2016 Election Thread Part Deux

I almost believe this will be a good thing.

Yeah let the people that put these morons in power actually see for themselves.

You have to admit Fox has been anti-Trump from the jump. Fox is establishment and there's no denying that. But poll is probably accurate.

LOL and they've not been anti-Clinton either?

People balked at the CNN poll, well now the RNC's own network has him losing by 10. That's not a good sign for the Orangutan.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I've seen that theory a few times. Not sure I buy into it.

I wasn't at first but he seems to be intentionally picking fights against people he has no reason to. The longer it goes the more open I am to it.

You do realize that Rupert Murdoch and Fox News are big TPP proponents?
They have no love for Trump.

The Rs are pure pathetic, Trump is terrible but a Hillary regime with a willing Senate is downright scary.

What about the possibility that Republicans were duped into picking someone who doesn't have the temperment or ability to run a general election campaign?

Are you nuts?

Best case scenario at this point is HRC winning and the congress and senate remain firmly in GOP control.

Gridlock baby - nothing gets done.

Hard to feel bad for someone who is duped when they are reminded daily that, you know....they're being duped.

If trump doesnt win, we need another landslide shift to the right in the legislative branch, enough to tie her hands completely and impeach her when she inevitably oversteps her authority.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I REALLY hope this becomes the go to response, the comedic value on this will be priceless.

I hope its true so all the people who kissed his ass and bought all his bullcrap will have to either go into some heavy denial about what happened or just continue to blame everyone else for them being so easily fooled.

I have zero doubt but that the Republicans in the House are already fighting amongst themselves as to who gets to be on which committee to investigate her about which "scandal." There will be at least the following special select committees in the House:


The Benghazi Re-investigation Committee, The 12th Time Is The Charm!

The Email Committee, the Spoof and Phishing Committee!

The Whitewater Suicide Committee, Did You Know She Has No Alibi For The Kennedy Assassination?

The Bill Clinton Hate Committee, That Rascal Got Away From Us Last Time

JFK Jr? Coincidental that he was gonna run for that same seat, right? He just happened to die in a plane crash.

I don't think they'd have the sense or the fortitude to admit they were wrong. Instead they'll shriek that somehow it was "rigged", never conceding that they selected a top shelf douche bag and reality TV star as their party's nominee.

Her lemmings hear what they want to hear.

Dear Mr Buffett. If you think your tax bill is too low, write a check for some more. The .gov will GLADLY take your money. I respect his investing prowess and capabilities to control the market, but when it comes to this issue he is a POS.

Given some of the posts already, I don't believe for a second most will admit they were wrong.

I believe those morons would be perfectly fine with raising taxes on the middle class

That's because none of them are IN the middle class.

Drive the country into bankruptcy quicker?

I can't wait until February when HRC endorses TPP. It's going to be fantastic.

One of the shows had an accountant on the other day who had reverse engineered Trump's returns, and says that the issue is that his actual reported income must be shockingly low compared to what Trump claims, on the order of less than a half a million, given some of the tax credits he has claimed.

So there are many schools of thought on this. 1) Income very low; 2) shenanigans on the business returns; 3) links to Russian banks; 4) abysmal charitable giving; 5) deductions for kids we don't know about; 6) very low reported income; 7) underreported income.

The list goes on.

Personally, I am in the camp that Clinton ought to release ten years' worth of speech transcripts and Trump ought to release ten years' worth of tax returns.

How were they duped? The RNC totally screwed the pooch by allowing 17 candidates to run until they ran out of money. The blame for all of this rests squarely on their shoulders, because as they said "we make the rules". There is no excuse.

He's essentially doing the exact same thing that got him the nomination. The issue is, he's not going to pick up more votes by being that way. My opinion of course.

The RNC didn't pull the levers for the Human Cheeto.

I don't GAS about his returns, because frankly the super rich have avenues available to them that you and I cannot take advantage of and never will. Congress are all super rich with the exception of Bernie, and they write the laws. "Getting them" is hollow in all aspects of the discussion, and does nothing but pander to stupid democrats. (redundant I know) Her transcripts OTOH go directly to her character and corruptability. I appreciate that you actually reached across the aisle somewhat on this, but her release is far more important than his.

If she goes to jail or hell, I sit this one out.
