Trump just handed Hillary the Presidency

[jmdrake]

So, what black celebrities do you know of that were/are friends of trump? Jesse jackson? Mohammad Ali? Rosa Parks? Yup. trump was doing black charities in the 80's. Look it up. He's hired blacks, latinos, women.... $#@!, he has a record of being decidedly none of the things he is accused of. He also has, as I said, 9 years of a reality show, where he treats people on their performance, not gender or race.

Some of my best friends are.....nevermind. Yes I know that Don King calls Trump "My Nigga". And George W. Bush invited Easy-E to the Whitehouse. You're point? Rand Paul has bona fides at this point for actually proposing joint legislation with one of the most popular black politicians in the country. He could do more than just say "Hillary hasn't done anything but talk."

I think Rand would have had to deal with the same BS Trump is dealing with. If Trump can't win so will Rand.

Rand would also need to go as far as Trump to win. That means taking out Clinton dirty laundry and attacking rigging of elections.

He would also not be palatable to Never Trumpers.

You would end up fighting the exact same battle. If Trump wins then Rand just lost at primary stage. If Trump loses it would be for all the reasons why Rand would have lost.

Rand would have won. There are probably thirteen GOP candidates who would have won. The only other one that might have lost is Carson if he continued his incoherence for the general election. Rand would have won, Cruz would have won, Jeb would have won, Rubio would have won, Carly would have won, the New Jersey Blob would have won, the one guy who polled one percent and never got in to a debate would have probably won. Only Republicans could have chosen the one choice out of fifteen that was guaranteed to lose

Exactly! And they've done this three presidential elections in a row. Ron could have beat Obama both times. Rand could have beat Hillary. Good grief what is with people and the ridiculous belief that popularity in the GOP 15 candidate free for all translates to popularity nationwide? The whole time Trump was rising in the GOP polls he was sinking in the national polls.

You are deluded. The other 16 would have went down like Romney and McCain.

 

[Zippyjuan]

You're voting for Hillary. Your judgment of character sucks anyway.

I am voting for neither of them. So is Ron Paul.

The press would not let anyone get in the way of crowning their new queen. rand would have had a "rape charge" from college pop up, or some distant friend would step forward and say all he did was say "the n word" for two years. These people fight dirty. And again, Trump has exposed that. the only one that had a chance against Hillary was Jeb, because the press would be nice to jeb. But he would still lose.

Rand would not have beaten the chosen one. He certainly would not have exposed the entire system for what it is. 6 months ago, a vast majority of Americans still thought we had a free and fair press, maybe with a little bias. they did not think it was clearly a homogenous propaganda machine. The know now. And they are even ignoring the media's feeble attempts with the "groping" accusations.

Don't believe you.

one of the most popular black politicians in the country

Who?

 

[Superfluous Man]

If Trump talked the way he talks now six months ago, there would be some other Republican at the top of the ticket. He’d lose, too – but at least we wouldn’t have been Charlie Brown’d again.

I highly doubt it. Hillary is a terrible candidate. Almost any Republican could beat her. Donald is the only one who never stood much of a chance.

read wikileaks. hillary herself was terrified of rand. she felt he would have been the most difficult opponent. they didnt want rand or the establishment candidates. the three they wanted were the "pied pipers" trump, cruz and carson because they felt that they only appealed to a limited segment of the population whereas all the others appealed to a much broader base. why do you think NBC kept the hollywood access tapes until the general election and didnt drop them in the primary? why do you think the mainstream media treated trump like an crazy uncle in the primaries and then waited until the general to compare him to hitler? they wanted trump and the gop gave them trump.

Who?

dont confuse trump with assange. all of this media bias was known to ron paul supporters for ages and the public got a good inside look because of wikileaks not trump. rand wouldve destroyed hillary. there is nothing in his past that would compare with trump, jeb wouldve destroyed hillary although i would have to vomit if we had him for the next four to eight years

 

[Occam's Banana]

Exactly! And they've done this three presidential elections in a row.

They've done it the last five times, actually: Dole, Bush II, McCain, Romney and (now) Trump.

But Bush II accidentally won by a hair (if even that much).

Maybe they were counting on that "humble foreign policy" stuff to be a big flop.

(If so, it was a mistake from which they easily recovered - with a little help from 9/11 ...)

 

[Origanalist]

that is because you still don't understand him.

You know, trump told his supporters, when he first started, and the media was saying he had no chance, he said, "we're gonna win, we're gonna win more than anybody has ever won, we are gonna win so hard your face is going to hurt from smiling from winning so much, and then you are going to ask me to stop winning, because we are winning so much it is starting to hurt, and I'll say no, we aren't done winning"

If he had failed to clinch the republican nomination, then, sure... ...he sucks.

But he delivered, didn't he?

Trump is not in this for the Clintons, by the way. He does nothing for anybody but himself. He thinks he can be the best president ever. He might be right. I am not doubting him at this moment. I am very impressed with the way he handled the media. it is simply unbelievable to me.

This has got to be trolling.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Snopes has no credibility when it comes to politics. Snopes is run by a naive birkenstock wearign hippies who don't have a clue how much corruption, murder and cover ups there can be in a government. I am quite sure Snopes says JFK was assassinated by Lee harvery Oswald, and everything else is false, although there is really no way to know.

Piss off with snopes.



You are delusional. In no time, in history, did a president ever threaten to have the other jailed.

So you watched one minute out of 270 minutes of debate. Good for you.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

The likelihood of a Clinton ever being indicted let alone booked,tried or jailed is damn near nill.

This kind of BS is salesmanship intended to inspire the dim-witted and maybe garner headlines.

She deserves to be disemboweled on the public square right along side the countless DA's and USA's who abuse their positions but in today's political/social climate it'll never happen.

There was zero chance ever of Hillary facing charges under a Trump presidency. Obama will just give her a full pardon on his way out.

Trump has actually "destroyed" Hillary. But the public does not understand the background of his attacks and the press does not follow through and report on that background. They do just the opposite, if mentioned at all, it is to "debunk" conspiracy, etc. Those damn Russians!

He can't, she hasn't been convicted yet. A president can grant pardons, but it can't grant immunity.

 

[TheCount]

Nope.

The Constitution provides that the President 'shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.'

The power thus conferred is unlimited, with the exception stated. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.

Interesting. To that I'd say 1. Obama never even proven he was eligible to be president. 2. If Hillary was an average citizen she'd be doing life in prison for even 10% of what we know she has done. These aren't people that play by the rules.

 

[Danke]

After her blanket pardon, just extradite her to The Hague for her war crimes.

 

[UWDude]

Nope.

If he dares to grant immunity for the at least 30 or 40 possible corruption and murder charges, there will still be more.
