  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Shouldn't Trump get some credit?

The media has done a lot of attacking of both candidates but their main focus has been the GOP candidate Trump. Hes been blasted for not acting presidential, but when he acts presidential by going down to meet with Mexico's president hes blasted for it. I talked about this in my post at The Systems Scientist. Let me know what you think.

I would say the exact opposite is happening. If the media was truly calling out Trump for his actions: his courting racists, his hiring advocates for White Supremacists (rebranded alt - right) to run his campaign, his conning of desperate people with Trump University, his taking charity money to pay his legal bills, and on and on and on, this election would be over.

But as tulc so accurately puts it, Trump is the biggest clown in the Republican clown car, and the media is making a fortune...so long as Trump is in the race. As soon as he drops too low in the polls, the clickers quit clicking, the viewers quit viewing, and the goose that laid the golden egg is dead.

Unless you don't think the 24 hour News Stations want to maximize their profit?

Is going to meet with other counties' heads of state before you're even elected "presidential"? Some might call it presumptuous and of little practical value.

I know right ? Looks like Larry Sinclair's sworn testimony of oral sex and acquiring and smoking crack with Obama would have paid off big too though .. Or even his untimely death .. Heck lots of stuff in fact ..

Hmmm, we have a bit of a problem here. You seem to be putting your faith in some looney who said something. Just so you know, there are loonies out there who will tell you they are Napoleon. It doesn't mean they are. Hope that helps.

Even that would sell or should . I do agree he was looney but if he was lying in sworn testimony you'd think they would have hit him with both barrels of perjury instead of sweeping it under the rug , right ? just sayin

Obviously it wasn't swept under the rug, I've heard about this for ages. And what would be the point of going after a looney? It's not like it makes any difference in the scope of things.

As opposed to Trump hiring an advocate for White Supremacists (rebranded alt right) to run his campaign, to Trump running his scam "University", which even his employees agree was a scam, to Trump apparently taking money from a charity to pay his legal bills, to Trump openly courting racists to join his base.

So, let's look at some facts:


Exclusive: Trump supporters more likely to view blacks negatively

Nearly half of Trump's supporters described African Americans as more "violent" than whites. The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.
...

32 percent of Trump supporters placed whites closer to the top level of "intelligence" than they did blacks

So, according to the facts, nearly 1/2 of Trump's supporters are racist. (Hillary nailed it!) And how many lied to the pollster because they were too embarrassed to admit that they were racists?

Fact: According to this poll, if I'm arguing with two Trump supporters, the odds are good that at least one of them is a racist.

I would call that "Deplorable". I would call those people who are racists, nearly half of all Trump supporters, "Deplorable".

How about the sworn testimony that Trump is a paedophile and rapist? How compelling do you find that?

I know, I know, I'm using facts in a Trumpian fact free zone. My bad. Do you have no problems supporting a candidate who has courted racists to such an extent that it can be factually shown that nearly 1/2 their base is racist?

Do you have any problem supporting a candidate who uses suffering children in Syria to further her political campaign? Hillary did that, but of course we'll never see that as a headline.

Apparently Minister Farrakhan kind of likes him also:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-...s/2016/03/louis-farrakhan-donald-trump-220021
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan praised Republican front-runner Donald Trump for refusing donations from Jewish groups.

Trump “is the only member who has stood in front of the Jewish community and said 'I don’t want your money,'” Farrakhan said in a sermon he delivered this week. “Any time a man can say to those who control the politics of America, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t control me. And they can’t afford to give up control of the presidents of the United States.”
tulc(thinks it's always interesting when anti-Semites can agree on something: most of them like Mr Trump) :wave:

I'm thinking since Mr Trump seems to have built most of his campaign on making sure the Syrian children keep right on suffering because, you know: :eek: "TERRORISTS!!!" :mad: that accusation seems a little too...ironic. :sorry:
