Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

[frogwoman]

It's because of ron paul's jew conspiracies/NWO shit

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

So if Trump gets the Republican nomination but then flops at the election (as he inevitably will), who's betting on the gun-nut militia types kicking off? The USA really does seem ludicrously divided right now.

Ah, right. He has said some barmy things (just had a Google - wasn't paying him that much attention when he just seemed to be a rich Presidential race also-ran).

Follow Doug Henwood on Twitter and he's getting flak for pointing out that a lot of liberals are buying into the collective responsibility line by wanting Muslims especially to counter terrorist ideology, which fits with this discourse dragging it all further rightward.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants

but no, seriously I don't see it. I can see plenty of conspiracy theories springing up about secret jews keeping him out of the whitehouse etc though

it's nuts that all these militias are allowed to exist (look at the bundy ranch thing) and now literally can't be disarmed without a bloodbath.

Even cameron has now condemned trumps statement. possibly the only sensible thing he's ever said.

 

[8den]

katie hopkins has said she's going to the US if he wins

Silver linings and all that.

Here's a sad thing: I've got a crazy old aunty lives in Florida, she's a very stupid zionist and a big fan of Bush etc. There are quite a few, and apparently increasing numbers of , older jewish people like her who will (I think) find Trump and his ideas quite attractive. Won't stop it being her fault when he doesn't get to be president, of course.

 

[DotCommunist]

I wonder where exactly these people draw the line? Nod at that, nod at that , WOAH now there nelly, not that far. Thats basically hitler

 

[weltweit]

Surely he is alienating too many voters to win.

 

[frogwoman]

fairly sure my grandma would vote for him if she lived in the US

Donald won't be the president but I do worry about his son Eric, if things carry on this way he might have a real chance.

 

[frogwoman]

Idris2002 wasn't it you that was talking about the possibility of civil war in the US a while back?

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Do you reckon he is serious about wanting to become president? Or is it all just an exercise in testing how far the public can be pushed to the right, but with no real expectation of him getting into power?

Oh I think he is serious. Often misguided in his utterances if he wants to garner significant support but serious, yes.

Don't know. He definitely seems stupid enough to not have any sort of hidden deeper agenda though.

 

[DotCommunist]

I think he has the self belief, the arrogance and the stupidity to believe he can win. Remember how he deal with facts he doesn't like? just calls them wrong and rubbishes the person saying it. So you could show him the electoral maths and he'd repeat some inane phrase a few times while saying that your research is shit- he, the mighty trump gets anything done.

Donald Trump wants to ban the internet, will ask Bill Gates to ‘close it up’

Donald Trump wants to ban the internet, will ask Bill Gates to ‘close it up’

so we can add 'how the web works' as another thing he doesn't understand.

as well as the concept of 'retired to do philanthropic work' as gates has

Donald Trump wants to ban the internet, will ask Bill Gates to ‘close it up’

Children in America are “watching the internet and they want to be masterminds”, Trump said in a speech.

 

[bimble]

I'm really glad that he is so obviously an idiot, Donald Trump, that he's happy to go way too far in such obvious ways. He'd be a lot more dangerous if he wasn't exactly who is, like if he was slightly less stupid.

"We're losing a lot of people because of the internet"

 

[frogwoman]

they need to keep him away from twitter for a start.

Does he not tweet?

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

 

[frogwoman]

yes he does

 

[frogwoman]

“We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people."

 

[bimble]

yes he does

oh. found it.
