Alright. What about the past week indicates Donald Trump has the experience, depth of knowledge, or temperament to be president? Is there any evidence of a steady, stable leader in there?

Feel free, we're all cool here, but there's no love for Trump, so don't take an attack on Trump as a personal attack.

Like, the lowest bar I'd have for my candidate is not making me ashamed. But, you know, that's me.
Has anything that has happened in the past week convinced you to stop supporting him? If not, why not, out of curiosity?
Just reading the bit in your previous post about deporting illegal immigrants. You don't really need a degree in economics to figure out that deporting 11 million people would have a major economic impact, aside from the fact it would require so much money and so many resources as to bring about exactly the kind of government intervention in people's lives that conservatives so often decry.

I wouldn't pay any attention to FL Senate polling until the primary is wrapped up and Dems know who is running against Marco.
I've not seen this posted by reputable mainstream sources, but if true the attack ads write themselves. There's also tying him to the poison that is Trump what with his flaccid endorsement.

That FL poll is great for Clinton, but ugh that gaudy Rubio lead. Still hope Democrats can turn it around, I think he's a much weaker candidate than people tend to give him credit for.
That F&M Pennsylvania poll shows a big lead for McGinty in the RV pool (up just 1 with likely voters), and the UNH NH poll just shows a big lead for Hassan. Take those with WI, IL and IN and Dems have 51 seats.

We talk about the absurdities of Trump's social policies, but I don't think we talk about how bad his economics are.
He's promoting supply side economics gone mad with trillions of dollars on tax cuts to the rich that will have little to none real impact on job growth. On top in the trillions in tax cuts he proposes trillions in military budget increases and double Hillary's infrastructure plan.
The deficit is g going to get blown out of the water even with Paul Ryan's wet dream in austerity and middle class spending cuts.
Polling still shows he would do better with economy than Hillary despite having an economic plan that makes the Bush years look like baby's first oligarchy.

I'm just going to assume it's the Trump Campaign documentary until informed otherwise.
"Again, Hall & Oates."
It would have been so
Don't forget reviving protectionism and starting trade wars with any nation that even so much as looks at him funny.

I kind of mentioned this before....
Because of the strategy we've taken in that the race is no longer Democrat vs Republican but Donald Trump vs Sanity, we've lost some of our leverage in tying non-cray-cray people to Trump. This is true if they haven't implicitly endorsed him, and maybe especially if they've been hyper critical of him in the past. Demographically Rubio has some advantages, especially in South Florida.
I'd like to think we can do better, but we have to tie him to Trump hard.
Yes.
He wants to tariff commodities such as steel to the point where it makes American manufacturing viable.
That would likely have a cascading negative impact as many of our goods would be no longer competitive.

Damn. Also, Jill Stein is not going to get 3% of the vote in Florida, so, hooray.
Sucks about Murphy, but I think there were a host of factors that made that a tough race. I also think Rubio has the ability to uniquely distance himself from Trump in ways that maybe other candidates can't because he did run against him (even if he's endorsed him now). Also, nothing about Murphy is that compelling as a candidate or as a person.

Wow
its lit
Your rational holds so little water I'm not going to spend debunking the mountain of bullshit in that post. Just know you support a fascist racist asshole. When people in his party call him a sociopath, you know you fucked up.
That said - I don't want my disagreement to stop you from posting, I encourage you to stay and keep an open dialogue

Plus, Hillary will just have her pet Trump go after Rubio if the race is still tight.

Protip: you are definitely in a minority here, so expect a ton of replies to many of your posts (it's just that people are more likely to respond to a post they disagree with).
You don't have to answer to all of them, you'll burn yourself out. You don't even have to answer to any of them, it's not your job (though please, try to avoid enticing drive by posting with no follow up, that's a bit of a dick move).
But if you do decide to reply, don't pick the dumbest one just because it's easy, like, if 5 people explain in details why they think your tax plan is bad and one call you Hitler, I'd say ignore the dude with the Nazi hair trigger.

How can we reach out to her campaign to fucking come up with an answer. She needs an intervention. Maybe Cesare Borgia can help.

A motion has been placed upon the table to move the 2016 General Election to Tuesday. Pursuant to the rules of this convention, the chair reserves the right to suspend the requirement to second the motion and moves directly to a voice vote.
All those in favor say AYE
All opposed repeat the Constitution backwards, in Latin.
In the opinion of the chair, the AYES have it.
Motion is adopted.

If you really want to deport 11 million people you don't really care about the impacts. You just don't want them here.

So does Reince.
2 separate polls since there hasn't been a primary yet.

It's just a match up poll. Murphy and Grayson are battling it out in a dem primary.

holy crap Hillary up by 6 in Florida. So goes Florida, so goes the nation. Let's make it ten just to be sure.
Not that Trump's policies aren't incoherent but we sorta do that already. Here's one about aluminum that popped up on Bloomberg today.

I thought primaries for all states were finished by this point?
edit: wait, i just remembered Kansas had their primary this week. So I guess there's still some left.

Compared to Trump? Sure. Hell, if it were Trump vs Rubio I'd be knocking on doors for Lil' Marco.
Given nearly any other choice......naw. Naw mane.

WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING
My lowest bar is not making it look like nuclear war is a real possibility of their presidency.
Anyone who cannot pass that cannot get my vote
Since most candidates pass that, acknowledging the dire importance of addressing climate change might be my second lowest bar
always. what the hell are democrats doing down there.

There it is. The 25 second memorized speech.
I mean, I'm glad that something is getting you to not support a white nationalist, but it's a little bit of a bummer that it clearly wasn't the fact that he's a white nationalist.
"We need to deal with illegals" has always been code for stopping immigration entirely and for harassing and detaining people of color.
Arguing that Trump isn't racist now, because he said a bunch of racist stuff in the past and you can come up with explanations for why all the racist stuff he did recently isn't that racist, is basically demonstrating how desperate you are to find a way to justify support for a white nationalist.
I'm not surprised, because I know these people exist, but I'm not sympathetic. You should not vote for a white nationalist. If you do, you are okay with people of color having their rights abridged. If your post is genuine, you should consider that. I'm not sure it is.
That'll depend on if they can survive that long. Rubio might not make it back to the Senate and win or lose Trump is going to be gunning for Cruz's head.

To be fair....
He acknowledges climate change. Just, you know, that it was invented by the Chinese and is a hoax.

And I apologize in advance for it.
I does typings good sometime.
Sometimes I don't do typings no good.
It would be interesting to see who the base goes for in that circumstance.
