Like Trump himself has said: "I could shoot someone and not lose any voters"
Which is scary. Look at the alternate candidate. She was responsible for killing 4 people (one being a friend) and hasn't seen any wavering of support.
I wonder what it will take for people to actually stand up for what they believe in instead of blindly standing behind a person. All I'm hearing this week is that Republicans should unite behind Trump because he's their nominee. Why? He's a Democrat that ran on a handful of red meat issues to Republicans and won the nomination. He's HARDLY a conservative by any stretch of the imagination.
He won in the South, where the real Republicans live.

Trump won the nomination because he best represents what an American conservative is in 2016.
Mindlessly hating Barrack Obama, blaming blown people for America's problems, toxic white nationalism, making economic promises that are not based in reality, and spewing bigotry (explicit and implied)
The only difference between him and most of the other conservatives that ran is that he didn't rely on dog whistles.
All Trump did was exploited the anger, fear, bigotry and ignorance the GOP had been cultivating since they started the Southern Strategy, and more recently since they sold their soul to the Tea Party
Trying to paint him as a democrat to wash your hands of him is nonsense. Goldwater, Reagan, Trump; this is not the GOP's first rodeo with a racist.
He finessed the GOP base from right underneath them because he said openly what most of them have on their minds. Candidates and constituents

Hilarious isn't. How many hearings and how many millions wasted? Still grasping at straws.

Hillary Clinton having unwavering support on the left is plain and simple not true.
The anti-Clinton sentiment within the party is strong, just look at the Sanders campaign
Not her fault the GOP chose to nominate an incompetent bigot, who is scaring liberals, true progressives and moderate dems into party unity

You know what, the plagiarism and denial aren't even the issue for me. It's who the Republican campaign stole from.
You spend the last eight years spewing hate and nastiness at Barack, his wife, and his kids, largely because of the color of their skin, then you go and use parts of Michelle's speech word for word?
Just goes to show once again that the gross lack of respect Trump and the rest of the white nationalist party has for Barack and his family has nothing to do with policy, ideas, qualifications, or competency despite tirelessly trying to hide behind that veil.
It's all about a disdain for their brown skin.

I'm pretty sure most of those states (especially on the left and northeast) are not the South which would be more traditionally socially and economically conservative. But I won't let facts get in the wayHe won in the South, where the real Republicans live.Which is scary. Look at the alternate candidate. She was responsible for killing 4 people (one being a friend) and hasn't seen any wavering of support.Like Trump himself has said: "I could shoot someone and not lose any voters"

Have you seen the newest Purge? I feel like the end of that would be fairly realistic in this case. Will be bunkering in my house all night and maybe the next day when Hillary wins.

You realize you just proved dude right. The facts are on his side, and you just provided evidence to that
And you want to condescendingly talk about facts
He said Trump won the South, the most conservative part of the country and where the GOP's base is located, and you post a chart showing exactly that.
You scored a layup on your own basket. You don't get points for that.

This is the type of VILE and HATEFUL rhetoric that is the base of the Trump campaign. Absolutely sickening to suggest this.

These people who are going off the rails about Benghazi are forgetting about a lot of the blood on their own hands from Iraq.

Not just Iraq. It's amazing how they cherry pick which tragedy to highlight to their narrative.
