They won't be laughing when they wind up in a Siberian gulag!

They asked Mitt Romney and John McCrapstain

And this is news? A third didn't want him to run originally.

It actually helped Trump's credibility that he was clearly not wanted by the old mainstream Republicans.

Gave him the ability to claim he is an outsider to DC, which he actually is.

Trump's unpopularity with them enhances his popularity with others.

The third don't want him to run, they want him to declare himself EMPEROR FOR LIFE!

That being the case if an older Successful Black Business Woman had run in 2016 with the same message as Trump, would she have captured the nomination ?


Yes.

A republican is a Democrat who finally grew up and stopped being an ignorant naive kid.

A black conservative woman who’s popularly known with the right message would have a definite edge over the field of candidates, especially for the GOP nomination. If you don’t realize this, you just prove why you don’t understand much about politics.

I don't think the GOP would have nominated anyone but someone white - and male. The "base" couldn't abide 8 years of a black guy in the White House and the thought of a woman much less a Black Woman would have been even worse for them to digest.

I'm no republican. Nor am I a democrat. The parties are both puppets of the owners.

As an old white male I have no problem with voting for a black woman.

I judge people in the content of their character not the color of their skin.

Obama was half white but only SJWs, democrats, and other racists care about that.

If she had the same message as Trump on jobs, immigration, and terrorism, certainly being black would not have been much of an impediment. We elected Obama twice, remember?

Being a woman is a bit different though. Not even women are entirely comfortable with a woman as commander-in-chief, and this was indeed a factor in Hillary's loss.

Yes! I said from day when Trump announced his Candidacy that if that was Oprah Winfrey saying the exact same message there would have been an Oprah MAGA election spirit.
But that's it not one Politician was saying the things Trump was saying and wanted like hell for him to shut up. They didn't enter Politics to be a public Servant. For Trump it's easy, he has a fortune he says he isn't doing it for the money. Congress and everyone else Is doing it for the Money.
But lets say Oprah did pull a Trump in 2015 instead of Trump.
Would She had been as cunning, non relenting, self sufficient, and self sacrificing as Trump has been.
Could they have stayed ahead of the media, establishment and two parties trying to silence them at once. Would they have had the foresight to jump ahead in Primaries and set Precinct fraudsters straight and shed light on the rigged process, and paid out of his own pocket to sue at the 11th hour to get the will of the voters heard, rather than closed commies overriding the voters.
Everyone keeps acting like Trump fell ass backwards into getting elected hap hazzardly. He knew what in the hell he was doing and masterfully executed his moves to avoid the rigged pitfalls and to circumvent the MSM trying to suppress his message.

Don't cheapen what he did, by asking what if. If they could have they would have. Every Pro makes it look easy, doing it is the hardest part.

Plenty of racists around still, I know this, but the recent election proves that people will hold their nose and vote for the person who they believe holds their interests most in mind.

Also, even if you don’t like his politics, Obama did blow through that race ceiling. From now on, I think people will be more willing to put race aside when choosing a candidate. The right man of any race could win if he’s saying what people want to hear. The right woman would have to be a unicorn indeed. People are still deeply skeptical of women in power.

And it would be Oprah getting compared to Hitler, being called a racist, and getting slammed in the media every fucking day.

Remember when the media loved Trump? It was before he became a Presidential candidate who threatened to tear down the elaborate corrupt political structure the elite rich have created. It took them about half a day to decide he was now Hitler and to sic their media hounds on him.

Yeah and it would probably be FOX leading the Choir but definitely CNN would be joining in like Fox is against Trump.

No, and if you don't know why, you simply aren't listening or looking.

Even old guys in their middle 70's, who should already be retired from the Senate, but decided to run for President while collecting Social Security.

That is exactly correct. Why is it so hard for people to "get it"? The only possible way he could win was to affiliate himself with one of the 2 parties. Clinton had the other one locked up so he went with the republican name. He just used it to get elected.

As long as she followed orders and didn't have nappy hair, she could have easily won the nomination. Someone like condaleeza.

The simple truth is that women don't like other women.

I think the future of American Politics the Establishment will now create two Liberal Socialist parties, and two Conservative Republican parties that forge interchangeable Government coalitions. Make it easier for one of those Four to win with just 25% to 30% of the vote. They will encourage as many third parties as possible. It's the way Germany and EU Socialists keep a tight grip on those Countries Politics regardless who wins. And makes it impossible for a underdog Party compete against one of the 6 institution parties.
Then in the event that an underdog party like UKIP wins, they are ostracized and Parliament blocks them from forming affective Government. Or like in May's case they get conscripted into the Game.

The days of the election being between two Candidates is over. The next President might win on 25% of the vote.

A Third Of Republicans DO NOT Want Trump To Run Again 2020


As two thirds of Republicans want him to run again, he will easily win the Republican nomination.
He will easily win the next election too, because he got the economy moving again.

You have a short fucking memory. Which is probably why you’re a Leftist. It takes a special kind of stupid asshole to overlook a century of communist paradises that descended into dystopian monarchies, and wind up advocating for more of the same as if that’s a moral certitude.

This is your answer to the question when did the press like trump? Really? Seriously? Seems a little less than adequate response to the subject. Trump was never popular in the press other than being a kind of fun to poke at at clownish buffoon.

You have a long active imagination if you think trump was ever respected or popular in the press. Which is probably why you are a trump supporter. It takes a special kind of stupid asshole to overlook a century of authoritarian paradises that descended into totalitarian oligarchies, and wind up advocating for more of the same as if that’s a moral certitude

Sorry, but I'm not a leftist. I'm just not a far right blind ideologue. ! right wingnut != left wingnut
