"Every penny of the $7 billion going to Africa as per Obama will be stolen - corruption is rampant!" Donald Trump
When there is outreach of this size there will always be imperfection. Republicans have used that to attack the concept of a more robust Federal Government for a century. But in this instance Trump is ratcheting it up to say every penny is part of corruption.
This guy is truly a racist to the core. He isn't educated on his comments here nor does he care to be. His eyes tell him all he needs to know. The rest is deep within him and was learned at an early age.
It's similar to a recent conversation I had with someone. They didn't know who Samuel L Jackson is. I showed them a picture. They said they didn't recognize him but he looked like a two-bit actor. That is the inherent thoughts of a racist. It is what Trump is doing with his comments here.

(30,481 posts)He is extremely dishonest, often from one sentence to the next, and his supporters seem to actually cheer it. I think a lot of it might be them simply giving the party the bird.
As much as I want to say Clinton will crush him, I clearly stated early on he would go nowhere. He is absolutely crushing it on their side. They don't care about his ideas, path moving forward, or his racist/bigoted/sexist mentality.

(5,252 posts)Bernie supporters months ago for her losing the GE. Trump and his legion are a media phenomenon. They're not under a microscope, they're under a magnifying glass. They aren't that numerous, they just look irresistible on TV. And remember, this year, Hillary is a media favorite, too. The media loves to make and break people. She's like a great comeback kid story on her way to history and only a complete bafoon stands in her way. The media built Trump up, now they are going to destroy him.
He's too embarrassing and illequipped to be a statesman and the media knows it. And who are his allies? Which generals support him? Who from Wall Street supports him? Who in Congress supports him? Who in TV or real estate supports him? His cabinet will be Duck Dynasty.

(30,481 posts)And I think Clinton winning the GE is on us.
i believe your second paragraph can be viewed in two way. As the reason Clinton is the nominee, and why Trump will lose. I do think it is going to be one hell of a fight. I'm just not big on making a grand statement considering I didn't think Trump would come close. I am happy it is him. What they hate most is that he says in public what they like to keep behind closed doors.
Like the democratic primary, I think this might be an excellent GE. One where the differences are extremely noticeable.

(1,151 posts)Clinton j is the presumptive nomenee?she is losing nearly every contest to Bernie. She will lose badly in the remaining States. She is under investigation by the FBI and if you pay attention you will note that she is ill. Yes she is very ill. She is hiding her illness but it's getting difficult. She needs to rest. She cannot campaign right now that's why she is desperate for Bernie to drop out but he will not . Bernie is strong and health. Campaining is hard work. By the time we get to Philly , The Hillary will be a basket case and Bernie will probably have won more delegates .
If the DNC denies the people their choice, all hell is going to break loose. After that, fuck it, why care about anything when you know it's rigged? Let the Donald have it . vote Green.

(30,481 posts)I trashed GD. P last night to get away from this crap. Well, for a couple of reasons, but that was a big one. The other main reason is that I personally said something I have no respect for. Lol

(4,311 posts)With the certain knowledge today that Trump is the GOP nominee, all the ridiculous inflighing in GDP just seems so pointless. Hillary is going to be the nominee, we need to start fighting Trump RIGHT NOW, and I just can't listen to Bernie supporters going on and on about their failed candidate any more. We have a REAL ELECTION to win. We can't afford to be complacent. I think Hillary has a MUCH better chance to win than Trump, but we cannot take ANY chances.
They're over in GDP rearranging deck chairs on Bernie's Titanic and in the meantime, GD is running at a snail's pace in comparison when this is where EVERYONE should be, honing our strategy to take the GOP down for good. If they lose this election they are seriously injured as a party. Isn't that what we ALL, every single person on DU, want? For god sakes, we have the ability to land the killing blow to the fucking REPUBLICAN PARTY and we're squabbling like children between us because someone didn't get their fucking pony.
I'm sorry, I normally try to be more measured than this, but this is ridiculous. If we don't unite right now and form a strategy for dealing with this fucking buffoon, we're going to face 8 years of a Trump White House and EVERYTHING we've worked so hard for will be destroyed.
Right, I might just turn off the computer and go for a walk. I'm clearly agitated!

(30,481 posts)It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I know I'm not, but it's comforting to hear. I found myself agitated with some of what I read in GD. P yesterday. I truly said something that wasn't reflective of who I am. I decided it's time to move on and start fighting the battle that matters. Beating Trump and putting a progressive in the WH.
