Magox Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) IT’S PADDY CHAYEFSKY’S MEDIA WORLD, WE JUST LIVE IN IT: So for the past month, a cartoon-like Manhattan real estate plutocrat has well-positioned himself to be the potential next President of the United States by sucking all the oxygen out of any room he is in, particularly as his churlish dowager opponent flails about while under FBI investigation. Yesterday, a Democrat party activist for amnesty for illegal foreign immigrants attempted to hog the microphone at the cartoon zillionaire’s press conference, and today justifies his boorish actions by claiming, as Allahpundit paraphrases, “My ‘right’ to talk over other reporters and ask Trump grandstanding questions was trampled” when Trump’s security man had him temporarily removed from the press conference. Also today in a far more sinister media development, “A disgruntled former news reporter who shot dead two of his ex-coworkers during a live TV segment this morning is in very critical condition after attempting to kill himself http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/213232/ Unfortunately, they both came out as winners. Without doubt, Trump's followers were reminded yet again why they love him. While Ramos was able to show his audience with comments such as "Go back to Univision" which was interpreted as go back to Mexico and seeing him kicked out (deported) by Trump his antipathy towards Latino's. As someone who lives in Miami, I can tell you that this is being blasted throughout the local channels and every bit of it is casting Trump as the villain. Trump was at -51% favorability with latino's, expect that to go down even further. And with that sort of dislike with Latino's, if he did happen to get the GOP nomination, you can't win with those numbers in many of the swing states. Ramos and Trump both achieved what they could have wanted out of the mixup. Edited August 26, 2015 by Magox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So you're for the soda tax? Hailing from Western Pennsylvania originally, I fall into the Pop side of the great Pop vs Soda debate.

It's odd that you want to drink him, and I'm petty sure he doesn't swing that way; but I'm sure he'd be flattered, especially at his age.

Sorry TYTT, this is WNY.................it's "pop".............80 - 100% Though I'm not quite sure what this has to do with this thread............. I guess I'll add this: Trump Leaning against a Third-Party Run The latest NR includes this editorial comment: “Trump is a serious threat to some of the other candidates, especially the second-tier ones whom he is squeezing out. Other Republicans, even if they fear he would be a terrible nominee, need not panic. They should, indeed, take comfort in his strength in the polls: His consistent fifth of the vote is enough to make him stay in the Republican primaries, where he is likely to lose fair and square, rather than leave early to enjoy making third-party mischief. The longer he stays in the primaries, the less of a third-party threat he will be.” Here’s the Huffington Post just now: “Trump Telling GOP Brass He Will Forego a Third-Party Run: Sources.”http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-telling-gop-brass-he-will-forego-a-third-party-run-sources_55de06eae4b04ae4970577d3?oypn9udi Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner Edited August 26, 2015 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'd say the page count on this forum is a good indicator of support nationwide. At this time it's Hillary leading with 63, Trump second at 55 but closing the gap, Bernie at 33 and Jumpin' Joe Biden at 2. Joe's got a lot of upside though if he gets in. Past gaff's alone will propel him past Sanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd-party threat was overblown anyway. If Jeb's the candidate, many of Trump's supporters will stay home. Either way, GOP loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
