Donald Trump: "We're Having a Problem"
Yahoo Politics ^ | 8/16 | Josh Lederman

Posted on 08/16/2016 5:34:51 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

In a rare show of humility by the boastful billionaire, Donald Trump is acknowledging his presidential campaign faces challenges and could ultimately fall short.

The Republican presidential nominee is straying from his signature bravado as he campaigns in the battleground state of Florida, even telling a gathering of evangelical ministers Thursday he's "having a tremendous problem in Utah." The same day, the reality show star acknowledged his lack of political correctness could cost him the election if Americans reject his blunt approach.

"We're having a problem," Trump told the ministers, adding the next president could get to nominate up to five high-court justices. "It could cost us the Supreme Court."

Romney has worked hard against Trump in Utah.

Romney has no influence.

Really not sure what you mean. Up at 5:30 for PT at the gym. Coffee, eggs, play with the dog.

You can forget about not getting up and see what Trump said now. As they are doing now, the media will make up [lie] things he said. Even now he has not said 99% of the things the media says he did. Anyone who trusts the media t be honest is a fool.

Anyone who votes Democrat is a fool. Look what they did to their own voters, they inflicted obamacare on them, which will later on kill them? How" by denying payment for treatment they will need as the elderly stage in life. But, As the Apostle Paul wrote in the Holy Bible: "As you sow, you also reap".

Is there a limit on what these cultists can be ordered to do?

Or how gullible some of the people on this forum can be?

The fact that Mormons would rather have lyin Crooked Hellary as POTUS is baffling.

Mormons apparently want to be the new east-coast liberal Jews.

“I don’t know what to make of this”

Trump is switching his persona to that of a more humble guy in order to pick up those that can’t stand his haughtiness.

He just needs to add a little humility and subtract some of that haughtiness.

I believe he knows all of this but sometimes am not sure.

To a Clinton nothing says “power “ like massive globalized corruption, influence peddling, being impervious to any legal action, and targeted premature deaths of inconvenient witnesses and snitches

No personal insults
It’s just business

If Trump falls short because of Utah not voting the usual GOP way

highly doubtful that Utah will be a tipping point for Trump, good or bad...

It would be nice if I could come to FR and not have to this crap like I do everywhere else I go.

are you saying you want FR to be a ‘safe space’, like they have in colleges so the little snowflakes don’t have to experience stuff that gets them upset...?

Now, is this exchange between you and Pinkbell expressing your concern an example of how you demonstrate to people that you're a Trump fan?

To: Pinkbell

Another gaff from diarrhea mouth Donald.

“Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s former campaign manager, said the billionaire businessman was trying to unite Second Amendment supporters to turn out to defeat Clinton.”

The problem with this is, Trump referenced this after he said Hillary would have appointed judges - which means the election would have already been decided. I know it’s (likely) not what he meant, but the man is probably the most inarticulate person we’ve ever nominated.

Folks who are swayed by the MSM were never going to vote for Trump anyway. Trump’s bringing in voters from all over the political spectrum because he is PRO AMERICA. Regular people are in increasing numbers rejecting the biased MSM because they media is no longer hiding their preference for Cankles. As long as there are thousands of people listening to Trump’s rallies outside of the venue its a sign the media’s stranglehold on American politics is greatly diminished.

Vote Trump 2016

FReepers:

As silverleaf points out, the institutions are dying that historically served as intermediaries between citizen and state. Preserving and strengthening the role of these intermediaries is the essence of conservatism. But the tide is going out. The institutions that are not withered and vestigial have become corrupted.

At this point, it’s a republic if we can restore it. But that may take many generations.

Have a backup plan. Have a way to get out of the country fast if you need to. At least have a way to get out of the city if you live near one.

Establish networks online now, that can be activated if the net is shut down.

If Trump is elected, it will hold off the descent a bit longer. It will give us all more time to prepare. So we should support Trump unequivocally.

All of Utah is only 60% Mormon. Salt Lake City is only around 30% Mormon. And we don't all vote monolithic.

The media exclusively refers to Trump as a "reality tv star."

I don't think the media referred to Obama as a homosexual rent-boy in the lead up to the 2008 presidential election.
