Univision Dumps Trump: Cancels MISS USA Pageant.[W:80]

Mustachio said:

There are so many reasons to not like Trump I don't know where to start. How about that he seems like the most superficial, egotistical person in the world and the only things he cares about are himself, money, and his money. I don't believe for a second that he would help Americans on purpose. He would do everything in his power to use the office to endorse his brand and himself, constantly cheapening the office. On top of that, he's clearly a xenophobe (if not outright racist). He's completely fabricated, from his appearance, to his wife to his "brand" and properties and television shows to his audiences and entire campaign. He's a disgusting human being.

So was that the answer you were guessing?

i don't see this as necessarily driving hispanic voters to the left. maybe if he were made the face of the gop that would happen, but its too early. it will depend on the final nominee

you can go back a few decades and see Rs do as well as 37% (Reagan '84) and 40% (W. Bush '04), or as bad as 21% (Dole '96) or 27% (Romney '12) when it comes to the hispanic share of the vote. while they do generally lean left, they are not nearly as monolithic as the african american vote

as a political junkie, i love primary season. i just wish things were more interesting on the left, kind of boring with just Hillary (and Bernie kind of).

i think trump is an utter buffoon but i do think he will force the other squeamish candidates to take hard stances on some issues and should be an entertaining watch in the debates

As Hillary is the presumptive Dem. nominee, ALL of the GOP candidates will take their turns at her.

And that will be all the excitement you will want from that side of the fence.

She is an awful person. NO ONE who knows her and isn't tied to her campaign (for God knows what reasons!) will vote for her.

And to those of you who say she's got millions of supporters, I go back to my bottom line.

NO ONE WHO KNOWS HER WILL VOTE FOR HER.

So, if you would consider voting for her, chances are good you don't know her...YET.

Get to know Hillary by watching the film she tried to ban. And for good reason!

Tell me you would vote for Hillary Clinton after watching, "Hillary: The Movie."

You can't.

No one would.

There are some people who seem to operate based on the shifting tides of fashion and public opinion.

Do you realize the position you have expressed?

You are saying that a Presidential candidate should pander to lawbreakers in order to win the votes of those who support illegal activities.

Illegal aliens are breaking the law. That's why they are called ILLEGAL aliens.

Those who support them are actively or tacitly encouraging illegal acts against the US people and government.

Trying to win the votes of people who encourage law breaking is insane.

Insane and absolutely sends the wrong message to them and to the world.

How about if political candidates all tried to court the votes of the friends, family members and associates of the appx 7,000,000 individuals incarcerated or on parole/probation in the country?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_StatesWikipedia

If let's say, each guest of the city, county, state or Fed has 3 loved ones or associates that means 21,000,000 votes, appx.

What if the POTUS candidates pandered to them?

What might they promise?

Conjugal visits for all once a month? At the expense of tax payers? Booze and Pot made accessible at the inmate's expense? Hell, let's make sure we get those votes. Do away with jails and prisons and the justice department and law enforcement altogether!

That way think of all the money we would save!

'The GOP would do well to dump Trump too...along with every other presidential candidate that can't seem to keep from pandering to the part of the party that's not too friendly towards law breakers, inmates and convicts.'

Your idea sends the absolutely wrong message to Mexico and Mexicans, that they have a RIGHT to come here illegally and that not only SHOULDN'T we say anything about it of a critical nature, that we should pander to those who break our laws and act as though it is expected that we should also kiss their behinds.

The era of that kind of thinking is coming to a close in Nov. 2016.

Get used to the idea that your entire paradigm will be flushed.

It will be a long time before the Progressive fashion becomes fashionable again in America. I predict it will return right after these garments come back into vogue.

Mornin Glen. :2wave: I wouldn't put to much into that poll. It only sampled 500 people. But Trump isn't a Republican.....he just hasn't figured that out yet.

Let's stick with Detroit for a moment, shall we? Why are almost all suburbs doing better than Detroit, which in the 50's was one of the wealthiest big cities in America? Don't you think they were/are producing automotive parts too?

A little knowledge can give one a dangerously simplistic view of things.

Atlantic City used to be the only gaming venue on the East Coast.

Now gambling revenues are diluted by legalized gambling casinos in several other nearby states in addition to state lotteries and the Powerball and etc.

Why the Donald didn't diversify is the question. But he is now a smarter businessman.

Who would you want to hire to guide the US through the next 4-8 years? Someone WITH those hard earned lessons or someone without that experience?

To anyone who is anti-Trump on the basis of emotional reasons (too bold, or his hair or...) we can guess your answer.

Trump is a good thing for Democrats so I'm all for him. Also frankly he has a right to run and say what he wants. That's the whole point of our Democracy.

That is correct - CEOs can fire those who do not perform, and do not have the shackles of Congress and the SCOTUS.

The POTUS cannot operate with the freedom of a corporate CEO.

The US also cannot file bankruptcy regularly as Trump is accustomed to doing with his businesses.

Trump's bull****, bluster, and big mouth will eliminate any possibility of him getting elected for anything of importance.

So you watched a Citizens United hit piece - which even its supporters would surely admit is propaganda - and think that nobody could vote for Hillary after seeing it? That's like saying that nobody who saw Fahrenheit 9/11 could vote for Bush. Actually, very few people see something and say "well gosh, I guess my mind is made up for me, don't need to fact check any of this or nothing!"

Even the title on youtube says "the movie SHE banned from theaters," when in actuality, courts decided that under McCain-Feingold, it wasn't allowed to air on television. Nobody would put this in a theater and nobody was going to. It has absolutely horrible reviews. Do I like Hillary? No, because I'm a liberal, and she is no longer a liberal. But would I vote for her? Maybe. It's just a figurehead position anyway. Which party wins is all that matters, not who the party chooses to represent the lobbyists, bureaucrats and capitalists behind the curtain.

Appropriate response by Univision. The less relevance Trump is given, the better.

In the letter, Trump writes to Falco, "Please be advised that under no circumstances is any officer or representative of Univision allowed to use Trump National Doral, Miami—its golf courses or any of its facilities. Also, please immediately stop work and close the gate which is being constructed between our respective properties. If this is not done within one week, we will close it."

In a post-script, Trump added: "Please congratulate your Mexican Government officials for having made such outstanding trade deals with the United States. However, inform them that should I become President, those days are over. We are bringing jobs back to the U.S. Also, a meaningful border will be immediately created, not the laughingstock that currently exists."

There is an argument that says he is jockeying for a cabinet position if a republican wins in 16. Certainly his ego demands such a recognition.

I'd like to meet the kind of person who listens to Trump speak and says, 'Yep, that my candidate.'

You'd have to be such a monumental asshole to like him, much less want him as your president.
