Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?

Here is a portion of one of Trump's speeches:



Now this individual is proposed to receive the nuclear trigger...
And the other "option" is someone who clearly has a price on policy. I'm honestly not sure which is worse other than HRC has actually made the call that affected American lives before. I can say that I am appreciating the words in the Declaration of Independence more than ever before...


" But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future"

Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?

if it's performance art, i'd have to say it's pretty good. it's been in andy kaufmann territory for a while ;)
I've thought it's a little similar to Joaquin Phoenix's fake retirement. You had a feeling that he was playing everybody for suckers, but it was possible that the dude was really bat-crap crazy.

Forgive me. I've seen his name often but never any of his material. I've even heard Trump compared to him before. I need to look him up.

Yes, definitely similar. Trump just needs a ragged beard and sunglasses.

Some of his stuff was funny because it was so off the wall and he seemed to be to be relatively unprepared and so uncomfortable doing it. Case in point...

Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?

Media distortion of the day. Will use example. Let's say one of us had to mow the yard in the next two weeks and I blurted to you, "I'm not mowing the yard! And you look at me, bite your tongue to save for another day, and we then go on discussing other things. If asked, you could honestly say we did not have a discussion on who was going to wow the yard, no matter what I said.

Trump said they did not when asked by press, then Mexican President tweets 'I told him we are not paying for wall'

I saw this spin coming hours ago and mentioned to friends that it would arrive heavily thin and distored.

None of that matters except to those who have an agenda other than considering who will be the best candidate for our next president.

It was a successful meeting and one that many pundits are still scratching their heads about. It's not too surprising though given how poorly the media does in covering important issues.

Trump's been dealing with international leaders for half his life. For him, this is like a business meeting. It was an important step forward for the candidate.

Good commentary, although you are preaching to the choir :). I brought this up because media manipulation is still not common knowledge. What percentage of people know for example that Google (Been proved) manipulated their keyword associations in the Google News algorithm, and tweaked Auto Suggest to bring forth articles biased towards one of two candidates. And it was easily verified by doing cross searches vs Yahoo and Bing, it was blatant. What is shoved in front of your face and what is beat into your ears does have an effect, it is part of being a human. I take these things seriously and have been for several years. Good News is there has been an awakening the past 3 years and I hope many use as many sources as they can, which is why the Google incident bothered me, that is like rigging the library.
