Trump: Clinton can't win Pennsylvania without cheating.

He just said this at his rally in Altoona,PA. He's unhinged and talking off the cuff again.

He is right now setting himself up to drop out the race. Lol.

My question is to him, how would Hilary cheat in PA? Lol.

Trump:‘If We Have Nuclear Weapons, Why Can’t We Use Them?’




By Hrafnkell Haraldsson on Wed, Aug 3rd, 2016 at 12:24 pm
During a foreign policy briefing several months ago, Trump asked three times in an hour, "If we have them, why can't we use them?"

If you are not already terrified by the prospect of a Trump presidency, perhaps this latest revelation will wake you up.

We have already seen that Trump has no problem increasing the availability of nukes, after decades of nuclear non-proliferation efforts. But this is worse. Much worse. Because it turns out, he doesn’t understand why he can’t use them.

According to Joe Scarborough Wednesday morning, a foreign policy expert was trying to advise Trump and three times in a one-hour briefing, Trump asked, speaking of nuclear weapons, “If we have them why can’t we use them?”

End of the world scenarios come first to mind. That’s why we don’t use nuclear weapons. During the Cold War, because each side had enough nukes to annihilate the other, they had a term for the resultant level of deterrence: MAD, or “mutual assured destruction.”

You know, because once the nukes start to fly, there are no winners. Only losers. Trump insists he is a winner, but every time he opens his mouth he gives the lie to those claims.

If we think we are having climate issues now, let’s consider the results of a nuclear winter. Some 75,000 years ago, the Toba eruption in Indonesia a brought about a volcanic winter, almost wiping out the human race and possibly reducing our worldwide population to some 3,000 to 10,000 people.

While current arsenals of nuclear weapons do not have the potential to cause that level of destruction in terms of destructive power, but it has long been argued that a full scale nuclear war does have the potential to bring about the extinction of the human race.

But then Trump thinks global warming is a liberal conspiracy, so he may well think that nukes are just giant hand grenades and kill only those they land on.

It wasn’t Trump who said, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds,” but that is what he aspires to be. Far from making America great again, he will destroy it, and the world along with it.

Given the possibility that Trump could have the power to cause our extinction, it is time, I think, that we recognize in Donald Trump somebody who is not only reckless, but catastrophically ignorant. In fact, our dictionaries are rapidly running out of words to describe somebody as dangerous as Donald J. Trump.

Using Trump-Speak on Your Children

Mom, what’s for dinner?”

Well, let me tell you about dinner. Everyone keeps asking me about dinner. People love my dinners. I make the best dinners. And we will have dinner. It will be great, the best dinner ever. People keep saying to me “We need dinner!” and I say I hear you! I am the best dinner maker ever and we WILL have dinner! And you will love this dinner.

“I got a D on my math test.”

Listen, you are just being a loser, okay? You are a loser. We need winners. We need to be great again. You are not doing the best, you are not making us the great again. I’m tired of losers, okay? We need some victories, get it? Winners! If you can’t be a winner– D’s are loser grades, okay — then you just need to get out of our family and don’t come back. There are other families that will take losers, but not us. We will build a wall around this house –it will be huge! –And you and all the other losers can just stay out! And you will need to get a job so you can pay for this wall. It’s a “no losers allowed” wall, okay? You hear me?

“Mom, I need some money.”

Everyone is unemployed! There is — what? –100% unemployment around here? 1000%? I don’t even know, okay. We don’t know. But I am the best job creator, everyone knows that. I have taken polls and everyone says I am the best. You will be happy with the chores I create for you, okay? China is afraid of the jobs I can create, I’m telling you. You aren’t gonna make much money at my jobs because we have to compete with Kazakhstan, with Mauritania, to do these chores. I mean, there are people everywhere who would be happy to clean your room for less money than you want and no health insurance either! But I am creating jobs everyday! I am very rich, so I know how to do this.

“Mom, can I have a friend over after school?”

Look, these people can’t keep coming over here. We don’t know anything about these people. Who is screening these people? No one, that’s who. We just need to shut this down right now. Until we know what is going on around here, no one can come. No one. They are not sending the best kids, the best mailman, or the best garbage man here. No they are not. The ban needs to remain in effect until we know what these people want, what games they want to play, what snacks they want to eat. Only I can keep us all safe. No one will mess with me, let me tell you. We will be safe again and people will love me for it.

“Mom, I need some new socks”

Listen, you cannot just go out and buy socks. You need a good negotiator to get the best deal on socks. I am the best negotiator. I will get the socks for everyone and I will get the best deal on socks. Not just the best deal today, the best deal ever! Target will lose. People love me because I’m not afraid to win. I will win socks for this family because I am the best.

“Mom, you don’t make any sense.”

Listen, I’m just telling it like it really is. You don’t know-people who listen to me, they know. You need to listen. You are better off with me. I’m the best. Without me what will you have? People love me. Other people, smart people. We get along perfectly. I’m perfect. If I leave, you will be stuck with Kayne West. You don’t want that, do you? I have won awards, I am so rich, and people love me. I’m the best.

Did Donald Trump Win The Nomination Because Republican Voters Are Dumb? (article title)

John McQuaid , CONTRIBUTOR
Journalist
MAY 12, 2016


Everybody’s looking for reasons why all the predictions were wrong, and how a modern American political party could come to nominate a candidate like Donald Trump. Jonathan Chait argues that it’s because most political prognosticators could not accept that many Republican voters are short some IQ points:

As low as my estimation of the intelligence of the Republican electorate may be, I did not think enough of them would be dumb enough to buy his act. And, yes, I do believe that to watch Donald Trump and see a qualified and plausible president, you probably have some kind of mental shortcoming. As many fellow Republicans have pointed out, Donald Trump is a con man. What I failed to realize — and, I believe, what so many others failed to realize, though they have reasons not to say so — is just how easily so many Republicans are duped.


While I agree that Trump is unqualified to be president, and that nominating him is a big mistake, can you really attribute his victory to collective idiocy? Clearly something went wrong here, but you can’t plot the Trump phenomenon as a function of intelligence. Republican voters have had plenty of chances to elect Trump-esque candidates before (e.g., Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain) and they went with traditional, party-minted choices – until this year. Have GOP voters literally gotten stupider in the past four years? Clearly not.

It’s a mistake to look at voting, especially for president, as a rational process of weighing costs and benefits. Most individual voters don’t think much about policies or the practical realities of running the federal bureaucracy, dealing with Congress, or managing international alliances – the stuff Trump is so pathetically clueless about. They don’t put the candidates’ budget proposals in spreadsheets to compare them or see if the numbers add up. Unlike offices such as local mayor or school board member, what the president does on a daily basis is far removed from the realities of most people’s lives. So most of us treat the choice more abstractly. It reflects how people feel about the country, about character. And when feelings run high, policy recedes. Many people, I suspect, think the American political system is pretty sturdy (if paradoxically dysfunctional) and the damage any individual can do is limited. So, you don’t cast a vote for president to implement policies, but to express yourself, to send a message, to jar the system. Trump is the purest distillation of this tendency.
