Three Things That Could Derail Trump
Poletical.com ^ | October 1st, 2016 | T. Carter

Posted on 10/01/2016 11:18:32 AM PDT by PingPongChampion

There are conspiracy theories circulating online about Hillary Clinton and the Washington establishment trying to influence next month's election by either staging an international incident or pinning a mass shooting on Trump supporters. With Hillary's poll numbers barely surpassing Trump's after spending six times more than Trump on ads in swing states, some have concocted grandiose theories about how Hillary will try to change her own fortunes with an October surprise. Rather than give these theories automatic credence, I'd like to examine their validity and take a more sober look at the likelihood of an international incident or mass shooting being used against Donald Trump – without the dark, conspiratorial undertones.

These are three things that could unfold over the next four weeks and be used to derail Donald Trump's presidential ambitions. They aren't conspiracy theories, they're just re-tellings of common political strategies in which media events and incidents have been exploited to destroy political opponents.

Interesting speculation, but the thing that is probably most likely to derail Trump's campaign is Trump himself.

A military confrontation with Russia might actually work in Trump's favor. A lot of Americans trust the Russians more than their own government when it comes to affairs in the Middle East.

I’m so sick of the left’s Russian narrative. All throughout the Cold War when they were clearly our enemies the left found every excuse to like them and they called everyone from Harry Truman to Reagan warmongers for challenging them. Now it is the left who are becoming Hawks against Russia. This is BS. The Russians are now a convenient Boogeyman for the left, and strawmen in their plans for dictatorial control of the United States. Vladimir Putin is certainly a bad man and a despot, but he isn’t our greatest enemy at this moment. Any elected official in DC with a D, and many with an R by their names, are far greater threats to me or any of you than the ex-KGB boss.

The only thing that can derail Trump is 10,000,000 dead Democrats voting.

I agree, Clinton sold uranium to the Russians so the idea that Trump is in bed with them is ridiculous. Also, Clinton is an Alinskyite Communist and so is a Soviet fellow traveler. WTH is with the speculation of a rape allegation? BJ Clinton is a rapist! There has never been any allegation of Trump raping women and quite frankly, as a celebrity billionaire he wouldn’t have much trouble attracting women. Also as you can see from the women he’s married he has no need to go out raping women unlike BJ. Pure desperation that would only work on wimp candidates like Romney who would “take the high road” and not hit back.

Funny thing here is the left wants us to believe that Putin would go out and endorse the candidate he wants.

But Putin is smarter then that, he would go out and endorse the candidate he doesn’t want

Only the left is too stupid to see what Putin is doing here

Putin doesn’t want Trump, he wants Hillary. But he can’t just come out and say that so he says nice things about Trump

Putin is NOT stupid

But the American left IS

Donald Trump is our only logical presidential choice.

That said, isn’t it a good idea to stay informed of opposition propaganda and plans so we better know what may happen next in this campaign?

This doesn’t appear to be an agitation troll post.

We’re on for a very tense next five weeks.

I think there is only one thing that could derail Trump, if his supporters don’t actually vote, because either they think he doesn’t really need their vote, or that Hillary is going to win anyway.

It is very important that people don’t let themselves be swayed by the media, just get out there and VOTE!!!

"Three Things That Could Derail Trump"

1) people believing the polls and the media, and staying home on Election Day,
2) massive, wide-scale voter fraud, including manipulation of our easily manipulated touch screen voting machines, and hacking of our way-too-hackable networks, and
3) some kind of act of God, like a meteor strike, Yellowstone eruption, etc. And that would only postpone his victory.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
