Trump is not going to get the female vote

Well if he can pull a looker like the current missus Trump how can you be so sure about his appeal to women?

The average female voter is going to be seduced by the lifestyle his billions can give her?

Rubbish.Like most human beings faced with a complex problem they instinctively moved the problem on,hoping someone else would deal with it,not thinking through the full implications.Mistaken,misguided but not facilitating child abuse.

The fact is a catholic cleric had the courage to deal with the problem head on,so regardless of the reaction of a few out of touch clerics around him,a church member did what was right.Thats what I call a result.

If that's the case, the church hierarchy must have been packed with people of below average intelligence if they had no clue that a child abusing priest might hurt other kids if moved on.

Totally agree, how anyone can stomach that stuff

I think everyone before you was lamenting the fact that its a problem all through the game, with all teams.

If you really want to turn it into a "my team is better than your's" pissing match, there's plenty of footage out there of United players.

And yet another fail for the right wing with the Planned Parenthood foetal body parts "controversy".

Texas, of all places, came up with only criminal charges for the makers of the videos! Planned Parenthood cleared of wrongdoing... again!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/01/28/texas-da-i-m-pro-life-but-the-law-is-the-law.html

These charges and the murders at the clinic in Colorado are about the only concrete results of this fraudulent video campaign.

The righ hates Clinton and will vote for anyone other than that piece of shit, the lefties will do the same to whatever republican gets through, this is the weakest pool running for the highest office I have ever seen.
Core GOP and Dem are 40% each
The winner has to get the don't knows Last time that was women and Latinos

Trump is not going to get the female vote

He's not doing himself any favours with Latinos either with his Mexican rapists and "big beautiful wall" at the border, paid for by Mexicans, rhetoric.

A Georgia state representative (and more alarmingly, former school history teacher) had the following to say:

The Klan "was not so much a racist thing but a vigilante thing to keep law and order.... It made a lot of people straighten up...I'm not saying what they did was right. It's just the way things were."

He also says the civil war "was not fought over slavery"

Do we need more than one guess to figure out which party he belongs to? :P

This "there was contact" line trotted out anytime a soft penalty is given drives me potty. Seems to be this view that a forward is virtually untouchable in the box  *


* except before a corner or free kick when MMA rules seem to apply.

Indeed. Is riding a tackle a lost art now?

Maradona did plenty of shit wrong, but if some of these lads had to take a fraction of the abuse and tackling he had to take and hurdle over before winning a free, they'd be in traction in the hospital.

Would you see any of these boys do what Claudio Caniggia did in 1990 v Cameroon, when he rode the first tackle, stumbled on after the second one, and got cleaned out by the third! Ronaldo and the boys would have been gone to ground after the first!

Any thoughts on the Trump = Clinton double agent theory? It appears to have some merit although Trump's Muslims out rhetoric would seem to be too far fetched if he truely was a puppet.

No, Trump is an egomaniac who would NEVER be anyone's puppet. On the other hand, he hardly seems like a true believer. Instead, he (correctly) saw his best chance of progress in pushing the buttons of the Republican base, whether or not he personally believes in or cares about half the shit he says.

Is there a real threat that Trump could become Prez?
He makes Dubya seem normal.....

People seem to be stating his business acumen as a reason why they would vote for him.
I think that is a complete joke tbh. The man made millions starting off with millions. If I had millions id make millions as well! Only I wouldn't go bankrupt and have to start again which seems to be what happened to him (Im not sure on the complete ins & outs of this).

It's a lesson in hate speech and propaganda. They showed it clearly last night. His publlic appearances are pep rallies for the wall and anti Muslim sentiment while he has no real policies or plan for what he's going to do when he gets into power.

Everyone who is running against him is weak and a loser which makes the nutters think he's strong when in reality he's not. I read a great analogy about him "A student who hasn't read the book but is convinced he can ace the test". . . The biggest and easiest one to take on is the military. He says he's going to rebuild the US military so they are so big that we never have to use it. The US military is the biggest and best in the World by some distance what exactly is he going to do to change that?!!

I'm getting more worried by the day that his empty rhetoric is going to win him the Nomination and then the Presidency and these are scary times if that is the case!!!


Bollocks, you are deflecting, all you want is a left wing nut in,place for four more years of misery.

I'm sorry you're miserable stew.

What would you have the next president do to change that? What will Trump or Cruz do or not do, as opposed to Hillary.

Yes, it is shockingly poor!

Hillary can thank her lucky stars that the Democrats had no genuine up and coming stars this time around. At least Sanders is there to give her some kind of run for her money, for whatever that is worth. But Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb?? :o

And on the other side, to think the right wing were gloating a couple of years ago about the superb "deep bench" of candidates they would have to choose from this time around! ;D

Although in reality, its not going to be that funny at the end of the day if Trump or even Cruz are elected president. Say what you will about Hillary, but she will be fairly pragmatic and pretty much a status quo president. The big issue, health care, has been done. Who the hell knows what's in store if Trump or Cruz get in?!!

I fear that the kind of mind that is attracted to the hateful rhetoric of Trump would find his abuse of his wife not reprehensible but the opposite.


Wheres the outrage at Hillary for enabling a serial sexual abuser and sexual predator for decades?

Where's the outrage at Hillary attacking and bellittling his accusers?

Democrats are the biggest fvcking hypocrites in the world.....Ted Kennedy re elected own and time again after leaving a young woman to drown while he slink away into the night to save his skin

How the hell did she "enable" his supposed "sexual abuse" and "predation"?

And what abuse are you talking about? That he is a serial philanderer is established (like half the politicians in DC). That he raped or otherwise abused anyone is not, outside of the right wing talk radio bubble, that is. Even Ken Starr wouldn't touch Juanita Broderick FFS.

As for hypocrisy, there's been plenty of lowlifes reelected repeatedly on the Republican side too. Kennedy certainly one of the, if not the, worst case, but there's plenty to go around. When it comes down to a choice between holding your nose to empower your own side politically at the expense of the other side, people generally side with policy over character. That probably comes with the two party set-up. There's a lot at stake if a senate seat or two go the other way. When a major national office like president is on the line, they're a little more discriminating in terms of character.

Shhhhh whitey, these libtardz will not stand for anything other than blind faith to the liberal cause, most of these clowns have never spent more than two weeks stateside but by God they are experts on all things yankee, Hillary strap on Clinton is an enemy of women's rights but these f**kers on here can justify anything for their liberal cause, they sicken me.

Lol.

I love how you pretend you give a shite about women's rights yet abuse Clinton regularly in the most sexist and misogynistic terms. Are you Rush Limbaugh?

And I love how you follow me around like a most puppy.

As for women's rights, they should have the same rights as afforded men, period, end of.

Your hero Hillary is no friend to weeks rights, look at what she had to say about her husband's victims/lovers.

Let me be equally arbirtrary, are you Karl Marx.

Well, just what DID she have to say that was so outrageous?

So, lads and lassies, if Bloomberg does throw his hat into the ring, which party is hurt more?  My gut reaction is that the Dems have more to lose.  Business-friendly but socially liberal, he is not well received outside NY, it seems to me, so I think he'd be more likely to poach votes from Clinton and definitely Sanders, and abracadabra, let me introduce to you President Trump or President Cruz.  Horrorshow!

I would agree. All it will take is one mention of supersized soft drinks and the average GOP voter will be up in arms about the nanny state. This despite him being a completely pro-development Wall St dude. I guess he espouses those New York values that Cruz doesn't like!

I thought he did a very good job as mayor of NYC. I actually voted for him, despite the R after his name! :P
