Trump 2016: Yes. We. Can.

I'm glad he's a hypocrite but its scary to see how incompetent and unstable he is sometimes. He'll say anything and flip flop as many times as he wants

I've now watched Trumps Anderson Cooper interview and a chunk of his Chris Matthews interview.

I'm baffled that anyone can support him watching that. Baffled.

Also, interesting experimental poll done by, I believe, Quinnipiac that tested statements and positions with Trump supporters. They found a (not)surprising tie between the subjects support of a statement/position and whether they thought Trump said it. When given a statement/position without knowledge of it being a Trump statement/position they were likely to oppose. When told it was a Trump statement/position they would support.

 

I think the Trump nut is finally beginning to crack.

Or is it the nut Trump is cracking.

Stick a fork in the guy.

 

This is a fun one as well:

Pundits have been saying this since last fall, and he still keeps delighting the proles. It's like saying the Spurs are too old to contend -- no one wants to say it anymore because they are tired of being wrong.

 

You are giving some voters too much credit.

 

You are going to stick a fork in Trump after all of what he has gone through? With a huge delegate lead?

I have never been comfortable with Trump winning the Republican nomination, it didn't "fit" but I don't see how you can stick a fork in him at this point.

 

No one likes him but he keeps winning?

 

Love him or hate him, there's no indifference.

 

There's no way that abortion stance wasn't him just trolling. Next he should just say "you know Obama has done a so so job" just to see how his supporters react. He's a cult leader.

 

That was definitely a punch. I didn't see any elderly man or any sexual assault though.

 

what else is there to say about Trump? He's clearly a moron. Close this thread already. It's not like he's going to win anything.

 

Chris Matthews was successful in getting Trump to say a few things that reflect who he is but he also missed a huge chance.
When he talked about banning Muslims, Chris said ".. but some of your friends are Muslims, .. " Trump said to the effect .... "Yes, they are all rich and they will be able to come into the country ..."
The Trump's supporters probably missed that but I wonder what they think?

 

I didn't see the sexual assault but she was screaming at the man accusing he groped her at the beginning of the video leading up to the punch.

 

He's not trolling. He's just that ignorant. I think it reflects the reality that he doesn't give a flip about abortion one way or the other. That's why his position can change so easily from one political expediency to the other. He doesn't care at all about the debate. He doesn't care about women with crisis pregnancies nor about the lives of fetuses. He hasn't thought about very hard at all about the subject. He figured he could go into an interview and shoot from the hip about abortion without preparing anything beyond the policy position "I'm as pro-life as Ronald Reagan (whatever that means)."

Matthews, of course, by now knows that Trump will speak off the cuff on almost any subject and take a position even if he's never thought about it before. So he asked an explosive (but easy!) question and Trump fell into the same trap he keeps falling into again and again. He made up policy on the spot with whatever felt right and not giving it a moment's thought. Trump is not educated on the political questions of the day, nor does he even have the work ethic to prepare himself to cram the night before a test (the same lack of preparation and organization that has been reflected in his inability to create a ground game for his campaign, which might allow the Republicans to steal the nomination out from under him at the convention), nor does he even have the wherewithal to control a dialogue in real time to manage the conversation away from dangerous topics or easy traps. To say he's trolling gives him far too much credit, imo. You have to understand what's going on in order to troll.

 

Imagine someone like that making rash military decisions. Yikes!

 

Or meeting with other world leaders.

He has a real cloak of invulnerability for his supporters though. No terrible interview, or irrational outburst, or crazy statement can change their minds, b/c what they appreciate is that he is from outside the system. Every perceived misstep just makes him even more of an outsider. It's fascinating, but I think he was right: he could shoot someone in broad daylight and his supporters would probably not care.

"You'd never see a Washington insider have the guts to shoot someone in broad daylight."

 

This seems more like a vanity project than a commitment to winning.
