Trump went from majority support to majority support. He will win the nomination because conservatives, Republicans in particular are terrible, awful people. None of this is really even new, they’ve been terrible for decades and decades.
Its astounding how gullible a majority of them actually are.
We need to find some way to meet their needs that isn’t politics, because the needs they are meeting have nothing to do with governance.
There is nothing you can do that they won’t turn into politics. They turned the existence of groups of people into politics. That’s right by simply existing its politics. And there is no way you can avoid it.
Except that’s not politics. Not in any meaningful, constructive sense. It’s partisan but it’s not political, and I think there’s a pretty big difference.

Uhh, an MMO where they can run around shooting at minorities and yelling racial epithets into their mics?
- GTA Online intensifies *
They’re scared. They are powerless to affect an uncertain future. They’ll get worse the longer they have to live like this. I guess we have to fix the world?
They need to stop actively working against that then.
Yeah, and a drowning man needs to stop thrashing and pulling down his rescuers, but he’s fucking drowning.
Bullets? That will definitely work
When so many people make comments like this and “basket of deplorables”, is it any wonder that so many people are so enthusiastic about Trump? It’s clear to them that people like you think very little of people like them, and they see him as “their guy”. Turns out people don’t like it when others make sweeping generalizations by calling them, and nearly half the country, evil.
“I don’t like people who are actively supporting a bigoted criminal trying to get more power.”
“See, this is why they are supporting the bigoted criminal.”
Okay then…
Everyone is responsible for their reprehensible behaviour but them.
They actively call my family members “pedophiles” for being gay. I don’t like it when they make sweeping generalisations and call my family evil.
So forgive me for thinking you’re a reprehensible person if you support a person as vile as Trump. He started the mudslinging, not us.
Again, you are making a generalisation that they think your family members are pedophiles.
I am not responsible for conservatives abhorrent attitudes. If someone pointing out how absolutely shitty you are being makes you even more shitty, that is entirely on you.
They’re not the bad guys! They just support the bad guys!
And this is why democrats throw on the shocked pikachu face every election they lose. When you shit on a person for years, have kneejerk reactions to whatever they think and generalize half the population, don’t be shocked when they don’t vote for “your guy”. Also, your slightly racist grandma will go out and vote every time, when your asses won’t.
Rhetoric like that is absolutely going to make them more willing to work with you, you should keep it up.
Lol yeah They haven’t been seriously trying to work with anyone since before Newt Gingrich.
Worth pointing out that a national poll is pointless as we do not have national elections.
Show me the polling from these states:
Iowa - 1/15 Caucus - 8/24 - Trump +20
New Hampshire - 1/22 Primary - 8/15-17 - Trump +20
Nevada - 2/6 Primary, 2/8 Caucus 6/26-28 - Trump +30
South Carolina - 2/24 Primary 8/17-19 - Trump +34
Michigan - 2/27 Primary 8/1-2 - Trump +48
Idaho - 3/2 Caucus (no polls available)
D.C. - 3/3 Primary (no polls available)
(Trump D.C. Trial begins) - 3/4
Super Tuesday - 3/5 - Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Masachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia.
Mini-Tuesday - 3/12 - Georgia, Mississipi, WashingtonAnd even if it did have significance, dropping 6 points still puts him way ahead of any of the competition.
Could also be due to his absolutely ridiculous mug shot. He looks like a 5 year old crying and pouting because he has to stand in the corner for doing something bad. From the picture you can easily understand why aids testified under oath that Trump threw food on the wall. You cannot help but wonder: Is President Crybaby going to launch nuclear weapons because he didn’t get his ice cream?

He raised over 7 million dollars from that mugshot in the 48 hours after it was released. Laugh all you want, but his cult was buying up “boohoo I’m so persecuted” merch by rascal load.
That’s a good thing. The more that Crybaby Trump’s humiliating picture is out there, the better. And that is another 7 million dollars that will not be used to help elect Republicans
Who knows if it’s really 7 million. He has a habit of inflating numbers.
With every ridiculous thing he’s done, I’d forgotten about him throwing food at the wall. Thanks for the reminder! I needed a good laugh!
I think he’s trying to mind control the guy taking the picture.
Negative turnout is going to be a huge deciding factor in this election. Can’t win the nomination without Trump, can’t win an election with him.
He needs to fucking go.
So, a minimal change and still has him leading the next closest Republican candidate by 38%.
Needs to drop off the planet tbh
Which debate now? The one he missed? Or was there another?
