In the Land of Raw Firepower, a Feeling That Trump Is Out of Ammo
politico.com ^ | 10/23/2016 | M. Scott Mahaskey

Posted on 10/25/2016 5:12:58 AM PDT by rktman

In another political universe where a different GOP nominee was leading in the polls, this three-day-long salute to the glories of the Second Amendment could have been an early celebration for gun rights supporters in anticipation of the victory of President Ted Cruz or President John Kasich. But with Donald J. Trump atop the GOP ticket, that’s not the way it felt at Knob Creek. In other parts of the nation, far beyond this former Army gun range halfway between Louisville and Fort Knox, Trump was shedding supporters faster than a Gatling gun spitting shell casings. And while regulars to the machine gun shoot are still likely to vote for Trump, the ones we spoke to were not blind to his sinking poll numbers and had come to terms with the idea that the battle, still three weeks away, was already over.

“Trump can’t win,” said Steve, who wouldn’t give his last name because he didn’t want his house blown up (who he was afraid of wasn't clear). Steve, whose accent suggested a hometown somewhere in New England, said that without women, blacks and Hispanics, Trump couldn’t overcome Hillary Clinton. “And that’s game over. He lost as soon as he picked his running mate. You can’t win with two white guys anymore. If he would have picked a woman, she would have been forced to defend him.”

Well, politico------------- So, there you have it folks. Apparently second amendment supporters are bailing on Trump in droves. So, with helldabama ahead by at least 108%, all those intending to vote for DJT may as well stay home and not waste your gas going to the polls. Or NOT! More BS to suppress the conservative vote. Kinda like the assclown 'gun owners' who "star" in the "VOTE YES ON QUESTION 1" initiative ads in NV. You are a disgrace just like the famous 2nd supporters margabby kelly-gifool. They should look up "infringe" sometime.

The only thing ones out of ammo is the MSM and HRC because they keep repeating the same lies over and over again ad nauseum. They got nothin’. If you can’t see that Hillary is a crook of the highest order and a globalist hell bent on destroying the planet for profit you’re blind, stupid, or mentally Ill or all of the above.

If Trump is “out of ammo” it’s because he blew so many holes in Hillary that that the wind passes through her like a screen door.

The levels of manure emanating from Politico could fertilize all the farmlands in America for years to come.

Podesta was a Hillarybot who helped other supporters of her organize Politico after she lost to Obama in ‘08. Their sole purpose is to get her in the White House, so they could run the country to the Left again.That this site is given any credibility in this election cycle is a mystery.

"The levels of manure emanating from Politico could fertilize all the farmlands in America for years to come."

The first use in President Trump's administration should be to have the Demonicrats swim in it.

Well, as long as they wear Crocs or Flip-flops, the lyin’ king can maintain “No boots on the ground”. I REALLY don’t like these people.

Her blurting out the nuclear option on the debate floor was the biggest acts of both vanity and foolishness I have ever seen. The e-mails, Benghazi, and talking about the nuclear option in the debate are all serious issues where I would never EVER trust her personally with being commanderive-in chief

Propaganda either accepted, believed, or approved by quite a few Republicans and conservative radio hosts.

Micro aggression, Politico is using a gun analogy.
