What's new

Trump with slight lead nine weeks out (CNN Poll)

So couple weeks ago I went to Seattle and drove through Washington state, Olympic peninsula, near Columbia river to Portland. Every little town, village, city you name it had tons of Trump campaign adds and contrary I did not see a single Clinton add. How do you think most of regular Joes in those areas are going to vote? Even speaking to few people in bars or hotels it looked like everybody there is set for Trump to win. I just can imagine how popular Trump is in southern states.
Trump is going to get killed in both Washington and Oregon, despite what you see. Go to the cities. That's where the vast majority of the voters are, and they despise Trump.
 
Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter, famously mocked the polls on election eve 2012 and predicted a big Romney victory because of a feeling she had about the mood of the country “all the vibrations are right” and a preponderance of Romney lawn signs she noticed in Florida and Ohio.
 
Instead of going out to eat every other night and buying the new Madden and 2K I would be saving my money. Would be very hard at all. Just would spend less on myself and only buy things I need.

You'd also likely be living at home with mommy and daddy.
 
I don't rent. I own my home. I hope to have it paid off by the time I'm 40. I have a bunch of land that will definitely be paid off before I'm 40. My truck is paid off and I have two more years on my Corolla. My wife makes 46k salary. My pay used to be up and down because I ran my own business. The best I did in a day was $2,800, the worst was $0 to keep my guys busy. I saved a bunch of money and went back to school when my 2nd was born.(cause the grass is always greener) I got half way through my associates and life hit me like a ton of bricks. The last year has sucked donkey balls and I have had a lot to deal with emotionally and financially that I never expected. I wanted to do something meaningful so I accepted a job making $10 an hour helping at risk teenagers. I liked working with the kids but I just could not justify it financially and I wasn't sure that what I was doing was the best thing for them anyway. Recently I accepted a job as a cable guy hoping that wed-sun would allow me the time to finish an engineering degree. I get paid piecerate and am currently weighing my options between going back to the IBEW doing the electrician thing or working short hours making 40+ an hour doing rigging work while I finish my degree.

You don't own your home. The bank does.
 
It's literally $500 a month for a two-bedroom house. My last electric bill was around $120. Everything else is extremely cheap. I make around $600 a week (pre-tax).

Is this rent or a mortgage payment?
 
BTW, your sig is sort of odd. Do they pay people for being sexual predators and victims at Fox?

I'm kind of surprised you hadn't heard about this. After all, I'm sure a fair and balanced news program such as Fox must have covered the story.


And here's some thoughts from the Donald:

"I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he's helped them, and even recently. And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him. And now, all of a sudden, they're saying these horrible things about him," Trump said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Saturday evening. "It's very sad because he's a very good person. I've always found him to be just a very, very good person. And, by the way, a very, very talented person. Look what he's done. So I feel very badly."

The worst thing about this disgusting defense of an alleged serial predator is that it’s hardly the first time Trump has used it.


In 1992 when Trump was asked about his good friend Mike Tyson being convicted of raping Desiree Washington, Trump defended the boxer and maligned the rape victim. He in essence blamed Washington for being raped: “You have a young woman that was in his hotel room late in the evening at her own will.” And then Trump— even though Tyson had already been convicted by a jury—despicably questioned whether Washington was even raped, noting that a video after the incident showed her “dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.” Trump then added, “It’s my opinion that to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case.”

The cable network I listen to most (satellite radio) is MSNBC. Of course I knew the Ailes story, but I never heard it presented the way it is in that Salon article. It seems to be a pretty slanted presentation, but maybe I'm wrong. I had not heard these settlement details before. It still strikes me as odd to say they are being payed for either of those roles.

You will get no argument from me in support of Trump. I don't know the specifics of either rape case you've posted his comments on so I'm not sure if there's any justification for what he says or not, but I do know that in several instances where he has talked about situations I'm familiar with I hated his skill at manipulating the truth, and even moreso the way he lies without remorse. It leads me to believe that he can and will lie about anything. (I feel the same about Hillary, BTW.)

I've had personal dealings with several of these types of narcissists. In my opinion, once someone shows themselves to be that sort of liar it's foolish to ever trust them again. There's a big difference between telling a white lie and using deception to destroy other people for your own benefit.
