Bro, have you noticed the top two supremacy groups backed Trump?

I have a question for the board:

The Republican Party is by no means racist. But why is it that the supremacy groups are conservatives who vote republican?


I have no idea. Good question though.

Can't answer it. Although, I have a question as well. The dems are by no means racist, but why do the poor and jobless turn out for the dems? It's not like the dem party has gotten any of them out of poverty.

Because it's either that or failed trickle down economic policies with little safety nets. Basically which one I can stomach more.

That's how I personally see it, anyway.

If this were a Republican President, I have no doubt that it would be a lead story, with headlines like "Ransom?", "Did we pay Iran off?", and so forth. However, it's Obama, so they don't even mention it.


Actually it was covered and one reliable news source found this:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36988451

And...how about this:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36982965

So maybe US News dropped it as it appears Trump is completely incorrect on his details.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is long gone from the Republican presidential primary but on Sunday hinted about finally endorsing Donald Trump while also predicting Trump winning his home state will be “really difficult."

By that logic, does that mean the endorsements made by the KKK and Nazi Party make republican the white power party?

Giuliani stays saying dumb crap.

It's gotta be odd that trump is fighting to get the majority of GOP leaders to endorse him

They are doing it at a distance or not doing it at all. It's like pulling teeth to get people to back Trump.

40, break it down for us. What's going on in republican land?

We are preparing to complete the Triad, House, Senate and the Executive.
This weekend a deal was made between Trump and the Republicans.

Trump enlists Christie to head White House transition team

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will serve as the chairman of Donald Trump's transition team should he win the presidency, the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign announced Monday.

Whites
Law Enforcement
Evangelicals
The Military
23 percent and rising Hispanic vote
Disgruntled Bernie voters
and many new folks are lining up to put Trump over the top.

Why?

Trump may very well get trounced in the election.

But, I do find it humorous how hillary supporters say things like you just did. It's like they want to sound ...........I don't know......undecided? Even though they are 100% decided.

Anyway, for anyone that can seriously overlook all hillary has done and say "well, yeah, but........." I just find it odd. And scary. Scary that people would vote for her.

Vote for Johnson. I guarantee a vote for hillary is a vote for her pocketbook. Not yours, not mine - hillary's.

Ironically, I know a guy that was all republican.......til his business hit the wall. Now, he's all Hillary. Constantly posting stuff on facebook about how hillary will save him. He's a newfound democrat - because he thinks he'll get free stuff.

Free stuff from who?

We'll see how the polling goes. If it's close, I'll vote for the candidate who won't set social progress back by decades; a 10%+ lead (which I think happens...we're not even at the debates yet...) will end up with a vote to Johnson.

Gotta do what you gotta do.

Of the people I personally know, the only ones voting for hillary without a doubt are people that live off the gov't.

The unemployed. The welfare people. And those that work for some gov't. agency, at some level.

My brother is a perfect example. He's the.......well, almost the biggest liberal I know. Guess what he does for a living?

Yup, works for the gov't. Damn good job, too.

I have another brother. Business owner. He's done pretty well for himself and his family, and his employees. He just put his name (well, his companies name) on the dotted line for a $2 million loan to buy some new equipment for his business. If all goes anywhere near his plan (he's been running his business for over 16 years now - he hasn't missed yet) he said within 2 years he'll have to build a new building. The 80,000 sq. ft. building won't be big enough.

Know what he's doing? He's filling a niche. A voluntary niche, not a gov't. mandated niche. And, he's doing it well. He employs people.

He's looking ahead, planning.

My other brother? He's looking ahead also. He's 52. He can't wait - in another 2 years, he can retire. Full bene's and all. He doesn't give a rip about improving anything, just holding on for 2 more years. So he can get his bene's. Paid for over the next 30-40 years.

I watched the entire interview and I see no chance of him endorsing OR campaigning for Trump. If anything he stands by his complete disdain for Trump.

I would like to think that he is standing on principle ..... but I think that the main principle he is standing on is that he needs Trump to lose so he can run again in 2020.

I don't know about all of that, but I will take your word for it.

I do know about how he treated the teachers, though. This comment was troubling: "we need to break the backs of organized labor in the schools."

The "disgruntled" Bernie voters are probably college kids. What's more likely to happen them voting for Trump or them pouting and just not showing up to vote? The Hispanic population isn't voting for Trump.

I would pay money to see Swish's face as he reads this:



Quote:
Donald Trump's campaign is trying to make inroads with African-Americans, as an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that just 2 percent of black voters support the businessman in his run for president.

Prominent surrogates including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, national spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, former "The Apprentice" contestant Omarosa Manigault, and Pastor Mark Burns campaigned today at historically black church Antioch Road to Glory International Ministries in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The church is now publicly supporting Trump, hosting a town hall today billed as "A Day of Endorsement."

Donald Trump was not in attendance.

Generally, churches cannot formally endorse a candidate without losing their 501(c)(3) tax exemption, but the church declares on its Facebook page that it is not a 501(c)(3) organization. The grand-daughter of the church’s founder, Katrina Rodgers, is supporting Trump, as are some of the members.

Rodgers told ABC affiliate WSOC-TV that she knows the move isn't popular and the church has already been ridiculed for its stance.

"This is what we feel in our hearts of hearts that is right for us to do so we're moving forward on that," Rodgers said.

Manigault serves at the campaign's director of African-American outreach. Before she joined the team last month, the campaign had no formal coalitions outreach and the candidates has eschewed many traditional means of campaigning to voters of color, declining an invitation from the NAACP to appear at their national convention. He also did not speak to at National Urban League, a venue where other former Republican candidates have appeared.

Lynne Patton, a vice president for the Eric Trump Foundation, which raises money for terminally ill children at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, was also in attendance. She told CNN in an interview that Trump would be doing some of his own outreach to the African-American community.

"And you know what Donald Trump will be here, and he'll be reaching out to the black community more and more as the campaign goes on," she said. "He endorses us being here and he trusts his daughter-in-law Lara and I to handle that task."

In Trumps defense, what is he supposed to do? It's damage control. Hillary shouldn't concede to trying to appeal to white southern males even though she has zero chance of garnering support from them.

This is hilarious. Come on man, honestly...I know Hillary may be a flawed candidate but, no matter where you stand on the political spectrum this is a completely ridiculous statement and allegation. Look at her CV man, it does not read like somebody who is completely invested in their own self interest and financial gain. It is somebody who has devoted their life to public service. Whether you like what she has done or not. It is public service. About 45 years of public service.

Trump on the other hand...what does his CV say about him? His pocket book, bank account, self interest, self gain, self wealth and ego.

I'm shocked he even has 2%.

Maybe they accidentally clicked his name in a recent poll or something.

What do these loud mouth, immature freakish folks really hope to accomplish screaming at Trump's economic speech today?

They are removed, ignored and things go on. What a waste of effort.

If they truly feel the way they do, they should go to Hillary's events and scream. Their time today was wasted. Silliness abounds!!!

So it's a waste of effort to do it to trump, but worth it to do it at Hillary?

Yelling at the candidates when they are trying to explain their position on any subject is a waste of time.

If I bothered to even go to a candidates event, I'd at least hear them out.. Otherwise, why bother.

Truly childish.

I would agree to the extent that it hasn't been about money with her.. while they are worth a couple hundred million now, they had to wait for the money.... I would disagree because it's always been about power. Every lie she has ever told, every reputation she has ever squashed, every scandal she has ever wiggled out of, every person she has ever stepped on, every opinion she has miraculously changed.... has all been in the name of setting herself up to move up the power ladder.

She is far from unique in that motivation... she is just significantly more obvious about it.

Y'all complaining about protesters

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-clinton-economy-226795?cmpid=sf

When the reality is that they didn't interrupt anything important. And by important I mean his economic plan.

It was a whole lot of nothing. More trickle down economics, and more tax cuts that benefit the rich.

Economists are saying his plan will add to the deficit.

Conservatives all over social media said trump was coming with straight fire.

So far, his plan ain't even mild salsa.

Man the major networks aren't even talking about his plan that much.

Hell, more people are talking about the folks talking trash at the event.

That's how dull his plan was. Lmfao my god. I'm disappointed I thought he was gonna come with some fire.
