US Politics

[gambit]

I'm amazed by the campaign on some networks - featuring Democratic members of Congress - to get the electors to not vote Trump and accede to the popular vote instead. I wonder how far the Dems will go with this.

From all my yrs in observing US politics, I have no problems saying for the US intellectual Left, 'the end justifies the mean' is always a viable tool in their toolbox.

By this I do not mean a Leftist will kill if he/she feels a need for it, although that drastic action cannot be ruled out. What I mean is that a Leftist will go to the end of his/her abilities in order to advance the cause of Marxism. A Leftist leaning journalist will have no problems violating the codes of the profession. A Leftist leaning academician will have no problems exploiting his/her authority in the classroom to indoctrinating young and pliable minds who are very much a captive audience.

That a man like Trump wins in a country like America shows how dumb and ignorant Americans are.

Trump is highly popular in the US, even before the election. He hosted TV shows and been on TV for many decades. He's hardly a household name. He has been involved in politics for many decades.

He should have remained in Hollywood. That's was better for him. An actor doesn't make a good politician.

Politics is about power. Who has power. Many in the entertainment industry, such as Schwarzzeneger, Reagan, Jesse Ventura became politicians and got power.

No one is born a politician, a governor, a mayor, a senator, a representative. Every politician used to be a non politician.

Trump is highly popular in the US

Not quite. Even after being elected President, his unfavorable rating narrowly exceeds his favorable rating. He's far from being "highly popular in the US".

When he's on TV lots of people watch. He is popular.

0.000001 of a million is still considered millions. Plural. It doesn't have to be 1 million or more to be considered millions.

All these people you have mentioned became and acted like politicians, not Trump. He's still behaving like he's a star of his own reality show. He hasn't shown anything that he's capable of being presidential. He lacks decorum.

That he's not a politician is his usp, it's why he connected to the people, he didn't get elected for being "presidential", he got elected for being real, when the time comes, he'll be presidential.

anti Trumpers, get over it already

Well the election is over. Trump is President-Elect now, and will be President in January. Being real means being Presidential, not tweeting like teenager. Trump needs to get on board.

#YesYourPresident

Yes, Trump is my President. I will call him President Trump. Not because I like the guy. I don't. Not because I agree with him. On most things, I don't. But I do it out of respect for the office and the system of government and, most important, the Constitution, something Trump seems to have a very weak grasp of.

It's a very effective platform to communicate over, we saw him use it brilliantly during the course of his campaign, and because the msm is still a 100% opposed to him, he's sort of boxed in to that being the only place where he can communicate honestly to his supporters.

Trump is a master media manipulator, his Mike Pence Hamilton incident 'safe space' tweet was just him taking the piss on the left, the 'only I know the finalists' one, again, he's just pissing all over his 'reality tv clown' detractor pundits.

He probably cant get enough of the wild speculation, and may well be playing Romney like a toy only to dump him big league later lol

Indian origin fearmonger scumbag spreads fear on MSNBC

deport to guantanamo + waterboard the commie till he's cured

The only thing to fear is this guy's hair! I know him. He's very active on Twitter. He's the type of liberal that is well known: the urban hipster. In his case, it's Brooklyn, which is ground zero for rich liberal elite. Anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

These leftists are delusional. They're pissed at Trump because he's their ugly reflection in the mirror. They got their equivalent and they deserve it .

This delusion led to their defeat. The liberal MSM let them down be predicting a Clinton victory. The polls said it would be a Clinton victory. No one on the left saw a Trump victory coming. Why? Because they all live in a bubble of their own making. They have no idea what the other half lives like. Have no idea whatsoever. They got hung by their own petard -- identity politics.

That won't happen, no jizya over here. They already assimilated prior to Trump, and it was voluntary not forced.

There's only two types of people in America, American Citizens and illegal immigrants. You need to get over your ignorant hatred of America

It's not hatred I am just replying to the muslim hypocrisy

They complain about trump but ya the same time if you want to live in their lands you have to pay jizya

lol, and what a perfect caricature of trendy hipsterness he is too.
