Trump: You have men and you have women - that's 50-50. And then you have religion - it's almost 80 percent - but have less power.

That's sucks, glad she's able to get Medicare.
I needed knee surgery when I was in college but my parents didn't have insurance. I applied for temporary Medicaid and thank god it worked. The surgery was more thank 10k, i would have been fucked!

I'd rather just follow the fun on Twitter. Legit don't like listening to him.
Oh man I hope he says a lot of dumb inaccurate things about Christianity
This is an issue for any political group to varying degrees.
There's a few economics issues where left-leaning economists are in an awkward spot if they want to speak out because their POVs don't mesh with liberal preferences or orthodoxy.

He's telling them that the government has "taken all their power away".
(by not allowing them to have tax exemptions UNLESS they don't endorse candidates)

Gravis Maine:
Hillary: 46
Trump: 36
Hillary: 43
Trump: 33
Johnson: 10
Stein: 5
Good look with that extra EV.
EDIT: oof, actually, the demos of this are a mess. 66% white, 16% black, 14% Hispanic... that is not Maine.

Trump told the GOP to add revoking the Johnson Amendment to the platform?
It's not just Bernie supporters. I had a strong opinion that she was a centrist before this cycle started. Why? I... am not sure where I got the idea from. Because I was judging Bill's old policy with a modern eye?
Was still planning to vote for her because lolgop, but a lot of people have been super negative on Hillary for years and when it's all you see, it adds up.
Maybe HUELEN10 would understand this

This speech isn't terrible in that he hasn't called for an assassination....but my god it's just terrible. I mean, it's the ramblings of an insane man. He's randomly drowned out by a cough. A COUGH.

Isn't the reason these speech-truthers exist is due to Clinton releasing her tax Returns?

Trump promises pastors religion will go way up once he gets elected
And he's doubling down on Obama and Hillary being the founders of ISIS. And they're MVP.

I originally interpreted this as "Pastors' religion" and was like whuh

He just said Obama and Hillary are bad people. The same phrasing he uses to slam ISIS and terrorists.
This is lovely. This is fine.

Record-breaking religion indices! All time highs!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The only way this happens is with forced religious participation, so, that isn't happening.
He's truly given up on anyone who has two brain cells to rub together. We'll cut taxes! (yay!) And we'll still have more money to spend! (yay!) I'll defeat ISIS! (yay!) Everyone gets a raise! (yay!) Mexicans will all vanish! (yay!) More people in church! (yay!) I can do it all just trust me! (yay!)

It is gibberish.
He's saying religion is : does an arm movement showing a downward trend:
Once he's elected : does an arm movement showing an upward trend :
Responds "Well, maybe not that much..." : does an arm movement with a slightly less steep upward climb :
He also just told a room full of pastors that he has a bigger heart than most of them, except for maybe one person...but he's better at politicking than he is, so it's okay.

Telling pastors that their faith will only be tolerated under a Trump administration is truly an awful, awful thing to say. Faith and beliefs are way more resilient than governments and institutions.
Total garbage and spoken like a man who's never practiced or believed in a faith in their entire life.

Folks, I'm telling you, if you vote for me you're gonna be so much more physically attractive you won't believe it. People are going to be hitting on you so much, you won't be able to stand it. The action you'll get, I mean, we're losers under Obama, nobody's getting any. That's obamacare, folks, you know, it is just horrible, horrible, for our attractiveness, people can't understand that. I hear, the experts all say it, I mean something's got to change, it has to change. And it will change once I make beauty work for you again, believe me, under a Trump presidency we will get America laid again, it's gonna be great, so great folks.

He's obviously talking about religious belief and participation. The religious right consistently decry an increasingly faithless society.
Mocking imprecisions in speech even when the meaning is eminently clear is actually veiled classism.

its weird watching trump now. He is basically flailing until he finds a talking point that works, no matter how extreme it is. it worked in the primary but its failing now.
I don't see that the Ryan primary gives us any reason to believe this. Trump lost Ryan's district. He lost the whole state by over 10 points. Against Ted Cruz.
Yeah, "normal" GOP voters aren't going to keep voting for someone like Trump if they have another Republican to vote for instead. But they didn't do that this time either! He only got 45% of the vote in the primary. This is only a little better than Bernie Sanders did. And for a lot of that it was clear that his main competition was Ted Cruz. But why would that substantial minority not keep voting for Trump-like candidates? Do you think they're going to see Trump go down in flames and decide on strategic grounds to vote for less obviously racist candidates?
I feel like next time around there's nothing that's going to work out differently for a Jeb-like candidate. A large minority wants someone who's willing to be loudly racist. Another large minority just hates anything that looks like the Republican establishment and wants to burn it all down. Only about 25% actually want a Jeb or a Rubio or a Kasich.
This isn't something that Trump did. It's what he proved. Any jackass with enough notoriety to be taken semi-seriously when they announce that they're running now has a recipe for getting a bunch of primary votes. I mean, the Republican primary already featured mostly people who were just trying to promote their books and get jobs at Fox, it's just that before Trump they all figured that the right character to play was optimistic culture warrior.
Meanwhile Ted Cruz isn't going away either, and he draws the votes of the people who really care about conservative principles and are most turned-off by Trump on moral grounds. The problem before was that the Ted Cruz types and the Mike Huckabee types were competing with each other and the people who don't care that much about abortion and gay marriage but who really care about racism didn't have a better option than the Republican establishment candidate. Now the Huckabee types can see that there's an underserved market here.
So how does Jeb 2020 get to 40% of the primary vote?

Trump admits he's having a problem in Utah.
Bible sales will skyrocket thanks to Trump's new Trump-branded "Trump Bibles" featuring "President Trump's Presidential Seal of Trump Approval".

FWIW the leader of the group which hosts this Pastors and Pews thing has called LGBTQ a Marxist plot.
I assure you that 99% of the people who attend these churches always vote and always vote Republican. There's no gains for Trump to be made here.

Along with that quote in the thread in OT, do you guys think Trump is getting ready to throw in the towel (at least effort wise)?

Trump: Could you reach out to swing states for me?
Like running with "Hillary will raise taxes!" because you can't hear a contraction?

Corporate taxation and free trade?
It's funny how some on the left ignore these things when they constantly bring up Scandinavian social democracy. Low corporate taxation and unfettered trade are some of the biggest pillars that make the system work.

It's due to Sanders making it an issue in the primary.

He's referencing mormons in a room of evangelicals.
