The General Election

[Whistlebritches]

 

 

Shark, you just did what is Trump's response to criticism in a bottle: he resorts to ad hominem attacks and tries his best to undermine the integrity and honesty of the source of the criticism. He rarely ever address the criticism itself, he just tries to slander whoever is levying it as dishonest or disgusting or what have you.

 

At what point does reporting a candidates own words and actions become disgusting and dishonest? It seems to me that particular line of a attack has a distinct fascist flavor to it. It's dishonest and disgusting simply because he doesn't like it.

 

Here is a brief history of Trump's stifling of free press during this election cycle.

 

I simply don't see it the same way as you. I've made my point multiple times in this thread, as well as the Republican election thread, and I'd be better off talking to a plant. It's funny what you say, because that's the only form of response I've gotten. No one knows why they think what they think, but they criticize my views because on this board, they're not popular. It's bullsh*t, but whatever.

 

I'm sorry he's not politically correct enough to fit into the narrow little "presidential" box that people expect him to fit into, but that's exactly his appeal to people right off hand. I've spelled out my understanding of his weaknesses, but his strengths far outweigh his weaknesses IMO. Sorry the radical opinions on this board (or however you could categorize it) don't accept that and decide to respond to me in excessively harsh ways. You people are allowed to have your opinions, but I'm tired of being sh*t on for supporting Trump. I (and millions of others in this country) think that people who support Bernie or Hillary are idiots too, so... Not sure what to say to closed-minded, overly PC people...

 

 

Shark-I wouldn't worry too much about some of the lefties on here. They have the same fear of Trump now that we had of Obama in 2008. We said Obama would expand the size and scope of government, increase government dependence, and make us less safe against terrorism, and unfortunately all of that has come to fruition. The leftists are afraid of the country moving back to a center-right nation and will continue to demonize Trump as much as possible. Now I don't agree with some of Trump's provocative statements, but I know he'll be a thousand times better than Hillary.

 

But that's not it at all. Trump is a loud mouth jackass that has a tenuous grasp of the truth and people can't understand how he's this close to becoming the next POTUS. If Kasich, Johnson, Rubio, or even Bush were the nominee we would be talking about actual issues. We fear Trump becoming the President because he's not qualified for the job.

Dude - if sharing links to fact based information is treating you "excessively harsh", and you feel you're being sh*t on I have no words. There has been little to no aggressive talk here - the moderators have made sure of it. You've been treated as well as your ilk has created the "leftists PC people"

 

And, "closed minded" might be the pot calling the kettle black. If either side feels that their comments will change the mind of the others we're all high. Folks that aren't sure of their politics aren't logging into these threads. God help us if someone on the fence comes to the HuskerBoard threads for that purpose.

And nearly half the country felt in 2008 a one-term Senator that had no real world job experience was qualified to be out POTUS and these past 7 years have proven he was not ready for the job. Meanwhile, Hillary is a one-term Senator that had no major accomplishments in that role (unless you count voting for the Iraq war an accomplishment) and was one of the worst and most deceptive secretary of states we've ever had.

Don't you think it's a lie if he borrows money knowing that he won't be able to pay it back and then negotiates for a lower payment?

That is quite possible the slimiest of slime ball business practices I have ever seen someone publicly brag about.

No, because your perception of it isn't true. When that situation has happened to him in the past, he doesn't borrow knowing up front that he won't be able to pay back the debt. But sometimes when taking large risks, sh*t happens. I know the average person doesn't want to hear that, but it happens all the time, and not just with Trump. Why? Because these big business people are the job creators. Without them, we would either be a socialist country, or we would simply have even less "good jobs" to go around.

 

Ummmm.....

 

"I am the king of debt. I do love debt. I love debt. I love playing with it," Trump said.

"Do you believe that we, in terms of the United States, need to pay a hundred cents on the dollar, or do you think that there's actually ways that we can renegotiate that debt?" CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him.

"Yeah, I think — look, I have borrowed, knowing that you can pay back with discounts. And I have done very well," Trump said. "I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal, and if the economy was good, it was good, so, therefore, you can't lose."

 

It's his own friggen words. He borrows knowing damn well their's a good chance he won't be paying it all back.....But....hey.....he's done very well.

 

Friggen slime ball.

 

Hey....why don't we hire a bunch of people to do work....we don't need to actually pay them when they are finished.

 

 

Here's the issue with Trump worshipers. They are absolutely so brain washed by this phony act that even after they are shown the idiot's own words they don't believe it.

[BigRedBuster]

I have no idea what kind of garbage some people on this board are reading and watching in order to draw their opinions... It's freaking unreal honestly, and it's a total mind-f*ck on a daily basis...

Again.....we present his own words and facts and this is what you come back with????

The debates are going to get ugly. Trump has already tried to smear Hillary for Bill's infidelities. Does Hillary bring up Donald's cheating/raping?

Obama is likely to go down as one of the better presidents in U.S. history, certainly ahead of the last three presidents we had. Better than the likes of Ford and Grant. Obama has been nowhere near perfect, but he has had several objectively good accomplishments. So, this notion that he has proven himself inadequate over the last 7 years is very misleading, and this is coming from a person who didn't even vote for him in '08.

Judging or ranking presidents is very inaccurate until 20- 25 years have elapsed. You need time to assess how actions worked out in the long run, for emotions to mellow. JFK had his ranking go down with time and Truman's went up.

Obama currently issuing a takedown on the idiots who get hung up on the language he uses in dealing with terrorism. Fantastic stuff to finally see him come out and tell them to STFU.

I agree with the other posters comments that you must give time before doing a full evaluation of Presidents, but judging by what I have seen these past 7 years, I think Obama will go down as one of the worst we've had in modern times. What "objectively good" accomplishments has he delivered on? I think we are likely to see in the next 5 to 10 years just how bad his approach to foreign policy and terrorism has been. We've already seen 2 homeland attacks in the past 10 months. And CBO projections from his spending are expected to jump drastically in the coming years.

[HuskerNation1]

The debates are going to get ugly. Trump has already tried to smear Hillary for Bill's infidelities. Does Hillary bring up Donald's cheating/raping?

 

Here is the point you are missing. Hillary knew of Bill's infidelities and abuse of other women and played an active role in smearing these women and/or covering up what happened to protect her political future. So when she attacks Trump for being bad for women, Trump will continue to respond with Hillary's actions that have been bad for women.
