Ryusei the Morning Star Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 so essentially trumps switching the peeson in charge of his campaign? only time will tell how good that goes over, on another note... TRUMP WORLDField spellWhen this card is activated, send all "illegal" monsters on the field back to their original countries. As long as you control a face-up "Donald Trump" monster, neither player can Illegally Special Summon monsters from outside the United States. Mexico must pay 500 life points each turn to build your wall, if they do not, this card is destroyed.Remember the Cruz wife scandel and how Trump got hammered in Wisconsin. Paul Manafort was the one that engineered the Northern Strategy and secure the nom for Trump. It's a good thing tbqh Make Ivanka VP is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 So Trump is closing on Penn & Ohio, but he tanked in Florida after the Judge s*** Which means 294 to 244 in Hillary's favor If Trump manages to take Virginia too, then it's 281 to 257 close but no banana'sThere's pretty much no viable path for Trump to the White House that doesn't involve Florida. But judging by the conditions of his campaign's finances, I don't think he has the gas in the tank to carry through. Clinton had $32 of in-pocket money for every dollar of Trump's; and the whole Draper-Sterling revelation is likely going to make it even harder for him to attract GOP donors. I really can't imagine how this will snowball any more, but I know it will. This cycle is such a shitstorm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cycle is such a shitstorm...Trump can self-finance himself and tell the other republicans to go funk themselves You wouldn't need a billion dollars to run a general election campaign just for yourself. He just needs to secure Florida, Penn, and Ohio. Maybe defend Arizona and NC Virginia is a stretch, but might be nice to have Speaking of Florida, Rubio is running for re-election so that seat is safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerion Brightflame Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 So weird because Trump is supporting something that made the world financial markets lose 2 trillion dollars I mean Trump made comments earlier supporting Scotland for it's decision to Leave the EU.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 So weird because Trump is supporting something that made the world financial markets lose 2 trillion dollars Well for starters, emphasis needs to be placed on world financial markets England isn't nearly as bad off as the ominous 2Tn value suggests. We were all expecting a shockwave if brexit hit, and some people wisely sold their stocks in lue of the small remain bump right before the wales result I mean Trump made comments earlier supporting Scotland for it's decision to Leave the EU. There's evidence he didn't think all of the information through when it came to commenting on BrexitSecondly, Trump's words were praising tourism. If the pound drops relative to the dollar and other currencies, then people are also more likely to visit England, and Scotland at that. Thirdly, loans and interest rates are an low, now is the time for English people to start investing cause the pound will only appreciate from here. So people trying to get their foot into the market will have it easy now. There is a LOT to gain out of brexit, but all people see is the buzz word 2TN figure The goal was to free the UK from a lot of the overbearing restrictions imposed by the EU, and in the long run cutting down on those and immigration will allow for the UK growth to increase. Nobody excepted results immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm aware that the current economic turmoil it caused is temporary. I'm aware the benefits are about lesser restriction (Even though I think most of the likely post EU deals involve us still having to abide by these conditions we just have no say in them anymore). But right now the issue isn't about growth for most people. The issue is about the fact a) A large portion of voters either voted in protest, or didn't realise what the EU actually did for them because they were ignorant funkers so people are regretting things, and b) There are hundred of millions of pounds (If not Billions) of grants that now need to be debating for replacement for Westminster. None of which is guaranteed. On top of all the other sheet we need renegotiating that affects a lot of people. We are talking research grants that make us a world leader in many fields. We are talking money that was spent on maintaining vital infrastructure like roads, and trains and Wi-Fi in the poorer parts of the nation. Free University tutition in Wales is under threat as a result of this. There is a lot to gain - But right now people can't care about what they are gaining, they need to minimise what they are losing. Additionally because most people have jack all knowledge of finances, what is likely to happen is we see the 1% get richer and the 99% get poorer, just like in 2008, and that just sucks.

Shouldn't we educate our children on this then? People should care. American stocks lost money. I lost money, but I've nearly made it up in by just re-investing and shorting. It's too late for our generation most likely, but this was a pretty ripe opportunity for the 99% to make some gains out of the matter based on the drops. Ignorance isn't a virtue and shouldn't be accepted or tolerated What needs to be done now is for y'all to hold your governments feet to the fire. Instead of focusing on a second ref or other tangent matters, the balls in your court now. Make sure that 350K is accounted for. Maybe not all of it will go to the NHS, but some portion of it can. This is a time for re-invention of England as far as I can see it Tom, and people are just giving the politicians an undeserved break by not reminding them of that.

He always said he would keep the good ones. That's basically what this is. As long as they don't get citizenship or amnesty I'm cool. Mainly we need to keep it from further happening.

It was never doabletrue, true, but his stance is still that of mass deportation, true, he might only go after those with negative influences, and yes, he might even assist those already here who are actually putting in positive work, but he needs to call a spade a spade. and that's what i'm getting at, the way he's speaking really has that flip-flop to it. he can keep the compassion, but he also needs to keep the steel that came before it. otherwise he really will be flip flopping on his stance.

I think he can get the cubans if he keep showing a bit of compassion and keep the rest as long as he keeps up the wall Maybe throw in a project to find and collapse the tunnels as well as be very strict on Visa overstays Time will tell if between this and Brexit he gets the boost he needs back As for his Muslim policy, I dunno. I'm glad he's staying firm to keeping those from terrorist affiliated countries out, and letting those in from other countries gives him a loop hole around the 1st amendment because it's not a region test as much as a terrorism threat. That was cleverly done, this immigration thing, I think he went a little too left for my likeing, but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 understandable i guess, but i still think hes curving to hard right now. it's easy to see, and it's definitely going to be a turnoff to many current, and potential supporters, especially those who aren't following all to closely. the problem is that the way he presented it really does weaken his overall stance, i can see the sentiment remains, but it's being presented completely wrong. he has to keep the steel in his stance visible, while stressing that he is not unwilling to give chance to those who are actively productive. that's why changing what he calls it to such a degree is a bad move. he will lose his presence if he softens his voice, the way things are going, like it or not, the only person stopping trumps' momentum, is trump, and sadly, he's doing it far too well. i'd assume that comes with the ideal already, no point making a wall if there's alternate tunnels. brexit was really good for trump, and the call for recount might actually solidify him with those Americans with similar mindsets to the leave campaign, they aren't connected at the hip, but the overall sentiment can only help him so far as anti-establishment goes. and even on the other side, those Americans who were for the remain side, but see the recount call as childish might actually develop some common ground. it's really only gonna help him as long as he himself doesn't try to milk it completely. touch on it, but leave it alone for the most part, let the media do it for him. his muslim policy has the same steel it's always had, so there's that going for him. it was handled far more rigidly than his overall illegal immigration plans, and that's what he needs right now. it's fine to lean a bit, but keep things as rigid as he can, or it'll come back to bite him. eh, either way, time'll tell i guess.
