Top Trump strategist quits, writes an open letter warning America about him

@nemomen

Good Lord, this is definitely the most unhinged primary in my life.

You not planing to be alive for the next one? I am betting it will be worse.

I… don’t think you’re intentionally insulting me?

Eh? Not intentionally…did I insult you?? My apologies–certainly didn’t intend that to be the message.

I was thinking along the lines of Ms. Cegielski clearly lacking the necessary amount of scruples (as a freakin self-described “policy wonk”, no less) to make one of the most obvious leaps in American politics, namely, that Donald Drumpf is not “Presidential material” or even anywhere near it.

However, if you still feel that your honor has been pricked, then we shall meet on the Yooge battlefield to settle the matter. Your choice of weapon: pancakes without syrup; golf balls and trashcan lids; or, witty reparte’.

I recommend you go for the first or last choice, 'cause Trent from second grade will verify that I’m damn near deadly with the middle.

Indeed. She didn’t seem to have much of a problem with his being horrible and hateful when it was directed towards the “right” people.

One does wonder a bit, though, if someone from the mainstream party visited her and pointed out that Trump would be at best a one term President, she has a lot more working years ahead of her, nice little PR firm you got here, wouldn’t want it boycotted would you?

@Mister44

But they generally see the Conservative ideals in how the government being run as being more important to vote for than someone championing for social causes. They figure that as times change, their acceptance will be eventual, and they are actually helping speed that along with some people by showing that “Look, I am Transgender, but I am just like you. I like to drive big trucks, drink beer, and blow stuff up.”

Right. Because conservative thought has obviously done that with regard to women as a whole. I wish them the best of luck in that regard.[quote=“Vert, post:84, topic:75798, full:true”]

Riiiiiggghhhhttttt because all conservatives are misogynists, yet no liberal is…

Caricatures of either side serve not purpose other than preventing empathy, growth, and understanding.

And yes, actually, I saw a poll and YOUNG republicans are MUCH more accepting of gays than the OLDER ones. It is a generational issue that will change as social norms change. The problem is you can’t legislate what is in your heart and they know this. You can legislate what your tax dollars are spent on.

From the article:

"Mr Lewandowksi is absolutely innocent of this charge," the Trump statement said. "He is completely confident that he will be exonerated."

I’m a little surprised Drumpf backed off on this–usually the quote goes, “We are confident that XXX will be exonerated…”

Maybe the next politician from the Paul family will get the GOP nomination?

Keep hoping!

Eventually, in a few years, when all the olds have died. Honest!

[drsdl]

Strategy. Or tactic (I always mix those two up ).

The next one won’t be until Herr Commandant Drumpf, Commander for Life, shuffles off this mortal coil…

Please underline the caricature I postulated. Oh, wait, I didn’t do any such thing. That anyone would point to conservative thought

As for conservative thought standing up for 1) how well the USG is run, or 2) women’s rights, or the rights of anyone not white, hetero, and male…I’ll let you stun me with a list of forward-thinking conservative thought leaders holding those particular attitudes because I think it will be a short list. Not a short-fingered vulgarian list, mind you, but a list nonetheless.

Came here for Top Trumps, was disappointed.

@epk

they plastered the side of a historic old building with “The Silent Majority For Trump” signs. If you’re plastering buildings, you ain’t silent.

Also, as all the polls show, they aren’t a majority-- Trump wins primaries with only 35% of the GOP vote, so it’s about 1/3rd of roughly 1/2 of the voting public-- he doesn’t even have a majority of the Republican party.
