Donald Trump can, and will, if we help him, destroy GOP



Donald trump, if he is the nominee, permanently destroys or fractures the GOP.

Whatever you can do to help Trump become the GOP nominee, helps all of the human race.

Can you re-register somewhere and vote for him?

Whatever you can do.

This is huge, people.

I think the person who alerted is concerned with the OP. I.E. the disrupt approach.

A hard liner against Trump - wouldn't want to cast a vote for him ever -not even to disrupt the primary.

I don't think this was a stalker -but someone who probaby hates the miserable maggot even more than I do.

Even if he won't win this time, there will be another Trump, and another and another - until one of them sticks. As long as the GOP sells fear and hatred, it will stoke the flames in those who are vulnerable to that type of message.

34. Problem is the DNC is lacking
Wed Mar 2, 2016, 03:06 PM
Mar 2016

There is a reason that the RNC has tied up so many governorship's, state & local government spots, and representatives in Congress. It is a ladder to the top for them.

I think it is because we don't get the word out to refute the lies and propaganda from the right wing. We need people on the street passing out pamphlets, news papers, radio, tv, phone calls & door to door. We are lacking communication.

I heard nothing locally disputing the rightwing propaganda about the IRS, Benghazi, and now Hillary emails. And I hear the right wing blasting away. I see lying lawyers like Levin bringing false lawsuits over and over to destroy Hillary's credibility. They have a well organized oiled machine eating us up.

IMO, we need to do the same kind of things. Bring lawsuits for defamation of character everytime the right espouses a lie. Why isn't the Hillary campaign doing this?

I think we can reverse the trend, we just have to work harder to do it.

Wed Mar 2, 2016, 12:33 PM
Mar 2016
Clinical psychologist George Simon said that Trump is “so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example of his characteristics.” He conducts lectures and seminars on manipulative behavior exhibited by narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths – all related Anti Social Personality Disorders. “Otherwise, I would have had to hire actors and write vignettes. He’s like a dream come true.”

Explanation: Alerter you screwed up - in no way shape or form is randys1 advocating for Trump. He is one of the STRONGEST allies to Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, GLBT, Women, etc. etc at DU. Are you CERTAIN you meant this? Your alert doesn't match with what he has written? I really hope he has not just been alert stalked into a time out by this.

In the end, he'll unify the GOP--he needs them and Republicans, frankly, want to be tamed by an alpha male angry daddy figure. They'll be his quislings. He'll not have a viable challenge on his right and he'll do a brilliant job of the same trash-talk bullshit on Clinton that he's done on Jeb, Rubio, and Kasich.

The rest will never vote for a Democrat, but they are going to sit out the general if Trump is the nominee.

32. You think Trump can't manipulate the GOP voters in the general election?
Wed Mar 2, 2016, 01:21 PM
Mar 2016

He's already manipulating mainstream pols into endorsing him. Once the serious scare tactics about a Clinton Presidency starts up, you'll see a huge rallying behind the candidate at the Republican Convention.

Do they hate him now? Sure! That's because his pathway required divisiveness. Once he's going in the fall, his pathway involves seeming to be more mature. He's already giving hints that that's where he's going next. He'll trash Clinton on corporate donations and cronyism, he'll get away with his own Wall Street donors hiding behind his bravado, and he'll keep the party in line with his anti-PC shtick.

Trump is uninhibited by the need to be or seem sincere. He has the capacity to get rid of his high negatives with just enough people to move up in the polls. Clinton, barring a miracle, does not.

Trust me, you do NOT want Trump as our opponent this year.

Why is the media throwing this idiot softball articles and reports? Where are the compiled list of all the stuff he is promising, the costs to provide it? Where is the ongoing lists of his lies and why aren't they being publicized? Trump is a bag of lies and deceptions. I could beat him in an election by telling bigger Whoppers than he does. In fact I would call my campaign the Whopper, and eat Whoppers daily, drag out the models to drip juice on, etc. I would have bigger walls, bigger tax cuts, bigger bigger, and the sad part is, the American people are so starved they would vote for me.

The vote was 0-7, and I lost my alerting privileges for 24 hours for making the alert.

I see above that one of the jurors actually voted for Trump in the Florida Primary.

I view this as a DU jury fail.

DU needs to make rules against advocating voting for GOP candidates in Primaries going forward, to prevent future jury fails.
