Up Like Trump

[Nxtblg]

If he gets through he´ll have Hillary Clinton for breakfast. She´s not quick enough, can´t really think on her feet and has about as much charisma as a cod fish. She´s one big mistake but of course they never imagined that Trump would get this far, were counting on some harmless kitten against her.

If so, then the "Donald Trump will be President of the United States" prediction-market contracts are a screaming buy.

Just below the middle of the page, you'll see the derived market price for that bet. As I write this, it's 19.6 cents.

Worth reading: "Secret Trump Voters"

tl;dr: The Donald is benefitting from the "shy Tory factor": folks from the 'wrong' demographics are secretly voting for him - or planning to. Now you know why the secret ballot is fundamental to democracy.

HISPANIC GANG MEMBERS Arrested After Crumpling Trump Yard Sign and Pulling Gun on Trump Supporter



A Georgia man had a gun pulled on him after he confronted three Hispanic youths who tore down and crumpled up his Donald Trump sign.

Mauricio Rodriguez, Hector Ayala, 20, and Alexander Moreno, 17, were arrested on a number of offenses including gang-related charges.

David Grant believes he was targeted because the trio did not believe in Donald Trump’s message.

Can Trump hold his lead if Rubio and Kasich(sp?) drop out.  How is that going to split the vote between Trump and Cruz?  I guess what I'm asking is whether it helps Trump for those other guys to stay in the race.

Greatest GIF ever for common core.  Notice the creepy apparatchik out in the hall keeping an eye on his his charges (both the indoctrinator and the indoctrinatees)?  Substitute him with the more modern form (an algorithm running in some corporate cloud) and you've got common core.

The girl obviously needs some re-education, but that would have been identified and dealt with back in pre-kindergarten.

An interesting BI video: "IAN BREMMER: This is why the world isn’t concerned at all about a President Trump"

I think along the same lines, so that vid does massage my confirmation bias. More to the point, though, Bremmer's all-but-saying that the hystericals shoving around those scare predictions are going to look awfully foolish if Trump becomes President Trump.

There are 2 scary things for me about Trump...

First is all the hate he speaks... for a president to say such things, people will start to think it's ok to beat up a Mexican or Muslim... that's not cool... they things Trump says about Muslims could start WW3 (seriously)

The other thing that scares me about Trump are his policies... he doesn't seem to have any... whenever he is questioned about policies, he either gives a stupid answer or changes the subject entirely

None of what you have said is remotely near the truth.

First for his policies, please look at his website.

Second for Mexicans and Muslims, there is no hate speech.  None.  Zip. Nada.  Look at his actual words, don't believe the scare mongers whose only goal is just to get Hitlery into the job.

Muslims certainly could start WW3, but not things people say about Muslims.

Trump backs out of debate with Bernie Sanders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqLbpLCw4Vw

Trump is a street smart operator, but he lacks intelligence, judgement, and political experience.

The guy can barely talk.  "Wonderful people, great people, amazing people etc.."  He reminds me of a polished version of George W.
Christie or Rubio are much better public speakers.

When Trump talks, Christie just wants to jump in and stop him 

If establishment wants to stop Trump, they need to fund/buy Sanders.  Trump will mop the floor with Hillary.
She has too much baggage.

But before we go there, I think they might stop Trump, nominate Cruz or Romney.  But if Trump gets too much support
they will have to cave in, otherwise they will risk a split within the party.  That is how new parties are born.

"New Republicans"  anyone?  I think multi-party system would be healthy for democracy, but we don't have it because it is much
harder to control the whole election process.  And the corporate establishment is all for control.  They need someone who would not rock the boat too much.

Here was an interesting comment on that vid:

Strategic on Trump's part.  Trump probably plans to use certain of Bernie's ideas when running against Hillary.  It is not in his interest to argue against these at this juncture.  Quintessential Establishment, Inc. Clinton loses badly to Trump thanks in part to Sander's supporters.  If the Republicans cannot figure out a way to get rid of Trump I suspect that Hillary will quietly exit stage left (possible at any time due to the e-mail issue) and someone else will be plonked in.  Not Sanders obviously.  Probably Biden.

[galdur]

If they try to screw Trump he can always start a third major political party. With something that serious hanging over them they´ll fall into line. He has a way too big following to be messed with.

It is all about delegates right now and if they can keep diluting the field, he will not get 1237 number.

If he does not get 1237 delegates, then they will deny him the nomination.
Have someone like Romney run again, just to lose.  Hilary will be the next president.

Florida and Ohio are a must wins for Trump. If he does that, he will be around 600-620 mark, still a long way to go.  The worse would be if Florida goes to Rubio and Ohio to Kasich.  You don't want to end up with 900/800/300/400 distribution.  As long as Cruz stays close and Trump is denied 1237, party elders will not nominate Trump.

Well, again he has some very strong trumps up his sleeve. If he comes out of the primaries with the most delegates they´ll accept it. Or face the consequences which I think it´s unlikely that they´ll be interested in.

Study: 76 percent of attack ads target Trump


Seventy-six percent of the estimated 9,200 political attack ads that ran over the past seven days took aim at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a new study says.
 
A coalition of conservatives committed to stopping Trump blanketed the nation with 7,000 TV ads over the last week directly attacking him, according to figures published Tuesday by the Center of Public Integrity (CPI).

It´s true, those attacks just backfire. Create sympathy for the one being attacked, especially for a teflon guy like Trump.
