***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[biggie62]

He's loaned his own campaign money. He isn't that well off to be purely self funded. And the amount of funds he'll need for a general election, he's going to be "bought" just like everyone else.

What I'm curious is at what % interest. A lot of politicians are known to do this and charge like 10-20% interest. They make a killing during their campaigns, not to mention hiring all their family members and cronies to put on a phony payroll for BS jobs. This is across both parties.

This along with politicians being able to trade on insider information on rule changes that affect stocks and being able to trade on this information should be barred ASAP. But of course both parties won't even allow for either to get voted on.

 

[mister friendly]

Yeah some people don't realize how much a national campaign for President costs.

 

[RustyShackleford]

He already has said he expects the GOP "establishment" to raise money for him once he becomes the nominee.

Everything people supposedly like him for, there is evidence to contradict those points

Trump’s success is because he’s presenting himself as a big, comforting father who is here, at long last, to stop your white tears. Trump is winning because of white daddy issues and his ability to talk to you like you’re a sad, scared child who needs a strong, brave man.

He appeals to the anti-education faction of America — the ones that view articulation as elitism. I’m about to get nerdy here, but if you analyze his speech, he uses very simple verbs that are primarily derived from Anglo-Saxon origins, whereas politicians who view education as a benefit use verbs derived from Latinate. (Breakdown in case anyone needs a refresher: Engish comes from three home sources — French, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon. So that’s why we have multiple word with the same meaning. Abdomen — Latinate origin, most academic; Stomach — French origin, considered appropriate in both informal and formal contexts, we expect this word from adults to describe that location on their body; Belly — Anglo Saxon origin, easiest pronunciation and shortest spelling, most informal and childish, we expect it from and use it primarily with children; we do not expect adults to use this word when describing that part of their own body.)

So Trump makes very simplistic word choices, creates short sentences, and repeats them. He is literally catering to the lowest literacy levels of the nation. For instance, where another politician would say something eloquent like, “The loss of jobs to overseas manufacturing has manifested tremendous economic suffering in the United States,” Trump will say, “We sent our jobs away and that’s bad. It’s bad. I’m telling you now, it’s bad. It’s bad and we’re going to fix it.” And people lose their minds with glee. Because he talks to them like children. Literally, the way you console an upset toddler by getting down on eye level, acknowledging their feelings, redirecting them to something comforting, and then repeating it in the simplest language you can until they say, “YEAH!” But the toddler then runs enthusiastically to the backyard to play, while Trump supporters beat protesters, spew racism, and worse, elect a president.

So basically, Trump is like a big racist father who says whatever you want to hear to reaffirm your own prejudices and convince you that he’s the protective daddy who will sweep in and rescue you from the bad, bad government and the bad immigrants and the bad whatever — he talks to you like you’re five and you’ve had a bad dream or the thunderstorm is loud. He coddles you with all the affirmations and promises you want to hear. Trump is basically presenting himself as the fill-in father you’ve been waiting on, who is finally here to sop up all your white tears.

Saw this on another site...thought the part about Trump's language was very interesting

Trump wants megyn Kelly to call him daddy.

If he hasn't already said it yet it'll happen eventually

I can totally see Trump taking money and then doing the exact opposite of what whoever funded him wants.

Miss me with that mess. You talk all this nonsense about the free market, yet you're the 1st one to take advantage of government subsidies such as rent control. Still unable to come to terms with liberal that you really are.

Da funniest thing about your assessment is

You still think liberals still care anymore

about da Working class.

Government subsidized rent control?

Lol...more like a grandfathered cellphone

plan that was won by surviving my

neighborhood That aint around no more,

contrary to popular Belief, my arrangements

cuts across da entire Class spectrum, from da

very rich paying Pennies for a Loft in SoHo

who, to a middle class family Who held over

in da upper westside to score, to a shrewd

Dominican who's arrangement is cushy to say

da least. Da bottom line is Democrat &

Republican elites policies are IDENTICAL...

Free trading, outsourcing, big government

Spending cronies that sold out da American

Worker a long time ago.

Say what you want, you're only lying to yourself. There's no defending of a socialist program like rent control at any level. Especially considering that your family has benefited from it for over 30+ years.. Talk about entitlement issues. I think it's time for you to indulge in the free market that you so much like to preach about. But of course you won't. You love riding the gravy train.

What happens when Donald Trump runs out of campaign cash? We're about to find out
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-e...2016-campaign-finance-20160321-htmlstory.html

the best comment from the article:

"When Donald Drumpf runs out of cash he's going to spend twice as much as any other presidential campaign and he's going to make the Democrats pay for it."

Program most certainly does exist, through HPD. Big tax incentives for developers to participate and allocate a portion of their developments for inclusionary housing. Hypocrisy narrtive still valid until you prove otherwise.

Like i said, ur talking out ur pie

Program, you can be a millionaire with a

Rent control spot, while da scheme your

alluding To has to do with mandatory

regulations for Developers with income caps

and floors applicants must adhere to.
