DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Election Thread #13: November 8th needs to just arrive already

Trickle down!!! Trickle down!!

Because he HAD to.
The deal was struck in the previous admin.... and Iraq didn't want us there.

Deal done.

"Assuming he can't get out of it."

Lol

Wow he just called her a nasty woman.

Is he tanking the election now? Honey badger don't give a s....

Wrong again, you cannot totally pay for programs like that by only raising taxes on the wealthy. Why on earth does she keep saying this?

45 min ago he said "nobody respects women more than me"....Now he interrupts her saying "such a nasty woman".

Wow.

She will say anything, no matter how big the lie, to get elected.

True. But, if she can bamboozle the FBI, she could have worked a deal to some troops remain to contain.

She took a cheap shot at him and he responded in kind.

At least it didn't take up 30 minutes of the debate like it did in the second one.

Your guess is as good as mine, and here's mine.

We were tired of fighting, tired of being the big brother to the world, I think he ran on turning the country back over to the Iraqi people, trouble is-not enough of their military had the stones to keep what our military bought for them.

Deal with who? Herself? If somebody wants us out of the country, they aren't coming to the table.

killing me with this inner city = black people bullcrap

Well, to be honest, she is not a respectful woman, not in my opinion anyway. She takes cheap shots. I certainly do not respect her.

What a horrible closing statement by trump.

This is the wrong answer.

Ever heard the theory that Trump is doing this in order to start his own television network?

I can't wait till this crap is over.

I want "None of the Above" to vote for!

Theory?

Well, this would certainly be an awesome kick starter.

Do I want the government to keep stealing from me or do I want a change?

Like I said before the debate. This is over, it has been over for awhile. Trump was never going to change anyone's mind (he didn't even try).

Actually I think that last statement from Trump was right on point.

Fox News is blasting trump right now lmfaoooooo

Watching PBS....they just said it was "Hillary's greatest debate performance".

did not like the "nasty woman" comment even though it is true

I've heard it posited by pundits that he's only in this in order to launch his own news network.

I don't think she ever answered how she's different from Obama. If she did then I apologize but I still haven't heard an explanation on that.

The bar was set pretty low but I do agree this was her best performance.

Right, I was insinuating that it is more than a theory.

She did not answer much of anything

First debate?

I hate Hillary and love some of things Trump said tonight. However, it's just not enough. He's been killed in "after debates."

Ahhh, I see.

She went on the attack which is something people have begged her to do. I think Trump was solid, but not enough to do anything.

Good chat my fellow peeps!!! Have a good night

If the election was held tomorrow, Hillary Clinton would be the president of the United States. Trump needs to just shut the hell up and hope something causes Hillary to lose. He needs a hail mary right now.

Bums, they give us bums. . .

And if that supposition turns out to be true, he should be the most universally reviled man in the history of American politics...

...because he stole 18 months of America's time and resources, hijacking and defrauding the entire American Political Process to further his own personal and financial goals. All the way up to a national election for POTUS.

But the universal hatred will never happen- at least for another 20 years or so.

Why?

Because the very people who sincerely wanted him to become POTUS are too stupid to see a 'long-game con' when it's being worked on them... and will be the first people in America to abandon FOX network and the Rush Limbaughs to get their daily dose of the next snake oil he's selling.

He's manipulated a 6-year 'hostile takeover' of the Right-Wing 'Infotainment' Market... and he's done it right in front of America's collective nose. It really is audacious and brilliant. Hat off to him. The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves, but PT Barnum is saying, "DAMN, son.... you are the new king!"

Trump WANTS to lose this election. It was apparent in his closing statement. When given a chance to appeal to mainstream America, he didn't even TRY to bring in America's undecided- he pivoted back to preaching to his base, laying the groundwork for his next big money-making venture.

Connect the dots:
Trump.
Roger Ailes.
Steve Bannon.

____________

The GOP had ample opportunity to stop this scam dead in its tracks, and place a legitimate candidate on the ticket. Instead, they ponied up 17 other feckless candidates, offered zero to no opposition to Trump's bully style of primary campaigning... and let his rabid base sweep over the primary process like they did in 2010, when they steamrolled the Teas into CapHill.

I've been holding out on saying this for a long time, because I didn't want to be 'THAT' poster who took any legitimate political thread "down the rabbit hole," but I'll say it now, because I no longer care what you people think of me. There comes a time when a person must speak his mind, if he ever wants another decent night's sleep. For me, that time is now.

This dude has NEVER been serious about becoming the President of the United States of America. He's never once in his long history in the public eye shown the slightest interest in American History, intellectual rigor, Constitutional Law, Civic issues, Philanthropy, or service to this country's greater good. His book is the best evidence this prosecutor could ever offer up as evidence of his M.O. ... and he's never deviated from the template he outlined in those pages. Not even now.

It's all been a 'long-game.' And he's more than ready to get out of it... and make himself some REAL money.
Because that's what he's always been about. He's said it himself- in so many words.

Ted, Haus, guys and gals who've know me for all these years.... you wanna know why I'm so "out of character" when I talk about this guy? Why I'm not as "fair-minded," "reasonable," and "even-keeled" when I talk about this I'm now glad to tell you.

When I was 12 years old, My Pops absolutely DESTROYED my childish world-view. It happened at the Allen County Fair. We always took our family vacation at the same time that the fair was in town. Our Family went on our 2-week vacation at the same time that the fair was in town. We'd go to these wonderful places: Niagara Falls, Gettysburg, Wisconsin Dells, Yosemtie, Expo '67 in Montreal... and I'd always come back to stories from my neighborhood hoodrats about how great the Allen Co. Fair was. I pressured him for months about it... so he did the unthinkable: he postponed our Family Vacation by a week... just to take me to the fair- for 4 straight days.

We went every single day, whether I wanted to, or not. He showed me how the midway games were 'rigged' with weighted baseballs, basketball hoops that weren't regulation, foot switches that allowed or prevented people to win at the 'hammer drop (HOW does a 110 lb cheerleader 'ring the bell' at the top of a 20-ft display, when her 240 lb linebacker boyfriend fails to get the ringer even 3/4ths the way up?)

He saved the Carnival Barker for last, on Day Three of that weekend.We'd seen all the attractions, so My Pops FORCED me to follow this dude, and watch what he did- and how he did it.

"Bobby... THIS is the guy that makes the whole thing work. He gets the whole town to come out and spend their money. Everyone you saw this weekend works for him... and when they're done- they leave you."

_____________

We never went back to another County Fair. We didn't have to. I was cured of my obsession about what I'd missed, by going on all those fantastic family vacations.

I never pressured him to take me to another one, and we never did go together- ever again.

My Pops knew a 'PT Barnum' when he saw one... and he was willing to postpone his regularly-scheduled Family Vacation to teach his son a lesson.

A lesson I never forgot.
A lesson I used, when assessing Donald Trunp- way back in 1986.

I've seen him 'run his game' since Day One.
A I never fell for it... because I was raised to 'identify the markers.'

My Pops was The [expletive].

I saw Trump for what he was 30 years ago. I was trained by The Best to spot guys like him... before I even had my first kiss from a girl.

PT Barnum:
"There's a sucker born every minute."

I've felt this way ever since I heard him, Hannity, and O'Reilley started talking. He's gonna poach from Breitbart, The Blaze, and Fox News. He's gonna recruit Tomi Lahrens, Milo Yiannopoulos, and others.

I'll take the wind out of the oppositions sails for you, pal.
