DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Trump and the GOP: An Historical Perspective

I'm not going to try to sell him to you, as your mind is already made up.

"I won't even try to sell you my product; instead, let's talk about how lousy the competitor's product is..."

Seems Clem and Pit need to follow the same advice they give on Trump. Stop running down one candidate and tell us what is good about the candidate they support.

Isn't that exactly what you are doing when it comes to Trump?

Don't try to convince me that I'm wrong... convince me that you're right. Bring some compelling arguments/data, and I can change my mind. I've done it before.

You wanna know about my thoughts on the other candidates? Start a thread.

So far he has garnered around 40% of one party. I'm not sure you can call that a huge success to this point.

It would be interesting to see what the numbers would have been if he hadn't been competing against 10 people for the first couple months.

If you haven't noticed yet, I will be voting for the lesser of two evils again. I suspect most will. I already know what we will get with hillary, and I'm pretty sure what we would get from bernie. I like neither. At least trump is unknown in what he will do, but if he secures the borders and stops the lousy trade deals, I think we'll be better off.

His margin in the popular vote over his next closest opponent is about the same as Hillary's margin over Bernie..

And head to head, Hillary still beats him. Bernie still beats him.

Oh, what an amazing thing Fact Check is...



Clinton leads Trump by just 3 points in new poll

40, I'm not you. I don't speak lies.

But yo, could you start fact checking your own posts? Or just stop posting. Whichever one.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has 46 percent compared to Trump's 43 percent

Read it and weep there CHS. Hillary leads Trump by a 3 little points.

The truth shall set you free.

46 percent + 43 percent = 100 percent *scratching my head* just who in the hell is doing that math?

I'm not going to try to sell him to you, as your mind is already made up. It's obvious I couldn't sell him to you if he came with a solid gold toilet. But I will take some of your points and refute them.

3 wives. So? Is it better to stay together in a marriage that isn't working, or to move on? (see bill and hillary) My wife and I have been married for 19 years. She's my only wife, and I'm her 2nd husband. Should I not have married her for having a failed marriage before?

4 bankruptcies. Again, so? Did he do something illegal in these filings? He has around 500 successful businesses that are employing a lot of people. He followed the laws to declare bankruptcy on the businesses that didn't work out. It's better than embezzling money from real estate ventures.

Inflammatory campaign rhetoric. And the candidate who never used inflammatory rhetoric is holding what office right now? Your local high school's SCA maybe? His opponents don't have handlers or washington insiders?

Mccain isn't a war hero. Made up again. What I heard is that just because you got tossed in a POW camp, it doesn't make you a war hero. McCain was, but he has since sullied his reputation with ABScam and other fiascoes.

Childish name calling. Really? I seem to remember obama joking john mccain for not being able to use a computer. He can't type because his arms were broken several times in the POW camp, so he doesn't use a computer. They all do it, they have all always done it. You are using selective hearing.

Mocking handicapped. See above about obama. "Stand up, Chuck" is another one of my favorites. Also, as I recall, the mocking incident you reference is made up by the liberal media.

Petty late night tweets. At least he answers his phone at 3am, instead of sneaking off to a fund raiser. Where was hillary at 3am?

That list you make is shared by all of them. Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of any of them. When I see the true constitutional conservative, I'll let you know.

But no, you won't try to sell him to anyone...LOL

3 marriages means he's just not capable of making sound decisions., Once is one thing, 3 times,,, that's a horse of a different color.

I don't think he broke any bankruptcy laws, but he ruined thousands of lives and destroyed many small businesses in the process. Where is the character in that?

He is childish and a bully. there isn't much of an argument you can make there. All the baby type name calling stuff.. What a freakin idiot..

Vote for him or don't.. that's a call you and others have to make.

Actually, 3 wives tells me he's impulsive in his choice of women. On the flip side of that, he still has good relations with the prior two wives and children from those marriages. His choices in business tells me he does make good decisions, as he's worth $10 billion.

Would you keep a business open when it's failing to the detriment of everyone around you, just to keep people employed? I've worked for two companies that sold to a conglomerate when the owner thought it was the best deal for him and his family, and watched the companies go downhill after he sold. Should I hold it against the former owner forever?

Childish and a bully? Do you pay attention to any of the other politicians out there? They all do it. Trump is more transparent when he does it. He says what he's thinking instead of euphemizing an insult to make it sound nice. He's just more brash in his insults than the others, who are so PC it's disgusting.

It will be fun to watch if Trump wins, the democrats in congress will morph into what the republican congress has been for 7 years....

It won't be fun for me. This past 7 years have been an endless source of anger and futility.

It won't be fun for me. This past 7 years have been an endless source of anger and futility. 4-8 more years of this would be enough to just about destroy us.
