Mr Trump really need to try a little harder with the black vote. I like how he’s reaching out but he needs to voice out a substantial plan that he can point to. A lot of blacks are sceptical and asking exactly what Trump would do differently for the inner city. So far I havent heard of anything, something like a 10 point plan would go a long way to get votes I think.
Not in the slightest; I have no problem with those born into wealth being successful, but there’s a world of difference between starting at the top and crawling your way up there.
And “anyone can go to a good college”? Yeah, after putting in crazy amounts of work in primary/secondary school you might find an upper-tier college (referring to Ivy Leagues and the like) that feels you’re worth taking on with either a ridiculous amount of government assistance or an idiotic loans system that profits off of people being unable to afford their education through regular income. Or your last name can be Trump/Bush and you’ll get in the door at places like Harvard and Yale no problem because they know your last name and they can charge full price with the expectation of every dime being paid in full immediately. Trump didn’t have to struggle to get to where he is while most Americans would struggle to get where he started.
But no, please continue circle-jerking to Trump, I can see thoughtcrimes against the god-emperor are banned now, and none of you are going to listen to criticism against him. We’re going to change up Washington by electing the guys who propped up our politicians in the first place! Praise Emperor Kim President Trump!
What has Trump been saying? Was it about police and shit? He really should let his campaign team tweet for him.
I have to admit that articulation is not his strong suit. He is a business man that gets things done, he isn’t used to sucking up to people or being sensitive.
that kinda matters since public perception is important in allowing presidents to be effective strong leaders. Trump is essentially setting himself up for failure if he can’t address that
without the masses pressuring congress, Trump will fail as a president
Mr. Assange said on Fox News. “We do have some information about the Republican campaign, I mean, from a point of view of an investigative journalist organization like WikiLeaks, the problem with the Trump campaign is it’s actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth every second of the day.”
Spoiler
Martin Shkreli is labeled a villain now because instead of gouging the consumer like most pharma companies, he gouged the insurance companies (because of all dat Obamacare money sliding in). insurance companies used the media to shit on his career because he was taxin’ dat ass. he gives the medication to people who can’t afford it for free.
all successful businesses exploit weaknesses in the market. craving chicken wings but there’s no place that serves them near you? that’s a weakness in the market. a chicken wings place gets built near your house? excellent. if enough people near enough to the restaurant are wing fiends then the business will be successful.
your point? life isn’t fair. not everybody starts at the same place in the race; if you’re behind you have to work harder to reach the pack, but guess what? in America it’s *probable *to succeed if you work hard.
poor minority kids that are willing to work hard to get good grades get a free ride to most ivy league colleges.
people that don’t make it to college can save and invest their money wisely and succeed that way. my cousin dropped out of college in the first semester and wrangled carts at a grocery store. he floated around jobs for a long time, but worked his ass off and saved a good portion of what he made from those various jobs. now he’s a multimillionaire contractor. success isn’t easy, but it’s probable if you work hard.
Watch his NH speech, if you watch a full Trump speech the myth of a lack of detail or articulation goes out the window.
I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t been able to watch his recent rallies but will check it out.
look dude that’s a lie and you know it
look at how he addressed and spoke to people during the debates, or how he speaks in general to the public. He went as far as to say
a good portion of his voter base is extremely anti intellectual. (not saying the other candidates and or party aren’t, both parties benefit from anti intellectualism significantly). I know Trump is using that to his advantage, but i’m also not going to say that he is a well spoken individual becasue i don’t know how he addresses people in private. So since i’ve only been impressed with his speeches that he reads of the teleprompter, i wouldn’t say he’s great at articulation.
he has the best of both worlds in a way. He has articulated teleprompter speeches for the educated and his low brow talk for the proles. This is one his greatest strengths. Hillary and Obama uses identity politics to get people to vote. Obama captured the black vote and Hillary is telling people she has a vagina. Trump doesn’t have these but he can still get through to the common man despite being a billionaire. Romney was a rich white guy like Trump but people thought he was an elitist dick.
Once again, this thread is devolving into a Donald Trump circlejerk. Shout outs to the real niggas who haven’t given up on trying to find a president future generations won’t be ashamed of.
The President you’re looking for isn’t running in this election.
I don’t know what’s going on either

“Hillary’s hard drive” being sold on some candidates website of junk has met its match?
This is 2008 with different names on the same roles:
President with a 8 year long and exhausted run who neither the press nor the people want to know anything about:
2008: Bush
2016: Obama
Party completely disillusioned with its candidate wondering why things stay the same:
2008: Republicans
2016: Democrats
Runner up candidate from the opposition who is idolized to messiah status by its own party and supposedly “stole the candidacy from the establishment”:
2008: Obama
2016 Trump
Candidate from the governing party who is an old wrinkled crook and whose party can’t bother to feel anything towards him even if he / she were the last person on earth:
2008: Mc Cain
2016 Hillary
The whole thing so damn scripted I can’t bother to feel anything to it. Just another turn of the cycle of “I rule for 8 years, I increase immigration and taxes and you pretend to be indignated about it. Your turn: you rule for 8 years, increase state surveillance and blow up the reserves to wage some useless wars and I pretend to be furious about it. And neither of us undoes the doings of the other one anyway.”
Let’s hope the Dems capture the house and actually run shit without republican input since that’s what the pubs have been doing since they got in.
The problem is, I’m not too sure I trust Hillary with a Democrat-run House. Her political machine could let her get away with just about anything, and there won’t be any moderating influence to keep her from being completely corrupt.
LOL @ Democrats passing legislation that’s for the betterment of anybody but their pockets
Obama care was and is a fucking scam
The original draft of the ACA had a public option, which would’ve prevented the nonsense you’re seeing by private health insurers now. Republicans fought tooth and nail to get that shit removed to the detriment of their constituents.
The problem with the Obama-House dynamic is that neither side could find a satisfying compromise. Obama drafted the ACA, Republicans gutted some of the essential pieces that would have completed it so the bill would’ve been doomed to failure. It got passed anyway, so now we’re stuck with a shitty version of what on paper was a solid idea.
This went on for years. Obama finally got sick of having Congress fuck everyone over just to avoid letting him succeed, so he put more stock in Executive Orders to get shit done. Congress might have gotten more sympathy if they tried to create different laws, but the lame-duck Republicans decided it was better to stall in hopes of getting a Republican, which has now backfired horribly for them.
