He may indeed win.......and still only needs 270 EV's to do it......but I don't know how he "smokes" Hillary assuming her current support (women and minorities, especially blacks and Latinos) holds together and actually votes. Meanwhile, while I appreciate his speech last night fired-up his current constituency (pissed-off older white men) I myself don't know yet to what extent his message crosses over. But if Trump did nothing else, he probably convinced close to 100% of that current support to actually go to the polls and vote rather than sit out this election.

But whether or not you're interested in what she has to say (and I know you will be) Hillary does get the last word next week......which, after recent conventions, seems to make a difference. Maybe that won't be the case this year.



Just curious how many "lockstep liberals" you've "talked to" since Trump walked off the dais 12 hours ago. For the record, I live in the blood reddest area of the State of Ohio....an area which should be waving Trump flags and doing back flips this morning......and I haven't spoken with a single individual who liked, disliked, or was neutral about Trump's speech.

Of course, maybe you were speaking figuratively and not literally (or maybe you just know more people than I do). :wink:

Even though his speech isn't going to change my vote, I appreciated his attempt to be more inclusive tone towards groups other than the typical "old white men" stereotype that GOP gets labeled with.

"As a Republican, I'm so happy to hear you cheering for what I just said," he said.

That was one of the few times I've seen him on stage giving a speech where he truly seems sincere. This notion that he's a far right bigot/racist doesn't hold water with his personal history.

I agree with your comments about him having some more inclusive comments last night, and I admit, I was shocked when I saw some people at the GOP convention actually applauding. There were still a lot of people gritting their teeth.

But make no mistake about it, he was just saying that to get more votes. Make no mistake about it, he is a bigot, a racist and a misogynist.

"A person who is very flat chested is very hard to be a 10." –Donald Trump

"Women: You have to treat them like s--t." –Donald Trump

"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America." –Donald Trump

"Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" –Donald Trump on Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever." –Donald Trump, insulting Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly over questions she asked during the first Republican primary debate

"I think the only card she has is the women's card. She has got nothing else going. Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she would get 5% of the vote. And the beautiful thing is women don't like her, ok?" –Donald Trump, victory press conference, New York, April 26, 2016

“You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ***.”

"Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” Trump reportedly said. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

Seriously? You are going to try to argue he's not a racist/bigot and a misogynist?

I'll give you misogynist, I don't agree with the racist and the bigot aspect of your argument. And frankly, outside of the Megyn Kelly and Carly Fiorina statements, I don't really care about the rest of it. I flat out don't believe the last one.

With those quotes? I'm certainly not going to claim he's a racist or a bigot.

What does his record show when it comes to hiring and paying women?

And yes... all Hillary has is the gender card, and she has played it from very very early on.

For crying out loud....it's the Washington Post and totally taken out of context. I'm sure you are aware of some of the same type quotes I have posted from Hillary Clinton. If Trump is guilty...so is Hillary.

No. The quote said: "Trump reportedly said..." I think he might have said something close or hell maybe he did say in a moment of levity. Just more of the same from the left though, create victims and offenders of political correctness. You guys have gone to that well too many times. I'm tone deaf to it as are many people in this country anymore. Speak out against something and honestly...bam!!! racist/xenophobe/islamophobe/misogynist/homophobe basically faux outrage. I'm not a racist, I don't fear outsiders, I have no issues with Muslims, and I love women. I do have a problem with inner city violence and I think the policies of the left and the leaders of those cities do nothing but take advantage of their constituency. I do have a problem with open borders and people not following our laws. I do have a problem with radical Islam. I do look at every woman differently than I do a man. I don't want to have sex with men. I think women should be treated equally in every facet. When that occurs though, most don't like that. I don't have any issue with LGBTQ community.

Why do you always try to reason and explain you positions with some of our liberal friends? I gave that up after about two weeks after dealing with some of these close minded zealots.

Farrah Fawcett rule the roost of 70's eye-candy for a decade on just nipples alone. Mom's Mabley once looked down Farrah's dress on Carson and said "You poor girl. Nothin' but a pair of fried eggs, sunnyside up".
