Trump Campaign Goes Full Racist

[89Hen]

Only to a minority of people.

30% of the American Public, and 95% of the GOP in Congress

Yeah, GOP's don't usually vote with a GOP POTUS and Dems don't usually vote with a Dem POTUS.

You are such a partisan hack, I can't believe you actually believe you are anything close to center.

I’d say that’s creative reading on your part... except I’m pretty sure you didn’t really read it before posting.

I did read it. I think that you are so blinded by loyalty to Trump that you refuse to acknowledge anything that reveals his racist tendencies.

Accurate reading skills are inimical to loyalty to Trump, Jearf. I would think you of all people would know that.

So Reek accurately shifted gears at the start of this thread and pointed out that Trump’s statement was hypocritical (coastal elites)

It was a rare moment of lucidity from ol Reek

And yet some of us are still clinging to it being a racist statement

This place is fvcking Animal Farm

Trump would never say anything with a brazen lack of self awareness. Gotta be racism.

[css75]

Trump is not racism, he just has an extremely high self esteem, and he likes to embellish that.

Wait...are we still arguing whether Trump is a racist or not?

It must take a lot of mental gymnastics to convince themselves they're not defending a racist.

When half the country thinks someone's a racist, they're probably a racist.

I don’t care what half the country thinks and a tip of the hat to Ganny’s earlier post in that in many respects it’s a pointless exercise.

That said...he’s clearly still a racist.

Am I defending Trump when I say he's an arrogant sociopath not a racist?

In reek’s eye’s, yes.

Another thread with the leftards going full retard because of their TDS? How many of these do we need?

If we really wanted a system consistent with the idea that the country belongs to people of every zip code, we would not have the Electoral College system. We would not have a system whereby the vote of a person with a California zip code has less weight than the vote of a person with a Wyoming zip code. So on and so forth.

There really is no legitimate defense of the Electoral College system as it exists today.

Here it is again John, can’t you comprehend this?

I've seen arguments like that many times. It's a bunch of crap. I'll just focus on the "swing state" argument. The woman appears to think that the fact that swing states change makes a difference. It does not. The bottom line is that the Electoral College causes candidates to focus on States identified as being in play while paying very little attention to States that are not in play.

Also, I notice she didn't mention that the original idea of the Electoral College is that voters of each State would vote for educated people who would then go choose a President. It wasn't about voters in a State voting for a candidate then having the Electors vote for that candidate.

It's a bunch of crap.

It's adorable that you think getting rid of the electoral college would put an end to uneven campaign spending. Without the electoral college it will just mean candidates will be campaigning mostly in purple cities like Atlanta, Jacksonville, Nashville, and every large city in Texas other than Austin. The term "swing city" would be used and campaign stops in medium-sized and small towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania would end.

Amen! 40 million Americans (California) have had their vote neutered by the Electoral College while we have places like North & South Dakota (less than 2 million Americans) running the show.

You can all you want....

What did you think of the 17 month old being shot in the face in Texas by another crazy white guy? Or is she too old for you to care?

What about the black teen who shot 10 people at a high school football game? Of, course the MSM didn’t cover this for obvious reasons. It doesn’t fit their biased liberal agenda.

We live in a republic, not a democracy. The states created the federal government and gave it its authority. States were subsequently admitted to the Union as equals to all other states. Fuck California.

Fuck You.

That was a nice well reasoned out response.

I don't know about personal appearances but the idea is that if it were popular fighting for every vote regardless of where that vote was becomes more important. In 1800 there was a legitimate basis for worrying about focusing campaigning in highly populated areas because campaigning had to be in person. That is not the case today.

And if you're worried about in person visits: What would be the point of a Republican candidate visiting any city/town, large or small, in California? In 2016 Clinton won California by 62% to 32% over Trump. In a popular vote system the Republican candidate managing to get that to something like 55% to 45% would matter. You'd be talking about a change in the popular vote in the millions. In the Electoral College system it does not. It's still 55 Electoral votes for the Democrat. There is no point in devoting any effort to attracting voters in California.

I know democracy is a dirty word, but you live in one.

And also a welcome to JSO, who also has no concept of how a republic operates.
