Well then why are Cruz, Rubio, and even KASICH (lmao) beating hillary in head to head? The polls aren't exactly that accurate this far out, they are an average of early Feb through early March.

I was just asking what the basis was for your statement of his 'broad appeal'. I agree that the polls aren't very instructive right now but I find it hilarious how quickly you shift back and forth on whether we should use them when it's convenient.

It's also remarkable to refer to someone who has the largest negative approval ratings in history that I am aware of as having 'broad appeal'. He seems to be very broadly hated if that's what you mean.

But Trump said he wouldn't take any money, he won't technically, he'll let Adelson fund PACs for him.

well he won't take it. It will be given to him! duh!

I have little faith in him or hillary. Both are going to do whatever they can to make there friends and themselves richer. no matter if it hurts the US or not.

Though I think you can say the same for all of them running. except for maybe BS

Last night showed that educated people (FL, IL) broke for him. A small portion of latinos break for him as seen in NV. He's endorsed by all types of different people from civil rights leader Evers to billionaire jew Adelson to strict conservative Sessions. His appeal is widening despite the outdated unfavorability ratings. I'm waiting for a violent leftist to injure him at a rally so then he'll get the sympathy vote. His opponents may not like him, but nobody pulling the PC card (i.e. all of the media) are going to condone that.

So your basis is basically nothing. Gotcha.

I'm all in favor of violence at the convention and a breakdown of American law and order. So I'm hoping his attitude is one step in that direction. So does anyone else think he's implying or encouraging violence with this particular statement of his? This story is only a few hours old from what I can tell browsing the net.

He should threaten violence... That's one of the problems in this country, that you don't see in eu, because the govt is afraid of the people.

You are so delusional it's not even funny...

From the money we can track, she and her husband have made over 150 million in a decade! That doesn't include campaign donations, or their fake charity that they use as their personal piggy bank either.

Hillary is for every corporate welfare program you can name, including for profit prisons, and endless wars.

For asking a question you don't seem to be willing to answer? Yeah, I'm the delusional one./s

Your question should be rhetorical..... I did answer it though, but I am sure you will pretend 100s of millions in bribes is kosher.

No you didn't answer the question, you simply spewed shit and you think it's an answer. Most of Clintons money came from speeches and book deals, just like a lot of famous people/politician's.

Like I said, moronic dribble.... You are so fucking delusional it's shocking!

I could at least respect someone that said everyone else is getting bribes too... At least that is a reasoned response!

I'm not saying it's a slam dunk that his statement means violence. You can have riots without violence. It's possible. The thread is mainly to get other opinions of his meaning, not just my hopes.



Violence is indeed part and parcel of the definition of a riot. If it's not violent, it's not a riot. Well, unless you mean someone or something that is very funny.

Definition of riot: public violence, tumult, or disorder; a violent public disorder; specifically : a tumultuous disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled together and acting with a common intent

Everyone loves Trump, even rich Jews who own the biggest paper in Israel. That's despite 26% of Jews voting conservative. That shows his broad appeal - Reagan Dems and billionaire Jews.
Umm.. those rich Jews are the people who control Trump. His entire campaign is just yet another hostile takeover by Carl Icahn... this time of the biggest prize of all, the US federal government. Shareholder vote is November 8th.

Already saw this in Oregon a little over a month ago. Despite all the talk, almost no one showed up and they left their fellow 'patriots' out to dry.

He's worth 10bil. Nobody owns him, sorry. But nice tinfoil hat that you're wearing.

Trump just confirmed Republicans are instigating the violence on the campaign trail not protestors.

It's actually closer to 2 or 3 billion, but it's not like it really matters. Unless you're a cheap ass like Trump.

Importantly most of his self-funding is a loan; 69% of the campaign's funding is debt that has to be paid back either using other donations or by the candidate himself. Mr Trump has so far only spent $250,318 of his money on his presidential bid.

I really shouldn't bother with you, but no. That's his own estimate, and he won't release his financials. But even cursory vetting has revealed that most of what he claims to own is in fact just his name licensed out. Trump is all facade. Hell of a supersalesman, but that's it.

Trump is filthy rich and he is in his 60s he won the how many digits can I add to my net worth. He has a big ego and wants to add another notch to his belt. He wants to finish his presidency and point to all the naysayers and say "see i made america better" his greed is greed of ego, money no longer feeds it as much as being president and showing all the naysayers they were wrong.

So yeah i think i will take my chances and vote for trump. I already know what you get with a clinton term.
