Hilarious TRUMP Lovers

[SheriffJoe]

You’re not wrong but I don’t agree with your reasoning. Well some of it I do. (He is still only 45, can run again in 2020 or 2024, could run for a Governor spot, etc)

The reason he won’t be Trump’s VP is Trump won’t select him.

Trump is high rolling because of his outsider, no holds barred, fuck Washington attitude. Rubio doesn’t fit that mold.

Maybe someone with a military background, Petraeus?

Maybe a Governor from a swing state, Rick Scott?

I have no idea who Trump will select but I pretty sure it will be non establishment.

It won't be Patraeus. Trump already said as much as he likes him, he's too damaged.

If it's Rubio or Kasich then Trump's "outsider, no holds barred, fuck Washington attitude" was a total ruse and his supporters should prepare themselves for a shitload of establishment "deal making" once he gets to Washington.

If that happens, then I think you'll see a serious movement to CHANGE a broken political system which no longer serves the people.

I think trump should pick kardasian .
Have a reality show for people to vote on which kardasian sister for vp and fire the other one

 

[CHOPTALK]

I once thought Trump had zero chance to beat Clinton. I've said it on this forum many times.

I was just going off the old trends and old play books.

But I guess it's fair to say we can all throw that in the trash when it comes to Trump.

The same people that say he can't beat Clinton are the same exact people who said he won't be around after August .
Then they said he would be gone by September . Then they said he would be gone by October. Then they said he would be gone by November. Then they said he would be gone by December. Then they said he would be gone by January.

Then they said he would not win 1 state in the primaries.
Then they said once Bush drops out and others and the field gets narrowed down his lead will shrink because he has a 30 something percent ceiling. Then Bush drops out and now he has a 40 something percent ceiling .


So now after all this I'm supposed to take stock in these people who have been wrong about absolutely everything that's come out of the mouth the last 365 days and just assume that they are right this time when these same people say he can't beat Clinton .


Im done with this.
Not gonna be surprised anymore.
Not going to assume he can't beat her .

This. He is an absolute wildcard and can't be predicted by conventional means that have worked in the past. With a nod to Trump's former association with the fake world of Vince McMahon, Trump is the Roddy Piper of Politics.

The Guy who's Tax Returns and lack of same cost him bigtime in 2012 weighs in:

MITT ROMNEY: There's good reason to believe there's a 'bombshell' in Donald Trump's taxes

• Brett LoGiurato

Mitt Romney.
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday called on Republican candidates to release their tax returns — and speculated there could be a "bombshell" in those of frontrunner Donald Trump.
"We have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes," Romney told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Wednesday.
"What do you mean?" the host asked Romney.
"Well, I think there's something there. Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay. Or perhaps he hasn't been giving money to the vets or the disabled, like he's been telling us he's been doing," Romney said.
Romney's statement came after Cavuto asked him why he had not yet made an endorsement in the Republican presidential race. As Trump has continued to march toward the nomination, Republican Party establishment members have rallied around the candidacy of Sen. Marco Rubio.
Romney said he'd like to see the taxes of each of the individual candidates.
"Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have not shown us their back taxes," Romney said. "This was an issue on my campaign."
Indeed, the Obama campaign and its Democratic allies in 2012 made Romney's taxes a signature issue. Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid famously speculated that Romney didn't pay any taxes for a decade.
Romney eventually released two years' worth of returns that showed he paid an effective rate of less than 15%. He called on the Republican candidates to do the same but zeroed in on Trump's supposed hesitance to do so.
"The reason I think there's a bombshell in there is that every time he's asked about his taxes, he dodges or and delays and says, 'Well, we're working on it,'" Romney said of Trump.
Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday that he would release his returns "at some point, probably." He has also bristled at the notion, as Romney suggested, that any of his financial statements might show that he is not as wealthy as he has claimed.
"We’ll be working on it," he told Hewitt. "Everything is very much, you know, I gave my financials ahead of schedule, much ahead of schedule. I had a long time to give them, and I gave them immediately. And they were very complex, also, and very big, and they turned out to be extremely good, much better, actually, than people thought."
Romney, who has long been critical of Trump, emerged back into the public discussion over the 2016 presidential race Wednesday when he was quoted discussing the year's political environment.
"We're just mad as hell and won't take it anymore," he said of the electorate on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post.
"The failure of current political leaders to actually tackle major challenges, or to try at least, or to go out with proposals," he added, speaking at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Voter Turnout: Secret Sauce of Trump’s Success

The passion of his voters negates the money and the organizing prowess of his rivals

by Keith Koffler

There have been two particularly remarkable patterns in the Republican primaries so far: Record number of voters turn up to vote, and Donald Trump wins or — once, in Iowa — comes in a close second. And that is no coincidence.

Trump is the candidate of passion in this race, and the passionate are showing up at caucuses and polls in droves. Record numbers of Republicans have cast votes in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and the long lines recorded Tuesday in Nevada suggest the same thing happened there. GOP contests in the first three states to vote drew more than 1.2 million voters, up 24 percent over 2012, the New York Post reports.

Voter turnout negates the advantages of Trump’s opponents and fits perfectly with his playbook. Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are better organized than Trump and have superior “ground games.” But you don’t need buses and perky twenty-somethings to drive voters to the polls if they’re going anyway. Trump is inspiring people, and they are turning out.

What’s more, by striking such a resounding chord with voters, Trump, whose spending has been dwarfed by his rivals, doesn’t need to pound them with ads or drop cash getting them to the polls. “Money can’t buy me love,” the Beatles sung five decades ago. Trump has the love, and he doesn’t need to try to purchase any.

​

Rubio is starting to rack up endorsements. Trump won't be accumulating many at all. But endorsements represent someone else's devotion, not that of the voters. The approval of the Establishment will be overwhelmed by the ardor that is driving Trump's voters, and it will make little difference for Rubio.

You don't marry someone because someone else loves them. Not usually, anyway.

By contrast, the other passion candidate in the race, Sen. Bernie Sanders, is losing to Hillary Clinton. And that's because his energized acolytes are sweet young things who are excited about Sanders' socialist message but who haven't taken the hits life offers and haven't watched the slow decay of their nation over decades. And thus, they are turning out for rallies, but not so much for voting. Sanders blamed his loss in Nevada Saturday to low turnout. It's a problem he may continue to have on Super Tuesday.

Trump's voters are angry, the Nevada caucus entrance polls show it. They know Washington doesn't work. They know the economy is limping. They know their jobs are being stolen by bad trade deals and cheap labor from Mexican immigration, which is swamping the country in numbers too big to absorb. They realize traditional politicians have failed time and again to get the job done. The Marco Rubios, the Jeb Bushes or the world — they've seen these types before. They want someone who is brash enough and determined enough to really make a change. And Donald Trump fits the bill.

In Nevada, Trump took the over-65 population. They don't have the same volume of hormones driving them into adoring and adorable frenzies at Bernie's rallies. But even if they have to employ walkers or wheelchairs to get there, they show up to vote.

And for those doubting Trump's ability to win in the general election, take the polls you see showing him narrowly losing to Sanders or Hillary Clinton, print them out and drop them in the trash. Because he is, as he says, the "high-energy" candidate with the high-energy voters who will arrive at polling stations on Nov. 8, 2016, Election Day in the United States.

Trump and Rubio "made a deal" to take out Cruz which appears to have succeeded.

Now Trump will probably choose Rubio as his VP and we can all watch neverbend's head explode.

For any constitutional small government conservative who voted for this elite Manhattan liberal "outsider" all I can say is...

GET USED TO IT!

Trump never made any deal with Rubio, where do you come up with this nonsense. The best thing Rubio could
ever hope for in a Trump administration would be that Trump realizing Rubio is out of work and nearly broke
as Rubio usually is may throw Rubio a bone and make Rubio 'The Ambassador to Cuba" he'll be at home there.

Of all the people that the books have as possible VP's there is only one with credible odds that I dislike
more than Rubio that's Haley governor of SC. Those two are not being considered.

I surmise you are one of litmus test guys that probably supported Christine O'Donnell in Delaware instead of
Cassell & Sharon Angle in Nevada instead of Sue Loudon both syre losers while Loudon & Cassell could have won,
so you won't like this call but Trump to BALANCE THE TICKET will more than likely pick Kasich of Ohio.

I was actually hoping your guy would somehow beat Rubio for 2nd last night. As Rubio's also ran victory speeches
are getting on my nerves & Rubio is still a contender for the nomination Cruz is not. And I do like Cruz more than Rubio.
Cruz is a very unappealing candidate in many ways, Rubio is a weasel. I like unappealing people better than I like weasels.

Even worse. :>(

But it will confirm my fear that despite all his anti-establishment rhetorical bombast which sounded great on the onset but gets stale for meat and potatoes conservatives, Trump will govern no different than a McCain or Romney would have...far short of the necessary scorched earth approach President Cruz (the real outsider) would have brought to Washington.

What is Trump going to ax? The Dept of Education? No chance in hell. The EPA? Dream on.

President Cruz would reverse every Obama executive order, rip to shreds that treasonous Iran deal and begin mothballing a host of unconstitutional progressive government agencies. And that would just be Day One.

Trump will expand Big Government, but at least it'll be your type of Big Government.

 

[Dafinch]

You freaking dumbasses are STILL in this thread rooting for Trump? LMAO...Then there's Sheriff fucktard who is so fucking bored up in Canada (he hates hockey!), he must consume himself with the election. Sheriff you're such a fucking loser that you still think that dumbfuck Cruz can win. He NEVER had a chance. Not even a small one. You're just too fucking stupid to see that.

Pure comedy...As for the all you waiting in line to lick Trump's balls...You are still in La la Land. Trump will NEVER win enough hispanic votes to win the general election. Never. Keep dreaming. He's a piece of shit who is going to lose BADLY in the general election. Of course all you whiny tea party fucktards will lose your minds. And it will be hilarious....Again!!!

Dead on, as usual. Democrats are gonna party like it's 1964; you Repubs remember 1964, don't you? Slaughtered in the general and not exactly great in Congress, either, lol. It's hilarious how disorganized the Repubs are, now you got Mitt Romeny talking about there's a "bombshell" in Trump's tax returns, ROTFLMAO!!!!! He is probably correct about that, but Flip Flop, I'll-release-a-few-selected-years-of-my-taxes Romney is literally the LAST guy who should be delivering that message. Dirty Tricks, Ineligible-to-be-President Cruz had to fire a top staffer, Rubio is skulking in a corner, terrified that somebody will notice his speech-by-the-numbers, lol. This party is gonna get BUTCHERED, and it's gonna be epic when all the righties on this forum all scurry back down into their rat holes...

Political Science Professor: Odds Of President Trump Range BETWEEN 97% AND 99%​

A political science professor who claims his statistical model has correctly predicted the results of every election in the last 104 years has forecast that the odds of Donald Trump becoming America’s next president currently range from 97 percent to 99 percent.

The professor is Helmut Norpoth of Stony Brook University, reports The Statesman, the campus newspaper at the public bastion on New York’s Long Island.

Specifically, Norpoth predicts that Trump has a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of beating Bernie Sanders.

The predictions assume Trump will actually become the 2016 presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

Norpoth announced his prognostication on Monday night during Stony Brook Alumni Association event at the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan.

“The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president,” Norpoth said, according to The Statesman.

“When I started out with this kind of display a few months ago, I thought it was sort of a joke,” the professor told the alumni audience, according to the student newspaper. “Well, I’ll tell you right now, it ain’t a joke anymore.”

“Trump beats Hillary 54.7 percent to 45.3 percent” in terms of popular vote, Norpoth prophesied.

“This is almost too much to believe,” he told audience members described by the student as nervously laughing. But he is convinced his model won’t be wrong.

“Take it to the bank,” Norpoth confidently suggested.

Norpoth, a 1974 University of Michigan Ph.D. recipient who specializes in electoral behavior alignment, said his crystal ball also shows a 61-percent chance that the Republican nominee — Trump or not — will win the 2016 presidential election.

The political scientist also said there is virtually no way Trump could lose the Electoral College vote if he rakes in 54.7 percent — or more — of the vote.

Norpoth’s general election formula measures candidates’ performances in primaries in caucuses to gauge party unity and voter excitement. It also focuses on certain patterns in electoral cycles. One major assumption is that the party which has just held the presidency for two consecutive terms is less likely to win a third term.

The model has been correct for every election since 1912 except for the 1960 election — which pitted winner John F. Kennedy against loser Richard Nixon.

In total, Norpoth observed, his forecasting formula he has created has been correct 96.1 percent of the time since 1912.

The professor said he has used the model in recent times to predict Bill Clinton’s victories as well as George W. Bush’s and Barack Obama’s wins.

Donald Trump on VP pick: We need a political insider

Story highlights

• Trump declined to name any names, saying it's "too early"
• Trump said the "main quality" he would seek in a running mate would be someone who could be a "great president"

Washington (CNN)Who would be Donald Trump's vice president?

He still won't say -- but the GOP front-runner divulged Wednesday that it would like be an insider in contrast with his outsider status.
"I do want somebody that's political, because I want to get lots of great legislation we all want passed," Trump said Wednesday in a Q&A at Regent University. "We're going to probably choose somebody that's somewhat political."
Trump declined to name any names, saying it's "too early," although he did say some of the other GOP presidential candidates might make the short list.

"Some of the people I've dealt with, I do have a lot of respect for," he said the day after he won the Nevada caucuses by a landslide.
Trump said the "main quality" he would seek in a running mate would be someone who could be a "great president" if something were to happen to require that person to step in -- but after that, it's about balancing his political outsider status.
RELATED: Trump wins Nevada
"I'd want someone who could help me with governing," Trump said. "You want somebody that can help you with legislation, getting it through."
Trump did note that while his background is in business, that doesn't mean he's never dealt with politics.
"I'm also very, very political," Trump said. "When you can get zoning on the West Side of Manhattan to build almost 6,000 units of housing and you have to go through New York City politics, believe me, that's tough."
He compared the difficulty of that business deal to that of brokering a peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians.
"It's about as tough a deal," he said.
But the "Art of the Deal" author said that presidential achievement would still trump any he's negotiated as a businessman.
"I view that as the single toughest deal," he said. "We're going to give it a shot ... A lot of good people have gone down trying to give that one a shot."

It almost has to be Kasich. Consider the democrats
in 1952 Stevenson was an egg head nerdy intellectual from Illinois and he picked Starkmen
a relatively unsophisticated segragationist from Alabama to draw votes from the south. You
don't pick someone like minded you pick someone who will theoretically help the ticket.

Look who is next on your list Haley from SC an Indian ethnic. Even Romney & McCain won
South Carolina why would he need her the Republicans haven't lost South Carolina in 40 years.

3rd on the list Rubio, he would be useless Trump is even beating Rubio in his home state and the false notion
that we need a Latino on the ticket to improve percentages of Hispanics crumbles when Trump scorched Rubio
in the first state where Latino support was tested 48 to 25. No need for a guy that doesn't attract his own
ethnics.

4th Cruz, give that a rest Romney & Crazy John McCain took Texas Trump needs no help there from someone
who even failed worse than Rubio with his own Latino ethnic background

Have to balance the ticket
Kennedy/Johnson helped Kennedy win the presidency, Texas & the rural south
Reagan/Bush conservative/moderate

who even failed worse than Rubio with his own Latino ethnic background

Have to balance the ticket
Kennedy/Johnson helped Kennedy win the presidency, Texas & the rural south
Reagan/Bush conservative/moderate

Kasich is clearly the guy, if he wants it. He may not, as he has a great job he's happy in. Christie is next. Long time buds with Trump, similar personality and does know how to govern with the opposing party. Also will need a job as NJ Governor is term limited. If not him, it's Portman. Long time Political insider, Ohio, swing state guy like Kasich, not an insane ideologue. I'll be very surprised if Trump's VP isn't one of these 3 if he gets the opportunity to pick one.

I'm gonna save the Top Ten predictions and/or comments re: the election to bring them the comment at the appropriate time. There's still a long way to go, of course, but I'm confident that this gem will be in the Top Ten. You and the quack who posted the above nonsense-are 2 delusional mother fuckers.

I don't know about the "97%-99%" odds because I haven't seen the professor's formula but I do know this is not a Democrat cycle.

There's a reason why the only two presidential candidates in your party are a lying criminal power-hungry whore and a commie quack who never held a job until he slimed his way into politics.

There's a reason why Democrats like Julian Castro and Fauxcahontas don't want any part of this Obama train wreck.

And there's a reason why, thus far, in this cycle Democrat turnout is way down and Republican turnout is way up.

But then there's also a reason why you can't tell reality from satire and therefore need Big Gubmint to care for you.

Loser!@#0

You got the BALLS to talk about the flaws about the top Democrats?!?! You're a fucking moron, took a close look at those top 3 Republicans, all 3 of them have tons of stuff that is gonna make it to embarrassing political commercials(Trump's gushing over what a strong letter Putin is, for example).

The Guy who's Tax Returns and lack of same cost him bigtime in 2012 weighs in:

MITT ROMNEY: There's good reason to believe there's a 'bombshell' in Donald Trump's taxes

Mitt Romney.
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday called on Republican candidates to release their tax returns — and speculated there could be a "bombshell" in those of frontrunner Donald Trump.
"We have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes," Romney told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Wednesday.
"What do you mean?" the host asked Romney.
"Well, I think there's something there. Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay. Or perhaps he hasn't been giving money to the vets or the disabled, like he's been telling us he's been doing," Romney said.
Romney's statement came after Cavuto asked him why he had not yet made an endorsement in the Republican presidential race. As Trump has continued to march toward the nomination, Republican Party establishment members have rallied around the candidacy of Sen. Marco Rubio.
Romney said he'd like to see the taxes of each of the individual candidates.
"Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have not shown us their back taxes," Romney said. "This was an issue on my campaign."
Indeed, the Obama campaign and its Democratic allies in 2012 made Romney's taxes a signature issue. Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid famously speculated that Romney didn't pay any taxes for a decade.
Romney eventually released two years' worth of returns that showed he paid an effective rate of less than 15%. He called on the Republican candidates to do the same but zeroed in on Trump's supposed hesitance to do so.
"The reason I think there's a bombshell in there is that every time he's asked about his taxes, he dodges or and delays and says, 'Well, we're working on it,'" Romney said of Trump.
Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday that he would release his returns "at some point, probably." He has also bristled at the notion, as Romney suggested, that any of his financial statements might show that he is not as wealthy as he has claimed.
"We’ll be working on it," he told Hewitt. "Everything is very much, you know, I gave my financials ahead of schedule, much ahead of schedule. I had a long time to give them, and I gave them immediately. And they were very complex, also, and very big, and they turned out to be extremely good, much better, actually, than people thought."
Romney, who has long been critical of Trump, emerged back into the public discussion over the 2016 presidential race Wednesday when he was quoted discussing the year's political environment.
"We're just mad as hell and won't take it anymore," he said of the electorate on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post.
"The failure of current political leaders to actually tackle major challenges, or to try at least, or to go out with proposals," he added, speaking at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Lol damn. Talk about a last gasp.

Like Trump didn't know he would have to release this info eventually? What does Romney think is really gonna be in there?

Only thing that will likely be revealed is Trump isn't as cashflow rich as he says he is, but that is irrelevant. He can just say most of his wealth is tied up in real estate assets and businesses. Who cares.

Then trying to add Rubio and Cruz to it. Like anyone cares what their tax situations look like.

I think Romney wanted to back Rubio sometime this week but now he just thinks it won't even help him and this is a better way to do his bidding. Not gonna work though.

The Trump naysayers don't get it.

'I could shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters' - Trump

That about sums it up.

Tomorrow night debate should be good. Last chance for Cruz/Rubio before this thing gets away from them on Super Tuesday.

I think both of them are gonna go all out and really question Trump's knowledge of the issues, his conservative credentials and his electability. I don't think this will work but it is their last chance.

Otherwise Trump just crushes Tuesday and it's probably done.
