Mr. Trump, Do You Still Believe that Raphael Cruz was Involved in the JFK Assisnation?

That's a debate question for him.

Have we forgotten all the moronic accusations this flaming asshole has made this year?

President? I don't know another human being as disgusting as Donald Trump.

Sometimes, Hillary Clinton Might Rub People the Wrong Way......

.....However, in Hillary's case it's just a figure of speech. In Donald Trump's case, it's literal.

Wrong Track Numbers are Being Misinterpreted by Pundits

I can't count how many times political pundits and pollsters keep referring to this election as a "change" election because the polls show that 70% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track (or going in the wrong direction).

The 70% part is accurate, but who's to blame?

In the same polls, 53% of the people approve of the job Democratic President Obama is doing (43% disapprove) +10.

The same polls shows that the Republican Congress has an approval rating of just 18% (79% disapprove). -61

Wouldn't you think that these polls indicate who the people blame for that wrong direction?

Trump Supporters Talk of Rebellion and Assasssination at Rallies---Boston Globe




<snip>And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.<snip>

<snip>“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”<snip>

Dear Mr. Dan Bowman, please leave the light on at the front porch. I believe you'll be getting a visit from the authorities tonight. WHAT A FUCKING DOPE YOU ARE.

LA Times Polling Averages Distorted Toward Trump by One 19 Year Old Man in Illinois



<snip> A lone 19-year-old black man in Illinois is single-handedly (and unknowingly) changing the standings of the presidential election, The New York Times has found. Due to the 19-year-old Trump supporter's inordinate weight in a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak panel, his poll answers are directly affecting national averages, like the one compiled by RealClearPolitics. <snip>

Brand New Video of Trump in Sexual Misconduct on Tape in 2000

If I didn't see this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

It's a 30 second ad all by itself.

Trump Concedes That There are More Damaging Tapes of Him

In this article, complete with Donald Trump's quotes, he concedes that there are more videos that are damaging to him. This may confirm the existence of the rumored "Apprentice Show" edited, backroom tape in which Donald used the N word.


<snip>Though Clinton’s campaign has denied any involvement in leaking the “Access Hollywood” clip that has dogged Trump’s campaign all weekend and prompted an exodus of support from prominent Republicans, Trump said more such releases will come at a risk for the Clintons — he cast Bill Clinton as a predator Monday and Hillary Clinton as a “total hypocrite” who enabled him to hurt more women.

“If they wanna release more tapes saying inappropriate things, we’ll continue to talk about Bill and Hillary Clinton doing inappropriate things,” Trump said. “There are so many of them, folks.” <snip>

On Edit: If he didn't commit any other inappropriate acts or make any other shocking statements, why would Trump have to make these threats?

Clinton Response to Trump Attack on Bill's Indiscretions during Debate

I posted this suggestion prior to the first debate, in anticipation of a Donald Trump attack on Hillary about the past issues concerning Bill Clinton.

First off, Bill didn't get away with anything. He was impeached after lengthy interrogations. He was humiliated in public. All the accusations were adjudicated. Hillary doesn't need to rehash that, defend that, or relive that.

Here's my suggested response for Hillary when that topic comes up tonight.

"Donald, I'm not a quitter. I never have been a quitter. Not in my public life and not in my private life. All these issues that you allude to were discussed and dealt with, in public, 20 years ago. I will not litigate them again in this election or in this forum."

"And, finally, Donald, I hope you won't be offended that I don't take marital advice from you!"

Who Says that Trump's Audit is Routine, or that He Broke No Tax Laws?"

Ya, who says?

Let's look at the facts as we know them. By Donald Trump's own admission, his taxes, for numerous years, are under "routine audit". Why should we take his word that it's "routine"? If he's worth $10 billion, and, as he admitted in the first debate, he's paid no taxes for a number of years, because he's smart, why should everyone concede that he broke no laws?

Whether or not he has broken any tax laws should not be conceded until the audit is complete. Don't you think that if someone lives the life style that Donald Trump leads and pays no taxes for decades, that the IRS audit is more than "routine". Don't you think that the IRS may be suspicious of a non-taxpaying multi-billionaire?

Let's not let Trump or his surrogates get away with saying he hasn't broken any laws. They should be confronted with "how do you know that? Is the audit complete?"

Maybe Trump is no more a genius than Bernie Madoff was.
