    even black people with college degrees are tired of obama. trump will get the highest % of the black vote since reagan, george soros can send his actors to another trump event. But it wont matter, obama had me fooled. He has done nothing for african-americans. If Obama and Hillary knew about the trump train that was coming they would have done something, but it wouldnt have been sincere

    their are more black trump supporters out there, im not even close to the only one. Our ancestors built this country and we arent gonna let some invaders come in take what they did for granted

    Dont believe the online polling, its run by the elites to try and trick people who are on the fence. Hillary is not getting much of the bernie crowd, at least not the amount that is being portrayed on tv

    Interesting similarity between the moniker structure of "RocketsLegend" and "HardenTime" as well as the content and trumpological stance.

    Coincidence?

    Dude. It's a freaking message board. You can say absolutely bonkers type s**t. It doesn't happen. Said person disappears. Then everyone moves on with their lives.

    One of the few things referenced like that is the Jopat person from 4 years ago. He REALLY hammered his predictions home. And he is humorously referenced occasion.

    There are several other threads in need of your special attention. You should probably get moving before your shift is up.

    Now run along little lap dog. Go on...get.

    Trump will be crushed and he and his supporters are already claiming how it is rigged.

    They have conceded defeat

    CNN interviewed the ex-Christie aide who announced she is voting for Trump.

    First on CNN: Ex-top Christie aide backs Clinton over Trump
    .
    .
    .
    "Donald Trump has been a demagogue this whole time, preying on people's anxieties with loose information and salacious rhetoric, drumming up fear and hatred of the 'other,'" Comella said.

    "Instead of trying anything remotely like unifying the country, we have a nominee who would rather pick fights because he views it as positive news coverage," she said. "It may make him media savvy, but it doesn't make him qualified or ready to be president."
    .
    .
    .
    "Instead of speaking out against instances of bigotry, racism and inflammatory rhetoric whether it's been against women, immigrants or Muslims, we made a calculus that it was better to say nothing at all in the interest of politics and winning elections. For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example," she said.
    .
    .
    .
    Why are you coming out against Donald Trump?

    "As someone who has worked to further the Republican Party's principles for the last 15 years I believe that we are at a moment where silence isn't an option. We are here today in part because as a party in the past we have remained silent when things have made us uncomfortable. Instead of speaking out against instances of bigotry, racism and inflammatory rhetoric whether it's been against women, immigrants or Muslims, we made a calculus that it was better to say nothing at all in the interest of politics and winning elections. For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example.
    "We have to stop thinking that winning at any cost is more important than governing principles. It should be the job of the Republican Party's nominee to set a tone worthy of being the leader of the free world and not give into our worst instincts. I don't care if it's good politics or not."

    Why now? Was there a tipping point?

    "I've been contemplating whether to say anything publicly for awhile. When you are used to being behind the scenes and speaking for someone else it doesn't come naturally. For me, I think that it's a culmination of watching Donald Trump purposely play to our worst instincts and fanning those flames. We can't survive as a party if we don't try to elevate the conversation and lead. If those of us who believe that Donald Trump shouldn't be President don't say anything, we are just part of the same problem."
    .
    .
    .
    How long have you been a Republican and what would you say to other Republicans about why you are doing this?

    "I've been a Republican since I grew up listening to my parents talk politics at the kitchen table. Two people who came from working class families, never went to college and managed to send their two daughters to college as firsts in both families. They believed in a Republican Party that preaches that in this country there is opportunity for you no matter where you come from, who your parents are or what you grew up with. They believed in working hard, free trade, a government that delivers basic services well and is there when hard work alone isn't going to cut it. They didn't care what goes on inside the four walls of your home. Today, we have a nominee who doesn't represent any of those basic principles and he is just a culmination of our misdirection over the last few decades."

    Is it time for GOP leaders to investigate whether Donald Trump is a secrete Clinton plant used to get them to tank the election?

    She is very crooked and Trump and her were friends.
