Inside Donald Trump’s Last Stand: An Anxious Nominee Seeks Assurance

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Look, America, we don't ask much of you nowadays, but please, for once look over the Atlantic to see what happens when you vote out of anger instead of logical thought.

We have wrecked 40 years of progress in the EU because something something bloody EU something something.

Don't let your anger at the political machine make you vote for something much, much worse.

Trump is poison, do not let him near the White House.

Yours: The United Kingdom.

P.S: I shall be up at 3am UK time on Wednesday because parenting, I hope that by then the preliminary results should be a clear Clinton victory.

I mean seriously, this guy can't even be trusted with a Twitter account. Imagine him trying to talk at a G8 meeting or worse at the UN Security Council. Seriously, just imagine him up against Merkel or Abe trying to convince them that Russia isn't too bad or nukes are the solution to North Korea. Yeah.

I wouldn't celebrate yet, we could all be waking up to a president Trump. W was voted twice into office. We all need to calm down and wait for the results, hoping people did the right thing.

It helped that W was running against two of the most boring, uninteresting candidates in US history. Love or hate Hillary, you cannot deny that people can't stop talking about her. People made jokes about how dull and boring Al Gore was since 1992 (Simpson ones of course the funniest) and Kerry...who the hell even REMEMBERS him? He was such a lame duck candidate that no one even bothers to satirize him.

NYT did a spectacular job doing stories on Trump this year. And the Washington post as well. I bet Trump is kicking himself for revoking the Post's privileges to cover his rallies now.

I gave the free trial a shot in the summer and I haven't been able to stop reading. It's the first thing I check every day when I wake up in the morning. I never was much into the news but NYT is just great writing day after day.

So is this how it starts?

Revoke his twitter privilages (I cannot believe this man is trying to be the most powerful leader in the world and yet has been given a time-out by his handlers) until tomorrow, then he declares himself winner prematurely, thus giving him momentum to throw the timeless excuses of:

'It's all rigged for Hillary!'
'Show me the voting slips!'
'Our credible sources say I was tremendously more voted for than Crooked Hillary'
'Of course I won, I even called it!'
'Why is the government lying to us all about who won?'

Just enough time to say he got his foot in the 'I won' door first, to stroke his ego and give his supporters one last, sad bone to chew as the more stable side of the US, and the rest of the world, get back down to business.

For a moment just take away the sexism, the racism, the xenophobia, the outbursts, the lying, the hyperbole, the scams and scandals. Forget all of the awful, indefensible and toxic bull he's said.

How can anybody take seriously a person who claims he is the most qualified to do everything, the best at everything, the most respectful of everyone. Nobody knows the economy better than he does. Nobody respects women as much as he does. Nobody understands more about ISIS than he does.

Not only this, he will quickly and singularly solve every problem. He will fix healthcare the day he takes office. He will take out ISIS immediately. He will bring back manufacturing jobs.

There is a dangerous mix of delusion, complete ignorance and pride that is unbelievable. I don't understand how people support him. He literally sounds like a child lashing out saying he's the bestest at everything forever and ever to infinity plus one.

A lot of folks don't see it that way or can't pick up on it. It's a sales pitch, targeted at people that are just angry at the way things are going, even though they are going relatively good. Those people live in a bubble that they never come out of. Watch Fox News sometime. The dose of rhetoric you'll take in a short span of time will make you sick. There are people that watch (and trust) nothing else but what all of these toxic right wingers have to say.

And if you challenge their beliefs, they become more entrenched, because they're past the point of considering evidence - if you could even find any they'd trust to begin with.

You just listed the main reasons why he got support in the first place. But other than that, these people, these racists were desperate, desperate to have better things and a call back to "the old days". And in their desperation, they turned to a man that could encourage them to be ignorant pieces of shit and feel proud of it. Even if he was lying to them the entire time.

I really like how an earlier post here noted that the trump campaign took away his Twitter because he was being irresponsible with it but yet they're ok with this guy having the nuclear codes. This planet is doomed if he wins the election.

And that is what pisses me off and makes me realize what Hillary said about Trump is true. I know I'm not saying it right but "He can be baited by a tweet. This is a man that should not have the nuclear codes."

It's unfair to say '43% of this country support Donald Trump' and it's *really* unfair to say this election is 'close' or that half of the country want Trump.

Even if Trump gets 43% of the vote on Tuesday, that isn't 43% of the country. We know his base are energized either because he's a racist, or because he's not the arch demon Hillary Clinton.

Probably a good half of those people would vote for literally anyone other than Hillary because they've fallen victim to decades of lies and propaganda. There are far worse things you could say about a group of people.

This isn't going to be close in modern terms. And it certainly isn't going to be close in electoral college terms.

Plus, I read the title of this thread as 'noxious nominee' instead of 'anxious nominee'. I think my misread was more accurate.

Kerry is your secretary of state after all.

And if you want to go this way, Trump will be less boring as president as Clinton.

Clinton is more popular than Trump, but it's hard to remember a presidential nominee who was disliked more than them.

The Tea Party did that, Trump only jumped on the train. Actually it already begun in the 1990s after Bush lost to Clinton.

The Tea Party hasn't gained anything close this kind of wide spread traction before. The last time a candidate had someone from tea party even connected to their campaign it completely sunk them (John McCain electing Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate).

half those people are still voting for trump despite having other options than Hillary. They are still rationalising and supporting a racist, misogynist, blabbering fool.

Minus the impeachment (which won't happen), this will be the status quo of the past 8 years. At least I won't have to see Trump's fat face and listen to my conservative relatives ramble on and on about this shitshow.

I agree.
I want the devastating realization of the loss to just rain down on him.
I refuse to except some limp wristed hand shake.
I want his brand to suffer, I want his children's brands to suffer.
I want to see true old school blacklisting.
I want the weight of the lies and all of the things that have come out, the lawsuits and everything else to fall on him with a vengeance.

Didn't that pre-date the Tea Party? And Palin didn't sink John McCain, though she didn't help. He never had a real chance to win the presidency, no Republican did after Bush, and Obama was a phenomena that any remote chance of it happening was crushed outright

No. I want him and everything about him back in the cesspool of shit where it came from.

Even the fact that he popularized his shitty wording style is an affront to the english language. With enough time, people might unironically start saying "sad!" at the end of everything, and that's just depressing.

No. Sarah Palin used the Tea Party as a rallying cry during that campaign.
