is Trump trying to lose?

Yes, I agree with you-- I was being sarcastic; there's no conspiracy. The emails released by Wikileaks simply showed that the Democrats viewed Trump, Cruz, & Carson as easier to beat in a general election than Kasich, Rubio, or Rand Paul. Not particularly scandalous or surprising. That said, between 2002 and 2009 Trump made 7 donations to Hillary's Senate or Presidential campaigns. The man has been a Democrat most of his life. Every other politician has to pass a purity test with Rush Limbaugh to prove he's not a RINO, but for some reason Trump is exempt from having to prove his conservative bona fides. |

I find both candidates contemptible. |

Maybe that's why he doesn't want to release his tax returns... Did he ever give any money to W. Bush, McCain, Romney or Obama?
Oh, but Trump has proven that far better than any other GOP candidate in decades. He's openly a bigot, is he not? What more could anyone want to know? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Accepting the premise that he is a bigot, he is proof that there are bigots in both parties since he has been a member of both and it does not appear his stripes have changed over the years. I know some think it convenient to think that all the "bad people" are in one party because it absolves one of any concern about your own favorite party...but it isn't true. There are "deplorables" on both sides, Hillary! |

A "both sides are bad" post from RonC? Shocking! But no. There are many more deplorables on the right. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Only people under the spell of their respective party or political leaning believe that either side is chock full of good people only. Of course, since Hillary put the term "deplorable" into play, I am sure you are technically correct...she defined "deplorables" so she got to decide who is "deplorable"...but that doesn't mean diddly squat in real life. You can keep living a life devoid of the reality of politics and our population and continue down the narrow little road of "They Republican, They Bad" type of thinking if you wish, but the total domination of our government by either party would be bad news. You'd have people like that fellow on the other board creating internment camps for anyone opposing their point of view. |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | Trump seems to have gone all Yoda on the campaign. "Lose or Lose not. There is no try." :) IMO on present rends, he's now trying to wreck the GOP Congress for the next term. Other races not being fully under his control (unfair!), he cannot guarantee a massive loss there. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I'm an atheist that believes in science Which political party is appropriate for me? I think the answer is easy I think its deplorable to push religion on me. I support gay marriage.

Some are arguing that a trap was set in the second debate as well: getting Trump to deny on camera that he had ever groped or sexually assaulted anyone. (Ben Shapiro's prediction at 8:40 Sunday night was eerily prescient.) I'm a bit skeptical that the Clinton team could have maneuvered so many moving parts-- the timing of the Access Hollywood leak, Anderson Cooper's aggressive questioning, embargoing a story at the New York Times, People magazine, and the Palm Beach Post simultaneously. That's a lot to coordinate. My guess is that the Clintons got lucky: Trump set his own trap. He is a creep, after all.
I will say this much: in retrospect Trump's decision to trot out Clinton's accusers from 30 years ago (Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones, etc.) backfired spectacularly. |

Yesterday on CNN some Trump flunky (campaign manager? whatever) kept trying to change he subject to something like "Hillary Clinton did this or that to women involved with her husband," as though that would help the Orange Man. What they don't see is what they're saying is something like "Hillary Clinton was pissed off at the women who slept with her husband and didn't treat them well." Shocker, isn't it, that a wife might despise the women her husband cheat on her with? What also fails is comparing a few concrete instances involving Clinton, with a general attitude of Trump's. I wonder if there is time for him to sue the NYT for defamation, and for the suit to be summarily dismissed before the election. Probably not. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
