Donald Trump isn’t funny anymore, and we all have to stop him
Washington Post ^ | 2-29-2016 | Michael R. Strain

Posted on 02/29/2016 6:09:35 AM PST by Citizen Zed

The president is our head of state — our chief public representative, a living symbol of the nation. However he would actually govern, Trump is simply unfit to hold this office.

He called for a Muslim registry. He wants to send Syrian refugees back to Syria. He has publicly employed misogyny and has publicly enumerated lists of women with whom he would like to have sex. He has mocked the disabled. He admires Vladimir Putin. He might have ties to organized crime. From the start, his campaign has appealed to the darker angels of our nature, generating support by attacking the vulnerable and rousing fear and suspicion of the other. It is no surprise that years before the 2016 campaign, Trump was a leading figure stirring suspicion that President Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump is deeply morally offensive. Why would we assume he would not continue to be that way as president?

His campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, tweeted the following in 2012: “Perfect Obama’s dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney’s dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?” National Review wrote about this last month, arguing that Pierson’s “nativism includes a bizarre streak of anti-Catholicism,” among other ugliness. Why does Trump continue to employ her? Why would we assume his White House press secretary would be any different?

And don’t forget this weekend’s atrocious incident in which Trump initially declined to condemn the Ku Klux Klan.

And they won’t, we know that. But they will use every negative word Trump has said in order to get Clinton elected. It appears from the statements in this article that they are just beginning to tap them and it is target rich.

He called for a Muslim registry. He wants to send Syrian refugees back to Syria.

The WaPo wants to send them to flight school...

DC isn’t funny any more. We have to stop them. To me, Trump is the best shot at doing that.

Gee,

I hope Trump could uphold the high moral standards set by JFK and Bill Clinton.

He called for a Muslim registry. Thank Heaven!

He wants to send Syrian refugees back to Syria. Thank Heaven.

He has publicly employed misogyny. Lie.

(He) has publicly enumerated lists of women with whom he would like to have sex. Most (straight) men do that.

He has mocked the disabled. Lie.

He admires Vladimir Putin. “Respects”, not “admires”.

He might have ties to organized crime. Proof?

From the start, his campaign has appealed to the darker angels of our nature. Your opinion; not fact.

Attacking the vulnerable. Lie.

Rousing fear and suspicion of the other. WTF does that even mean?

Trump was a leading figure stirring suspicion that President Obama was not born in the United States. He wasn’t.

The old saw about even a blind pig comes to mind. I think they are a bit over out on some of their issues but I think Donald Trump overwrought as well
I will not support in primary and will apose as much as I can but I will vote for the GOP candidate against Hillary if that is Donald trump it will be the first time in my life I’ve had to vote for a Democrat. For those who will use the but Reagan was a Democrat argument, Ronald Wilson Reagan moved from one part of the other over decades and then worked tirelessly for the republican cause before running for his first Republican office which he won then later ran for president. He didn’t try running as something else once then change party several times like Mr Trump has done. Dictated with Google Voice

Don’t buy in to the gossip of the Lame Stream Media about Trump or any of the candidates. If anything, go and see if their claims are authentic. See what the Trump organization is saying and other resources about those claims. Do a little fact checking.

We cannot let the LSM sell us on their propaganda just like we cannot swallow everything any of the candidates feed us. However, when there is The Candidate, we need to be ready to get the truth about the lies the deceptive statements the opposition will try to deceive the electorate. Developing our skills is a good idea.

Hey the Feds monitor deadly and hazardous substances. I think Muslims fall into that category. We know why they’re coming here - to take advantage of our amenities and take over. Why would you continue to allow? The explanation couldn’t be any clearer. Because you’re one of them or want this to happen. Plain and simple and we know where our WH stands on this issue. And you wouldn’t have to register them if you just barred entry and deported them.

At least Trump gets the vote. Winning is all that matters at this point.

The MSM hasn’t realized that they are also responsible for the creation of a Donald Trump. They sneer at average Americans and as a result, average Americans are turning them off and not buying their publications.

I’ve joked that if the media really wants to stop Trump, they need to come out and vigorously endorse him...lol
