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."

Since so many vocal nevertrump seem to be Mormon, can you tell us more about what they are told?

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

he resonated with people by doing just the opposite of that; he’d have gotten nowhere with another weasly politician persona...

He’s having problems in Utah because Gary Johnson is or was leading there. Go Gary!

I can be a Trump fan without being a blind, lemming stooge. I’m also a realist and I want to win. I do NOT NOT NOT want Hillary. Fact is, whether the media lies or not (they do) Trump has said some stupid $hit. Stuff that has done NOTHING to help him. Just like in the movie Patton...

Your first sentence is simply not true. I know several people that are anti Hillary and were planning to vote for Trump but have been scared away by some of the things he’s said.

They’ll either stay home now, or vote Johnson. I know several people - and not all here in NJ

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

Do they think she will usher in the end times?

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

Not me. I like to see articles like this, for the comments under it.
I NEVER read Yahoo, I know many are getting their 'news' from sites like that and are basing their voting decisions on these article.

Read the comments here, use what people here are replying and get into your local sites that post these types of articles and fight back in those comment sections - locally.

FR isn't a 'safe space', this is a Conservative activist space to read, learn, research...get out there and fight the MSM narrative...Grass Roots.

My vote would go to hanging them from light poles with piano wire. As far as waterboarding them goes, I am not against id, but some things are impossible. The media telling the truth is right up there with a leopard changing its spots.

They weren’t all that useful in the Civil War. Lincoln had to grant them a semi-sovereign status just to get their guarantee not to disrupt the supply lines.

“he resonated with people by doing just the opposite of that”

That’s true but I know too many people that can’t stand his attitude. They can’t see through to his positions on the issues.

I’m all for Trump doing whatever gets him to the Presidency. His people know more about voter sentiment than I do.

The continued Hillary stumbles and apparent neurological glitches

PLUS

Tim Kaine’s lunch meeting with Son of Soros the other day

Indicates to me that Plan B is underway. Hillary is days away from stepping down due to health reasons. Far more powerful forces than even the Clintons have decreed it thus.
The destruction of America cannot fail on account of a corrupt woman’s failing health.

Tim Kaine will ascend to the top of the ticket. He will be seen by mush-minded voters as “reasonable” compared to Trump and will win. GOPe quislings will be bought-off to get him on enough state ballots to make this possible.

The puppetmaster continues to pull the strings.

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

They are already directed to believe that their god lives on a planet near star Kolob, and that a heroic tribe of Nordic Hebrews settled in North America but were later wiped out by dark skinned Jewish Indians without so much as a trace.

So to answer your question, no.

Anyway, I look on the bright side & hope that this is Trump doing some soul-searching. Would Hillary do the same? Of course not, she’s all perfect & all knowing (snerk).

87 days to the election; as they say, that’s an eternity in politics.

The majority of Americans know him only from the show, so it’s not untrue. While the show was about business, Trump is known more for his grandiose style and ruthless decision making.

All the establishment’s and media’s rationalization, hand-wringing and disinformation has been completely flummoxed by this phenomenon. His presentation is juvenile; his delivery infantile; his policy puerile; and his style often hostile. Trump is a joke, and wholly inadequate for the serious position. All the experts have to do is show this and he will lose. They will continue to employ their entire arsenal of slander, but it’s already over. Trump combines the worst characteristics of both the nouveau-riche and the bourgeoisie. He epitomizes everything the establishment hates. Trump is the embodiment of the brash, unvarnished, crude American dream.

The reason nothing sticks to Trump, is we already know his faults, and they make him the more perfect messenger. Americans are really a simple people, and we have one simple message for Washington, from a spokesman synonymous with one phrase:

“You’re fired.”

You stay afraid then & believe the MSM holds sway. I will continue to reject that they are. I believe in Trump’s message & leadership skills vs the MSM’s bias all day every day. Trump is going to win. Have a nice day.

Vote Trump 2016

wow, great minds think alike...

LOL, I saw your post and ran with it...
This is what WE ALL should be doing on our local websites.
Everyday I read the junk articles on my local 'news' sites.
Everyday I come here and read and learn.
Everyday I take what I learn in here and post on those local websites.
We can't just huddle in here, we have to get out THERE and fight.
