Debate thread - Trump word salad

Original post made by Tanner, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on Sep 26, 2016

Drives me crazy - he speaks in Word Salads, jumping back and forth among topics.

Why am I missing? Reminds me of the way Palin articulates random thoughts.

By whose standards? Yours? The person who supports a candidate who didn't know what Aleppo was AND blew off climate change in a way that came off as beyond ridiculous?

Riiiiiiiiight.

It was Gary Johnson that didn't know what Aleppo was not trump, Get your facts straight.

We're 20 trillion dollars in debt, Isis or it's look alike are in 30 countries after they were called Junior Varsity,
N. Korea has declared war on us, and has Nuclear weapons, The e-mail scandal, Comey stated she lied 5 times to Congress and the FBI, The Benghazi disaster 4 dead and lied about it. Iran not living up to the agreement in any form. They attempted to rigg the the primary election against Bernie, and had to fire the whole staff,

and the best Holt could come up with is Birtherism, Tax Returns, and her looks,

This was a joke,

Oh look, yet another of the copy-and-paste brigade shows up.

So tell me chap, do you do any of your own thinking, or do you let others do it for you? Oh wait -- you're a Trump supporter, aren't you? Guess that answers the question right there...

Let's be realistic. Close to 0% of black voters are going to be voting for Trump in this election. Having a black moderator put Trump at a huge disadvantage since he could not speak to his base without insulting the moderator.

"Having a black moderator put Trump at a huge disadvantage since he could not speak to his base without insulting the moderator."

Ouch.

Well, that, and the federal discrimination lawsuits about not renting to blacks. And about a million other reasons.

You're right Les, but the polls are showing between 5-8%, black or Hispanic vote for Trump, I think that will go up.

Black or white Holt was biased in his questions.

I guess "Baked" might have been baked and can't answer a straight issue question.

"Black or white Holt was biased in his questions."

Oh, puhleeeeeze. Trump didn't study for his mid-term and it showed. Clinton is smart enough to make him look the fool. Had little to do with Holt, who rarely called Trump on his lies.

Example: "Donald thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. I think it's real.

TRUMP: I did not. I did not. I do not say that.

CLINTON: I think science is real.

TRUMP: I do not say that."

Yes, you did, Donald. You have since deleted the tweet, but you said it, and now you look like a complete idiot, trying to hide from a deleted tweet. Okay, a complete idiot with the world's largest egotistical combover.

"Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
11:15 AM - 6 Nov 2012"

Same goes for the birther racism from Trump and his lies about it, Trumps's lies about his initial support for invading Iraq, and so many more documented Trump lies.

And the last third of the debate where Trump ran out of gas and starting blathering about first strike, while Hillary stood up and talked directly to America's allies was astounding. Case closed.

Trump has no stamina. Stamina. Stamina. Yes, Donald, I repeated it three times like you did.

Trump provided lots of knowledge of his 'thinking' 'process' and laughs last night. Among the more interesting:

CLINTON: "And he called this woman "Miss Piggy." Then he called her "Miss Housekeeping," because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.

TRUMP: Where did you find this? Where did you find this?

CLINTON: Her name is Alicia Machado.

TRUMP: Where did you find this?"

Google "Alicia Machado" and click on images. Go ahead. If you haven't already.

"All I can say is watch the polls."

Indeed. And Trump said he wouldn't challenge the election, and would support President Clinton. Only time will tell if he is telling the truth.

Trump truth - a rare commodity, indeed.

Even Trump knows he lost badly - cuz the dog ate his homework.

No. What he said is worse - he said his mic was broken.

The next debate will be worse - all the criminal activities of the Trump Foundation will be exposed. Bad news.

Worse than Miss Piggy.

A staged event interviewing an aspiring actress. Crafted by the Clinton Machine.

"The World is burning and CNN spent all day talking about and interviewing "Miss Piggy""

Because TRUMP went on Fox and Friends in the morning and brought it up UNSOLICITED and railed about Alicia Machado and her weight!!!


TRUMP DID IT yesterday!

TRUMP brought it up unsolicited yesterday!

TRUMP extended the story.

TRUMP and his thin skin.

TRUMP and his inability to turn the other cheek.

TRUMP and his emotional rollercoaster.

TRUMP and his grandiosity and narcissism.

TRUMP brought it up unsolicited yesterday.

Look it up - the 3 Fox dweebs on their coach all hung their heads down when Trump BROUGHT IT UP! It was an amazing display of infantile behavior by Trump and Steve Doocy just hung his head.

"Be careful what you wish for."

Yes, be careful that an emotional trainwreck like Trump, who cannot control himself about the dumbest things, will get votes from enough idiots that somehow convince themselves that Trump is temperamentally qualified to lead America.

Amazing.

Mark Singer, working on a profile of Trump for The New Yorker in the 90's, concluded that Trump had managed to achieve something remarkable:

“an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul.”

Web Link

Yay.

The Republican Party has just made itself ineligible in future elections to talk about Family Values, Religion, Honesty and so many other topics they had hi-jacked in the past.

Guess that's a silver lining after all. Thank you, Mr. Trump.

If you can defeat the winner of the National Debate "Ted Cruz" along with 15 other seasoned politicians while being an outsider,
Why change your approach?

Obama threatens to cut off peace talks with Russia,

That ought to show Putin, Russia bombs UN relief convoys, Obama does nothing.

Main stream news spends time on "miss piggy" while the world burns.

How many bombs, and terrorist shootings in the last month, I'm losing track, Media ignores.

"Main stream news spends time on "miss piggy" while the world burns"

Again - it was TRUMP that called in to Fox and Friends the very next morning and attacked the beauty contestant - unprompted by the Fox couch sitters.

TRUMP brought it back to the attention of your so-called "Main stream news".

Why does Trump go back to bashing a beauty contestant instead of talking substance? Trump had to do something to distract from his utter failure in the last 1/3 of the debate where he rambled about nukes, first strike and American alliances. He was incoherent and incapable of speaking in complete sentences.

He was so bad that Clinton had to use her time to speak directly to America's allies and reassure them that the lunatic next to her will not be elected.

Trump will never use the word Stamina in a debate again. Clinton blistered him.

How many women did Hilliary attack that accused her husband of attacking or having affairs with.


Does Monica Lewinski come to mind. Hilliary went after her. Called her a liar and a bimbo.


I'm Curios how women feel about Hilliary's role and if they want her as their president.

Are you willing to compromise your moral beliefs. If so that's fine.

Uh, chuckles -- you're going *there*?

Remember: Trumpster cheated on wife #1 with the future wife #2. And then, he cheated of wife #2 with the future wife #3.

At this rate, he's probably cheating on wife #3 with the future wife #4.

"which polls?"

I don't know which ones he is looking at but they fall into two categories:

- the online, stuff the ballot brigade polls that trump "won"
NPR: "They're essentially unscientific Internet popularity contests, are not weighted as to what the electorate will actually look like, and have no predictive value. In fact, if you're worried about voter fraud, in many of these surveys people can vote multiple times and they can easily be rigged by Internet bots."

- reputable polls, which a simple search will accurately show the Clinton demolition of Trump

...............

NBC: "Twenty-seven percent of likely women voters said the debate made them think worse of Trump. Meanwhile, nearly a third, or 30 percent, said their opinion of Clinton had improved, compared to 22 percent of men. Women were also far likelier to say Clinton won the debate, by a 10-point margin over men."

"Overall, the poll found that a majority of likely voters (52 percent) who either watched the debate or said they followed debate coverage in the news said Hillary Clinton won. Twenty-one percent thought Trump won, and 26 percent said neither had."

...............

CNN: "Hillary Clinton was deemed the winner of Monday night's debate by 62% of voters who tuned in to watch, while just 27% said they thought Donald Trump had the better night, according to a CNN/ORC Poll of voters who watched the debate."

...............

So: Clinton 52-26 and 62-27.

Or: just as it looked to most people - Trump proved he isn't ready for prime time, other than as a game show host.

Trump went off the rails again this weekend once the report of his not paying income taxes and the $900 million dollar loss.

Accused his opponent of cheating on her husband of 30 years


Said the three time vow breaker and public adulterer. Is he that simple minded that he does not have the ability to remember his own divorces?
