Trump could win presidency: Yes or No?

The Trump that Partskeptic has created in his mind seems to have little resemeblence to the facts about Donald Trump. Frankly, I think Partskeptic's main reason for supporting Trump is he sees him an an "Alpha Male",whatever the hell that is.

I think that is true for many Trump supporters and it is intentional. He takes three stances on a topic in the span of a single run-on sentence. He is intentionally unclear so that everyone can apply their own interpretation. He is the Rorschach Test of conservatism.

If there is even a halfway competent moderator, that will bite him big time during the debates.

Bingo!

Like Vladimir Putin, the Alpha appeals to the Gammas.

Something to do with the size of his hands, apparently.

I was thinking more of Partskeptic's blind acceptance of Trump's claims to be such a brilliant businessman, which the facts show Trump record is very mixed at best,certainly not one of brilliance, given his unusual number of failures.

Yeah, that is another aspect of the same thing, I think. He doesn't do anything to support any of his claims because people see what they want to see and don't ask for anything more.

The party was ready for a successful alpha male who had serious business and leadership expertise and could come in and fix Washington. They got Trump instead.

No Trump fan here, but I can see the point that someone might credit every billionaire as a brilliant business man.

Oh. I see Hillary appeared on a TV show and answered the questions about her health. Guess you guys can now use this to argue that there is nothing wrong with Hillary.

You've been asked several times for a link to this video clip that you allege definitively shows Hillary having some sort of seizure. All the ones that I have seen are laughable. Really, Sean Hannity has an unusual ability to keep a straight face and not be embarrassed when he shows these clips. So as a claimed skeptic (at least partly) I've got to assume you have something better. Show us please.

I think she is Trump's chance to win...

You may be right.

But there is still the possibility that Trump fires her.
After all, the man spent decades as a Democrat, surely he has learned how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

More seriously, Trump has managed to turn away chances of victory before. Who can say what will happen next when dealing with a man whose temperament could be described as ... mercurial?

I think her chances are better of sticking around because she's a practiced liar and is much better at deflecting to "No... what we need to talk about is Hillary's dirty laundry..." than the shoplifter was. I'm sure she's as amoral as other political advisers, and won't have any trouble spinning non-news into news. The "big shift" on his immigration "policy" for instance, does not require a big shift. He never laid out in so many words just how he was going to get Sheriff Joe's Wetback Roundup working in the first place. For him to hint that he's not going to do that does not require re-writing any programs because they have no actual programs.

Assuming this was the last batch of emails, Trump is in trouble.
Nothing really new for Clinton, but Trump still has issues with his taxes, health records and a bunch of other easy targets.

This is all true! Sadly even being out spent by HRC, by a lottttt! Isn't crushing him!

Didn't you just post this exact same thing in another thread ?

Yes, pretty similar! Thanks for paying attention.
A rarity, in this part of the forum!

Notice how Hillary is throwing mud, and no policy?

And Trump is trying policy?

When the two are in the debate, there is no teleprompter. An evasion is an evasion. It will be very interesting to watch. I will stay up at night so as not to miss it live.

I also notice that there are more anti-Hillary political cartoons. it was nearly all anti-Trump for a long time until a short while ago. Any polls on cartoons as a predictor?

Nice to see the Trump method of debate alive and well elsewhere.

Simply take an indisputable fact about yourself, and project it onto someone else with whom there is zero evidence of it.

For instance, "Hillary is a bigot"



pathetic.

FWIW, Clinton is going to absolutely and thoroughly destroy that lightweight piece of **** trump in the debates.

 

[dudalb]

And anybody really think Trump can stay on the straight and narrow for more then a couple of weeks..........

Interesting. I guess we will see how that works out if Donald actually shows up for the debates.

Any feedback for why the people who know Trump well are not coming out in support of his run for president?

You would think New York and New Jersey would be proud of someone from their area, and yet he seems to not really have much traction there. How is some Johnny-come-lately more popular in his own home state?

The two States that know Trump best are giving Trump a resounding "NO!" Down by about 20 in both.

I'm not saying he should carry them, but it does seem odd that the folks who know him best are least comfortable giving him any power.

ETA: You would at least expect some support from the business community.
