happens? Mine? CNN's? Might not happen, seeing as Trump rallies are more gestalt therapy than political events. If there's no violence, then nothing bad will happen, and that's good. But if it does, there'll be no question who started it.
PS: In 1962, at the riots when James Meredith was admitted to Ole Miss, a reporter was attacked and killed. There's a history here, and it didn't start with me saying that if people decide to get violent they run the chance of dying by it, and that the choice was on them.

 

ID to buy groceries!?!

 

Typefitter-
Democrats seem to think the Schmidts and Scarboroughs are now on their side. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc.
Joe S. is a pro-life evangelical (who also seemed to be chummy with the president until the cretin publicly insulted his wife's appearance) and Schmidt is a Reagan conservative.
You give these guys a Bush- or McCain-level candidate and they will be right back to promoting the policies that have snowballed into this.

 

What if they die in a fire?

 

Damn, Breitbart is barely trustworthy to the Rs surveyed, and liberals trust the WSJ far more than conservatives. Crazy.

 

Absolutely. I think Trump has broken down old party lines—GOP vs. Democrat, Right vs. Left—into Trump vs. Anti-Trump forces. Right now, the anti-Trumpers will take anyone they can get. Trump's strategy (I don't think he thinks in terms of strategy, but whatever) is that his core will remain dumb loyal, and so long as he keeps about 40 percent of the total voting population on side, the other side will be so fractured, from Scarborough on one side to Socialists on the other, that they won't be able to muster a sustained and successful challenge. He knows that everyone who hates him will never agree on whom they love. So he wins.
