Observer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Trump is only 2 pts back in the latest Quinnipiac poll, even though he's spent just about nothing compared to Clinton. 6 points according to most polls and the RCP average. The Fox polling is usually the best and has him at 6. And in the battleground states, he's getting shellacked. It's early but it ain't looking pretty. Hillary is a flat criminal but she controls her soundbytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reasons of security and communications. 2) ANY Air Force plane the president flies on is Air Force One. A Marine helo is Marine one. A Navy plane is Navy One (only done once to my knowledge - when Bush flew to the Lincoln). Unless Trump REALLY thinks that the president shouldn't be available for presidential business when he's on the campaign trail, he's basically bitching about a naming convention.

I can't speak for Donald, but why does the president (any president) get to fly around on the the tax payers dime to campaign for anyone? Stay in DC and do your job.

B-Man Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) 1) The president is always flown by the Air Force (Marine helos excepted). For reasons of security and communications. Of course. I expect nothing different. The question is.................Is he pretending that he is on POTUS/ government business ? and that he just happened upon a Hillary rally ? or is he simply using government assets to help the dem candidate ? That's a fair enough question. Much more importantly............the fact that Obama is campaigning with Hillary guarantees that there will not be any E-Mail indictment . .

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The fact that a sitting president campaigns for a candidate who is under investigation by the FBI for damaging our country,AND, the current attorney General just happened to have a secret meeting with salt candidate whos under investigations husband who is conveniently former president......tells you everything you need to know. The system is broken. Period. The political elite do as they please with no repercussions and laws to not apply to them. Even more pathetic is tens of millions of American idiots will vote for her just because she has a V and a D next to her name, enables this criminal behavior and treason. Our country is doomed to fail if these actions are permissible and given a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is kind of a no-win election. I'd rather vote for an empty suit who'll be so despised he can't accomplish anything than a criminal who i know will make the world a far worse place.

B-Man Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 WELL, YES: from Dave Weigel: Trump, Saddam and why people mistrust the media. The point is that Trump has been saying, for quite some time, that the United States should not have gone to war in Iraq, and that it should side with dictators as long as they “kill terrorists.” The Republican primary electorate endorsed that view. Clinton, as a senator and then as secretary of state, took another view, and backed the use of American power to remove both Hussein and Libya’s Moammar Gaddafi. There’s video of Clinton gleefully saying “We came, we saw, he died” upon learning that Gaddafi had been torn apart by his own people. This has never been treated like a gaffe; but Trump’s “Saddam killed terrorists” riff suddenly is. By consistently covering Trump’s argument over time, and by following up on it, media outlets did their job to inform voters. That was why Tuesday night’s collective Captain Renault moment was so strange, and so demonstrative of why many media consumers are skeptical of what they’re hearing. Instead of a debate on the facts — should Hussein have been removed? Did he “kill terrorists,” in a contradiction of what Americans were told before the war? — there was manufactured outrage, straight from a rival campaign. Think of them as Democratic operatives with bylines, and you will not go far wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Trump is the idiot's idiot. He toys with the idea of quitting if elected. WTF? Presented in a recent interview with a scenario, floating around the political ether, in which the presumptive Republican nominee proves all the naysayers wrong, beats Hillary Clinton and wins the presidency, only to forgo the office as the ultimate walk-off winner, Mr. Trump flashed a mischievous smile. “I’ll let you know how I feel about it after it happens,” he said, minutes before leaving his Trump Tower office to fly to a campaign rally in New Hampshire.

Observer Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) If he makes Scott Walker his running mate and promises to quit after the election, I'm all in! If he promises to quit if he wins, he can nominate my left sock. If he attends the presidential debates as suggested today, 2 of them are long format (15 minutes per topic!!). He was a targically silent figure when the debates turned substantive in the home forum of the Republican debates. Can you imagine him staring at a mic for 7 minutes and trying to talk sensibly?
