Trump turns to the teleprompter

That was in August. Trump supporters live in the moment. Anything older than two minutes ago for them is basically like hearing your great grandfather talk about his days in the trenches in WWI.

Fixed your post.
 
He must have updated it in the past couple days because I visited it a couple days ago looking for his position on education and it didn't have anything on education. Now it has a 51 second Youtube video on the subject. In fact, all the issues on his issues page are covered by very brief Youtube videos. No actual plans laid out. And best of all, no reading needed!

Not surprising. But I was referring to the "on the issues" site, which is a helpful cheat sheet for finding out where a politician stands.

Donald Trump on the Issues

I really get the feeling that whoever was updating that page sort of gave up.
 
Trump, like Hillary, has the party nomination locked up and now must concentrate on gaining wider support from those outside the party (their base?). Blurting out random thoughts is unlikely to accomplish that goal. Trump desperately needs assistance in remaining on message (script?) or Hillary (and her MSM supporters) will have endless sound bites to portray him as an unfocused nut job.

He is totally unfocused. I wonder if he can change that. The next 5 months will tell.
 
Well, that's smart in his case I think....He's going to have to focus from here on out.

Agreed.

If this is indeed Trump 2.0, a less bombasting, less uncontrolled, more measured, more focused Trump, it could only be a good thing.

I guess we'll have to see.

Of course, now that Trump is using a teleprompter it is a good thing. When Obama used it you mocked him for it. That's about the level of consistency I'd expect of you.
 
I'm on a fast and have specifically not been drinking for the past two weeks, and up until now I had no idea how painful this campaign was. I want to go camping up in Big Sur where there's no satellite signal.

4 or 5 years ago we spent 4 days at a place called the Timber Cove Inn on the Pacific Coast Highway in an area with absolutely no cell phone service. 4 days of blessed silence.


I much prefer that people speak extemporaneously, the way orators of old used to, rather than read a speech word-for-word, or even worse read slides in a powerpoint presentation. Most politicians either can't for won't do that. Trump at least seemed to try by to me at least his speeches mostly came off as pointless ramblings.
 
So will this mark an about-face from the Right for their continued harassment of Obama for using a teleprompter?

did Obama really need a teleprompter when addressing Ms. Foley's 4th grade class?

Hardly. What a false equivalency oh so typical of liberals.

Obama is incapable of addressing anyone without a teleprompter crutch. He recently he turned into a stuttering bumbling mess when he didn't use one.
Obama is dependent on the teleprompter, and hence the much deserved mocking he got.

Trump is perfectly capable of delivering a speech without a teleprompter, but uses one on occasion. Trump is not dependent on the teleprompter.

That's very different, I'm sure you'll have to admit.

Bwahahaha. Pigs will fly first...
 
But, but, but... that would make him a hypocrite!


Trump: "If You're Running For President You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Use A Teleprompter"


I'm so shocked!!!

The trumpanzies are all hypocrites. But they are still in their cult glow of ignorance, some will escape and rejoin reality, the real mouth breathers won't.

After watching Bob Lord get completely logic-stomped by Van Jones, it is getting clear that the trumpkins are running out of ways to excuse their racist cult leader.

I don't care. Now that Trump has changed his mind about the teleprompter will you admit you've been irrationally hard on Obama for his use of the teleprompter?

Trump has been incapable of delivering a speech without getting into hot water or sounding like a belligerent retard. So now that he's sounding more controlled because of his use of the teleprompter, will you walk back your mockery of Obama for using one?

Precisely. But getting a Trumpette to admit that is as likely as me waking up next to Sean Connery tomorrow morning.

I can get you Lee Majors or Dick Gautier for $500, plus transportation costs.
 
Here's what that great orator Obama sounds like off Teleprompter....

 
I missed all the threads from the Trump supporters howling about how Trump channeled his inner Barack Obama and used a teleprompter.

I thought Trump just spoke from the heart and wasn't a phony who needs a teleprompter to feed him his thoughts, like that evil Obama?

After days of characteristic defiance amid charges that his comments accusing a Mexican-American judge of bias were racist, Trump's speech Tuesday night marked an about-face as a more restrained, yet out-of-character Trump appeared.

Donald Trump turned to the two teleprompters to his left and right on Tuesday night and took a victory lap, as Republicans cast their final votes of the primary season.

Nice Propaganda try,,,,The difference is Obama and Hillary cant put 2 words together without a teleprompter. Trump just uses it when he has a specific statement or policy speech.

Too late for that.
 
HAHAHA OMFG I forgot about that.

That Trump....he's so silly. Let's just ignore his complete about face and focus on how awesome he is. He wants to do stuff and things!

He made using a teleprompter great again.

You are expecting a rational answer? :lamo

Nope. Because the 2 very are different.
Trump can be coherent without a teleprompter (although you may not like what he says).
Obama has proven himself unable to speak coherently without one.
That's a big difference.

Trump can coherently alienate an entire ethnic demographic, an entire race, an entire religion and the entire political organization he needs to get him elected, all without a teleprompter. Which is why he's now using a teleprompter. If that's a "win" in your book, then congratulations I guess.

No, since anybody who would criticize Obama for using a teleprompter was always an irrational partisan hack to begin with.
