Why Trump can't be president

[Janelle2002 3,865]

He's got my vote

Of course he does. For the same reason others are voting for him. ...... don't worry. When he finishes with illegals, minorities and immigrants, he'll be after the non-1%ers

Southern strategy back in play boys! Woa!!!!

Really, I didn't ask you. Nor do I care. To each it's own

police brutality is a relevant issue for all americans. police brutality has more of a definite sense of urgency if you are black or have biracial children, yes. also, i think if you are the parent of a child with any sort of emotional or mental handicap, or low functioning autism etc - i think police tactics and brutality are very much a concern for them.

i don't know why you're bringing up BLM, as BLM is extremely new and police brutality along racial lines is a long long standing issue in this country.

Police brutality has not been spoken of as much in the past two years as probably the ten prior.

I'm not so sure Teddy. As Janelle so eloquently put it, there have been pockets of conservative groups all over the US that have been dormant for a while since this country has become more progressive over the years. They're been waiting patiently for someone to come along and "take the country back"(code for make the white race great again since they think the minority has taken over). Now that the Donald has arrived, they're coming out of the woodworks to give their support. That's just one part of the equation.

The other part is the folks who have ALWAYS felt this way but were too ashamed to say it out loud. Since Trump looks like he's going to win, people aren't so scared to say what they really are thinking. Since the running candidate for president is saying it, and getting away with it, folks are embolden to follow suit.

You're old enough to know what this is. It's George Wallace all over again...

I'm not so sure those pockets exist Marv, at least not in any size large enough to effect a nationwide election. There might be 6 or 7 yahoos that have hunkered down in a bunker for the last decade or so, but their would have to be a few million of those yahoos lying in wait in order to sway the election 2 or 3 percentage points.

Mindless folks need someone to follow. I wish natural selection was allowed to play a bigger role in life, but unfortunately we've set up too many safety nets to help the stupid from hurting themselves.

George Wallace did lose in his bids to win the big election, (there were a total of four I believe), yes?

imo, it's about damn time. also, there are multiple factors at play concerning why police brutality is finally receiving attention (and it's not because it doesn't exist or blm is bolstering false outrage). and it has a lot to do with gradual social/judicial system changes over the past 20 years.

If you'd just close your doors you wouldn't have that problem.

I think it speaks volumes when the leaders of the current establishment are going out of their way to stop an outsider from their own party from winning the presidential election. They is ascared of The Donald.

[ExPatty 502]

I just read that speech, it's actually damn good. I hate that republicans have this juvenile, reflexive fetish when it comes to invoking reagan whenever they can but the content of the speech was sound, along with some strong predictions about what trump would do (not release tax returns, for example).

If we do have to choose between trump and hillary this year we are ****ed either way, it seems.

She does. The doors are only used for a few choice relatives.

They are, and for some of the wrong reasons (they are useless themselves), but when you read romney's examples, they are also scared for some of the right reasons.

oh merry, you can support freedom of movement and personal property and work towards a borderless world. it just takes a progressive mind and a desire to see the nwo come to fruition.
