[url]http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/31/politics/trump-elevator-rescue/[/url] [quote]Donald Trump and members of his Secret Service detail were briefly trapped in an elevator Friday before a campaign rally in Colorado Springs. They were rescued by firefighters with the Colorado Springs Fire Department, which lowered a ladder into the elevator, allowing Trump and his entourage to climb out. Trump eventually took the stage at the rally, where he opened his remarks by blasting the local fire marshal for shutting off entry to his campaign event due to capacity restrictions. "This is why our country doesn't work," Trump said as he slammed the Colorado Springs fire marshal during the rally, moments after the department's firefighters rescued him. The paper reported that Trump said the fire marshal "didn't know what he was doing and 'was probably a Democrat.' " Fire marshal Brett Lacey told a local TV station that organizers handed out too many tickets and the venue couldn't accommodate all of the people who wanted to attend.[/quote] The fire marshal does his job limiting a small number of attendants from being in Trump's thousands-large audience to keep in line with safety code, and our Law And Order candidate accuses him of being a Dirty Democrat.
Should have just left him in the Elevator.

How can you be a bigger piece of shit? Did he spit on them getting out of the elevator?
Next time the firemen should just allow the place to get overcrowded I won't shed a tear if a fire breaks out
[QUOTE=Bobie;50806359]isn't the polls plus forecast 60 - 40 right now in favour of hillary? am i missing something?[/QUOTE] He picked the polls-only forecast, either because he doesn't understand how 538's model works, or he wanted to cherry-pick the worst-looking results (polls-plus is 60/40, the now-cast is 57/43).

There's no way you could spin this into something positive For some of Trump's other statements, I can see the logic, no matter how far out it is, in the mental gymnastics people to do justify them. But this is pretty black and white, it's just a scummy thing to say no matter what
No man, you don't get it. It's all part of Trump's genius game of 4D Chess.
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;50806369]Great, so the future of America rests on a coin flip from the razor's edge. Can't wait for the upswing in racism, xenophobia, and bigotry if Trump comes to power.[/QUOTE] Apparently one of my friends has minority friends who are planning on arming themselves and forming minority militias if Trump wins. I'm already armed, but I wouldn't want to be beholden to a group like that so I wasn't planning on joining up. I don't know the amount of retaliatory violence against racist attacks there was in the UK following Brexit, but I'm expecting a larger amount of violence in the US.

But this is pretty black and white, it's just a scummy thing to say no matter what[/QUOTE] By doing what Trump supporters typically do - only listen to half of the story which somehow frames this as a positive, make your decision to support Trump even more 'cause he tells it like it is, then ignore anyone who tries to tell you the whole truth by (1) "them librul medias attackin our trump" or (2) "it's not like that, he actually..." Much like the moon landing/UFO conspiracy theorists posting the same 40-year-old pictures of "double shadows", "where are the stars", and "that rock with a 'C' on it" that've been debunked every time (and ignored by the conspiracy theorists each time, too), they've already decided what they're going to believe, and they will discount, disregard or flat-out ignore anything that contradicts them Trump could piss on an American flag at the RNC and they'd still say "yeah but he's just... it's not what you think... it represents C-Crooked Hillary..." because they've already [i]decided[/i] that he's this godlike savior here to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and if they can't twist any contrary evidence so that it makes Trump look better in their minds, they'll simply not hear or see it

I think it's worth nothing that he was criticizing the upper management of the Fire Department and not the firemen themselves who saved him, yea it's semantics but it matters. I'm not going to try and say it was some super deep political maneuver but he wasn't talking shit about firemen in general.
man, trump's an asshole

people actually vote for this guy unironically?
God, I hate how he consistently keeps trying to look like some big, tough guy. He's an overweight seventy-year-old with a toupee, for fuck's sake. He'd be a lot better of a candidate if he showed some humbleness every once in awhile, rather than the stubbornness that he currently has.
