Donald Trump To Run For President in 2016!!!!!!!!

[DwightShrute]

See people.

who are you talking to?

[dante1]

who are you talking to?

answer the questions dwightie, this is the lad that talks about being dishonest.

[DwightShrute]

this is the lad that talks about being dishonest.

who are you talking to?

[dante1]

I think the argument about intellect and honesty have been answered definitively today.

Guess who I am talking to Dwightie. lol

Proceed.

[brooks85]

Really, so the Civil war was not the most horrific event in the US. If you were asked that question you would come up with some other BS.
Really, so the conservatives of the past did not oppose civil rights for just about everybody.
Really, so the productivity of Americans is not high and getting higher almost every year.

Sorry mr brooks all of those above are facts, all of those above are logic that tells the average no nothing, somebody like you, that the conservatives have been on the wrong side of history since day one. If you have a brain you know that. Just denying like you do with no proof, no real logic is easy.

The bottom line is you are a very low thinker, you have no idea about American political science. It has nothing to do with left bias it is true. If it isn't true why don't you prove it, set your argument about just the three facts I just presented. Why don't we make it easy, I tell you what mr brooks I will place you on the spot. Prove to the listeners that the Civil war not the most horrific event in the country. Prove to the readers that the Civil war not instigated and started by the conservatives of the day. lol.

You are an idiot mr brooks and you know you are way out of your league.

I don't need to prove anything, you just did it for me by trying to connect the Civil War to whatever nonsensical point you think you're making. You look like a complete moron and that is saying something considering your previous posts. That is why people like you are very poor at debates, you crumble easily because the amount of logical fallacies pouring out of your mouth( keyboard in this case.)

Would be hilarious if you actually earned a degree in political science, that would just be too pitiful lol. So many degrees you could waste your time and money on and still at least walk away with some kind of skill. But, considering you don't come off as having even entered college, if you really did I'd put good money on political science being your degree.

[sshz]

When are you going to learn you can't argue with a person under liberal mind-control????? It goes in one ear and by-passes the brain altogether.

[rkelly110]

The same can be said of conservative brick for brains except, what goes in, bounces around and what comes out is completely different. In other words, spin job.

coming from the sheep who supported the Iran deal... been a year since I challenged you to do one day without looking like a moron... I guess you just don't care how you are perceived. I have no doubt you wouldn't be saying all your illogical "my truths" in public, not a chance.

So no answer.

And yes mr brooks the Civil war was a huge turning point of progressive/conservative argument, but of course you do not know this. Just as I expected and just as I predicted no real answer to my questions and that is because your knowledge of American history and American politics is less than I even thought. I presented three arguments for you and the above is what took you almost a half a day to prepare. Amazing,.

No mr brooks you are wrong again, I have had courses in political science but that is not even one of my degrees, obviously you have no credits in political science and no credits in American history. Actually the way you present arguments I believe you have no credits from a university at all, I believe you have some crap diploma from some crappy Louisiana or Mississippi school teaching you how to fix a flat tire. Good skills brooks. Better than Dwightie however, he doesn't even own a GED.

Excuse a hackneyed phrase but the "bottom line" here is you and your asshole buddy are unable to answer with any type of intelligence the three questions I postulated. Not even an attempt. Did you notice the gasp of surprise from our readers about your feeble response, correct not there, no one really surprised.

So as an elementary teacher might say, do you need me to repeat the questions?

[rkelly110]

coming from the sheep who supported the Iran deal... been a year since I challenged you to do one day without looking like a moron... I guess you just don't care how you are perceived. I have no doubt you wouldn't be saying all your illogical "my truths" in public, not a chance.

Speaking of brick for brains.....

No I don't care how I'm perceived. My main goal here is for people to look at other perspectives, to open their
minds to other possibilities. You know, to use that thing on your shoulders, to drill a hole in that brick called grey
matter.

Yes I do say my truths in public and get the same reaction that you give, but their mind is opened and usually
see what I see after an explanation. Most people's brains are ran on fear, remove that and things come into
perspective.

then you are talking to a bunch of very unintelligent people. I know you think you actually have something intellectual to offer a discussion but as I proven, you do not. As we can see here this is your ego again trying to justify that FACT you spew BS "my truths." If these people are "enlightened" by your proven BS then they are very stupid also.


And if your goal here is open people's minds then no one could disagree that you are failing miserably. Mainly contributed to the FACT you don't use FACTS, MATH or LOGIC. You can not disagree here without looking like a petulant child, your post history doesn't lie rkelly...

[DwightShrute]

Did you notice the gasp of surprise from our readers about your feeble response, correct not there, no one really surprised.

who are you talking to?

[dante1]

who are you talking to?

Well Dwightie, actually I am talking to no one in more ways than one. First of all I am writing/composing not talking. But words mean nothing to you, you and your buddy are so careless with your use of words therefore your propensity for outrageous comments and stupid comments like the one above. You didn't even think for a second that no one is talking here, we are all composing. Just another example of your inability to articulate anything at all, even something you think of as being cute or a reply to mask your lack of intelligence.

Second, intellectually I am speaking/composing to no one because a response or a question to you/brooks is very much like speaking to no one. My god dwightie you even fck up a short five word response. You my lad are so grossly inept. Now I suggest you might want to consider this phrase...who are you composing to. At least it will be correct, it still won't make sense, it won't answer any of my questions but it will be a couple degrees more correct. Five words!

Third, it is an improvement from some of your comments like calling me a c..t, remember that? I get you tongue tied don't I my silly friend? Proceed.

[dante1]

Ask again please I have another answer for you Dwightie. Pretty please.

[DwightShrute]

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH .

[15805]

Well Dwightie and Brooks. My premise is the Civil war was the most horrific event that ever happened in the US. Dwightie your reply was "enough logic" with a laughing cartoon. Brooks your reply was leftist bs. So I am waiting for your intellectual reply why I am wrong?

Then I am waiting for your reply that that war was instigated and started by the conservatives of the mid 19th century. This is just one fact I explained and you can now prove it wrong.

You see when placed on the spot you two idiots are speechless. I AM WAITING

I realize you must feel that you have just made a devastating point, probably already figuratively
turning around to accept high-fives from those of like mind. Guess what there are non coming.
Where, by the way, did you obtain your odd definition of conservatism from, I can only guess
it came from some unaccredited online college situated nowhere!

Conservatism: Belief in the value of established and traditional practices in politics and society of the times.
If anyone in the era of the 'War of Northern Aggression' towed those bedrock conservative beliefs it was
Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had a rebellion on his hands and almost immediately called for 75,000 troops in order
to 'SUPPRESS THE REBELLION' appealing “to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union.” That was the singular reason for his actions.
The notion that he initially decided to quell the rebellion to eliminate slavery is liberal revisionist history.
He was no 'Abolitionist' on September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear. “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,” he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites. On the eve of his election his public position was to allow the southern states that had slavery to retain it, but not allowing any new states to have slavery,

So as to Lincoln's reactions to the rebellion he can definitely be labelled as a 'reactionary' a word generally linked
to 'conservatism' while it was the southern stance which was 'radical' that of drastic reforms a word almost always
linked to 'liberal'

So finally, a rudimentary application of common sense so lacking in your challenge to those two that support
Trump is really mystifying.

As to your North good, South bad 'Proclamation' I recently read a book about the Army of Northern Virginia
as it proceeded northward in 1863 and was describe as 'Anglo-Saxon & Protestant & all spoke only English.
They shared common customs & a common faith & they had been consistantly victorious against superior numbers.
They had as solid a faith in their leader as any veteran army that ever marched' seems like the type of army
many would like to march with if they could.
The description of the army they opposed ' A strange new type of army, a polygot mass of vastly dissimilar
men fighting for union. Strange accents and strange religions & many who do not speak English at all.
Nothing like this army had ever been seen upon the planet before. It is a collection of men from many different
places who have seen mush defeat and many commanders.

[dante1]

I don't care who they support my friend, I support him also.

I don't think north south good or bad.

I don't question the values of the army of Northern Virginia, but I certainly do question the values of their politicians. And yes the army consisted of farmers and immigrants on both sides so what is your point. My point sir is yes, it was a political issue, yes the politics of the south at that time represented the conservatives of the time. That is factual.

Something else that is factual is that all or mostly all finished and settled issues in the US were settled on the side of the progressives.

Sorry I simply don't have the time to answer in depth but I think you get the point.

Interesting ideas but basically incorrect, however I would like the name of the book and the author. Maybe I will get it on my kindle.


Calling Lincoln a conservative or a reactionary is quite a stretch my friend, he was looking for change and it is true he often made comments that sounded like slavery was not important. However, his later actions he completely reversed himself. It is also true that his main purpose was to save the union but he did also eliminate slavery. You do know that most almost all of the recent conclusions about our civil war now claim that slavery was the much larger reason for the war?

And you do know that his R party became mostly the party of the progressives, he was hated by the true conservatives mostly in the south and killed by someone you can in reality call a reactionary. Need the author of your book it might be that he is the true revisionist.

[DwightShrute]

see dante, you can behave like an adult when you want to. You just prefer being a cunnt which is far worse than someone who can't help being a cuunt.

Probably your observation is correct I'd estimate 3/4 of the time but
there are some instances where such a bombastic
statement would not stand up under the harsh lights of close scrutiny.
I maintain Lincoln's handled the rebellion from
a doctrinaire conservative standpoint!

Well listen 15805 I almost never use the word always. However, I cannot think of one settled issue settled with the conservatives, however maybe I am missing one that is why I saw mostly. I gently challenge you to give me two settled issues that landed with the conservatives since oh since the mid 19th century.

And please give me the name of that book.

Again I am caught up with my brother, but I will speak with you shortly. At last someone able to discuss the issues, check out dwightie and brooks replies if you want to laugh

I went to college in the south coming from New Jersey majored in government but as electives took 6 credits of
Civil War History. We took field trips to the battlefields of Fredericksburg & Petersburg after one of the field trips
one of the students asked the professor 'Mr. Johnson why is it that we won almost every battle but lost the war.'
Because of those courses my interest in the 'War of Northern Aggression' as they called it at college flourished
& I've read many books on the war since. The book in question 'The Killer Angels' was written by Michael Shaara
it was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1975. Later, used as the basis for the film Gettysburg.

I doubt the book had a revisionist stance to me it seemed mostly historically accurate .
I consider revisionist abuse when Obama came out with the bizarre
statement that
thanking Muslim Americans for their many “achievements and contributions… to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.”


When in actuality the first Mosque was built in the US in 1915!

According to a new ABC/Wash Post poll, Trump's tops the Republican primary field leading his nearest competitor by 10%. Here are some of the contents of the poll:
- 32% Trump.
- 22% Carson.
- 10% Rubio.
- 7% Bush.
- 6% Cruz.
- 5% Fiorina, and the rest got 3% or below.

Donald Trump Leads in Expectations, Shows Strength on Attributes (POLL)




Donald Trump leads the Republican presidential field in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, not only in vote preferences but in expectations as well -– a remarkable feat for the non-politician who’s surprised the GOP establishment with his staying power as well as his support.

Trump has leveled off with backing from 32 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote, easily enough to retain his frontrunner status. Fellow outsider Ben Carson follows with 22 percent, also flat this month after sharp summertime gains.

Notably, even more leaned Republicans -- 42 percent -- say they expect Trump to win the GOP nomination for president. And given a list of six potential nominees, 43 percent pick Trump as having the best chance to win the general election just more than a year from now.

See PDF with full results here.

Trump also fares well on many key attributes. Nearly half of leaned Republicans -- 47 percent -- view him as the strongest leader; 39 percent think he'd be best able to handle immigration; 32 percent feel he is closest to them on the issues; and 29 percent say he “best understands the problems of people like you.” In each case he leads the other top-five contenders for the nomination, Carson, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.

Trump has weaknesses nonetheless. More view Carson as the most honest and trustworthy (33 percent vs. 21 percent for Trump), and Trump trails Bush in having the best experience (31 vs. 23 percent). While 19 percent say Trump has the best personality and temperament to serve effectively as president, that compares with a similar 24 percent for Carson.

Trump and Bush are particularly weak in another measure in this poll, produced for ABC byLanger Research Associates. Roughly equal numbers of leaned Republicans say the more they hear about Trump the less they like him, compared with liking him more, 45 vs. 47 percent. Albeit not a statistically significant result, Bush goes numerically underwater in this gauge, 47-41 percent.

Compare that to Carson: Sixty-four percent say as they hear more about him they like him more, vs. just 18 percent who like him less, a vast 46-point net positive. Scores for Rubio, Fiorina and Cruz also are net positive
on this measure by 23, 17 and 8 points, respectively.

Horserace

For all the campaigning under way, the overall race for the GOP nomination looks to be on pause, with essentially no change in candidate support since last month. That reflects a loss of momentum for Trump and Carson alike. Still, among their opponents only Rubio cracks the double digits, and just barely, with 10 percent.

In addition to his appeal to anti-immigration Republicans, Trump’s candidacy is very much bolstered by desire in the party for a political outsider. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents by 57-39 percent say they’re looking for someone from outside the political establishment rather than someone with political experience – drastically different from the 21-76 percent division on this issue among leaned Democrats. And Trump wins 41 percent support from registered leaned Republicans looking for an outsider, vs. 18 percent from those who prefer political experience.

Trump also continues to garner greater support among less educated potential voters -– 46 percent among those who haven’t gone beyond high school, vs. 23 percent among those who’ve attended college. And he’s still more popular among men than women, with 37 vs. 27 percent. Indeed white men without a college degree (leaned Republicans overwhelmingly are white) are among his strongest groups in voter preference and on issues and attributes alike.

Trump also does particularly well among leaned Republicans who oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement he, too, opposes. He’s backed by 45 percent of its critics vs. 21 percent of its supporters.
Further, Trump is maintaining his support among groups where it might not be expected -– for example, he’s backed by a third of evangelical white Protestants, “very” conservative leaned Republicans and Southerners alike. He has 36 percent support in non-urban areas, vs. 24 percent in cities.

Groups

These results also are reflected in perceptions of candidate attributes. Men, those with less education, those who prefer a political outsider and opponents of the Trans-Pacific Partnership generally are more apt to rate Trump positively.

In one potential trouble spot for Trump, very conservative Republicans –- a key GOP group –- are less likely than “somewhat” conservatives to view him as the strongest leader of the lot, although he leads on this attribute in both groups, picked as strongest leader by 40 percent of strong conservatives and 52 percent of somewhat conservatives.

Additionally, just 14 percent of very conservatives think Trump's the most honest and trustworthy; 40 percent say it's Carson. And while very conservative leaned Republicans say by 53-35 percent that the more they hear about Trump the more they like him, that swells to 78-10 percent for Carson.

Methodology

This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Oct. 15-18, 2015, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults, including 423 leaned Republicans. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points for the full sample and 5.5 points for leaned Republicans, including the survey’s design effect. Partisan divisions are 30-24-39 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York, N.Y. See details on the survey’s methodology here.
