Is Trump really a serious contender for the Republican nomination? - Page 182

Rob Instigator · 03.13.2018, 10:53 AM

he fired Tillerson because of Tillerson's agreement with our UK allies and his denouncement of Russian assassination attempt on British soil. Trump, and his lackey son, have a multi-million dollar real estate deal with Russia/Putin.

Pompeo? By all accounts he admires Trump; is for the most part on the same page. He’s been briefing the president daily. They have, as Trump said himself on Tuesday morning, “chemistry.” When I think about what kind of man it takes to develop “chemistry” with Donald Trump, and realize that that man is about to be the United States’ top diplomat, it somehow leaves me less than reassured.

I honestly wasn't making a joke. I am genuinely shocked he's briefed daily. Like, every day? I still find that hard to believe.

Rob Instigator · 03.13.2018, 02:32 PM

he is briefed for 30 minutes, using as many images and graphs and charts as possible. Trump is nearly aliterate, or maybe severely dyslexic.

Most Presidents before Trumpo had 3-4 hour briefings every morning.

neither was I, as Rob detailed out

Skuj · 03.13.2018, 03:56 PM

Tillerson was too intelligent, careful, and thoughtful to be a Trumpman. I suppose nobody should be surprised by his firing, but we should all be worried.

How about Pennsylvania then?

Skuj · 03.13.2018, 03:59 PM

I'm convinced that Pence takes on the lions share of the daily intel. Pence scares me even more than Trump. If Trump goes, it gets even worse, imho. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

One day, this will all be over.

yes. i don’t like “hoping” but regardless, we have to wait out the historical pendulum

but holy fuck, what a wait

Skuj · 03.13.2018, 05:24 PM

It might even be 2 terms, the way things are going. How does Trump still have 35%? New headlines keep shouting "Trump in dumpster at 35%", but if he has even that level of support after all this, then my hopes for a quick turnaround are shattered. And I'm not seeing Dems effectively presenting themselves as The Answer as we approach the middle of 2018. This is such a dark period for America and The World.

Still...how are things in Pennsylvania today?

!@#$%! · 03.13.2018, 05:37 PM

im agnostic as to the future. when hillary was ahead i always said it ain't over till it's over. suchfriends who had been an adamant denier had a reality shock on election day and stopped posting altogether on this board since then.

but yes he could conceivably get a 2nd term. his core won't abandon him no matter what so all he has to conquer is a small increase from there. and as you know it's all about the electoral college not absolute majority (it's a federal system).

so... yeah you're right the democrats are not offering any kind of answer right now, at least to the general public. the democrats are the arsene wenger of american politics.

anyway in pennsatucky it's too close to call and too early to tell as far as i know. polls close 8pm east, not sure where in canuckistan are you relative to that.

Skuj · 03.13.2018, 06:28 PM

Thanks. I'm west coast. 30min from this posting. If Dems win at least I can smile a bit today, in the face of all things Trumpian.

Skuj · 03.13.2018, 06:30 PM

Pompeo as Secretary Of State...... The more that sinks in the more depressed I am.

yeah, so voting closes at 5pm your time, not sure when the election will be called but while on a normal situation i’d give it till next day here a recount is likely to be demanded no matter what, considering the current climate.

as for the pompeo-induced depression, you’re lucky to be north of the border. then again you’re also part of NORAD so ayayay. yeah. depressing.

I feel like hibernating. Wake me up when he loses the 2020 election (fingers crossed) or the golden shower tape is released, whichever comes first.
