You know what? I will. He was out here a few weeks ago but I don't usually go to rallies. But next time he swings through and I'm sure he will because Va is purple, I'll go.

Stay tuned. And this isn't a Trump endorsement, I'm just tired of the narrative you all push.

 

[RustyShackleford]

We still playing this game famb

 

[mgrand15]

Nah he's not a Trump supporter. He's just fighting the good fight to keep the thread balanced. A very noble cause.

 

[rico x hood]

**** I'll hit up a Hillary rally too, just to make it balanced. She was out here a few weeks ago as well. She'll be back.

 

[noskey]

That's not how balance works. Balanced would be going into each rally with an open mind, and being non-judgemental. You've proven time after time that you're pro-Trump and anti-Clinton. Going to each rally for show, to try and prove something, is not balanced. But good luck, I sincerely hope you find acceptance among the bigots.

 

[rico x hood]

Did I say I was gonna go into the Hillary rally with a Make America Great Again hat and a Shillary sign? No. I'll be chill.

 

[everysingletime]

I'm late but there's a petition going around by elected and formerly elected republican officials asking to withdraw support of Trump.

120 signatures so far.

This is hilarious.

Trump self destructing so much that his peoples are already trying to distance themselves..

He skewered Lindsey for months in the primaries.

(Link above is directed at RR, who wanted an example of Trump's questionable behavior toward minorities. It's not just talk. Let's not forget that he also led the birther movement)

In this article, it's been mentioned that Trump generally doesn't stop in local businesses or places of worship in the cities on his campaign trail. Fair enough, given that his campaign is rather unconventional. Here's what I want NH and RH to address:
How do you feel about a candidate who feel that he doesn't need the input of a section of his constituency? RH, you keep complaining about the "Democrat plantation," but would you vote for someone who doesn't want to discuss your perspective on the state of the country?

Just sounds like he is sheepdogging for Hilary.

flattering trump news of the day:

another awful poll for trump (ninja can ignore since he doesn't care about polls): http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-poll-august-slide-227051

Ailes (of sexual harassment fame) is joining team trump: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/us/politics/donald-trump-roger-ailes.html?_r=0

 

[RustyShackleford]

Please, please, please lets not start with this talking point of Trump being an agent for Clinton.

Especially when the topic is disrespect and dismissive attitudes toward minorities, specially black people

LOL you be so drunk... 

believer? he's not even voting for him.....

And experts who have studied presidential campaigns for decades have concluded that no candidate in Trump’s polling position at this stage of the race has gone on to win the popular vote in modern times

 

[rico x hood]

Yet he still felt the need go to speak on him in a positive light. Considering the source, this is huge.

 

[rico x hood]

Those same "experts" couldn't predict that he'd win the primaries and become the nominee. Their predictions mean absolutely nothing.

Do you know how to read Historic poll data?

Trump was always on top of the polls even before during the Primary.. since July 2015! Yeah from the same "EXPERTS"

Nice try to be ignorant of relevant polling data. What a way to be objective!

I'm willing to bet he was asked a question and answered it....  he thought it made sense, so he said it made sense 

you're acting like he got on his knees and sucked him off... 

if it was so "YUGGEEEE", he would be voting for him now 

not to mention......  he also said...... he believes Trump is going to lose

SO YUGGEEEEEE

 

[ben roethlisberger]

Didn't say he is, just said it seems like he is.

The black/minority vote is probably the most important vote and everybody knows it. So why would he refuse to go after it? Because he's racist isn't a good enough answer. He's basically throwing away any chance he had to be president.

Hindsight is 20/20. Stop it. No one thought he'd stay on top like he did, and you know it. So now these same experts suddenly can predict **** again? Please. Take that **** with the smallest grain of salt.

It's because he is a total imbecile

-Him having an extensive record for being a racist is a good reason.

-Him being a Republican and running as such mean that he thinks he can win without minority support. ******** on minorities helped him get nominated. And his supporters support him partly because he is tacitly and explicitly promising to bring minorities to heel.

-The GOP has no interest in the minority vote, they openly try to suppress it with voter ID laws.

-And Donald Trump as done many things to hurt his campaign, ignoring minorities just adds to the list.
