    You know the routine, anything that doesn't fit their programmed narrative doesn't compute.

    Another pathetic thread created to undermine a candidate. History will look back at people like Rashmon and Carl H, as the great propagandists that destroyed America.

    Coming from you this is an honor.

    Thank you.

    Similar to Donald, it's like getting a purple heart without the trouble.

    Wouldn't contacting the campaign or webmaster to corroborate or explain, and incidentally remedy the problem, constitute a slightly more complete exercise, journalistically?

    So are you denying that Trump is doing this, Junior? And if he is, how can you defend it? Inquiring minds would like to know.

    A thread created to undermine a candidate? Yeah, posting on basketball forums is a major part of the Clinton campaign's strategy.

    Please don't confuse Junior anymore than he is already, Carl. His head might explode and make a mess of our various devices with which we access glorious ClutchFans!

    Yes but it would make a less popular story, which is really all the media cares about. The point is to get the most "views" and break stories even at the sacrifice of credibility and accuracy.

    Yes Donald Trump deliberately told the webmaster to not allow anyone cancel their recurring donations. How stupid can people be?

    I honestly never knew this was a thing.
    I understand making donations but I never thought people would set up recurring donations

    Interesting world we live in . . ..

    one way to attract small donors

    instead of a one time $200 donation, $20 donations spread over 10M

    Maybe or maybe not. It's a bit fun to poke at Trump though.

    But really, what matter here is how is his Campaign reacting to these things. He can easily squash this by a simple message of oh, it's a mistake, sorry and we have corrected it. Or better yet, when they started receiving complaints, realize it could be a media hot story and take care of it before it get to that level. Just a very poorly run campaign to date and how you run your campaign is an indicator of your ability to manage things that is in your control.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">INBOX: Help, I set up a recurring contribution to Trump's campaign &amp; want to cancel it: (cc: <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">@realDonaldTrump</a>) <a href="https://t.co/TFOHhdZDlJ">pic.twitter.com/TFOHhdZDlJ</a></p>&mdash; Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) <a href="https://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status/761015802459856896">August 4, 2016</a></blockquote>

    There are more "liberals" than "conservatives on D&D, but you'd be surprised that its not that much of a majority. The last time someone polled on voting preferences:

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=276525

    36% Clinton to 19% Trump. And I'd argue that a lot of people that say they will vote third party, or not vote at all, will still vote Trump in support of the GOP.

    So while I am sure Trump has lost support, even here on D&D, as a result his many insane statements and actions, it sure isn't "just one Trump supporter here" (no matter how clownlike RL is).

    Gosh, you think the history books will write whole sections on how Rashmon and Carl destroyed America? I never knew anyone that was highlighted in a history book before... Rashmon and Carl, can I have an autograph?

    There is a difference in those that would support conservative values..and those that champion Trump. Trump has his flaws...And I am not oblivious to them. Trump however is unknown as a politician. Hillary is a known commodity and reeks of corruption. It seems there are many liberals that are inherently ignorant to that...but would rather vote along party lines. Why would I be any different??? No I am not voting for Hillary...
