[I'm] still not 100% sure what [Trump's] motivations for running are. He's been quite clear on his reasons for running from the very beginning. In short: MAGA. It appears his message is resonating nicely with much of mainstream America, considering his overwhelming dominance of the Republican nomination process (besting 16 opponents in spite of the dishonest media and their handlers). Here's a good resource for you: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions | ||

After having the pedophile sit behind him... Source, please. There isn't any real logic to explain his behavior. He certainly isn't acting like he wants to win. Source/s please. Thanks. | ||

There's no logical explanation for this when you are criticizing Hillary for the father of a terrorist sitting behind her. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/10/politics/donald-trum p-mark-foley-campaign-rally/index.html http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/trump-hi ts-clinton-mateen-father-s-seating-disgraced-congr essman-foley-n627881 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/ wp/2016/08/10/trump-knocks-clintons-proximity-to-f ather-of-orlando-shooter-with-a-disgraced-ex-congr essman-sitting-behind-him/ | ||

Bad optics, to be sure. I would assume the staffer who cleared Foley for that seat has been voted off the island by Mr. Trump. You have inadvertently answered a question I've asked many times here on BWB, but seldom get an answer to, which is: Where do you get your news? Your three sources are as rabid-left as they come. No, that doesn't change the Foley/bad optics dealio, but I'm not surprised that the media hellhounds are all over this. Question: Since it appears the mainstream media (which has been recently exposed as working in concert with the DNC, something many of us have known for years) is your source for news, do they ever say anything positive about Trump? As I refreshed my memory online just now as to who Foley is and what crimes he committed, several things stood out to me:
^ Does "after they turned 18 and 21, respectively" meet your definition of pedophilia? Just wondering out loud...
Lots of alleged and allegedlys. One could safely assume that if he did, in fact, have sexual relations with former pages, that those encounters were consensual. Yes? It may look like I'm standing up for the guy (Foley). That isn't the case. I'm just posting up some stuff I've gleaned from a quick lap of the 'net. Back to him sitting behind Trump: Yep, bad optics. That said, does this negate Trump's overall message of MAGA? I mean, is this little thing enough to keep you from voting for him? Thanks for posting up the links. Best, FB | ||

I think you try to hard to stand up for Trump. No matter what happened with Foley, and I don't really care, it was REALLY dumb for him to be on that stage. And my sources don't have anything to do with it. No one, and I mean NO ONE, denies that he was there so what difference does it make where the story comes from. Why even allow it to be a story? | ||

And by the way, I read ALL sources of news. All of them. I do not live in an echo chamber. You might want to try it. | ||

I haven't been disrespectful of you, there's no need for you to be disrespectful of me. We ought to be able to have an adult conversation. Yeah, Trump's my horse. This thread is entitled "President Trump," so I'm trying, in my own way, to combat the lies of the MSM by posting pro-Trump stuff on this thread. In particular, I've posted up a lot of video, so that folks can listen to what he actually says, as opposed to what the media says he says, to better formulate an opinion of the man and his policies. His presentation the other night of his financial plan for MAGA was fantastic, as an example. I assume the MSM ignored it. Best, FB | ||

Trump is DONE.He's "Jumped the Shark"/w his continuing incendiary remarks.I was all in enthusiastically until this past week. Gary Johnson is the only candidate I can vote for.Even handed,calm,and for all of the conservative principles I care about.I get my news from CNN,NBC,ABC,CBS,PBS,FOX,MSNBC,and all of the links here | ||

The country is not repairable. What needs to be done will never be done. Why anyone would desire to be President is beyond me. Trump and Hillary are already rich and powerful. To be the Captain of the Titanic was a prestigious job but in the end you're just the Captain of a sinking ship. | ||

I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. Sorry it came off that way. Cool, thanks amigo. Trump is DONE. He's "Jumped the Shark"/w his continuing incendiary remarks. I was all in enthusiastically until this past week...I get my news from CNN,NBC,ABC,CBS,PBS,FOX,MSNBC,and all of the links here This is EXACTLY what the "news" sources you list (at the behest of their handlers) want you (and everyone else) to do: jump ship. Everyone single one of your news sources listed is corrupt, rotting from the head down. Every. Single. One. | ||

...I get my news from CNN,NBC,ABC,CBS,PBS,FOX,MSNBC,and all of the links here Sorry,i was trolling and got the exact response I expected.It was a movie line that came to mind spoken by Dody Goodman,I left out "Mrs. Paul's." I've followed these threads since their beginning but stay out of the fray.I like Trump but he's too reactionary...Gary Johnson seems much more Presidential...TO ME.....Carry on | ||

CNN’s Cuomo comes right out and admits it: ‘We couldn’t help Hillary any more than we have’ Just in case somebody hasn't noticed. It's just getting to the point where they are coming out of the closet. | ||

http://observer.com/2016/08/tech-companies-apple-t witter-google-and-instagram-collude-to-defeat-trum p/ I predict that you will see headlines about Trump being a sure loser, insane, a cannibal, a pedophile, alien invader, and that he said something THAT OFFENDED SOMEONE!!!!! Since I think his hair is actually an alien mind control parasite, a few of the above might be true.  So the next time one of you fine folk get your panties twisted because a "the news" is all about how Trump has no chance now, that the Losers in the Republican Party are going to "have an intervention", that a guy in the background of a Trump rally is Satan, etc. etc. I'm going to call you a sucker. It's obvious that nearly everything you read for the next 4 months is going to be biased and carefully crafted to sell you lies. | ||

It's not about being a sucker. It's about Trump needlessly providing them ammunition over and over and over again from his own stupid mistakes. | ||

Foot in mouth? Heck yes, that's why CNN-ABC-ETC gave the Donald all that coverage. They sell seconds and clicks. If Jeb ( who I didn't like ) had a brilliant answer to a problem, it was ignored. Too boring. Donald joking about a baby crying is much better click bait. Much easier to twist into baby hatred and far more fun than actually reporting on better policy. Boring politicians pointing politely out that Barry's policies have given us steadily increasing unemployment with industry fleeing his tax increases that are never called that? Dull. People click away fast. And why bother defending Barry's bad judgment? Easier to ignore factual criticism than defend the lies your news company has been paid to sell the suckers. ( the Obama administration bribes them with cash & access ) But any statement off the cuff by the chosen hate object that can possibly be twisted to a misleading headline? Pure gold. Cram that down everyone's throat on high rotation and get a new one out tomorrow so your company's dishonesty won't get attention. Yesterday's lies are old news and can be ignored. A this point what difference does it make? Note well I am not defending the Donald. I have Bugs Bunny's voice in my head saying "what a maroon" often these days. What my inner voice says about Hillary? That voice is from Heavy Metal. | ||

You guys might be reading way too much into this Donald Trump and media slant and all the rest. He might simply be a wealthy egomaniac who also happens to be nuts. |
