Actually, I'm glad you bring up the Purple Heart comment. Unsurprisingly you frame Trump as the victim. Either out of habit or just being unaware of the real situation. Yes, people are mad that Donald Trump took a "Purple Heart" but more people are upset that Donald Trump lied about the whole ordeal (Surprising, I know). Trump originally claimed it was a real purple heart even though he was told by the person who gave it to him that it was a replica and wasn't the real award. So Trump goes out there and lies about getting an original and he makes a big deal that it's real. So of course, when the guy who gives it to him, tells us, like he told Donald, that the purple heart was a replica, people got mad that Trump against once lied to them and tried to play them all like fools.

Trump's actually a funny dude. Very smart too. I don't know how well read he is, but he's certainly read The Art of War. He takes everything he does from those 90 or so axioms. If you read the Art of War and then listen to Trump, you'll be able to tell. He is very much the living embodiment of, "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

Again, very smart dude.


Kinda like I said: Trump was screwed not matter what he did with that purple heart, real or not.

Accept it, he gets dumped on by the media. Decline it, he'd get dumped on by the media.

And when the Nazis took over they began deregulating industries. Fascism is born in both the left and the right, however it does trend more towards the right. Follow the writings of Mussolini and you'll see.

Well you mentioned Muslims from war zones.

As if being in a war zone makes them inherently bad.

Yes, but he chose neither of those and decided to lie about the entire ordeal.

That's not the question I asked you, stop deflecting.

Does living in a war zone make you inherently bad? Answer the damn question.

It is nice.

And in neither one is it stated the purple heart trump was given was a replica.

Next.

Edited to add: Links that it wasn't the actual medal?

So you're still not answering?

You said Hillary wants to flood people from war zones, correct?

So I'm asking you, what's the problem?

Yeah, cause todays poll matters in November, right?

I have no doubt hillary will win. Sucks ass for us all, whether you want to admit it or not. trump can't go against hillary and all her money, bought and paid for crap, he can't overcome the media, he can't shut his mouth............and gary johnson aint't anywhere to be heard from.

Give the election to the lying, using, "all about me" woman, Ms. Clinton. After all, "what difference does it make"?, right?

What are you talking about?

Trump is getting free publicity. He's going toe to toe just fine.

Trump will lose the election because he will get toasted in the debates.

Stop making excuses. You got nobody to blame for trump except your fellow conservatives who decided to put his ass on the main ticket.

Stop blaming other people and own it. That's what you tell me all the time, right?

So suck it and stop acting like a punk making excuses.

You're being a pessimist. Hillary has to be practically carried to the finish line.

However, Trump absolutely must "steal" from the 18 traditionally blue states wall Dems have. He also can't lose Virginia (might be tough with Kaine) and North Carolina.

My analysis:

Hillary has turned Trump's game back on himself.

He's losing by his own political warfare tactics right now.


Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Ah, you finally came up with a link.

Weird how it never came out until well after the event, isn't it?

Is this like John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, tossing his purple hear over the white house fence? Wait, it wasn't his purple heart he threw, was it?

Doesn't change a damn thing. Hillary is a lying, conniving, evil witch. And no one has even offered her a ribbon, other than the libs and the media. smile

I have to agree with what Swish said another time, that the debates will decide it. Trump better study hard if he wants a chance. He needs substance coming out of his mouth and not just attacks.

Trump is going to destroy Hillary in the debates. They are in a whole different league when it comes to public speaking, persuasion, and skill. Trump will have quite a bit of time to refine his policies and positions, and more of Hillary's scandals will surface in the meantime.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I mentioned that I thought having two of the three presidential debates at the same time as prime time NFL games was 'unfortunate' timing for Trump, because it will take away the viewership (where he will likely perform extremely well) and specifically because that viewership will be disproportionately people who would be receptive to his ideas, as football has long been known to attract more conservative viewers.

It was also a little bit tactless in making a big deal out of this, IMO. The commission that scheduled the event is bipartisan and therefore at least nominally unbiased. A reasonable person could say, look, this was scheduled a long time ago, there will still be a ton of viewers, others will watch tape it or watch it on the internet later or whatever. Fair enough. What's going on here?

Well, Hillary is locked in now! It's on the record everywhere-- we all know when the debates are and when they were scheduled. While she may have previously been able to weasel out of one or more of them (like she did one of the scheduled debates vs Bernie) but the backlash would be huge.

I fully admit that I could be reading way too much into this one. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last time.

You hope.

Only thing holding trump back is can he remember the details of all the lies and such that hillary has been a part of.

It would be neat to hear him state how much hillary has gotten from wall street, and then contrast that with how she attacks wall st. In fact, that would be hilarious.

I still can't believe anyone backs this lying, conniving woman. Blows my mind.

But, I will say, most of her supporters seem to live off the gov't. now, or will after 30 years of work.

What would hurt Trump would be if he had to explain his policies. Just saying you'll make great trade deals isn't going to fly.
