President of the US Picks

Good luck with that! Should have done your research!

"Many moons ago, Trump said Bill Clinton was a ‘victim’ to an ugly group of female accusers.

Donald Trump plans to make former President Bill Clinton’s sexual history come back to haunt him by labelling him as an “abuser” of women.

Yet nearly two decades ago, Trump verbally abused the very people he purports to defend—and even suggested Clinton was a “victim.”

During an August 1998 appearance on Fox News, the real estate mogul was asked about then-President Clinton’s multiple alleged extramarital affairs and sexual harassment cases. Trump proceeded to rail against the Clinton accusers.

“The whole thing, it’s just so unattractive,” the orange-hued demagogue told host Neil Cavuto, according to transcripts. “Linda Tripp may be one of the most unattractive human beings I’ve ever seen—not women, human beings. She’s just an unattractive person. This [Lucianne] Goldberg person, her agent or whatever she is, is just a terrible woman. You look at Paula Jones, I mean the whole cast of characters.”

He added: “It’s like it’s from Hell. It’s a terrible group of people.”

Seconds later, Trump felt the need to reiterate his obsession with their appearance. “The whole group, it’s truly an unattractive cast of characters—Linda Tripp, Lucianne Goldberg—I mean, this woman—I watch her on television, just vomiting. She is so bad. The whole group—Paula Jones, Lewinsky—it’s just a really unattractive group.

“And I’m not just talking about physical, but I am also talking about physical.”

Trump noted, however, that if the accusers were supermodels they “would be more pleasant to watch.”

He also expressed some sympathy for Bubba: “I don’t necessarily agree with his victims. His victims are terrible. He is really a victim himself. But he put himself in that position.”

Take it you’re not voting Trump then? Are you eyeing a 3rd party, or writing in? What’s Push’s plan?

I rode the bus. Dad was on the road driving a truck, when I lived with him. Mom was gone too early working, when I was living with her.

_In a January 2000 appearance with then-Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, Trump even attacked Linda Tripp, the Pentagon employee who taped her private conversations with Lewinsky in which they discussed her sexual encounters with Clinton, as “the personification of evil.”_

_In an October 2008 interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Trump tore into President George W. Bush for getting the U.S. into war “with lies,” remarking that by comparison, his predecessor “got into with something that was totally unimportant.” He added: “And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.”_

I consider myself conservative (generally), but not a doctrinaire one, and certainly not a “movement conservative”. I’m certainly not a right-winger, but I don’t think and never have thought that “conservative” and “right wing” are synonymous.

That said, regardless of where I sit on the ideological spectrum, I believe that America benefits when there are two smart, competitive parties vying for offices, and one of those parties should represent conservative interests (broadly defined). That party - the GOP - had made real gains in that space, but forfeited it with the rise of Trump.

That is a net loss for the country, whether you are conservative or liberal, and the fact that modern conservatism basically burnt itself to the ground is bad. Really bad.

But that was the old Trump. Pressed by CNBC on Thursday as to how he could simultaneously brand himself as a populist who will take on wealthy elites while proposing sweeping tax cuts for billionaires, Trump backed away from his plan.

“I am not necessarily a huge fan of that,” he said. “I am so much more into the middle class who have just been absolutely forgotten in our country.”

Trump described his tax proposal, which was the most detailed policy paper he put out in the campaign, as merely a starting point for a future deal.

“You know, when you put out a tax plan, you are going to start negotiating,” he said. “You don’t say, ‘OK, this is our tax plan, lots of luck, folks.’ There will be negotiation back and forth. And I can see that going up, to be honest with you.”

Trump’s abrupt dismissal of his own tax plan, which he regularly cited on the campaign trail, came a day after he signaled a willingness to raise the federal minimum wage, which would be a major reversal from his stance in the primaries.

“I am open to doing something with it, because I don’t like that,” Trump told CNN on Wednesday after being asked if he thought the $7.25 minimum wage should be increased.

Trump added that “you have to have something that you can live on” and that his willingness to entertain a wage increase showed he was “very different from most Republicans.”

We shall see.

It should be evident that the people want Trump, regardless of what the GOP, as an organization, wants. Regardless of opinions of Trump, I don’t see how people don’t understand this.

What you think the GOP stands for, CLEARLY, isn’t what the majority of constituents want. So who’s wrong, Reince, or the majority of the Republican registered voters?

A true conservative would leave that to the people to decide, right?

I’ll give him credit for the focus on the middle class. Sadly, the vehicle for that message happens to be an amoral, conspiracy-prone, con-man.

What a majority of constituents want even more than trump is for their party win, or at least prevent the dems from winning. By Trump being the front runner they lost what they REALLY want so I’d consider that a failure.

Ah, the odds. Here’s the guru of statistics, the person who correctly called every state in the 2012 election in advance by a margin of a percentage point, calling the Trump team “delusional” for believing that Trump will be the presumptive nominee by the middle of May.

The tweet is from a month ago. And guess who was…wait for it… delusional?

For these election cycle, polls and big data analysis are useless, and the flood of articles explaining how Trump will not be president. Every single statistical prediction, poll, opinion piece and pundit analysis in the last year about Trump and his nomination chances has been completely wrong.

I did my research. What you fail to understand, and you do this repeatedly is that people today don’t care what someone said 20 years ago. What they care about is what is being said TODAY. That is why Trump who has donated money to Hillary in the past can be forgiven. I know…I know it makes no sense but those are the facts Sloth.

Therefore, when Trump begins his assault on Bill and Hillary’s treatment of the many bimbos her negatives will begin to climb higher than Trumps. And…if he talks about Juanita Broadrick who was allegedly raped by Bill Clinton the negatives climb even higher (I believe there were others who also fall in this category). Then add to that Hillary helping Bill cover up these assaults and Hillary’s poll numbers with women fall even further. Sure she will still probably win women but not by a lot and not nearly what she needs to win.

You keep showing up and making sense. Yep…

And that is why he will win over a very large minority of democrats (and most independents) who will gladly cross party lines and vote for someone who speaks their language.

Sloth I will give you a chance to get out of the bet if you like. Hillary is not winning.

And then says…

You’ve absolutely contradicted yourself. “Nobody cares what someone said 20 years ago, so Trump’s attacks on the same women, in defense of the Clintons, won’t work. So then he can move forward to talk about what Hillary said 20 years ago…”

WHAT?!

In any event, you actually tried to make Hillary out to be worse because she talked bad about these women. But he DID THE EXACT SAME THING TO THE SAME EXACT WOMEN for his pals the Clintons! Now, let me tell you what any amateur politician is going to do IF Trump really starts down this avenue…

“Well, it’s interesting Trump would bring this up. You see [his statements from the article above are quoted]. The difference is that I was a wife who didn’t want to believe my husband had done this to me. For my husband, with whom I had exchanged vows, I put my faith in our marriage. Unfortunately, it turned out that our marriage hadn’t lived up to those vows. Something Donald should know about. Anyways, I will not relive it here, because though we’ve worked through it, it’s still painful. And that is my explanation for saying what I may have said during that period of time. Trump, on the other-hand, attacked them for simply being ugly. And that it, as he said, wasn’t even important.” Women are going to hate him even more.

She’s going to destroy him on it. She’ll let it percolate a bit, then call a press conference where–with barely restrained tears–she will lay out something resembling the above. The wife who wanted to believe her husband vs. the “hey, I’m a misogynist who hates ugly women. They make me we want to puke. Bill is the victim for having messed with those uglies! Too bad they weren’t super-models hardy-har-har!” Like Obama did to him over the birther stuff lol. She’ll give him lot’s of rope to hang himself, and then BAM, out comes his quotes, and a reasonable difference between the two during the time.

Nope. Hillary is going to make him into a pair of clownshoes. Bet is on!

Looking through the GoP side of the internet I stumbled upon this at Hotair.com.

Those are latino voters. And then goes on to note the spike in latino voter registration (gosh, wonder why)…Good thing he loves taco bowls.
