Trump takes poll lead as Democratic Party convention descends into chaos

[FlyingJesus]

I think (and hope) that all his wild noise about putting up a wall around Mexico and such nonsense is just to get the uneducated majority of voters to give him a reactionary vote - it's working, and my hope is that he's just using that to grab the seat with no intention of going through with it. He's a businessman, he knows how to market a product and this time the product is himself. With any luck he's got enough intelligence along with that business acumen to make him not tear the country down

I hope trump wins.

@lawrawrrr;

The rape allegations aren't being taken seriously because that is what they are, allegations. Which have strangely just arisen as he runs for office, hmm!

Unlike Hillary Clinton who we know deserves a place in a cell (as it would be for you or me) for her incompetence over secure emails.

[lawrawrrr]

They absolutely are being taken seriously, he's literally fighting a civil lawsuit???? From what I know (I don't fully understand what went on) Hillary's server thing was sheer incompetence rather than active law-breaking - bit of research led me to this article and this listicle which look fairly believable and explanatory to me...

investigators announced that Clinton did nothing criminally wrong by using her personal email account while handling classified information as secretary of state

and I kinda trust those findings rather than "Undertaker from HabboxForum" or the party-political slurs from the GOP.

What about Trump's bankruptcies and scams and various other outrageous racist, sexist, purely terrifying claims... are we all justifying those??

What I don't understand is how his supporters seem to be turning a complete blind eye to all the rape allegations, bankruptcies, practically scam enterprises (Trump U for example)... the list goes on!

I saw something on Twitter recently which said that his "real" percentage was around 20% and the polls were skewed or something - I can't find it now though!


I do now worry he may have a decent chance of winning but the policies he's pledged to SURELY won't be passed... he's a terrifying thought as a world leader though. Please, please let Sanders backers do the sensible thing and not split the Dem vote any more because it's looking like a close one as it is...

Sanders backers have every right to split the vote though, Hillary Clinton would be **** terrible. The DNC have backed their horse, shafted Sanders completely (as is demonstrated in the Wikileaks emails) and has shown that Sanders never stood a chance. The sensible thing would be Sanders supporters sticking to their guns, or voting third party.

The blame lies on the corrupt politicians who only looked out for themselves. As scary as Trump may be, he is a demonstration that Americans are fed up of their politicians being bought and the feeling that their votes don't count anymore in a two-party system where people get away with criminal acts.

Better the devil you know, than the devil who lies through her teeth.

Trump: Yes isn't it funny that such allegations are made just as he's running for President. Now why would that be I wonder? And surely if there's anything in the case then wouldn't that be headline news and a criminal trial rather than being confined to the pages of the Huffington Post and Independent newspaper?

Clinton: Oh but come on, everybody knows if anyone else leaked secure emails from the government like that then a) there's not a chance in hell they would keep their job & b) they'd likely end up in prison. But because it's corrupt Hillary and the Clinton machine she gets a free pass. Even Democrats find her crooked af.

You forgot to use other classic-but-meaningless insults such as homophobic, xenophobia and bigoted.

This tbh why I could see Trump winning it. Instead of taking on the arguments, all the left can do is dismiss him with silly and overused slurs. Like Brexit.

[FlyingJesus]

I don't think it's particularly meaningless to call a racist a racist tbh but anyway both of them should be in prison really considering y'know they broke laws and stuff

Maybe after this is all over we can be the 51st state of Donald Trump's America lol

What's amazing is that she is ignoring her email scandal as if it is no big deal. And you are right, someone else would be in jail right now, and she isn't keeping her job, she is trying to get a big promotion haha!

Trump isn't an idiot to have so many successful businesses. He may have some ridiculous ideas but I like his other ideas and at least he is brave enough to say what he thinks instead of saying the things he feels will poll well. Other politicians will conduct a poll and then decide what lie to tell.

Trump is a "dangerous" candidate, say supporters of the candidate whose policies unleashed ISIS, terror in Europe, and the migrant crisis.
