Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Even in the ads that seek to portray trump as patriotic, he looks like he is smirking.

I was very active in the tea party back in the day.. Guys like Allen West were motivating. I watched supposed Conservative activists get all excited about a trump possible run in 2012.

I wont even dig in to the utter absolute BS I encountered along Republican party lines which was childish and trivial and beyond laughable.

But these are the people that voted for trump in the nominations.. you have to understand the level of stupidity and childishness that has invaded society as a whole to figure out how we have 2 pathetic candidates.

I dont as much blame the candidates, I blame the people.. they took our jerbs!!!!!!

Time for you to come straight out and say you support Hillary. Any and every anti-trump article gets you going but we never see that passion about Hillary's downsides.
Are you sure its the other people who don't understand?  Unless you think Mickey actually has a shot at winning, which I would disagree with you on.
My oh my.
Just because I'm not an obedient little Trumpkin doesn't mean I like Hillary. I despise her. I point out Donald's flaws to show why I'm going to have a hard time holding my nose and voting for him.
I'd vote for just about anyone else. Just happens to be that I also despise Bernie and Donald.
I don't want to despise Donald, but he's done nothing to earn my vote and I don't believe that Hillary or Donald are fit to be POTUS.

So unless he does something to change my mind #ImWithMickey
It's a small form of protest, but that's all I have.

Don't care for many of his positions and he won't win. Doesn't seem any better than Mickey.

Huntsman was viewed as a RINO, but he was a strong candidate, deff more appealing than mccain or romney

It will be interesting to see if Mickey can get 1% of the popular vote. I think it would take a concerted effort. Unless Mickey Mouse is just the default protest vote for everybody. It would make quite a statement for the history books.

Very well put.  As I live in Israel and am registered in NY, I probably won't vote at all.

Ok makes sense
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Mixed. Supports Trump, but is clearly very different ideologically. I still like Cheney.

One oft repeated claim is "Trump will surround himself with and hire good people" even if he is not the best person for the job.

Why hasn't he done that for his campaign? We're up to the third campaign manager, none of the three inspire any confidence.

Or is running a country easier than running a political campaign?

Agree with this 100%, and even more so - the people he has hired have proven incapable of controlling him or protecting him (and his campaign) from himself. We've clearly seen that even if he does manage to get good advisers he won't listen to what they say anyway.

What irks me is that Guiliani is running around with Trump, when Guiliani could have run himself.

You think he would have defeated Trump in the primary? He would have been with Pataki at the kids table.
