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

[Yuwipi Woman]

assuming trump loses, i cant see him taking defeat gracefully - he - and his supporters - will be shouting fix and conspiracy. The republican party will turn on him but he'll retain a core support of fuckwits - potentially violent fuckwits. What will trump do next? - keep campaigning to "make america great again" ? Or will his time be taken up fighting lawsuits/prison/bankruptcy? cant see any tv networks wanting him on their payroll.

The leading theory is that he ran because he wanted to stir up support for the Trump cable channel he wants to start after the election. The fact that he's controversal can only be a selling point. And lets face it, his supporters never let facts get in their way.

This is my hope. May he end his days broke and/or behind bars. Then promptly be forgotten.

Not happening. Well, even if Trump vanished from the earth tomorrow, if Trump didn't have a history of serial sexual assault he might well be winning, and the next person who runs on his nativist platform against Clinton (especially if there is a recession during a Clinton presidency) will probably win.

im not convinced he has ever had any sort of strategy other than other indulging his own ego mania. The cable channel looks like a likely career path now though - and he probably has enough fuck knuckles willing to indulge something that will make fox news look like the BBC world service.

Don't you think ..brand trump....is seriously going to take a hit overseas from the US
The association would be quite toxic now .. surely....

 

[two sheds]

Heh

I was idly wondering whether to start using 'trump' as meaning fart again. Seems apt, too.

some journo many months ago had the wit to ask him if he would actually serve if elected and he said "I'll have to see" or similar. i think he ran just to see if he could pull off the biggest "deal" in the world - getting elected president. actually carrying out the office was always an afterthought.

Mr Trump's spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said in a statement emailed to the Washington Post: "Mr Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity. It is totally ridiculous."

Hope Hicks!

Even better he's blaming a Mexican billionaire called Carlos Slim for manufacturing these stories . Carlos Slim ..it's a porn name if ever there was .
He's also , ironically, quite tubby .

It lays it out as some sort of rural/city divide. I don't argue that doesn't exist, but this can just as easily be framed as a gender war too. Someone earlier on the thread posted what the vote would look like if only men or women voted and the maps and outcomes were completely different.

Interesting article. It points out how, when public figures lambast Trump for his sexist comments, they often begin by saying 'As a father of daughters'.

The author questions why it's necessary to establish one's credentials as a father or husband, before denouncing Trump's entitled sexism and claims of having committed sexual assault. The author makes the point that any right thinking person, regardless of marital status, or parental status, should be shocked, angered and disgusted by Trump.

Usually preceded by OUR wives & OUR Daughters. maybe I am being slightly touchy on this, but it does suggest ownership more than anything else?

Aye, also Mexican, as trump was quick to point out, and "tubby" WTF has that got to do with the accusations being made?
As for porn? Yer man comes over as a wannabe porn actor.

Slim is an utter bastard , a full on robber baron and very smart. The Donald ought to be wary of who he is accusing

Good points, hopefully Trump will disappear under a deluge of criminal accusations.
However, the chances that one or more of his supporters will resort to violence when he loses has got to be a source of considerable concern?

Interesting article - similar arguments can be made about the brexit vote and large sections of the working class here.

Very good, but the "touching" is discreet, unless the 'cheek'in the US has a different meaning to us in the UK?

Jeez, wherever I go,whatever I read, there is some heartbroken remainer hijacking the topic with their "we wus robbed" tale of woe, give it a fucking rest, won't you? You lost, live with it.
Your observation re; "the working class" is pretty telling, frothy lattes all round.

I've noticed that too. They're nearly always shortly followed by a jackbooted leaver telling them to sit down and shut up. Wonder how long it will take this time.

"Jackbooted leaver"? Jeez you lot are so up your own hyperbole you seem to have lost the plot!
Haddaway to the guardian comments section, home of the wailing weeping, we will get a second referendum, remainer rearguard.
Though, I suppose Brexit is a topic for conversation on a US presidential thread, as it seems Brexit is the cause of all woes, have you blamed the warm September on Brexit yet?

Sure, "jackbooted leaver". Because the insight that if your opinion in narrowly in the minority you need to "give it a fucking rest" and "live with it" is a little bit sinister, if you don't mind me making that observation.

Summer Zervos, a contestant on the fifth season of The Apprentice, came forward on Friday afternoon to accuse Republican nominee Donald Trump of kissing, groping and thrusting his genitals on her during a business meeting. She is the sixth accuser to come forward alleging sexual misconduct by Trump this week alone. At least four other women, including two former beauty pageant queens, one business associate and his ex-wife Ivana, have made accusations in the past.
