President 2016

[DRK Star]

I think Trump loses his composure too frequently. I think he makes comments that involve race, and he doesnt articulate them very well....but, I dont know if its intentional or not. If its not intentional, he is occasionally looking like a total ass and from a strategic standpoint, costing him some votes and creating negative impressions. I dont think he apologizes well. I think he lets his heart get the best of him...he may have good intentions, but if he just blurts shit out, without giving those things some thought, it could come back to bite him. At least he is saying them though, and not just being a rigid stick in the mud, calculating every word out of his mouth, which I despise.

drk, many people have rightfully criticized your debate skills here, but i wanted to add some specifics in an effort to help you out cause you're terrible at this.

the mark of a good debater is being able to concede points. when you do that, you seem reasonable instead of disingenuous. unlike gallo, who admits that hillary is an absolutely terrible candidate, you seem incapable of conceding any of trump's obvious flaws and instead go through a series of mental gymnastics trying to defend each and every one of his idiotic statements.

trump has many, many flaws. admit them. stop fucking denying that they exist. instead, concede them and tnen explain why you prefer him anyway, just like gallo did. defending everything trump says makes you sound you like you're just trolling us or insane.

No, you would be wrong. He didnt ask me to go into the things I dislike about Trump, and if you were paying attention (not holding that against you though, as I stated multiple times in old threads) you would have seen me make negative comments against Trump plenty of times.


If you were to state something about Trump, and it was shitty, you would have to say something along the lines of "DRK, do you agree?". I would then give you my opinion/answer. If you dont ask, how would I know to answer?

remember that time like two days ago when you said trump accusing cruz's dad of killing jfk was great strategy?

[sonatine]

the truth about trump becomes the truth about drk.

[DRK Star]

remember that time like two days ago when you said trump accusing cruz's dad of killing jfk was great strategy?

it was an interesting strategy, for sure.

distraction. Got a bunch of morons, who may not have been totally swayed at that point, to associate Cruz with the killing of JFK. Got them off their game.


was it absurd? to many people, sure, me included.

but was it effective? He won, and thats all that matters in the end.

?

He said it on the DAY of the Indiana Primaries. He said it, then people voted, and he won.



what do you mean by "He had already won"? Do you mean "Well, he was winning, and was probably going to win, and probably had things locked up, and probably didnt need to say that"?

He was ridiculously ahead and could only hurt himself by saying something stupid

It’s a case study in Donald Trump’s art of the unreal.

First, raise an outrageous untruth: Trump throws a rhetorical grenade at rival Ted Cruz on the day of the critical Indiana primary, linking Cruz’s father to the man who shot President John F. Kennedy. Cruz’s father calls the charge "ludicrous" and PolitiFact agrees, rating it Pants on Fire.



Next, bank on the media coverage: Trump highlights Cruz’s outrage, then soundly wins the Hoosier State, prompting Cruz to suspend his campaign.

After that, ride it out: The presumptive Republican presidential nominee refuses to apologize and instead defends his attack with more inaccurate claims, before sort of taking it back.

This chain of misinformation epitomizes Trump’s long-time philosophy of hyperbole as promotion, bombast over facts. The strategy earned him PolitiFact’s 2015 Lie of the Year and, as many pundits have noted, helped him become the GOP’s last man standing.

trump within two days of the vote, started to take a lead.


http://www.indystar.com/story/news/p...iana/83755438/




Ask Gallo to define "Ridiculously". I dont know that measurement.

He won like 53-36%

he protected his lead that day. It put Cruz on the defensive, so that reporters would keep asking him about his reaction to that news.

Holy shit

Drk fagging this thread up too ?

drk... again, this is another example of your outright refusal to concede obvious points and proof of your utter insanity. you know damn well it was an idiotic move for trump to have said that cruz's dad killed jfk, but you just won't admit it. what is it in your emotional makeup that makes it impossible to concede anything? the only other person i've ever seen like this is, well... donald trump

by the way 53-36 equals landslide. and just about every poll had trump crushing cruz in indiana the day of the primary. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...imary2016.html

jesus, you honestly think that hearing trump accuse cruz's dad of killing jfk gained him votes? you think that trump's fucking insane accusation appeals to normal college educated non- conspiracy theorist independent voters? what the fuck man

the more he speaks, the more I'd be concerned if I were Hillary. I feel like he is just lurking in the shadows, waiting to step in at the convention.
