Trump says he would like to 'hit' DNC speakers who disparaged him

I wouldn't call that a win myself, even if it does result in victory, but it is certainly a way to get more votes than some other candidates.

I don't think he's necessarily a bad candidate, I do think that there is a lot of hate directed at him because he's more "off the cuff" and "plain spoken."
That kind of speech allows for more forgiveness, I hear stuff like that at work all the time.

Actually....Hillary. She's seen it all before. Not that I'm endorsing her, I cannot abide her platform.
Hell, even Gary Johnson is more prepared for POTUS than Trump.

Hillary is a walking disaster as being prepared. She has a history of no record to really run on.

Not really, he's the type that can wreck something and walk away, but the US government/nation isn't a business one can do that too. Can't have the attitude that "oh well, if I fudge up, screw it, I'll be OK".

Trump, under no circumstance, is Presidential material.

Clintons only business they ever had went down in flames for unethical business dealings that cause bill to be disbarred.
the highest dishonor a lawyer can suffer. The only reason she wasn't disbarred was because they couldn't find enough evidence.

Their so called charity is under investigation as we speak as being a slush fund for the Clintons and not an actual charity.

It is already proven that they lied on their financial disclosure forms.
which is a federal crime by the way yet another federal crime that the Clintons have broke.

To be fair, he's a wild card that nobody thought would do anything, like last time. But due to the utter incompetence and failures of the President and Congress in the last eight years, he became an attractive option. Then, you throw in Hillary as your other option, and this is what you get. Could possibly the two worst candidates ever in a general election.

Two worst candidates? In some ways, no, because Hillary is far more qualified in her candidacy. It is the worst choice in a general election when the best qualified candidate should be disqualified.

Trump is a pretty poor choice of candidate.

Whereas, I am in agreement with you, I will stop short of suggesting that the failures of the republican party and their flawed candidate is actually a democrat virus planted to sabotage their party and this election.

Occams' Razor tends to militate against conspiracy theories.

What I find interesting, however, is the question: If Trump was running to try to hand the election to Hillary and wreck the GOP for a generation..... what would he have done differently?

However, that being said, I was one of the first here at DP to suggest that possibility in the campaign's earlier days. But too much time has past, the GOP was duly warned, and they choose to ignore the warnings. Now, they have to own it. This is all on the GOP.

This is on a plurality of the GOP and the leadership who forced the rest into compliance, and/or punished the heretics. But broadly, yes.

OK...but it's a true statement. Serendipity is not tactics. I don't think this style that Trump uses is going to serve him long term. He's not battling 14 other people anymore, he's going up against a Clinton in the game of politics. His little mickey mouse games of running his mouth and pretending to be big like a pufferfish fending off predators isn't going to cut it against a Clinton.

He's full of hot air, and she can pop that balloon. when this election hits its stride, we will certainly see the numbers changing.

What in the hell is the matter with this man? Does he think he's funny, or clever, or something? Is this how he plans to respond when Kim Jong-un says something negative about him? "I'm going to beat you up!"

This man was supposed to be speaking to people at a rally, telling them exactly how he's going to "make America great again" and how they are going to save for college and create new jobs in their towns and keep their children safe, and all he can ****ing do is talk about himself and act like an unprofessional, pathetic, childish, whiny moron.

"I was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," Trump said to laughs at a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa. "I was going to hit this guy so hard his head would spin, he wouldn't know what the hell happened."

Trump said this individual "came out of nowhere" and had done work with Trump in the past. "He made deals with me. 'Will you help me with this? Would you make this deal and solve the problem?' I solved the problem," Trump said.

A "very little guy". Stop with the childish insults and call him out by name, like a man does. His name is Michael Bloomberg. Such stupid, petty, ignorant crap, and exactly what I have come to expect from this Democrat masquerading as a Republican.

In my worst nightmare I never would have imagined such an incompetent, ill-mannered, narcissistic clown would be representing the party that once nominated a man who was so optimistic and dignified, he made us proud to be Americans.

Congratulations, Trump voters and supporters. You have handed over the Presidency to the most flawed person to ever be nominated by the Democratic party. And it's probably precisely what Donald Trump wanted to happen in the first place.

No, he's a bully and doesn't have the balls to actually fight. When he says "hit" he means he'll have his hired hands go after someone. He thrives on the adoration he gets from suckers.
 
Harry Guerrilla said:
I'm not sure I necessarily agree.
Not because he's a good candidate, but because we really don't know what he'll do.
When that's the case, everyone assumes he's poor.

He's a bad candidate because anyone who doesn't support him out of ambivalence knows how dangerous his rhetoric is.

I think you're wrong, I don't believe it is luck but entirely deliberate.
Clinton, in my opinion, is going to lose.

A great many things. You could really apply the same lazy rhetoric to Hillary Clinton.

There isn't a fine line between being "plain spoken" and mocking prisoners of war, flopping on issues constantly, throwing temper tantrums constantly, hurling insults that sucked when I was in third grade, insulting the judge presiding over a case on your university, alienating millions and millions of people, calling entire states stupid, and a couple other things I'm forgetting about - in fact, there's a goddamn ocean between those. Trump is absolutely and necessarily a bad candidate, and the fact that he can actually meet Hillary's unfavorables is astounding. He is hated by almost six in ten Americans, Harry. How the **** is he anything other than a bad candidate?

Saying stupid ****, that will be forgotten and doing stupid ****, are entirely two different things.
Hillary does ****ed up **** and Trump, at least historically, says ****ed up ****.

And yet they are equally hated at this time, and have been for the majority of the election cycle. The numbers say that voters disagree with you on that.
 
In the 2016 POTUS contest between the party of big federal government and the party of huge federal government there are now two lousy candidates both with high negatives for good reason. One of these losers will get the job of leading this nation further toward expansion of federal government power and cost.

The winner takes all assignment of electoral college points (in 48 sates) assures us that a third party candidate will not (ever?) have a chance. We have devolved into accepting a two party (rigged?) system that produces "leaders" by appealning to less that 16 million voters out of just over 36 million total promary votes cast.


Hghlighted below are the major party primary votes that (ulimately) mattered:

Overall vote
Republicans 20,375,925
Democrats 15,070,178

By candidate
Clinton 8,668,136
Trump 7,548,429
Sanders 6,131,951
Cruz 5,484,494
Rubio 3,394,134
Kasich 2,725,327
Carson 677,307
Bush 249,894
O'Malley 94,692

He panders to the low educated white male who says that kind of thing all the time. Remember that guy from the Honeymooners? What was that line Jackie Gleason used, with balled fist and angry scowl, that he somehow managed to make sound funny? "To the Moon, June. Too the moon."

Too bad so many of them can't stand Trump, we could have crushed her in a landslide.

I understand.
I'm taking it from a position of personal history.
Hillary, for the last, 20-30 years has been mired in scandal after scandal, because she does bad things.
Trump, has largely not been in this boat.

So while Trump says stupid, often hyperbolic stuff, I don't believe for one second that he's that unhinged.
His life history just doesn't support it.

Captain Adverse said:
Trump is not a politician.

That is his appeal to the common voter, he speaks to them like they speak to each other.

That is not a weakness, it is his major strength.

When will you naysayers get that into your heads?
Click to expand...

Yup ... But that's how his success is being analyzed and explains the unsolicited advice he's getting - as though he's a traditional candidate running a traditional campaign.
But still I suspect some of what he says must be jarring even to his supporters, whether they admit it or not - or at least make 'em wish he hadn't said it because it's so easy for the opposition to exploit.
And lord knows they're always on the lookout. They're very good at that and they have an extensive network to help.

I mentioned a while back that it's like sitting around the dinner table as a kid listening to an opinionated parent.

Well, his current rush to catch up to Hillary doesn't seem to be a winning strategy. I don't think he's unhinged either, I just think his normal marketing strategy is strangling his presidential bid. And that he's a terrible candidate overall.
