Wasn't necessarily a die hard fan, but I was really trying to keep an open mind this election. I went to both Bernie and Hillary rallies, and was really excited to see Trump too.
The final straw was most definitely the rally. I'm not sure what I expected, but Trump's rally was so...disturbing. His words inspired hate. The people around me were openly hostile and saying vicious things against minorities, women, and Hillary Clinton. And Trump seemed to revel in it. Someone who is so gleeful in hatred is not someone I want as a leader.

Knew a guy who went to a Trump rally just because he thought it would be funny. He came back from the rally kind of shell-shocked because it wasn't funny. It was scary depressing.
EDIT: A few people are interpreting "scary" as meaning he was frightened for his safety. I meant only that he was very shaken to realize how serious the supporters were. This wasn't a joke. They honestly want people to be rounded up and deported based on religion. They really do want to spend billions of dollars to build a wall. They really do want their opponents locked up without a trial. Et cetera. Et cetera. It's very disorienting to go from thinking Donald is just a protest candidate who's going to shake up the status quo and that it's kind of going to be a joke to realizing that people believe the **** he spews.

Interesting reading some people's replies to this topic.
 
Ok this is getting even more ridiculous. Obviously pandering now, at best flip-flopping. Next he's gonna say he was being "sarcastic but not that sarcastic but pretty sarcastic"

This is exactly like that new Yorker satire article someone posted the other day where trump said it's unfair that the media records everything he says and plays it back for everyone to hear. Someone even said it's only a matter of time before he actually says that. And here we are
 
For all his supposed business acumen, it seems trump is finding the general election campaigning to be something he doesn't seem to be able to grasp. In addition to the insert foot in mouth problem, Hilary has spent a whopping $42.9mill since the end of the primaries & trump has spent nada.

He's getting buried in the swing states by Hilary ads & it seems to be paying off. New swing state poll numbers show Hilary is leading in 4 crucial swing states; Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, & Virginia.

He also doesn't seem to be aware that no one has won the election without winning Ohio yet he doesn't have an office set up in Hamilton Co, a crucial county to the republicans in Ohio.

In other swings states, Hilary's staff greatly outweighs trump staff by at least 4-1 if not more.

:lol
 
Trump had a barebonss campaign during the primary and spent A LOT less than his opponents. So what are you saying?


Still treating like a regular campaign. The rules do not apply.

ever the optimist. you should be a motivational speaker. as much as i disagree with you and think you are misguided, i have to respect your conviction.

trump could pull it off with minimal spending. he has rewritten the rulebook, perhaps unwittingly, on how to get publicity without spending. that said, it's hard to argue that he isn't performing dismally at this current moment.

edit: kind of fun reading through Hillary's tax return. i can't imagine how carefully the lawyers went through it when they submitted to make sure it was airtight. I'm sure Donald will soon do us the same courtesy with his returns. looking forward to reading every page.

So trump not "treating this like a regular election" by not spending money has him losing in the swing states is some new tactic? :lol

Him not having a presence in Ohio which is essential for anyone to win the presidency is some new ground breaking way of campaigning? :rollin

I swear I think those two were Russian propaganda ministers in a past life that were executed & doomed to come back writing/posting for the other side of the political spectrum. :lol

These two are trying to paint this idiot like he's a lion waiting in the tall grass or something... :rollin

I would rep you both for making me chuckle on a Saturday morning but nah... :p :lol

I'm tired of Da libbies talking about da skewed polls. Da Don already said his internal polls shows he's in da lead. Da proof is in da pudding B.
 
:lol

The idiot needs to concentrate in the upper Midwest/Rust Belt region. He also needs to concentrate on Ohio, Pennsylvania, & Michigan but he's in Connecticut instead.

New polling suggests that Hilary has garnered 236 electorate votes to trump's 191 leaving 111 votes up for grabs mostly in the battleground states.

They keep breathing life into it by being shady.

And since we talking about transcripts,we still haven't gotten those speeches. We all know Wall Street was paying her all that bread to talk down to them and disparage them. The scandal stinks to high heaven. But hey, at least we got those tax returns though.
 
Clinton releases her speech and Trump releases his tax returnsAND internal documents about how he handled rent control in the 80s. Fair deal to me.
 
Horse isn't dead yet I guess
At this point I think it's purposely being brought back up so those idiots never talk about anything else.

Most of the coy try are tired of this e-mail hack cover up ****.

If Trillary is such a corrupt criminal as they claim she must be a queenpin master criminal type. All this time and the best hackers and the FBI can come up with is this?

Exactly why I don't find anything he says funny. It is just extremely dangerous to our way of living to underestimate the ******

From that link:

He's already advocated spreading nuclear weapons to more countries, murdering civilians and committing war crimes, punishing any woman who gets an abortion, toss out the Geneva convention and torture people, withdraw from NATO, and ban an entire religion from the country, and create a database of muslims.
He said he would deport US citizens and thinks global warming is a hoax created by the chinese, thinks the US should default on its debt, defends the interment of Japanese Americans in WW2.

He thinks Obama is a muslim and accused him of not being american and accused him of being an ISIS sympathizer, insulted war heros because they got captured, racially insulted a sitting Senator. He bragged about his **** size in a GOP debate and has suggested he might quit if he's actually elected.

He consistently thinks women are only valuable for how they look, with at least a dozen high-profile misogynistic comments.

He's called nuking the middle east a plausible option. He has a suspicious number of ties to Putin, and has a history of business deals with organized crime. He's called mexicans rapists and criminals, been successfully sued multiple times for racist rental practices, and said he wants no blacks only jews counting his money.
He semi-threatened the pope, mocked disabled people in front of a crowd of thousands, outright threatened violence towards the media and protesters, made sexual comments about his daughters MULTIPLE TIMES, praised Kim Jong Un and Putin and Saddam Hussein, praised the Tianenmen Square massacre.

He's flirted with white supremacy - retweeting them, reposting their images with anti-semitic symbols, playing coy about David Duke's endorsement. He's a verified lunatic conspiracy theorist - he thinks the Clintons murdered one of their aides, Obama is a sleeper agent and Ted Cruz's dad helped kill JFK.

He could get caught diddling kids and funding ISIS himself and his supporters would eat it up. Either way, Ladies and Gentlemen, your Republican party nominee.
