Trump turns to the teleprompter

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.

I'll make it really simple for you, perhaps you'll catch on.

Being able to deliver a message (whatever it may be) without a teleprompter vs. unable to deliver a message without a teleprompter.

Simple. Factual. Accurate. If that in your mind is partisan, I guess it must be because of your partisan colored glasses you are viewing it with.

Add "Utah" to that list. It may or may not go to Clinton, but the fact that it's even up for discussion is pretty damn amazing.

SALT LAKE CITY — If Donald Trump becomes the Republican Party's nominee, Utahns would vote for a Democrat for president in November for the first time in more than 50 years, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll.

Isnt this issue a bit like Bernie Sanders talking **** about big $$$s in the political process, all the while he is accepting funding from big $$$ PACs because it is the way it is, level playing field, and all that stuff?

I think the reason why Obama gets such a bad rap for speaking without a teleprompter is obvious.

So alienating everybody and speaking with a third grade educational level without a teleprompter vs. stuttering without a teleprompter. Right. Congratulations to your candidate for his obviously superior oratory skills.

Trumpettes never fail to entertain.

Guess what? Obama isn't running. And he lives rent free in your head.
 
Come on, man. That was almost a year ago. He has probably changed his opinion on the subject a dozen times since then.

Did Trump quit tweeting?
 
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.

When you cannot admit you are backing a bigot, lie about his opponent.

Thats so sad...

You DO realize that the OP was FORMED around commentary over trump and Obama...OBAMA...using teleprompters...right? You get that 5 of the first 10 posters here cited Obama and liberal shills like Disney and Cardinal cited Obama and you then want to make it be about me? Talk about living rent free in your head.

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.

He wasn't going to take donations, either. :lol:


I think this is some of the most explicit proof of how rattled Trump and his campaign has become over the past two weeks. Pretty much ever since Hillary's foreign policy speech that was essentially a point-by-point attack on Trump, we have yet to hear a defense from Trump. In fact, the only counterpoint that I've seen Trump make was, ironically enough, his attack during Face the Nation when he accused her of just reading someone else's speech from, wait for it, a teleprompter.

Add to that the last 72 hours and I believe that there is an actual concern within some members of the Trump organization that he could lose the nomination unless he tones it down dramatically.

I would be curious to find out how much of what he said overlapped with the actual speech on the teleprompter because I know for a fact that the whole, "That's right, no PPP. And you mean no PP," was not scripted. Specifically, I'm curious whether the line about the inner cities being a disgrace and how we're going to take care of our African Americans was scripted.
Sure, but I think they also run the risk of losing momentum if he does tone it down, too. His supporters are low-information and short attention span voters.


ALL Presidential candidates use teleprompters. The criticism heaved against President Obama for using a teleprompter was hypocritical at worst and disingenuous at best.
Sure, but most of them didn't make such a big deal about being anti-teleprompter.


So will this mark an about-face from the Right for their continued harassment of Obama for using a teleprompter?
The more partisan hack the person the more they can rationalize anything.

Aw, someone pointed out your ODS.

Enjoy watching a hypocritic despot wanna-be reading a teleprompter. LOL

The OP is not liberal. Just ask her.

Are you actually trying to criticize Trump for using a teleprompter?
 
This is so easy it just seems unfair.

No. She's simply pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of right wing extremists such as yourself.
 
Anti-Trump people have been complaining for months that Trump just isn't 'presidential' enough.
Well, now Trump is doing the most presidential of things, he's using a teleprompter, like Obama has done for 7 years.

If you didn't criticize Obama for it, why bash Trump?
 
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.

I seem to remember Obama absolutely eviscerating a group of Republican congresscritters, sans telemprompter.

Obama speaks without a prompter all the time and does just fine. You speak in public every day for eight years and never make a mistake.
 
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.

You just accept every idiotic piece of conservative bull**** that crosses your path, dontcha?
 
This is so easy it just seems unfair.



So Trump is basically having a conversation with the audience, making them laugh, cracking jokes. OK.
And you're taking one of his cracks as a policy statement. Hmm.

When you start holding any liberal politicians those same high standards, let me know.
 
It is funny watching one of the stupider wingnut memes just blow up in their faces so spectacularly.
 
So Mr. Trump, how do you feel about using a teleprompter?



Proof is in the video, isn't it?

It sure is. Trump on the other hand has done such an amazing job without a teleprompter that he....ohhhhhh...right.

Awk..waaaaard.
