British Expats - 2016 Election

The reaction by Trump to this whole 'Miss Universe' topic is rather revealing, isn't it! He simply cannot let it go, and is ignoring every word of advice from his own team. If he can get this wound up about such a trivial issue, imagine how he would react to North Korea, or Edward Snowdon, or something more serious. Shocking.

Shocking is right. And terrifying. His staff has been told that they are forbidden from criticizing his debate performance which is why they've started leaking to the press. He's floated a rumor that Ms. Machado has a sex tape. First of all, I thought everybody had a sex tape these days? Secondly, she's not running for president. This is a 70 year old man tweeting this sleaze in the middle of the night. A 70 year old man whose wife has nude photos all over the internet.

Also, let's not forget, his Vice President believes in conversion therapy to cure the "gay" out of teenagers.

There was always, and there still is now, a very good chance that the Republican nominee would win this election. That was why the primary was so important. Trump's entire campaign has been been like watching the slow motion sinking of the Titanic.

Then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing.

He's posting pro-Hillary links now? :confused:

There was nothing wrong with what she said, at all. Bernie's interview shows that he supports her comments and agrees with her.

Oh come on...taking this out of context is, in effect, NOT QUOTING...it's entirely misleading - and you know that, else you would not have done it so stop playing your silly games!

Re: 2016 Election

I can accept that Bernie thinks Trump is the worse choice, his comments in the round about her should be considered.

With HTC it it is pay to play, so not a lot options for Bernie supporters.

Bernie would have been better advised to retain his credibility and not get in the gutter with HRC.

This is literally keeping me up at night, and giving me an uneasy feeling that won't pass until early November. The fact that this possibility even remotely exists is a strange thing indeed.

There was a time when Palin as VP seemed scary ... Oh, the good old days!

yeah...McCain Days...thinking back, it seems almost quaint now

Which leads me to wonder...did we dodge a bullet, should we count ourselves lucky?

Palin might very well have been Trump's VP pick :eek: :eek: :eek:

:sarcasm: Aren't we lucky?

Whatever is actually in Trumpâ€™s tax returns is worse than what the New York Times says - Vox

Interesting analysis. Nytimes didn't actually say he didn't pay tax just he could've been allowed to . The Trump campaign issues lame non-denial without refuting the facts. They could have released his taxes and it would all have gone away. Unless his tax returns contain something even worse!

Let's just stop for a moment and consider this: that the Republican nominee for president told his followers to go watch porn.

As it turns out, the sex tape doesn't exist. And there are more graphic nudes of Trump's wife and daughter available than the person he is disparaging. And the only reason he is disparaging her is because Hillary pointed out how mean he was to her in the past.

The nominee of the party that claims Christian family values, the nominee with several children by several wives, who has cheated on his wives multiple times. The nominee of the party that claims fiscal conservativism, who spends money like water, has gone bankrupt several times, has literally thousands of lawsuits against him for non-payment of services, and won't even reveal his current financial state. It's just plain weird.

I recently discovered a subsection of Reddit.com called r/The_Donald and I can't tell which people on there are real Trump supporters and which are just spoofs. The whole thing is weird to read.
