Trump's biggest enemy: Google
CNN ^ | 16 Feb 16 | Dean Obeidallah

Posted on 02/18/2016 5:24:43 AM PST by elhombrelibre

Poor Donald Trump. He really, really wants to leave behind his brash, vulgar, sexist and bigoted comments and be seen as presidential.

Trump told reporters as much last week, noting how easily he can pivot to be more presidential. "I'm very capable of changing to anything I want to change to," he said. He also vowed to "never" use "foul language" again on the campaign trail.

What has brought on this sudden change of heart?

Apparently Trump, much like countless past presidential candidates before him, wants to begin pivoting from more partisan positions in the primary to more moderate ones to help in the general election. Only in Trump's case, we are not talking a change in policy, but a change in persona.

Here's the thing, though: Trump could suddenly start acting like Prince Charming complete with white horse, but there's one big problem standing in the way of this chameleon transformation -- Google. Of course, YouTube and Twitter don't help him too much either, but Google is truly Trump's kryptonite.

Have you considered using the IRS on them or maybe the FBI? I mean they’re really out of line having links that lead people to Trump statements.

Oh my gosh...you’re so funny! Why did you give up your career in comedy?

So speaking of ceiling fans. Riddle me this, chief. Tell me what your idol has done in his life, prior to running for President, that shows he has a sincerely held conservative belief. Tell me where the foundations are that he’s created with all of his money to advance a conservative cause. Cite all of the cases where he stood up to the “way things are done” in NY that “forced” him into donating to the Dems. Show me anything he’s DONE, not just something where he’s run his big mouth.

don’t get dizzy staring at that fan of yours...

Trump’s biggest enemies are Google, the media, entrenched democrats, republicans, industries, and anyone else benefitting from globalist Obama policies.

It would be nearly impossible for an objective person to spend a day googeling trump, to then honestly believe he is a political outsider

....or honestly think he's going to govern in any kind of conservative manner, or honestly think he gives a DAMN about the Constitution, or honestly think he believes in limited government.....

So I make a pretty innocuous statement, that was proven exactly right, might I add (well, I bet 5 comments, it took 6) and you get all snippy about it saying that “my guys” are much worse. Wow....project much my friend? Pot meet kettle.

And re: your loss prediction.... Your boy has (very deservedly) unfavorables in the mid to high 60s...and is virtually nobody’s second choice...as soon as the field is narrowed, trump is toast. It’s gonna be Rubio or Cruz...count on it..

What will you do then?

I will have to stand corrected then as I cannot find a link to support my statement (it was on CNN televised, but I concede I may have been half asleep).

I did find this gem for you though, which contradicts my statement:

“One surprising finding from the poll is that Ted Cruz has the worst net favorability rating of the candidates, with 42% of voters seeing him positively to 48% who have a negative opinion of him. He and Jeb Bush (41/43) are the only candidates under water. Showing that popularity isn’t everything Ben Carson is by far the most widely liked hopeful in the state with a 68/23 favorability rating, followed by Rubio at 58/32 and Kasich at 52/29. Trump is only the fourth most well liked at 50/43, but in contrast to the other candidates most of the voters who like him are also planning to vote for him.”

Can I define globalist? Nor really, because the more I learn about the powers that be in this world, I’m straining even my fairly decent command of the English language. What I mean, though, is a force of greed and power whose interests are completely outside those of the American people and the Constitution. And by “force” I mean of enough strength in number and resources to have fingers in political and industrial power within and without the borders of the USA.

Snippy

I see literally hundreds of threads a day here on something Trump said taken out of context and a big negative headline made over it and then posted by the same 5-7 posters and immediately replied to first dozen posts by yet again the same Trump haters

And on every one someone like you will come along early on and lament that:

“Aw shucks how long before a Trump supporter comes along and says we’re full a dookie”

Now stupid is this how whole faux offended dog and pony show?

It’s like southern girl passive aggressiveness

Serves no purpose but venting the frustration you’re losing

Again more femalian behavioral on parade

But have fun

I’ve got virtual hankies for all

Voting is always very deterministic. It's the polling that is "miraculous".

Who let the flea back on the dog?

I thought you were over at TOS bemoaning your zot that was apparently less perm than you feared

Welcome back

I don’t agree with zots over primary fights or in the old days ... Sarah Palin criticism

Those Trump zealots are less prolific than the Cruzbots

They are busy bees no doubt because given Doughty Ones voting booth Trump had majority support here yet the Trump Sux posts here are by far the most numerous

What’s that quote?

Though doth protest too much methinks
