[QUOTE=Spastik2D;49619329]"...because that would be politically incorrect" Pretty obvious he would call her a bimbo, he just didn't so he could slip in a political correctness jab that his supporters would lap up.[/QUOTE] He DID call her a bimbo, he just did it in a way so that people who are complete idiots (his supporters) can claim he didn't.
[QUOTE=BazzBerry;49617369]His latest tweet: I swear he is 12 years old[/QUOTE] He ain't prez material but he's standup material
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;49619341]He DID call her a bimbo, he just did it in a way so that people who are complete idiots (his supporters) can claim he didn't.[/QUOTE] Even if he didn't, he's slinging mud at the speed of light like the madman he is and his supporters are going to defend him until their faces turn blue for god fucking knows why.

[QUOTE=smurfy;49615212]Gonna be interesting to see a debate without him[/QUOTE] no it absolutely will not
I don't see the problem with Trump, when did Facepunch become comically leftist? It's like a parody whenever I see political threads, it's like Poe's law.

Now where'd I put my klan hood and rope?
The media is against trump and specifically target him but thats because he's the frontrunner and awful. Probably also some cronies that want a shill are against him as well.
Jesus christ, thinking that it's wrong to ban an entire religion from your country is now 'comically leftist'.

[QUOTE=CatFodder;49624692]Jesus christ thinking that it's wrong to ban an entire religion from your country is now 'comically leftist'.[/QUOTE] Probably because of one's lack to deal with strawman politics that conservatives hold high and that many here understand the notion of pragmatic thinking? Trump (and Cameron) use strawman politics to win over the uninformed swing voters & reaffirm conservative rule. But in the end, everyone except those in power get shafted. Trump is so banal it's like he's a carbon copy of McCarthy with a bit of Dubya mixed in. Those who really do support him must have an attention span so short they probably have to watch CNN and FOX 24/7 to believe they are an 'informed' voter.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49624612]Have you ignored all the racially charged fear-mongering in all of his speeches? You have to literally seen [I]zero[/I] of his campaign to not have.[/QUOTE] And the opposition are using children and getting them to slander and swear a politican because he said things that hurt other peoples feelings, what's your point? He's against illegal immigration regardless of race and Islam which isn't a race as I am too, I vehemently disagree and oppose Islam as the logical conclusion is not compatible with the western world so I lean towards him. [QUOTE=Big Dumb American;49624656]Trump's just not afraid to "speak the truth!"[/QUOTE] Well he evidently isn't, you're correct. [QUOTE=Nautsabes;49624703]trump's a few camps short of being a nazi[/QUOTE] The Nazi's killed millions, Trump is not going to kill millions. Obama did more than enough damage to the middle east first hand.

I don't agree with everything he says and some of his policies I think are stupid, but economically they pan out as well as his views on migration. There's something akin to 400k illegals getting in per year, I intend to move to the U.S. for family reasons from Australia and am actually quite well versed throughout the year long process I've been going through and have first hand been impeded because of the massive numbers.
[QUOTE=Nautsabes;49624703]trump's a few camps short of being a nazi[/QUOTE] I think nazis are a few camps short of being a trump, he is a fascist. You can't look at his policies and not draw straight comparisons to hitler and mosalini
[QUOTE=Sableye;49625444]I think nazis are a few camps short of being a trump, he is a fascist. You can't look at his policies and not draw straight comparisons to hitler and mosalini[/QUOTE] This isn't a smart ass rhetorical question, do you legitimately believe if Trump was elected and assuming all followers of Islam in the U.S. were identified, they would be rounded up and systematically executed or forced into slave like conditions?
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49625468]He can't handle Megyn Kelly, but I bet he'll be able to handle all the responsibilities he'll have as president!!! Yep[/QUOTE] And you're just going to ignore that it would be suicide to walk into a loaded 'debate' as the main target owned by Murdoch, a man that opposes Trump as president? Come on.
[QUOTE=Captain James;49624461]I don't see the problem with Trump, when did Facepunch become comically leftist? It's like a parody whenever I see political threads, it's like Poe's law.[/QUOTE] A good portion of FP is rather conservative, it's just Trump is the last man we want in the oval office because he'd be the face of the countey and throws a tantrum whenever someone doesn't kiss his ass. He didn't even know what the nuclear triad was in the 3rd debate and he wants to be president.

It's not like they haven't done it before. Just like we did with Indigenous people and foreigners with the White Australia Policy. True the southern borders of the US is quite thin and stretched, but most of those illegal immigrants are trying to get a better life rather than living in the dangerous landscapes of central america. It's those who are carrying out illegal activities such as drug smuggling, human trafficking and crime that tarnish the hopes of legitimate innocent people wanting a better, safer life with better opportunities. Most immigrants who do want that will do anything to be accepted in their new chosen homeland as it helps them to get on with life and to settle in. There's no point in holding onto your former homeland's cultural extremities if they are going to impact your chances of staying.

But to lay claim that systematic genocide would happen freely and openly amongst the civilised world is to be disconnected with the way things are and how our societies function in the modern era, right now in this moment. There are examples of Sweden and Germany disregarding their own cultures as intimated by their OWN leaders and politicians to cradle extremists and rape apologists, turning an eye as it's "not their culture" just to accustom them. The thing is, this isn't an extreme comparison, this is a legitimate real thing that has and is happening right this very moment. A nation should be bound to it's own people before any other, I'm sorry if that sounds bad but it is what it is. I see that some nations thrive on different people migrating but to deny that some thrive and work on secular nationalism is ignorance at it's best. You are also correct there is no point holding onto a former homeland's culture if it is antithetical to your assimilation into a better one and a better life, but Germany is a prime example of turning an eye away for misconstrued reasons of false morality and bureaucracy all for a white-picket feel good moment. These aren't a minority voice getting the most attention, these are their literal leaders saying these things. The people that their people are meant to go to for help and protection. The west does not owe anyone anything morally, neither does any nation. Mass immigration is a placing a band aid over a festering wound, the problems in the middle east are a cancer that is metastasised and needs extremely aggressive chemotherapy, running from your own problems is leaving them to grow. It's now been shown that a very large percentage of these asylum seekers are economic migrants in disguise under the illusion of presenting themselves as such with no tangible threat to their lives.

Without trump, it's just a bunch of boring vacuous idiots in a lying/piss-taking competition. With trump, it's actually entertaining
[QUOTE=sgman91;49625711]It's a voluntary online poll. (aka. it's literally meaningless)[/QUOTE] I'm actually going to watch CNN, I honestly don't care to see 7 people get asked about why trump isn't there and a whole bunch of people trump is beating nearly 2:1 in polls.

[QUOTE=sgman91;49626470]Sorry guys, but I don't think hardcore liberals are the intended audience. We'll see after the fact.[/QUOTE] I'm not a liberal I am a conservative, and right now the only one with the best chance going all the way in the republican party is Trump based on the polls.
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;49626484]I'm not a liberal I am a conservative, and right now the only one with the best chance going all the way in the republican party is Trump based on the polls.[/QUOTE] Well, I wouldn't be so sure. Firstly, state polls matter a ton more than national polls and things can change very fast.
[QUOTE=sgman91;49626470]Sorry guys, but I don't think hardcore liberals are the intended audience.

I'm mostly just disappointed that they couldn't field anyone who even remotely appeals to the middle of the road people
