Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

For people who believe it is their God-given right to be assholes to everyone without recrimination, Trump supporters sure are a bunch of thin-skinned, whiny bitches.

 

If you go by the polls, Clinton made an understatement. But white people being bigoted assholes is not something other white people can deal with at all, so they don't like the fact brought up. I warned the Trump backers on this board they were heading into a very dark place. You own the racism and all-around hate that's in that campaign now. Denial it exists is delusional.
If Trump wins, you will own it even more.

 

it's just Clinton calling it as she sees it.

 

Clinton isn't wrong on this. But when she
says something anti-PC, the anti-PC crowd is offended. Shocking.

Trump stokes racism and hatred. That's your guy. Own it.

 

She's not wrong, but she's also got to be a savvy enough politician to know bad mouthing voters never pays off. It didn't help Romney nor Obama when they did it. Say bad things about Trump, don't attack the public.

 

She shouldn't apologize.

 

The people she was dissing will never, ever vote for her. If other while people won't vote for her because she told the truth about white people who aren't them, that's their problem. Here's a candidate attacked constantly for dishonesty and more accurately for parsing her words at the expense of meaning. So she tells a blunt truth and that's a mistake, too. Jake, she had to know how this would play out, and she didn't care. It's possible she sees Trump and the folks she dissed as a real threat to the country. Should she shut up about it. or take a stand?

 

Hi YF!

 

Stay out of their waters?

 

I think there are people who decided eight, 16, 20 years ago they never would vote for Hillary, but now have to reconsider because of her opponent. Those people could hold their nose and vote for the Republican nominee or vote third party or not vote at all or maybe decide she's the better choice even if they don't like her. I really don't think it's smart for her to risk pissing those people off, even if she's right about a good chunk of Trump voters.

Romney's 47 percent comment didn't help him. Obama's "guns and religion" line didn't help him. This won't help her. It probably won't cost her the election, but she's better off attacking Trump himself, not voters. It doesn't matter that she's right or that Trump is graded on a more generous curve than she is. She's better off not coming across as though she looks down on voters.

 

I understand this thinking, but I also think we need to focus on the truth. Let's not forget that when Trump first announced, he was a national joke. As soon as he started making blatant appeals to bigotry (Mexicans are rapists, his anti-Muslim remarks, etc) he shot to the top of the Republican heap. That's his core support, and there are a lot of them. They are as big a problem as he is, because he'll go away if he loses, but they won't.

 

@BTExpress, is that you?
