The Trump thread: All things Donald

Well, when you post https/ you have to remove the s to make it http/.  Aside from that I don't know. I've been having the same problem and assumed I was missing some update on my computer.

Donald Trump continues his campaign against 'crooked media'

Can't blame him.

[phtlc]

I believe he wants to lose. Why else hire one of the crackpots from Breithate?

The new direction will be to appeal to unapologetic nationalism, aka tribalism.  This means all that are not American do not matter and can be treated as the enemy.

Nationalists are often expansionists.

Or now that he knows he's going to lose he's deliberately sabotaging himself so that when he does lose he can say "I meant to do that...I could have won if I wanted".

ELECTION 2016
IT AIN'T OVER
TILL IT'S OVER

Pat Buchanan cites reasons Donald 'I am who I am' Trump has hope

“I did it my way,” crooned Sinatra.

Donald Trump is echoing Ol’ Blue Eyes with the latest additions to his staff. Should he lose, he prefers to go down to defeat as Donald Trump, and not as some synthetic creation of campaign consultants.

“I am who I am,” Trump told a Wisconsin TV station, “It’s me. I don’t want to change. … I don’t want to pivot. … If you start pivoting, you are not being honest with people.”

The remarks recall the San Francisco Cow Palace where an astonished Republican, on hearing the candidate speak out in favor of “extremism in the defense of liberty,” blurted out, “My God, he’s going to run as Barry Goldwater!”

And so he did. And Goldwater is remembered and revered by many who have long forgotten all the trimmers of both parties who tailored their convictions to suit the times, and lost.

Trump believes populism and nationalism are the future of America, and wants to keep saying so. Nor is this stance inconsistent with recapturing the ground lost in the weeks since he was running even with Hillary Clinton.

The twin imperatives for the Trump campaign are simple ones.

They must recreate in the public mind that Hillary Clinton who 56 percent of the nation thought should have been indicted for lying in the server scandal, and who two-thirds of the nation said was dishonest or untrustworthy.

Second, Trump must convince the country, as he had almost done by Cleveland, that he is an acceptable, indeed, a preferable alternative.

While the assignment is simple, as Ronald Reagan reminded us, there may be simple answers, but there are no easy ones.

What is the case against Clinton his campaign must make?

She is a political opportunist who voted for a war in Iraq, in which she did not believe, that proved ruinous for her country. As secretary of state, she pushed for the overthrow and celebrated the assassination of a Libyan dictator, resulting in a North African haven for al-Qaida and ISIS.

Her reset with Russia was a diplomatic joke.

Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network.

Her incompetence led to the death of a U.S. ambassador and three brave Americans in Benghazi, and she subsequently lied to the families of the dead heroes about why they had died.

Her statements about her server and emails were so perjurious they almost caused FBI Director James Comey to throw up in public.

She speaks of Bill, Chelsea and herself as leaving the White House in 2001 in roughly the same conditions of immiseration that the Joads left Dust Bowl Oklahoma in “The Grapes of Wrath.”

But on leaving State, Hillary Clinton was pulling down $225,000 a pop for 20-minute speeches to Goldman Sachs. It’s a long way, baby, from her Children’s Defense Fund days, the recalling of which almost caused Bill Clinton to lose it and break down sobbing at the Philly convention.

What America has in Hillary Clinton is a potential president with the charisma but not the competence of Angela Merkel, and the ethics of Dilma Rousseff.

However, here is the problem for the Trump campaign.

While exposing the Clinton character and record is essential, among the primary rules of presidential politics is that you do not use your candidate to do the wet work.

Eisenhower had Vice President Nixon do it for him. President Nixon had Vice President Agnew, who was good at it and enjoyed it.

Yet, still, on the mega-issue, America’s desire for change, and on specific issues, Trump holds something close to a full house.

The country wants the border secured and immigration vetting toughened to keep out the kind of terrorists who committed the atrocity in San Bernardino.

The country wants an end to the trade deficits with China and the endless export of U.S. factories and manufacturing jobs.

On Americanism versus globalism, the country is with Trump. On an America First foreign policy that keeps us out of trillion-dollar, no-win Middle East wars, the country is with Trump.

On Teddy Roosevelt’s “Speak softly, and carry a big stick,” Ike’s “Peace through strength,” and JFK’s “Let us never fear to negotiate,” the country is with Trump.

Americans may not love Vladimir Putin, but they do not wish to go to war with Russia, which we avoided in half a century of Cold War.

Americans do not want to go nation-building abroad, but to start the nation-building at home. On coming down with both feet on rioters, looters, arsonists and Black-Lives-Matter haters who call cops “pigs,” America is all in with Donald Trump.

As for going after Clinton, the media hysteria surrounding the Donald’s new hire, Steve Bannon of Breitbart News, suggests that this may be a fellow who is not without redeeming social value.

Moreover, outside events could conspire against Clinton.

The coming economic news – we had 1 percent growth in the first half of 2016 – could cause a second look at Trumponomics. And whoever is out there strategically dropping Democratic emails may be readying an October surprise for Hillary Clinton, a massive document dump that buries her.

As Yogi Berra reminded us, the game “ain’t over, till it’s over.”

I guess he had to weed out the obvious Russian Agent from his campaign staff.  But he's still the Siberian candidate.

[Katiebee]

Something to consider, SERIOUSLY consider.

Donald Trump wants to only "look" presidential. This has several points that raise concern.

Firstly, he only wants to look presidential, implying that he is only concerned about appearing to be presidential without actually changing his behavior to that of acting in a responsible, and to his view, boring manner of behavior.

Secondly, he has continually refused to change his behavior from that of a sullen, spoiled 12 year old boy with anger issues. Stating repeatedly that he is what he is.

I would rather not have a spoiled 12 year old as president of the most powerful nation in the world.

Trump is not just spoiled, but he's a bully.

Donald Trump’s New Chief Steve Bannon Called Republican Leaders ‘C**ts’
Steve Bannon had some strong feelings about Republican leadership in Congress two years ago which may complicate any further campaign charm offensives on Capitol Hill.
Betsy Woodruff

Donald Trump’s new campaign boss—the guy white supremacists are so excited about—once described D.C.’s top Republicans as “cunts.”

Stephen Bannon, the Trump campaign’s new chief executive as of  Wednesday, used the phrase two years ago in emails with Breitbart reporter Matt Boyle. Bannon ran Breitbart at the time, and the two schemed about how to get activists to “turn on the hate” as part of a plan to “burn this bitch down.” The emails, obtained by The Daily Beast, are just another reminder that the Trump campaign’s new management is unlikely to play nice with party leaders.

The exchange was on December 16, 2014. In it, Bannon flagged a Roll Call story about a private meeting Rep. Jason Chaffetz held for about a dozen Capitol Hill reporters.

Chaffetz was about to become chairman of the powerful Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and the meeting previewed his plans for the committee.

“Were we invited to this?” Bannon emailed.

Matt Boyle, then a Breitbart reporter and now its Washington Political Editor, replied that he wasn’t.

“To be honest, completely between us, I think Chaffetz is a sniveling little shit and deserves to have his ass kicked in the conservative media,” Boyle continued. “This is something that leads me very heavily in that direction.”

In another email, Boyle went into more detail.

“Again I didn’t get an invite but not sure if they maybe gave one to someone else here or something,” he wrote. “BTW— as for lighting people up in the next few weeks//months we need to be smart about it all. Let’s play the game with brains here, we can’t just kill them all. Let me get some feelers out for how the new congress is gonna work before we annihilate everyone.”

Bannon pushed for a more scorched-earth approach.

“Leadership are all cunts,” he wrote. “We should just go buck wild.”
Then he wrote, “Let the grassroots turn on the hate because that’s the ONLY thing that will make them do their duty.”

Boyle concurred.

“You know I agree,” he replied. “Let’s just not hurt ourselves in the process. If we’re gonna burn this bitch down, to quote the great Louis Head, we need to make sure the fire doesn’t burn us in the process. I’m working on plans with people right now to make it happen.”

[Lois]

I dunno.  Trump does not really want to be President.  He did all this for publicity.  He's actually a Hillary supporter.  I think he wants to make sure others crash and burn with him.

[Gina Marie]

Ein volk, ein Reich, ein Trump!

[ChirpingGirl]

He's actually a Hillary supporter.

If that's true we're so ass fucked lube won't help at all.

A dark future lies ahead with that horrible woman in charge.

[Lois]

I think she will suprise you.    And not in a bad way.

[Lois]

From an article I read, three questions to ask the candidates:

“What specific actions will you take, and what will you ask the American people to do to reverse global climate change and ocean acidification?”

“What specific actions will you take, and what will you ask the American people to do to fix the growing debt of the United States?”

“What specific actions will you take during your campaign and your time in office, and what will you ask the American people to do to help restore the respect and confidence of the American people in their elected government?”

[ChirpingGirl]

I think she will suprise you.    And not in a bad way.

Tell ya what. If she does one fuckin' thing I agree with I'll post on this forum the smart phone video my wife made of me going down on her while she sat on top of our running washing machine.

If she does even one thing.

[None]

Aww... why did you have to go and say something like that? Now I am going to have to start rooting for that woman. Great, just great....
