RNC vs DNC: More People Watched Trump's Speech Than Hillary's, but more DNC views than RNC views - Polidicks

[QUOTE=CroGamer002;50801129]Ah so one of those Trump's populist rethorics you chose to cherry pick as a real policy Trump will fight for?[/QUOTE] "trump doesnt care about the troops" "but he said he cares about the troops." that was their counter argument and your response is just "nah thats cherry picked" like [b]what[/b], dude? and what do you suppose is a "real policy" any of our presidential candidates will fight for? 50% of everything a presidential candidate promises will never, ever happen. everyone, literally everyone, says shit thatll get them the vote and never act on it.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;50801160]"trump doesnt care about the troops" "but he said he cares about the troops." that was their counter argument and your response is just "nah thats cherry picked" like [b]what[/b], dude? [/QUOTE] Trump supporters, and I mean all of them, often deflect criticism against Trump by saying he simply said an empty rhetoric. But when he says something positive, even when outright contradicting his past or future statements, it's his real policy! He never flip flops, just gives empty rhetoric when it sounds bad.

[QUOTE=CroGamer002;50801193]Trump supporters, and I mean all of them,[/URL][/QUOTE] oh ok so a straw man [quote]Complete nonsense, 2/3 of of US president election promises are kept true on average![/quote] ok that's actually interesting to know, thank you for the correction.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;50801204]oh ok so a straw man [/QUOTE] It's not a straw man when it's true. Trump supporters only respond in arguments with cherry picking Trump's statements, trying to spin the discussion against Hillary to not answer criticism against Trump, hide behind memes or propaganda.

Can people just drop this 'us vs them' mentality and make pertinent replies instead?

[QUOTE=wystan;50801117]Trump is anti-military? ok He is the only candidate who even bothered mentioning how terrible our veteran are treated, it was one of the first things he mentioned in his campaign, next to the wall.[/QUOTE] Literally every candidate says they will be good for veterans.

[QUOTE=benwaddi;50800357]You have a bad memory. Now HumanAbyss is all for a Hillary presidency because everything has to be overblown and world ending if its not on his side. Chicken Little syndrome to a tee and the perfect example of the "new" average voter, they think they are informed and impartial but fall into the same pitfalls time and time and time again.[/QUOTE] Yeah i said that months back before I changed my mind. oh i can't change my mind?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50801497]Yeah i said that months back before I changed my mind. oh i can't change my mind?[/QUOTE] Of course you can change your mind but you do tend to get a bit melodramatic. After softening on Hillary didn't you think that you maybe treated her unfairly based on selective info and the bias of those around you? Instead of getting all worked up about it because someone is the designated bad guy use that passion to look into the facts and not spit as much vitriol, I know you are frustrated by Trump supporters but they don't deserve to be spoken to like dogs.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;50801237]Can people just drop this 'us vs them' mentality and make pertinent replies instead?[/QUOTE] Can people reply to my pertinent replies instead of asking me to drop a mentality I don't have or just calling my posts "cringe". [QUOTE=Raidyr;50797988]I've yet to hear what exactly Clinton would do. All I'm told is not to vote for her because she is corrupt, and emails, and various conspiracy theories about assassinations and Saudi princes. What damage will she do as president? What policy of hers is bad? Like with Trump I can point to policy and say "This will hurt the economy" or "This will cause distrust amongst our allies" or "This won't solve the problem of climate change". Sometimes it's opinion based, like you can have an opinion on how much gun control is necessary and make the point that Clinton has argued too left on that subject, but what damage are people afraid she will do that makes them go for anyone but her?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=wystan;50801117]Trump is anti-military? ok He is the only candidate who even bothered mentioning how terrible our veteran are treated, it was one of the first things he mentioned in his campaign, next to the wall.[/QUOTE] He's also the only candidate to insult veterans for getting captured.

Did people get confused on what the poll was asking orr?

I think my favourite thing about watching these trump speeches, RNC vs DNC, the whole Hillary scandal is watching Pvt Martin know nothing about whats going on and only knowing who Hillary is, to becoming a Bernie supporter to suddenly going for Trump because he read his twitter. I can't wait for November

the most depressing thing is that the shitbirds on here who will vote for trump (either because they are salty bernie lost or because they like epic memes) will probably be seriously regretting their choice six months down the line they will only have themselves to blame as the country slides towards becoming an economic basket case and laughing stock of the world.

Absolute worst case scenario is Trump wins and I get to rub it in Martins face when he doesn't have a job and BILLYMAYS when Trump cuts nuclear subsidies.

I genuinely believe he's going to default on US debt which just spells global disaster

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50800776][media]https://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status/759200443666923520[/media] This stupid bullshit would normally literally kill a campaign, but Trumpets care so little about what this man says and does, whilst simultaneously tearing over Hillary Clinton's every last action and word, that it won't make a difference. [B]Trump is a disgrace to America[/B]. And, as I already [URL="https://laeffyblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/30/where-trump-and-corbyn-meet/"]said[/URL] (an extended version of my original post on my blog), Trump is absolutely not a patriot.[/QUOTE] [I]Trump[/I] is a disgrace to America? Nah Trump alone ain't shit, it's the people rallying behind him that are the true disgrace

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;50802825][I]Trump[/I] is a disgrace to America? Nah Trump alone ain't shit, it's the people rallying behind him that are the true disgrace[/QUOTE] A lot of these people have been duped. I feel bad for people like Pvt. Martin who have put their hopes into a fraud. When I see him post, he's naive, but not malicious. I think this applies to a lot of Trump supporters. But maybe I'm too optimistic.

[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;50801683]Did people get confused on what the poll was asking orr?[/QUOTE] Well the DNC did certainly have more consistent drama in it in protests, leaks, The confirmation of candidates to choose in November, and is still fresh in minds. The RNC had more spurts of the moments such as in Melania's speech writers plagiarizing and Cruz's statement.

The first post-DNC poll is out, and shows Clinton with a massive 15-point lead over Trump [url]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/30/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-post-convention-poll[/url] We'll need more polls to see the true extent of any convention bump for Clinton though, and in any case it's expected to fade over the coming weeks as polls revert to normal. That's bad news for Trump though, cus he really needs a net positive outcome from the conventions

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50802970]If you are working/middle class and support trump you are either naive or financially suicidal or racist/homophobic/sexist/all those titles[/QUOTE] the lower class that vote for trump are the ones that think they're supposed to be millionaires but they're pushed down by the government they're going to be surprised when they're gonna be paying for the tariffs that trump puts on businesses and the only jobs they're gonna get are either shitty starving wage jobs or none at all worst thing is, a trump presidency will affect my business badly, i'll be forced to lay off workers just because people want outdated jobs back

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50802689]I genuinely believe he's going to default on US debt which just spells global disaster[/QUOTE] I think people forget just how catastrophic the U.S. government defaulting on its debt would be. The 2008-2009 recession was entirely a result of people realizing that one form of investment that most considered stable, was actually quite volatile. But that still pales before the magnitude of something like the U.S. government defaulting on its debt would. U.S. bonds are the rock on which any long-term investments are made,. Anyone with a 401k or other professionally managed investment portfolio inevitably has a large amount of bonds, since you need certain amount of your portfolio to safe from any possible recession. But if the government were to default on its debt, the largest, most stable investment in the entire global economy is suddenly proven to be unstable and volatile. A full economic meltdown is practically guaranteed at that point, which would make the 2008-2009 recession look peachy by comparison.

[video]https://youtu.be/gPEusyLYzjo[/video] preview of trump vs clinton except he won't be able to bullshit his way to the one minute and thirty seconds limit hes like that freshman kid writing his five page essay for the first time so he stretches three small points to five pages with fluff, saying the same thing over and over to fool the professor
