So apparently Trump suspects that US soldiers stole money that were going to Iraqi reconstruction: https://youtu.be/DoAriULv1P8

Also I find this interview with senior campaign staff (two campaign managers and a communications director) from the Rubio, Cruz, and Bush primary campaigns fairly interesting.

"Who does Trump end up picking as a running mate? Dennis Rodman? The ShamWow guy?"



The ShamWow guy was born in Israel and is therefore ineligible.

QuoteWhen asked to assess the responses of the presumptive nominees for President, Americans are divided on Hillary Clinton's response to the attack, while ratings of Trump are more negative. 51 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is responding to the Orlando attack, while just 25 percent approve
:lol: :lol:
Maybe taking credit for "calling it", insulting Americans, and insinuating the President of the United States is in cahoots with terrorists is not very popular with the electorate.

Clinton should be getting a poll bounce about now since Obama endorsed her. But Trump just stuck in a persuasion harpoon that'll now start ticking because of confirmation bias in receptive voters.

Trump makes a good point about Hillary:

QuoteHillary Clinton talks about women...she plays the woman card more than any human being I've ever seen in my life and frankly, I don't even think women like her from everything I see. And yet, she's taking 25 million dollars from certain countries...that treat women horrendously, that kill gays and you know what's going to happen...lets call for Hillary and Bill Clinton to give back the 25 plus million dollars to the countries we're talking about.

Her amoral "practicality" bordering on sociopathy is bit unnerving yes. If only it were coupled with competence and stamina.

Well polls have been showing her pull away. And then you have polls like the one from yesterday where 63% of women said they would never vote for Trump in this election. :hmm:

I too agree that Donald is flying by the seat of his pants. It makes this whole disaster even more enjoyable  :lol:

Wasn't contesting the polling; just throwing that in there ;)

Just wondering, is there any level of meaningless trolling stupidity that Trump could possibly utter that wouldn't prompt you to "retweet" as some golden pearl of wisdom?
