Donald Trump’s chances of winning are approaching zero

If only. Like P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute, and Trump's circus exploited all of them. Let the show begin!

 

He's certainly earned that title. Mind if I quote you in my sig?

 

Maybe I'm in touch with the majority of voters who could tell what an ass clown Trump was from the beginning. Most of his voters will come around, too, seeing as how this self-promotion BS can only last so long. Unless, of course, they all keep swallowing his tweets rather than digesting real information.

Trump Tweet: "What do you mean your jobs suck? I say you're winning!"

Mindless follower response: "Yaaaayyy! We're winning!"

 

I know Trump's an ass clown and also recognized it early on... But he still got selected for his stated policy positions, and not just by "white nationalists". It has nothing to do with *sigh* racism and everything to do with a change in DC.

 

Nope! She didn't lose. But the election was stolen with illegal purging of over a million voters; http://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/, reducing polling places to one so minorities would never have time to vote, and making souls to the polls file absentee ballots when they were not absent, which made it easy to throw those in the trash, because most absentee ballots cast come mostly from minorities. And your information proving the list wrong is where exactly?

 

Unfortunately for you telling me it's completely false and an excuse tells me nothing. You want to tell me something, prove the list wrong;http://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/ By the way, did Wisconsin poll workers give a credible reason for making those early voters cast absentee balllots? No, because they have no excuse.

 

He made no "policy statements" early on. All he said was that we should keep Mexicans out, keep Muslims out, and tax Chinese imports. Those were his only policy statements. The white nationalists loved it, though, so they stood by him while all the other Republicans were tearing down the only respectable candidates running. When Trump was the only one with consistent support, the rest of the party reluctantly came on board... and THEN he started working on policy positions.

 

Nope, he was not talking about keeping Mexicans out. He certainly was discussing illegal immigration, however.

Are you really this indoctrinated, or are you just trolling?

 

lol this thread title makes me giggle

 

Considering how leftists from the Left-Allied Mainstream Media to political operatives to average leftists have reacted after Trump became president elect? Um . . . no. It's looking more and more like huge numbers of leftists belong to a metaphorical Basket of Deplorables. Thanks Hillary!

One noticed that after Trump won and that Rasmussen and the L.A. Times daily polling were correct . . . YOU . . . vanished.

Considering that working class citizens just put him into the Oval Office . . . yes.

 

I'm black and of working class and I voted for him.

 

Apparently you talked to the wrong people. Everyone I talked to about the 2016 election was way more enthusiastic about Trump than about Hillary.

 

Um . . . aside from elitist style leftists everyone for Hillary was on the dole and were voting for her because they KNEW that she had no intention EVER of making them actually work for a living should she become president. Working class people on the other hand turned out to be FOR Trump, and they are the ones who put him into the Oval Office. Pssst . . . invest in a better crystal ball and in the future don't BELIEVE the Left-Allied Mainstream Media when they lie to the nation for the political benefit of the DNC.

 

Yep and he managed to do just that; huge numbers of women and of Hispanics and -- yes -- Blacks compared Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump and then voted for Trump. What put him over the top was when Hillary put everyone who disagreed with eight dismal years of Obamanomics and of failed Obama foreign and domestic policies into her now infamous Basket of Deplorables category she failed to comprehend that she had just given vast numbers of working class people a huge and smelly elitist style leftist Middle Finger.

 

Clearly her being a woman made little difference to women since they voted for Trump in huge numbers and also huge numbers of Hispanics and Blacks voted for Trump as well. Oh and putting on a comically fake southern accent while eating a taco (or whatever she ate that time) does NOT mean that she connected with southerners and nor knew the south.

 

When you get right down to it what threw off leftists in regards to Trump winning the White House was that they BELIEVED everything that the Left-Allied Mainstream Media presented to them even though by that time they KNEW that effectively the MSM had become nothing more than the permanent propaganda arm of the DNC and of Hillary Clinton and so at least part of them had to KNOW that the MSM was quite deliberately lying to them about Hillary's chances of winning. They KNEW that the MSM was lying to them but believed anyway because it was convenient to believe those lies. Nice!

 

Indoctrinated is thinking a wall will prevent illegal immigration.

 

Indoctrinated is thinking he was talking literally when he said it. Sure, the wall is part of the plan to strengthen our borders but the wall represents the ideology of tougher immigration laws.

 

Hate to break it to ya, but there are plenty of people outside America who regard your whining Snowflakes and insane college politics as far more embarrassing than Trump.

 

One of the most disturbing discoveries I've personally made about the left, is just how profoundly uniformed and out of touch they (we) are. We literally buy the rhetoric wholesale, without questioning a word of it. We never check for ourselves, to ensure it's not just more propaganda, we rest on the hubris of thinking that since we're the 'good guys', anything we think or say must be truth. We don't apply critical thought, we just bleat the programmed absurdities. We are, quite literally, EXACTLY the same as religious fundamentalists. It's been a very steep and uncomfortable learning curve. Painful, even. I've had to dismantle a lifetime's worth of indoctrination.

The most disturbing part of it is that we on the left actually believe that we're somehow magically exempt from indoctrination and propaganda. That's how foolish and ego-driven we are. We believe that only the 'other side' is subject to such manipulations of thought and action. Utter (*)(*)(*)(*)wits, we are.

It's such a terrible shame ... actually a tragedy, that the left has sunk from a well-meaning collection of people hoping to see practical improvement to the human condition, to outrageously snotty, privileged people motivated by the signalling of virtue to 'speak and act' for causes that make an absolute mockery of things like starvation. Like the nobleman complaining to the beggar that his silk pillow isn't as soft as it once was. The left was always the great hope for a civilised and humanitarian future, and now we ain't.

 

There is an age-old lesson in here, I feel. That feeling of being above a given fault or somehow immune from it seems to be the very thing that lays the trap for people to fall victim to it themselves. The more we think we're above a thing, and the more we look down upon some other selected group and project our own faults onto them, the more we live in denial and fail to see it in ourselves and our fellows in the fold. We tend to overlook and forgive faults on the part of those in our own group when we're facing off against another, basically.

What I find most regrettable is just how deeply divided the nation has become, and 0bama has just wisely addressed this in a rational, non-partisan manner in his press conference the other day, and he as well as the president-elect mentioned healing after the very divisive campaign that was fought. It's easy for two warring factions to get carried away..

 

This thread should be archived as a sticky to remind the prognosticators that pride goethe before the fall.

 

And he won because the Dems ran Hillary Clinton.

 

You mean where he blamed Trump, the Republicans, and Russia?

 

Who will be President om Jan 21, 2017?

"...when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy. Then you’re doing the work of our adversaries for them. Because our democracy depends on people knowing that their vote matters, that those who occupy the seats of power were chosen by the people.”
