Let’s be honest – Donald Trump is a loser.

Count all his failed businesses. See how he kept his father’s empire afloat by cheating people with scams like Trump University and by using strategic corporate bankruptcy (excuse me, bankruptcies) to skip out on debt. Listen to the experts who’ve concluded he’s so bad at business that he might have more money today if he’d put his entire inheritance into an index fund and just left it alone.

Trump seems to know he’s a loser. His embarrassing insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism. But just because Trump is a loser everywhere else doesn’t mean he’ll lose this election. People have been underestimating his campaign for nearly a year – and it’s time to wake up.

People talk about how "this is the most important election" in our lifetime every four years, and it gets stale. But consider what hangs in the balance. Affordable college. Accountability for Wall Street. Healthcare for millions of Americans. The Supreme Court. Big corporations and billionaires paying their fair share of taxes. Expanded Social Security. Investments in infrastructure and medical research and jobs right here in America. The chance to turn our back on the ugliness of hatred, sexism, racism and xenophobia. The chance to be a better people.

More than anyone we’ve seen before come within reach of the presidency, Donald Trump stands ready to tear apart an America that was built on values like decency, community, and concern for our neighbors. Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and Trump is a serious threat. The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it.
like I said, if the dems weren';t ramming that corrupt piece of shit crook Hillary down everyone's throat, trump wouldn't be an issue

I think that has nothing to do with it. It has to do with his approach, his disrespect to many in front of millions, his inconsistencies, lack of plans, better than thou attitude when he's just as corrupt as everyone else running. It's easier to blame another person (or party) for ones behavior than looking at the individual and pointing out their flaws.

Trump is a clown, an individual who enjoys the controversy, he's a business man.. business men can be crooked as hell because it's all about them and how to make their business better for gains. He has had some successes BUT that doesn't qualify him to run a country. Time and time again when asked about specific topics (and who's he's talked to) he says he's spoken with himself.. umm yes let me trust a man who has not reached out to other leaders for insight and knowledge.

Look at the video on the previous page.. enough said and that's just one topic highlighted.
 
The Most Important States On Trump’s Path To 1,237 Delegates
The Most Important States On Trump’s Path To 1,237 Delegates

On Monday, we published the results of a survey of fellow presidential election delegate obsessives that we conducted in an effort to map out Donald Trump’s route to the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the Republican nomination. So for this week’s politics Slack chat, we also gathered the available members of that panel to talk over/geek out on the results. The transcript below has been lightly edited.
 
Meet the Women Working to Take Down Trump
http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/03/women-trying-to-defeat-donald-trump.html

Chandler Smith, a 28-year-old mother of three from Cincinnati, Ohio, never considered herself much of a political activist. But a few weeks ago, she and her husband were talking about the GOP primary when they came up with an idea — a “Lysistrata movement” for women whose partners were supporting Trump. “We had a hunch that the combination of humor, anger, and sex would be pretty shareable,” says Smith, who, along with her husband, got on the phone with some friends and started building a website that night. The website, Vote Trump Get Dumped, asks women to “Join us by wielding your influence. Until Trump is defeated, we don't date, sleep with, or canoodle with Trump supporters. The Greeks did it. Women during the temperance movement did it. This is a tried and true method of getting men’s attention when they’re being dumb.”

The site and its corresponding Twitter account @WomenDumpTrump — which tweets misogynistic things the GOP front-runner has said about women and has collected more than 47,000 followers since launching on March 8 — is Smith’s way of doing her part to organize against a GOP candidate whose history of sexist comments could make a talk-radio host blush. “This is meant to be a funny way to talk about serious issues. We're trying to get people talking about Trump's inability to control his tongue, and what that means about his suitability to govern and to represent America to the rest of the world,” Smith says.

On Muslim Rights, the Republican Party Is Now the Trump Party
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/on-muslim-rights-the-gop-is-now-the-trump-party.html#

Donald Trump’s candidacy has carved a gulf down the middle of the Republican Party. But the divide is not formed by the elemental us-versus-them appeal that lies at the heart of Trump’s unbreakable connection with the Republican base. Look at the way traditional conservatives have framed their attacks on him. Anti-Trump conservatives relentlessly describe Trump as “center left” or “liberal.” They https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/21/trump-and-universal-health-care-the-silver-bullet-that-never-connects/ (run ads) attacking him for his past rhetorical support for universal health insurance, ignoring his current rock-solid Republican positioning. Conservatives attack Trump as a liberal because they have given up on fighting his ultranationalist appeal, or else never cared to oppose it in the first place. This new reality can be seen in the wake of the Brussels bombings, in which the divided Republican Party speaks with one voice.

 
A new poll conducted by CNN suggests that Republican voters agree with Trump. Six in 10 say that if no candidate wins a majority of the delegates in the first ballot at the Republican convention, then the delegates should vote for "the candidate with the most support in the primaries and caucuses." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/22/theres-some-very-good-news-for-donald-trump-in-the-new-cnn-poll/ (There’s some very good news for Donald Trump in the new CNN poll)
 
Sample Questions from the Trump University Final Exam
Sample Questions from the Trump University Final Exam - The New Yorker

Below you will find three examples of questions from previous final exams at Trump University. Use these sample questions and the answer key provided to prepare for next week’s big test.

1. Two plus two equals what?

(a) Maybe four.
(b) Could be four. Could be. Lotta people saying it’s five.
(c) I’m not saying it’s five; I’m saying it could be—could be five. You see these establishment hacks, losers, like Mitt Romney? Real crank. They hate me. They take answers like “could be” and say, “Oh, he says two plus two equals five.” I never said that. I never—I said “could be.” Could be six. We don’t know.
(d) All of the above.
(e) None of the above.
(f) D and E.

2. Describe a major theme of “The Old Man and the Sea.”

(a) Well, the theme is big. That I can assure you. Definitely no problem in the theme department. Quite big. Quite.
(b) I know what you want me to say here. You want me to say “yuge.” Well, I’m not. I’m not gonna say that.
(c) Should I say it? . . . No. I’m not gonna say it. But it is.
(d) Now—and I don’t even wanna bring it up—but you got a lot of people. I’m not going to mention names. O.K., Marco. You got Little Marco, who has a tiny theme. No, it’s true. Very small. Probably why he’s outta the race. Seriously, find me one person who says there was a big theme behind that campaign. But anyway, here’s Little Marco, saying I’m the one with the small theme. Can you believe that? Says I’m like Santiago in “The Old Man and the Sea.” Says I sometimes lose my harpoon—you know, prematurely—when I try to reel in the big fish. Totally not true.
(e) In fact, reminds me of the time I tried to get a date with Brooke Shields. Remember Brooke Shields? Gorgeous. Not like my wife. Gorgeous, though. I asked her out. She said no. Career went downhill after that. Left me like Santiago at the end of the book, hauling this gigantic mast home with nothing to show for my troubles.
(f) Seriously, “The Old Man and the Sea”? Please. Santiago’s not a winner. Here’s what you need to read: “The Art of the Deal.” Best book since the Bible. Probably better. People say that. I don’t. People do. Bible was, like, God with sixty ghostwriters. “The Art of the Deal” was just me, dictating to Tony Schwartz. Great guy. Takes dictation better than Moses.

3. H2O is the chemical symbol for what compound?

(a) What the hell’s “huh-twenty”?
(b) No, that’s what it says, “huh-twenty.” Or maybe the “H” is silent. I dunno.
(c) I didn’t say “huh-twenty.” You said “huh-twenty.” You asked me what “huh-twenty” was. You see, this is what the media does. They claim, “You said ‘huh-twenty!’ ” And I’m like, “I said? No you said ‘huh-twenty.’ I just repeated what you said.”
(d) That’s all they do, ask these totally bogus questions, when what they should be asking about is Hillary’s e-mails. That’s what this question should be about. Because what she did—wow. I mean, that’s why she’s hugging Obama every chance she gets.
(e) You know who else hugs Obama? Chris Christie.
(f) But we love Chris, don’t we? We love Chris.

Answer key:

1. I like A. I like B, too. D doesn’t do much for me, but E and F are real winners.

2. I’m gonna have to look into A and B. C is very compelling. Very. I hear good things about D through F. But I don’t wanna say anything yet.

3. I don’t know why people are saying there were three questions. There weren’t. I mean, do you have video? Show me the video where there were three questions. You can’t, because there is no video. People come here. They try to make trouble, saying we started a question three. We did not. And lemme tell ya, we’re gonna fight back. I’m not saying we’ll sue, but we could. Throw a few punches, ya know. Because this test prep is a great test prep. You thought so, too: you signed the agreement saying that you thought this was the greatest test prep of all time and that you wanted to be sued if video surfaced of you saying otherwise.

Congratulations, this was actually the final. You’ve passed. Now give me $35,000.
 
Trump Yarmulkes Are Biggest Seller at AIPAC Conference

If yarmulke sales are any indication of voter attitudes, Donald Trump was the clear winner at AIPAC on Monday night.

Marc Daniels, a vendor selling campaign logo kippas outside the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington, D.C. on Monday evening, said the “Donald Trump 2016” cap was his most popular item by far.

The political scene in the US (and most likely the world) seems contrived to me. At the exit polls for example in Arizona showed Bernie winning by a landslide. But we know who won that.

I don't buy all this shit. I think anyone with a voice is shutdown and ostracized because the same people that want Clinton and Trump being the Two, own the media and everything else. People like Wellstone, Sanders, or even Ron Paul for that matter will not ever get to the general election. They are too against the establishment. It's a fucking horse and pony show people.

The sad harsh truth.

Media and the rich control the puppet strings and we are just puppets.

Wake up people and break those invisible puppet strings!
 
Donald Trump Hates Women
Donald Trump Has One Core Philosophy: Misogyny

Donald Trump holds one core belief. It’s not limited government. He favored a state takeover of health care before he was against it. Nor is it economic populism. Despite many years of arguing the necessity of taxing the rich, he now wants to slice their rates to bits. Trump has claimed his nonlinear approach to policy is a virtue. Closing deals is what matters in the end, he says, not unbleached allegiance to conviction. But there’s one ideology that he does hold with sincerity and practices with unwavering fervor: misogyny.

Transcript: Donald Trump Expounds on His Foreign Policy Views

In Donald Trump’s Worldview, America Comes First, and Everybody Else Pays

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/27/us/politics/donald-trump-foreign-policy.html

Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, said that if elected, he might halt purchases of oil from Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies unless they commit ground troops to the fight against the Islamic State or “substantially reimburse” the United States for combating the militant group, which threatens their stability.

“If Saudi Arabia was without the cloak of American protection,” Mr. Trump said during a 100-minute interview on foreign policy, spread over two phone calls on Friday, “I don’t think it would be around.”

He also said he would be open to allowing Japan and South Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals rather than depend on the American nuclear umbrella for their protection against North Korea and China. If the United States “keeps on its path, its current path of weakness, they’re going to want to have that anyway, with or without me discussing it,” Mr. Trump said.

And he said he would be willing to withdraw United States forces from both Japan and South Korea if they did not substantially increase their contributions to the costs of housing and feeding those troops. “Not happily, but the answer is yes,” he said.

Mr. Trump also said he would seek to renegotiate many fundamental treaties with American allies, possibly including a 56-year-old security pact with Japan, which he described as one-sided.

In Mr. Trump’s worldview, the United States has become a diluted power, and the main mechanism by which he would re-establish its central role in the world is economic bargaining. He approached almost every current international conflict through the prism of a negotiation, even when he was imprecise about the strategic goals he sought. He again faulted the Obama administration’s handling of the negotiations with Iran last year — “It would have been so much better if they had walked away a few times,” he said — but offered only one new idea about how he would change its content: Ban Iran’s trade with North Korea.
