[i]Donald Trump makes a campaign appearance at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, Virginia on Tuesday.[/i]
[quote]Donald Trump has insisted all is well with his campaign even as Republicans grow increasingly worried about a candidate who seems to have gone permanently off-track.
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus is reportedly among a handful of high-profile Republicans considering whether to confront Trump about his approach to his presidential campaign.
“There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before,” the Republican candidate tweeted on Wednesday.
But in recent days, as Trump has continued to pursue a feud with the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed in combat in Iraq, pointedly refused to endorse Republican House speaker Paul Ryan and 2008 GOP nominee John McCain in their primary elections and suggested that November’s election would be rigged, his conduct has led to a number of reports that top Republicans may be attempting an intervention and that top Trump campaign staffers have been “frustrated”, “suicidal” and now “mailing it in”.
The Trump campaign aggressively pushed back against the reports, with spokesman Jason Miller boasting on Tuesday night: “Our campaign just finished our strongest month of fundraising to date, we’re adding talented and experienced staffers on a daily basis and Mr Trump is turning out bigger, more enthusiastic crowds than Hillary Clinton ever could.”
However, campaign chair Paul Manafort struck a slightly more resigned note in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, saying: “I’m in control of the things that the candidate wants me to control.”[/quote]

Got the right subforum now, eh? :v:
I appreciate the title joke, but it doesn't really sound right.

ah yes, it's clearly a circle jerk when pro trump voters post trump news to show how much they love the guy and then someone else posts a anti trump piece
but no
you're totally right
we're all of one opinion, we're all fucking sheep, no one thinks for themselves, you're oh so right.

First page of the SH, ctrl+f for "Trump". 15 matches, 14 of which are separate threads on how Trump is worse than Hitler because of X reason.
Please show me these posts where people are showing that they "love the guy."

The only two threads on Clinton are ones where Trump is mentioned in a negative fashion. You must really be blind to miss the bias here.
Well, I'd consider this a special case because the majority of FP hates Clinton as well. Most of us are just of the opinion that Trump is infinitely worse, for reasons that it doesn't take any sort of liberal bias to acknowledge.
I've been on Facepunch for ten years, and if anything, I'd say this forum is center-right in a lot of ways, more so today than it ever has been. They so dislike Trump because the guy's a straight-up fascist.

I see massive rhetoric and "oh you must be a nazi" or "he's a fascist." I have yet to see anyone post facts or unbiased sources (to be fair, I don't spend all of my free time here), just the same circle-jerk comments to ensure they get the maximum amount of good noodle stars.
There is FAR worst things going on with Clinton and I have yet to see those articles posted here.

Then you're clearly not paying enough attention. Clinton gets slammed whenever new information about her comes to light, and people generally agree with it. As for 'rhetoric', I've seen more factual information, with links to actual quotes from the guy, posted about Trump than rhetoric. The rest is people simply referring to the commonly known information, verifiable in seconds, that the guy wants to impose limits according to his morals and ego on American freedoms, wants to create an apartheid state by making Muslims second-class citizens who are barred from certain jobs, wants to default on national debt, and wants to start a new nuclear arms race.

Hmm gee no bias at all? I guess "any normal person" can only be classified as someone who agrees with everything you think?

To be honest, I am surprised how many of those articles claim unnamed sources or ''insiders''. The way this is going, I wouldn't be surprised to see an article from those sites soon wherein they claim that Trump punts Chihuahuas out of his penthouse windows or something as equally ridiculous.
Sure, I don't agree with everything Trump says, but still, I really have my doubts on most stories that go full ''rumor has it'' mode at the start. Especially since the past few years showed that unbiased media is a term that is rapidly fading away from modern journalism.

Oh, so now I must not have done research to not equate someone with another person who killed millions of people. The irony here is bolded.

Do you understand why people make that comparison? This isn't just godwin's law. Donald, like Adolf, is a man who is attempting to rise to power on a platform of singling out minority scapegoats and trying to blame them for the country's problems. He's a good speaker, a good showman, but offers no real solutions to the country's issues, just rhetoric. His ideas are in fact incredibly dangerous. The parallels should be obvious to anyone who has had the most basic education in world history.

I have literally never called him hitler so your pithy assertion that I have compared the two in an attempt at irony is pathetic.

Show me sources showing that
(1) Clinton wants to drag us into more worthless money-sink conflicts, involving [b]nuclear weapons[/b]
(2) Clinton has suggested abandoning NATO allies in eastern Europe or the Balkans at the instant they need our support the most
(3) Clinton has publicly railed against the Geneva Conventions because not slaughtering the families of suspected terrorists is hamstringing our American might
(4) Clinton has repeatedly lied to her supporters, and responded to each controversy by making ever-more-outrageous claims
(5) Clinton has publicly pledged to destroy parts of the federal government that she doesn't like (the EPA)
(6) the President himself has declared Clinton unfit for office
(7) world leaders have declared Clinton a repulsive person unfit for office
(8) and so on...
Then you might have a credible argument.
Until then, Trump remains orders of magnitude worse than Clinton.

Don't lecture me on history, it's obviously the other way around. You don't understand history well enough if you think that's a solid comparison.
Also if you're really saying that Trump hasn't actually detailed any plans, then don't bother arguing with me because I'm not going to do your research for you. He has outlined plenty of plans and proposals, you're too busy jumping on the bandwagon to actually go do some thinking for yourself.

You said "NOBODY SAID HE IS HITLER", not "I SAID HE IS HITLER." So, nowhere have I asserted this. Good try though buddy.

A simple "Trump Outlines Plan" search in Google will show you how silly your statement is.

I've read the Republican platform. It's populist garbage, and is extremely unlikely to help the common man in any way whatsoever.

See? Anyone can pretend they know what they're talking about without explaining their opinion beyond popular rhetoric. But your bellyfeel is doubleplus good, anything that isn't leftist is obviously crimethink.

The irony is staggering. See, in this conversation I've given you several reasons it's a bad idea to support Trump. You've not given me a single argument contradicting my points. Nor have you said anything beyond "There are FAR worst (sic) things going on with Clinton".
Prove it. Prove you Trump supporters are more rational than your average cult and lend your words some real merit. You don't win arguments through melodramatic literary references, after all.
