And You Claim That Only So Called Angry Old White Guys Like Me Are Supporting Trump

[reason10]

Maybe I'll never understand this analogy but conservatives supposedly stayed home for McCain and Romney but will turn out for a populist?

If you put aside the political labels and just look at the situation and the man, you might be able to comprehend all this.

If there weren't 100 million out of work and a bunch of uneducated and sometimes dangerous illegal aliens streaming across the border, Trump wouldn't be at the top of the polls.

He has managed to corral the new POA sector (Pissed Off America) and they cross all political and ideological lines. It's hard to just dismiss that with the label Populist. If that were the case, then Ronald Reagan was the original Populist. Their campaigns are almost a mirror image of each other.

Honestly I don't know. Eight years ago when he first ran for president I was around 10/11 years old and wasn't really paying attention and the last election I wasn't interested in politics yet. My interest of the presidential politics is because of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul when he was still running. Please don't mistake my disliking and distrust of Trump as being a fan of or as some sort of defense of President Obama, it's not.

I made this prediction about six months ago and it still stands.

The next president is going to be either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. And she gets elected ONLY if THE DONALD is not nominated.

Hillary is going to be Barak Hussein's THIRD TERM.

You don't have to like THE DONALD, but if you don't vote for him, you might as well be supporting an Obama third term.

You should never make decisions out of anger in my opinion, in any situation, but especially when voting for president.

Probably the first and only time you will agree with any thing the Welsh Wanker says!

This is where I'm at. The farther Trump goes along the more uneasy I am with the thought of a Trump presidency. Not because he's politically incorrect or because he's the second coming of Hitler or similar hyperbolic nonsense. It's because I don't trust him because he's not a conservative on too many issues. Or at least he hasn't been in the past.

I do think HE thinks he can make the country great again though. I believe him on that part---he's certainly got the ego to try. Which is a different thing than fundamentally transforming the country into a socialist paradise. I also be surprised if Al Sharpton is welcomed in the WH under a Trump presidency. Great damage has been done to race relations the last seven years under Obama's watch, Hillary will continue it, but I think that tide would be turned under any of the republican contenders.

But if you're a conservative voting for Trump as a defensive measure [like I probably will], know that it's going to be a crap-shoot in terms of policy. Probably have to take the good with the bad but it will beat the alternative by a mile.

For almost a generation now, American 'soft power' has been draining away, and if you elect Trump you will be down to simple bullying military imperialism. That didn't do much for you in Vietnam or Somalia, did it?

 

[Legion Troll]

The rise of Donald Trump in American politics is, in part, fueled by deeply rooted fear and hopelessness that may be caused by an alarming spike in mortality rates for a generation of poorly educated whites.

A legion of less educated, working-class white men has fueled Trump’s rise.

Despite vast wealth and modern medicine, the U.S. has lower average life expectancy than many other nations. And while the average has been increasing recently, the gains are not evenly spread out.

Wealthier Americans are living longer lives, while the poor are living shorter ones.

Poorly educated, middle-aged American white males are particularly affected, multiple recent studies suggest.

While Americans from other age, racial and ethnic groups are living longer lives than ever before, this particularly segment of the population is dying faster.

A study on the issue found that the rising death rate for this group is not due to the ailments that commonly kill so many Americans, like diabetes and heart disease, but rather by an epidemic of suicides, liver disease caused by alcohol abuse, and overdoses of prescription opioids.

Good points.

Your boy got crushed last night. What's your defense of Trump hiring illegals and foreigners to build and work on his properties?

Cawacko the libo.

Trump is a conservative. Trump is a liberal. Trump is a democrat and a republican. He's a lawyer and a bus driver. He's a factory worker and a stock broker. Trump is running as an american.

What is a conservative anymore, Rubio or Bush? You couldn't tell me what it is so please don't bother to try. This is a nationalist movement without the socialism. It's about tearing apart the entire system. It's about republican voters fed up with that system. I't's about democrats without the BS egalitarianism baggage.

Philly steps down from his soap box.

But you'll provide humanity with the only true and correct meaning, won't you?

I'll admit I'm not familiar with the term. What's a libo?

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Rubio is an extremely conservative candidate.

Of course conservatism to a modern ignorant uneducated redneck is hanging minorities and stomping all over the sovereignty of other nations.

You're a revolutionary. What's wrong with stomping on the sovereignty of nations?

yeah.. it's possible. Republican participation this election is through the roof.

The Nevada Republican Party reported Wednesday morning that more than 75,000 voters participated in the contest. While that might not seem like a stunning number in a state with a population of somewhere around three million, that turnout absolutely demolished the participation record from 2012, when only about 33,000 Republican voters showed up to caucus.


In fact, Donald Trump alone captured 34,531 votes in his near-landslide victory in the state, surpassing the total votes cast in the same contest four years ago.

It's a pattern that has played out in each of the previous Republican 2016 contests to date. '


In South Carolina, more than 730,000 voters turned out during Saturday's GOP primary contest, up from about 603,000 in 2012. In New Hampshire, Republicans shattered the 2012 tally of about 248,000 with a turnout of more than 284,000 this year. And in Iowa, Republicans counted more than 180,000 participants, up from about 121,000 in 2012.


On the Democratic side, the story has not been as rosy. After notching record turnouts in the 2008 Democratic primaries during the epic battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the party's participation this cycle has fallen short of those numbers in every nominating contest to date.


Here are those Democratic turnout numbers:

• Iowa 2008: 239,972
• Iowa 2016: 171,109

• New Hampshire 2008: 288,672
• New Hampshire 2016: 250,983

• Nevada 2008: 120,000
• Nevada 2016: 80,000

Rubio is an extremely conservative candidate.

Rubio is an establishment water carrier who lied his way into the senate. He is now the GOP's new anti Trump hope.

Hillary will absolutely slaughter him in the general. She will eat him for breakfast. some do not realize just how powerful the Clinton machine is in this country.
