http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/28/donald-trump-suffers-his-largest-drop-in-polls-after-week-of-controversy
Mocking the disabled doesn't fly with even the most staunch conservatives.
Was bound to happen eventually. The guy is a protest candidate. He's not really cut out for politics, and he doesn't really understand the issues or the policies his underlings have written for him.
I freely admit that Trump was badly needed by Republicans as a way to break up the completely dysfunctional establishment, but as an actual candidate he leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to see Cruz pick up a lot of the support that Trump is losing. He's another anti-establishment candidate, but he's a much much stronger contender when it comes to actual policies and political savvy.
It's rather humorous that you mention he has had a 'drop' in polls but is still far, far in the lead.

He never did that. He just mocked an evasive reporter for not owning up to the article he himself wrote.
All he did was flail his arms a little when making fun of him, it's the media that grabbed a still image of his arm in the retard position to imply that Trump was making fun of him for being a cripple.
Supposedly Trump "should have known better" because he met the guy in 1989. So if you can't remember everyone you meet after 20+ years then you're a bigot. ( ´_ゝ`)

All it takes is a quick google search of a reporter the night before to check if there's any leverage to discredit them, you don't have to meet someone to know they're currently disabled.
In any case, the whole movement Trump performed did not resemble "grovelling" in the slightest.

>>292
The poll dropping story is a sensationalist headline
They said the word "polls" when they meant to say "a single Reuters/Ipsos poll" and also failed to mention that besides Carson nobody else in that poll was above double digits and Trump dropped from 43% in that poll (which is way above average for aggregate polling for Trump) down to 31% which is twice the amount of 2nd place. Most people just read the headline and didn't actually check the poll results.
This also isn't going to sink him if you have been following his campaign. He has gotten away with much worse.
>>385
i don't like the guardian either, but they do report news. they're no worse than other national papers, catering to their targeted age group.
>>443
If I was Donald Trump I wouldn't be google searching reporters when I don't need to. The only issue at hand was the article he wrote, that he tried to walk back despite having it archived with his name on it, for no real reason, and Trump treated him like the moron he is.
Trump just waved his arms around to emphasize the reporter's struggling to explain away his own writing. It's a joke parading itself as news.
>>871
so how about a better question. Is trump realistically going to win the republican nomination? and if so, why? there's no shortage of terrible stories about him, many of them he doesn't discount.
>>902
This election is about 3 things: Immigration, the economy, and national security, and it just so happens that the 3 issues are intimately intertwined.
Who do people trust the most with these issues? Trump, Trump, and Trump. Who do voters expect to become the nominee? Trump. Who can realistically drub Hillary? Trump. Who stands to gain the most from the rest of the world melting down? Trump.
At this point, you need better reasoning for electing someone else aside from "He isn't Trump", to beat Trump, and nobody has what it takes.
>>909
In the eyes of republicans, I guess. But ultimately, a vote for the president will come down to the undecided voters on the fringe of either right or left sided politics. and will they agree with trumps values?
And actually, it comes down to the electoral college. And I have no legit clue how that shit works, but I'm pretty sure it's all fucked. Doesn't Sanders want to change that election system?
And Trump's policies on Immigration, the Economy and National Security are all pretty gross - well actually, his economic policies are sort of just confusing and all over the place.
I don't think voters actually know a lot about that shit though. I think they recognize trump.
>>902
>so how about a better question. Is trump realistically going to win the republican nomination? and if so, why? there's no shortage of terrible stories about him, many of them he doesn't discount.
If by realistic you mean a non-zero chance at the republican nomination then yeah he has a chance that is greater than most of the competition he is up against.
Serious pundits and political commentators have been wrong about their assertions earlier in the primary where they expected Trump to flame out in months but he has been the frontrunner for five months now.
>>940
hmm, if he were given the nomination could they actually elect him president? this all just seems so wacky and far fetched. i don't think i could live in america if donald trump was president.
>>950

>>962

you're right though. many americans are stuck where they are. we're all stuck in a world we didn't sign up for, with laws and social and cultural rules that we never agreed to. it's pretty fucked up tbh.
>>923
Well, if you're talking about the general, then Trump has a great chance at ruining both Hillary and the Democrats-at-large, because the Dems have cast aside their traditional base of blue collar workers in favor of gays, hysterical women, and welfare queens.
Trump is wildly popular with that base, because he actually has competence in the field of business, and his whole deal is helping the American worker by bringing back jobs and kicking out the surplus labor, which will bring back opportunity and proper wages. Hillary has literally nothing to offer these people aside from empty promises, and even if you're not wild about Trump, you stand a hell of a lot better of a chance under him than Hillary, who would sell you for parts if it put a few bucks in her pocket.
>>310
And this alone is going to have these people completely discredit Trump? All his opinions and propositions invalid, because of a social problem like mocking a disabled person? This is the type of cherrypicking that needs to stay out of politics. I'm tired of voters who will completely denounce a candidate based on one controversial issue, as if that is the top priority.
Ask an offended person how he feels about Trump mocking that one disabled journalist. Ask them why they shouldn't vote for Trump based on that. They'll be able to tell you why it hurts their taint so much that Trump did it, but they won't give you a good explanation as to how that should convince people not to vote for Trump. Not unless they literally believe Trump will enact euthanasia or some discrimination policies against the disabled. Then you'd have to ask them to explain how they came to that conclusion based on him mocking someone during a speech. Speechless.

>>1145

>>292
lol
>>1145
>doesn't view all human beings as equally worthy of his respect
But that's not true at all. He respects human beings. The consensus is that he's a bigot who's against Mexicans. Why? Because he's against illegal immigrants and states that he'd rather than come through legally. He's also "against the disabled", solely based on him mocking a journalist.
Maybe you can explain it to me, but I don't understand how anyone can truly believe Trump doesn't care about human beings just based off of headlines taken out of context and his demeanor. Being blunt and straight-to-the-point an asshole does not make.
>>1162
But this is wrong. Dead fucking wrong. Citizens don't need to earn the respect of the president they elected.
>>1166
I would argue that Trump is actually one of the most caring people currently running for President, as he actually has actions to back up all his words. Guys like Bernie Sanders are nice and all, but their concept of basic humanity and respect is to force other people to do it, while Trump himself was out there hiring anyone who met his standard and treating people like human beings who could be better than they are for decades.
He's a gruff guy who's got a mouth, but he's a kind person, he just isn't a "nice guy". You can genuinely care about people until the cows come home, but until you put your money where your mouth is, then it's all just talk.
>>1166
Well, we could look at his blatant dehumanization of anyone not white, his immature, mocking demeanor of a journalist. We could mention the black protester at one of his rallies who, when beaten by the crowd, Trump cheered. Or how about the many individuals he's used lobbyists and economic loopholes to outright steal their land. Oh and he's a womanizer and a sexist. It's no wonder the republican population loves him.
>>1187
I want sources for this.
>dehumanization of anyone not white
I haven't seen that. I did mention that he's against immigrants and wants to monitor Syrian refugees (no, not "all muslims"). That's not dehumanization.
>his immature, mocking demeanor of a journalist
What's wrong with mocking journalists?
>mention the black protester
He doesn't like heckling. Would you rather him feel sorry for the guy heckling his speech and refusing to leave? This isn't abuse by any means.
I want sources or at least an explanation for what you're saying (I'm not expecting you to dig up sources for everything you say).

It was a black lives matter protester who was physically assaulted for voicing his free speech. Trump's disposition on the assault leads me to believe he is neither a sincere or responsible man who I want to run this country.

>>1221
>It's been widely compared to how nazis had cataloged the jews before the holocaust
He's not registering all Muslims, so no that's not a fair comparison. Those refugees aren't American citizens to begin with. The question is why we SHOULDN'T keep a list of them. Records in Syria aren't exactly in good standing order.
>for being disabled
The flailing hand thing was about the extent of that. What he was saying while doing it had nothing to do with a disability.
>who was physically assaulted for voicing his free speech
This isn't a public forum. Heckling over there doesn't fall under the first amendment, and refusing to leave gets the same response you'd get anywhere. The guy had to be forcefully removed. Do I feel sorry for him? Of course, and not all candidates respond this way, but there's nothing wrong with Trump for doing this. It doesn't mean he's dishonest, else he'd have to listen to every single person who comes his way just to prove that he's not. What extent of responsibility are you holding Trump for, by the way? After all, he was on stage and the ones "beating" the man was not. They're not his puppets.
Meme candidate... this is tabloid news.
>>1230
>He's not registering all Muslims, so no that's not a fair comparison.
Registering anyone doesn't exactly scream "small government republican".It's terrifying and authoritarian. They're refugees but that doesn't make them not human. There's this extremely xenophobic, dehumanized perspective coming from Trump and the GOP in general regarding these refugees, and all immigrants. America is a country of immigrants, and our immigration policy is a hypocritical misrepresentation of the country already.
>The flailing hand thing was about the extent of that.
You make it sound as if he wasn't mocking him for having a disability. Do you care?
>This isn't a public forum. Heckling over there doesn't fall under the first amendment
Heckling does fall under the first amendment, and even if it didn't, violence is the incorrect response. Trump's response to an action that happened at his rally isn't representative of a mature, open minded, or caring individual, and I don't trust him to run America.
>>1233
>America has become a living breathing meme
I don't even know anymore.
>>1227
Alright.
1) His plan for refugees is 100% correct because these people are not only potential security risks, but not Americans, so it's the responsibility of the admitting agency, the government, to keep track of them within our borders to safeguard actual Americans, and also nobody likes or wants refugees right now.
2) He was mocking some homo for trying to backtrack on an article he himself wrote that proved a point Trump wanted to make. It has nothing to do with him being a cripple, and everything to do with him being a jackass.
3) Black people don't get a free pass for being cunts, and after the 6 gorillionth time of interrupting his speeches with more crybaby bullshit about things they can barely comprehend as they waste the time of everyone in the room, patience is lost. The guy has a right to protest, but he also has the right to be forceably removed from private property and go protest on public property. Oh boo hoo, someone ALLEGEDLY called him a mean name and hit him, which by the way none of which is shown on any sort of video evidence, guess it's time to hold Trump accountable for the people in the audience treating a 300lb man roughly.
Again, >>>/r/eddit
>>1236
A small government Republican wouldn't be admitting refugees at all, so congrats, you'll get your wish when Trump is in office as we get 0 refugees :^)

>>1238
>and also nobody likes or wants refugees right now.
and this is a problem with US, not with THEM. Americans are xenophobic bigots and frankly, you all kind of disgust me and make me ashamed to have been born here. These refugees are people who need help, and you're all too afraid of a couple angry dudes with knives and black scarves to do the right thing. Cowardly and selfish.
The reporter thing is a sign of Trump's maturity and his ability to lead a country. He legitimately does not care about people.
Black people, and anyone, shouldn't be assaulted for using their free speech in a public space. And yet again, Donald Trump's attitude and reaction is poor.
>>1236
He was mocking him for being an idiot that played dumb about an article he himself wrote.
>Mr. Trump, you are wrong and mean about saying that Muslims cheered over 9/11
>Hi, you're great, America is great, here's an article you wrote that says what I'm saying is 2000% true. D-g bless, we're gonna make it great again
>B-b-b-b-but that's not what I meant! When I said they were cheering I mean they were cheering about how unhappy they were over 9/11!
>>292
When his whole political platform consist of blaming minorities for America's problems then it's only a matter of time for him to drop points and eventually lost the run. Populism doesn't work well, especially with educated white americans.
>>1247
It's more like a massive security risk. My family immigrated legally to the US and had to spend considerable amount of time and money to become legalized citizens. These refugees and illegals from central and south America have no papers, no immunizations, and no references. Why should we let them in?

I think Trump is trustworthy, which is a really hard thing to nail down, but the best way to judge someone's character is by their children, and Trump seems like he has really great kids, and a really great family.
So yeah, there's a lot of things you can not like about Trump, but I don't think an untrustworthy guy could raise the family that he did, so if you're going to dislike him, then at least pick from the other laundry list of reasons to do so.
Honestly though, the way I think of it is that his endeavors as a person can be reflected in the manner that he raised his children, and build his business, and if he can impart those qualities unto the office of the President of the United States, then I think the country would benefit from it massively, and at any rate, a gorillion times more than the inevitable disaster of a Hillary administration.

Then he'll lose steam after that.
>>1236
Registering people doesn't dehumanize them. You may be able to convince me they are if you actually think this through and explain why you feel that way. It's about as "xenophobic" as any immigration policy from that standpoint. America is a country of immigrants but it doesn't mean we should accept illegal immigration with open arms. America has developed to a point where we can't be blindingly taking people in left and right.
>You make it sound as if he wasn't mocking him for having a disability.
If I was, I wouldn't be mentioning the flailing hand thing.. the content of that segment of his "speech" wasn't about the journalist's disability. Just the hand motion. While that is mocking the disability, it wasn't the point. If the journalist was fat, I'm sure he would add a quip about that. When did we become such babies in regards to this kind of stuff? True oppression is the greatest concern with disabled people.

>Trump's maturity and his ability to lead a country
It demonstrated nothing about his ability to lead a country, and you're coming across as very egotistical to think you can question Trump's maturity in this. He's demonstrated how much of a grown man he is throughout his entire life, there's no reason to be petty.

>>1591
>but the best way to judge someone's character is by their children, and Trump seems like he has really great kids, and a really great family.
Given that most candidates have displayed themselves as having a great, close, and happy family, this isn't exactly a good way to judge candidates. At least try and take politics seriously, please. This is about as good as judging them based on their haircut.
Besides, most candidates actively work to show themselves as a family man.
>>1681
Family is a reflection of morals, values, and character, which is in turn a reflection on politics as said values shape the way you handle relations and issues.
And no, the kids you spend decades raising isn't comparable to a 20 minute haircut. Your children are a direct reflection of the type of person you are, and while no it isn't the end-all-be-all of political nature, it gives weight to the gravity of what you're speaking and how serious you may or may not be about the issues you claim to care about, as you can blow and bend with the various political winds, but your kids are a forever piece of your legacy, and that's super duper important.

Most people are fundamentally good, it's just that this goodness is fragmented because communities as we've known them for tens of thousands of years don't exist anymore, so people don't associate as closely with each other as they would have even just 40 years ago.
Also, the people that tend to get into power are the people that directly seek out power, and most people that desire to rule do so out of just the simple urge to control people and sit at the top.
This is why I like Trump, because he seems like the kind of guy who'd be reluctant to run for President and grasp for the power that comes with it, because he publicly grappled with the idea of running since the 80's, but only do so if the country really needed him like it does now, whereas someone like Hillary just needs to be in charge no matter what, because she's psychotic.

>Was bound to happen eventually. The guy is a protest candidate. He's not really cut out for politics, and he doesn't really understand the issues or the policies his underlings have written for him.
So don't the people voting for him. What is the % of people who actually vote in the US? I seem to remember hearing it's fairly low, so the less people vote or care about politics and voting the more of a impact can a joke candidate like Trump make

On the contrary, I think a lot of Trump's supporters are unlikely to even show up to vote. They enjoy Trump's antics but when it comes to actually going to a polling place (especially for a primary) there's no way Trump supporters will mobilize.

I'd tell you it's the current year but I think you know that
This is stupid because if you watched the video you can tell he isn't mocking the disabled guy.

Sorta, but they liked him because he was against amnesty mainly, and basically embodied the anger of the base towards not just their party, but the government.
It wasn't just like a "We hate Bush", mentality, but more of a "What fucking planet are you on to think we'd ever want Jeb Bush". So Trump isn't an answer to Bush, but an answer to the establishment that tries to play kingmaker as they lie and pander to their base.

No anon, you're wrong because here's my analysis of what Trump said and did: "Trump BTFO handifucks!: "No more easy street for cripples", implies Trump""
Now go watch the video, understanding that Donald once met this reporter in 1989, which proves conclusively that he knew he was a broken human being, as I scream at the top of my lungs how ableist and insensitive Trump is. Also if you don't agree with me you're an idiot.

Isn't Cruz a religious nut? The GOP needs to get away from that kind of person, saying that someone isn't fit to be President unless they start every morning praying to the Christian God is not going to win the support of most Americans. That position gets less and less popular with every election and yet Republicans stubbornly stick to it.
>Trump goes up yet again
TRUMP BTFO
