Trump - Make America Great Again!

Ironic, considering your presidential candidate struggles to string a sentence together. And that's with a team of writers, handlers, and managers prepping his every word.

I have serious reservations about Trump - how is he going to avoid trade wars? How exactly does he plan on balancing the budget? - but the fact that he is supposedly "prepped" and "scripted" is certainly NOT one such concern. Want to know why? HE IS NOT PREPPED AND SCRIPTED. Where are you getting your information?? Let's compare:

See the difference?
 
See the difference?
Not really. Trump is reading from a piece of paper, Clinton from a teleprompter.

The big difference is what they're reading. One of them - with the orange glow, tiny hands and a look on his face like he hasn't taken a decent crap in three weeks - is reading bigoted, hateful bullshit and spreading it like gospel. So yes, you are correct, there is a difference.
 
See the difference?

Here's some of the differences I have found, they are from a hodge podge of sources but easily verified.

On individual rights, Donald Trump is far more conservative than Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump is far more conservative than Hillary Clinton on domestic issues.
When it comes to economic issues, Donald Trump is far more conservative than Hillary Clinton.
In terms of defense and international issues, Donald Trump is slightly more conservative than Hillary Clinton.
http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LE...ld-Trump/RK=0/RS=1TUblKC.meDOfB_KLselhLV8FDU-

Iraq War

Hillary Clinton, in her own words, was one of the politicians “who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein,” only to admit it was a mistake many years later once public opinion had turned against the war.

Trump, on the other hand, was an outspoken opponent of the war beginning in 2003 and 2004, when Hillary continued to defend her vote.

Global Warming

Hillary Clinton: The former secretary of state plans to address global warming by building “half a billion” solar panels and extending green energy tax credits. Hillary stated she will “make the production tax credit for wind and solar permanent.” Clinton says global warming is mostly driven by carbon dioxide from power plants, and has defended the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.

Donald Trump: The real estate mogul has repeatedly written tweets skeptical of global warming. Trump has called global warming a “hoax,” “mythical,” a “con job,” “nonexistent,” and “bullshit.” He views policies created to fight global warming as hurting U.S. manufacturing competitiveness with China.

Most recently, Trumped jumped on Hillary Clinton’s gaffe about putting coal miners and their industry out of business. “I want clean coal. We’ll have clean coal and plenty of it. The coal industry is being decimated and many great people are out of work and they can’t get back into work. Hillary Clinton as you know, she says she wants to put the coal miners out of business never to work again. I don’t know how she can go to West Virginia.”

NAFTA

Trump has consistently said foreign countries are “killing us on trade.” He’s asserted that trade is a zero-sum game, meaning the US is “losing” if it imports more than it exports (a view many economists disagree with). “This has been consistent for Trump for 30 year now: he believes that trade deals are killing this country; he believes politicians have made horrible deals that hurt workers; he believes that China has engaged in the greatest theft in terms of US manufacturing and blue collar jobs,” Goldsmith said. “So his policy is to go after both companies that move jobs and plants overseas as well as countries that promote different policies.”

Clinton’s ideology is more trade-friendly than Donald Trump’s, some of her viewpoints have shifted in recent years in response “to a different political environment.” As a US senator in 2005, Clinton opposed the Central American Free Trade Agreement. She currently opposes the Trans Pacific Partnership — but only after supporting it as secretary of state. If a President Clinton — whose positions are a sort of lagging indicator of liberal sentiment — feels that she needs to submit to progressive pressure on trade, there will be no international trade agreement good enough for her to sign. Unless, that is, she can impose new labor and environmental laws on foreign nations and change economic reality here at home.

The President has significant influence over decisions involving protective duties in response to complaints brought by domestic industries, and could in theory withdraw from existing trade agreements without Congressional approval.

Gay rights

Speaking on the Senate floor in 2004, Hillary Clinton insisted that marriage was “not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman.” She did not believe in a Constitutional Right to gay marriage until 2015.

Trump, on the other hand, was urging Congress to amend the Civil Right Acts to extend protection to gay people as early as February 2000. “It’s only fair,” he said in an interview with The Advocate. Trump also said the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, enacted under the Bill Clinton administration, had “clearly failed.”

Personal health

Hillary suffered a “cracked head” in 2012, and the extent of her injury remains shrouded in mystery. According to aides, she is “often confused,” and appears to experience memory loss on a regular basis. She is rumored to struggle with mobility issues.

Trump, on the other hand, was recently diagnosed as being in “astonishingly excellent” physical health and, according to his personal physician, would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Common Core

Trump, has loudly and frequently denounced Common Core, describing it as a “disaster” that he would “repeal” as president. It’s not clear how Trump actually will eliminate Common Core, short of trying to ban it, which would go flatly against Trump’s position that education should be locally controlled.

Other than sundry comments, though, Trump hasn’t really fleshed out his Common Core position. Education in general isn’t included on Trump’s campaign website, and his views have mostly just come out as side comments during speeches and press conferences.

Clinton, like most establishment Democrats, has been solidly supportive of Common Core from the start. During one of her first campaign stops, at an Iowa college, Clinton gave the standards a strong endorsement, and she hasn’t backed off from that, even though some Democrats have started to show skepticism. Clinton has praised the Core as a “nonpartisan” endeavor and has characterized the backlash against it as “painful.”

That support isn’t surprising, because Clinton has in the past supported federal interventions in education far stronger than Common Core. In 2007, she introduced a bill that would have formed a national panel to create uniform math and science standards for the whole country, paving the way for national curricula and tests.

On Stage

At the annual LOL With LLS comedy night benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at the PlayStation Theatre Monday night, Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost described the major difference between working with Clinton versus Trump. Namely, the entourage. "Hillary Clinton had been on our show two weeks before. Hillary showed up. Hillary brought like 15 people. She brought a publicist, her campaign manager, friends, security," said Jost. "You would go in her room to tell her something about a sketch. You would go in and you would, like, whisper to someone. And they would whisper to someone else. And they would whisper into the shadows. And then Hillary would emerge from the shadows, and she would take your hand and say, ‘It’s so great to be here.’ And she would drift back into the shadows. And you’re like, ‘Did that happen? I don’t know if that happened.’”

Donald Trump, who hosted SNL back in November, was a completely different story, according to Jost. "Donald Trump showed up with zero people. Zero. He had no friends, he had no security — so there’s opportunities. He had no advisers, which is perhaps not surprising," said Jost. "I honestly think that Donald Trump’s only adviser is his doorman.

This doesn't include all their differences by any means but it shows a significant split in direction for this Country should one or the other gain the Oval Office.

We are coming off of the most racially motivated President in history (even more so than LBJ - "I'll have them niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.").

For the Left to call Trump a bigot while licking the polish off of Bammy's shoes is rich indeed.

See the difference?

Guh? Is your point that Trump does NOT have handlers, speechwriters, managers, pollsters, lobbyists, etc.. ?

That's wrong. One of his managers (his Numero Uno, actually) was in the news, in fact, arrested for assaulting a reporter then allegedly a protester. So there's at least one.

Welcome to the board FNG.

Don't think I need to know "everything about" you to point out that you were being a Spellcheck cop. It's just weird that your standards for bloggers and presidential candidates are so different. You demand greatness of an e-reporter, but are fine with a candidate who struggles to speak.

Not an FNG, fwiw, I've lurked here for several years.

I don't see how that makes Trump NOT a bigot, though. Or perhaps you're just generally fine with it.

When someone attempts to post evidence or "knowledge" from a source that can't construct a simple English sentence, it's important to note the source should be questioned.

The point is that you still support the guy as PRESIDENT. But this reporter, who mistakenly typed "his" rather than "he"? HACK, can't type, waste of time, moving on.

LOL. You really, truly think Obama thought we had 57 states? An adult male, working in politics, thought we had 57 states?

Jeebus creebus. Some of you are truly too far gone. Luckily, most folks who think like you are (a) well into their 80s or 90s and/or (b) fitted into an early-model Rascal scooter that can't get up the hills at the polling places.

My god, the man's a genius! I mean, he not only sees through the facade of global warming, which was invented by the Chinese, he says. He's also realized that California's drought doesn't exist!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/27/trump-tells-california-there-is-no-drought.html

Even this Fox News piece mocks the guy's inability to sound sane.

You do realize that Southern California is one of the greatest engineering feats in world history right? Man was not intended to live there as it's a desert. Man created aqueducts and reservoirs on a mind boggling immense scale to support life in much of California. These man-made water-providing systems are essential to life in SoCA.

While Trump shouldn't have said there is no drought, his intent is obvious. The drought wouldn't be causing the problems it is if not for Liberal politicians and radical environmentalists. California dumps TRILLIONS of gallons of fresh water into the ocean annually to protect the delta smelt.

Now go on and tell us how dumping trillions of gallons of water into the ocean a) has no effect on providing water to residents of California, and b) how it makes sense to protect sm

http://joeforamerica.com/2015/04/ca...ns-fresh-water-ocean-declares-water-shortage/

California Dumps a Trillion Gallon of Fresh Water in Ocean – Declares Water Shortage

California is dumping a trillion gallons of fresh Water in the ocean. Only liberals would declare a water shortage disaster after spending years dumping good, fresh water into the ocean to protect a non-endangered bait fish.

For years now, the southern 1/3 of the beautiful San Joaquin Valley’s farmland has been turned into a “man-made” dust bowl.

The water is being allowed to just run off the mountains, through the river system, through the delta, and out into the ocean. The water is being reserved for the little Delta Smelt, a three inch bait fish, that is not endangered species list.

Now, California is in the midst of a drought. As the Governor institutes water emergency rules, they just let all that water just keep pouring into the ocean. Unbelievable!

The I-5 San Joaquin Valley corridor is marked with signs begging Nancy Pelosi to turn the water on. Sean Hannity hosted a full show from Hanford, CA to highlight the problem. Phone calls and letters from all over the country have been sent to try to fix this situation.

Comedian Paul Rodriguez, co-chair of Latino Water Coalition, crosses the state working to remove the environmental protection on the Delta smelt.

Representative Devin Nunes, (CA) describes the situation in the WSJ back in 2009.

Today the San Joaquin Valley is being transformed into a dust bowl. Hundreds of thousands of acres are fallow, while almond and plum trees are being left to die in the scorching sun.

Tens of thousands of people have been tossed out of work—the town of Mendota alone has an unemployment rate of about 40%—and the lines for food donations stretch down streets. The reason? There isn’t enough water to go around this year, and the Obama administration is drawing up new reasons to divert more of it from farms and people and into the San Francisco Bay.

Devon Nunes also stated in an interview along side Paul Rodriguez, “There’s a half a million acres of farmland, it’s bigger than the size of Rhode Island, that’s now dry because of these fools!”

David Spady reports that, “California’s man-made water crisis led to $2.2 billion in losses, water rationing, rising food costs, and the destruction of small family businesses.”

The destruction is horrific. Businesses lost, property values lost, jobs lost, crop production lost, food cost increases, just to begin.

Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina recently weighed in on the subject. She said that as a result, 70 percent of California’s rainfall “washes out to sea” every year…California is a classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology. It is a tragedy,”

The Climate Change, Save the Whale, Hug the Tree, Save the Baitfish crowd consistently uses a false narrative to to accomplish their political agenda. Now scientists are predicting a 35 year mega-drought in the West. When does the madness stop?

Environmental and endangered species laws are being used to force a political agenda, and in the process, doing severe damage to our country.

Filmmaker David Spady is working on a movie to highlight the travesty. No Water. No Farmer. No Food. reveals the extent to which both rural and urban populations rely on the nation’s agricultural industry.

This is a must watch trailer. David does a great job of framing the problem.



I truly hope Trump makes it the White House. No other candidate will even recognize the root of this problem. The engineering is there to avoid the effects of California's regular droughts, that have occurred and will continue to occur throughout history. If you thwart the engineering in favor of a fish, you can't then blame the climate for the problem.

I'd like you to support that he is. I'd like you to show how he's been any more bigoted than, say, President Obama. Let's go.

Obama is irrelevant here. So are David Duke, Bea Arthur, and Kubla Khan. Whether or not the last guy was racist (and I believe Obama certainly was/is) doesn't mean the margin of error for racism goes up. You don't just explain away future shittiness because one of our recent Presidents was racist, too.

- His company was sued by the U.S. Justice Department in 1973 for not renting to black tenants, and for quoting different rents/terms for potential black tenants. He settled out of court, but was sued again three years later - again by the Justice Department - for telling black tenants that certain available apartments weren't available.

- His casino has been fined for treating black employees differently than white ones. Past employees have claimed extreme racism from Trump's mouth. His former Casino/Hotel president quotes Trump as saying, "And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” Another quote, on a black casino employee: "I think the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

- He's been publicly supported by white supremacy groups, yet he doesn't condemn them.

When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if he would condemn [former KKK leader David] Duke and say he didn’t want a vote from him or any other white supremacists, Trump claimed that he didn’t know anything about white supremacists or about Duke himself. When Tapper pressed him twice more, Trump said he couldn’t condemn a group he hadn’t yet researched.

By Feb. 29, Trump was saying that in fact he does disavow Duke, and that the only reason he didn’t do so on CNN was because of a “lousy earpiece.” Video of the exchange, however, shows Trump responding quickly to Tapper’s questions with no apparent difficulty in hearing.

That took less than 10min of research.

No disagreement. What candidate out there isn't a bigot and a racist in their own way? What candidate out there doesn't spout error after error? What candidate out there isn't chock full of sins? The sad reality is, it's pick your poison time.

And further to my point...and let's not forget that former KKK member Robert Byrd was propped up for decades by the Democrats. But Trump having endorsements from supremacy groups is somehow evil. He hasn't acknowledged them. Democrats supported white supremacists. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

During a campaign speech Thursday in South Carolina that addressed the progressive notion of “white privilege,” the former secretary of state (Hillary Clinton) claimed that even “open-minded” white people still get nervous when approached by a young black man wearing a hoodie.

Even the Liberal HuffPo calls her out for it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-rucker/can-black-people-trust-hillary_b_9312004.html - How Can Black People Trust Hillary Clinton After the 2008 Campaign?

Sanders calls Hillary out for being a racist: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat..._out_hillary_clinton_for_racist_language.html - Bernie Called Out the Clintons for “Racist” Language, and Hillary Didn’t Even Bat an Eye


The very Liberal Salon: http://www.salon.com/2016/02/26/hil...blem_and_its_resurfacing_at_a_dangerous_time/ - Hillary Clinton has a race problem — and it’s resurfacing at a dangerous time

“They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” Clinton warned the public at the time. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we need to bring them to heel.

Let's not forget Hillary's stand up routine, referring to CP (colored people's) time.

This.. this is who votes.

No, I don't. I know better. It wasn't a matter of joking. As I said, even the VERY LIBERAL run Snopes, who investigated this supported that it was likely fatigue, but it was an error. The man's actual words:

"... it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in fifty .... seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not justify it."

Then, pursuant to those comments, the man himself said:

Talking with reporters at a later campaign stop, Senator Obama expressed concern that he'd recently misstated both the number of potential victims of a recent cyclone in Burma and the number of states he'd visited, saying: "I hope I said 100 thousand people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh ..."

He admitted his error. He fessed up to it. He expressed CONCERN.

You believe he was joking LOL when he himself was concerned about his errant comments.

Proof that people will see exactly what they want to see, facts be damned.
 
LOL! JoeForAmerica.com?! Literally, Joe the Plumber's website? Is this your primary news source, or just one of many?

I have now seen All the Internet.

How many links would you like? The fact is irrefutable - California diverts trillions of gallons of water into the ocean. Let's go back to class:

Would Forbes work for you? http://www.forbes.com/sites/ashoka/...er-flow-straight-into-the-ocean/#1830d3bd6197 - Why Does California Let Billions Of Gallons Of Fresh Water Flow Straight Into The Ocean?

Ashoka: What is the biggest misconception about the extended drought in California and why is this problematic?

Andy Lipkis: The biggest misconception is that it doesn’t rain in California. The fact is, it does rain, even in Los Angeles and southern California. But we throw away most of that water because rather than collect it, we let it drain into the sea.

The Wall Street Journal? Would that suffice? - http://www.wsj.com/articles/forget-the-missing-rainfall-california-wheres-the-delta-smelt-1430085510 -

Forget the Missing Rainfall, California. Where’s the Delta Smelt?
Guided by bad science, regulators are flushing away millions of gallons of water to protect a three-inch fish.


To protect smelt from water pumps, government regulators have flushed 1.4 trillion gallons of water into the San Francisco Bay since 2008. That would have been enough to sustain 6.4 million Californians for six years.

A science journal? - http://www.science20.com/science_20/california_government_is_the_big_water_management_problem-154625 - California Government Is The Big Water Management Problem

It is raining in California as I write this but most of it will do little good. The rain is going to go to a gutter and the gutter will go to a stream and that will go to an ocean.

Yes, much of the fresh water that California has runs into the Pacific Ocean. You might wonder why the Pacific Ocean needs so much, since 96 percent of Earth's water is already in oceans, but the oceans are not asking for it. Instead, it is due to anti-science policies lobbied for by well-heeled California environmentalists.

Environmental regulations mandate that water that would sustain 4.4 million families gets flushed this way, regardless of drought conditions (however, farmers do get penalized during a drought, the environment must come before food). Meanwhile, Governor Jerry Brown just now got around to mandating water conservation among his wealthiest and most loyal voters. It had to be mandated because the wealthy are not conserving anything the way the more agricultural sections of California have been doing for two years.

Now what is your next argument? That despite these facts, despite the studies, this is irrelevant? The water dumped into the ocean to save a bait fish would supply millions on millions of families. So what's your next turn? Back to Donald Trump is an idiot?
 
Dos anybody know who the mystery candidate is?

This election is insane.

I'm guessing the Dems are going to trot out Pocahantas (yes, yes, yes, I know it's a mystery independent or R candidate).

Just to interject something here, the Delta Smelt is extinct in the wild. The only place they exist is in a few fish farms run by the state of California. The government of California is allowing billions of ACRE FEET of fresh water to simply run off into the pacific for zero reason. It has nothing to do with the environment, the fish hasn't existed in the wild since the 1980s. This is about feel good activism by special interest groups who donate big money to whichever Pol will kowtow to their demands.
