Rumors Abound that Trump Supporters Will Turn to Violence

I'm not suggesting that I am going to the convention and storming the place with an AR-15--I'm going to plant my ass here on PF and vent instead.

That being said, I am not opposed to using violence in an extralegal context, in principle. I know some of you have no stomach for violence, even in cases where it is justified, but I do. There are people in the world who cannot be reasoned with and who have no empathy. These people will try to screw you, hurt you, and ruin you for the sake of personal gain. Many of them happen to be our leaders.

Ferguson? I've never been happy with any of that. The state of the black community is pretty sad and nothing to be hateful about. Wary maybe, but not hateful.

 

Nobody said anything about taking away democracy. You aren't electing your leaders in a party primary. The parties are picking the candidate who will represent them in the election.

For most of this country's history, there were no primaries at all. The party bosses and elected officials in each state negotiated who they were going to support among themselves and that's who they voted for in the convention.

Indeed, not only are primaries NOT mentioned in the Constitution (nor are political parties), but no state held a primary before 1910.

Which makes your claim about "taking away democracy" nonsense.

 

No, no violence, at least not a lot. If Trump doesn't get the nomination he will run as third party, that is all.

And in any case Hillary will be Ms. President by February of 2017

You guys are just going to have to put up with good government, lower taxes on everybody but multibillionaires, less wars and terrorism for the next 8 years whether you want to or not, but don't feel bad. Maybe we'll be fed up with prosperity and freedom by 2024, you can always hope

 

Yes, Trump had them outnumbered 1 to 16!

 

Here is a trivia question for you. Which election saw only democrats on the ticket and how many were there?

 

You're getting away from his point, which is that it's very anti-democratic, regardless of whether or not the process is legislated. Selecting a nominee who didn't have popular support, after all of this, would reflect a total disregard for the general public and prove what we have been saying about the country all along. We are sick of these people and want them out.

 

lets say that trump gets 51% of the delegates and you still let the bosses select the candidates then yes you are taking away democracy.

i cant believe people are ok with this.

 

That is kind of ironic. There has many times when I thought of Hillary Clinton, Richard Nixon always pops into my mind. Both were more or less power hungry and both thought/think they are above the law. Both are/were willing to do what ever it takes to gain the seat of power.

 

Well, ya, they aren't the smartest segment of America, just the most easily lead....and their leader, Wealthy God Trump, TELLS them to commit violence against other Americans who disagree with Trump.....and they will do anything for a man who said his daughters figure is so good he'd like to "marry" her himself.

 

I heard Hillary is a liar and her decisions led to people's deaths, then she lied to the faces of the family members about why and how it happened. Ooops, never mind, that's not just a rumor. She's being investigated by the FBI.=)

 

No, not staying at 35%. But there were two polls done giving Republicans a choice in two heard to head match up. Trump vs. Cruz and Trump vs. Rubio. So in a two candidate race Cruz and Rubio both beat Trump.

Trump's problem is between 30-35% of all republicans view him in an unfavorable light and most of those have vowed never to vote for him. But Trump has a very solid, loyal base of supporters larger then the other candidates. Especially when there are still 3 other candidates. I think it is very much to Trump's advantage to keep the multi field of presidential hopefuls as long as possible. He has that solid support base which will always be there for him and it is enough to continue to win primaries.

As for his limit, I suppose he has one. Every candidate has a limit which they can't go any higher. But as the field has narrowed, Trump has been pretty steady at or around 35%. But all we got rid of were the candidates in single digits and Trump had peeved off some of their supporters with negative personal attacks like his feud with Bush.

 

And you couldn't find any of the many threads on Clinton ? Really? how hard could it be?

You had to go off topic here WHY? Because your God Trump was publically ON CAMERA screaming to his lapdogs to commit violence against any protester and you are desperately trying to change the topic?


Admit he and his followers love violence, , be proud of it , don't hide behind "but Hillary wahhhh"


The topic is, Rumors Abound that Trump Supporters Will Turn to Violence ......in English and quite clear.....

 

at the end of the day though you actually need to have the one on one to see what the actual result is. I mean the argument against trump has always been when you add x + y + z togheter they will beat him. It has been that way since htey were 15.

 

In the French Revolution, it was the Donald Trump's who were guillotined. Analogy to French Revolution doesn't really fit.

 

There is a solid support base of 65% that won't vote for him. If he could garner a bigger support base, he already would have. No one at this stage of the game is going to change their opinion and vote for Trump. His 'appeal' has been maxed out. IMO

 

His repugnancy just keep getting bigger.

 

Only 35% of the voters on the right want Trump. Sixty-five percent of voters on the right will NOT vote for Trump, and very few on the left will vote for him. It is not exactly like America has reached a consensus, and the big shots are taking it away from us. The will of the people includes all of the people, not just 35% of them.

 

Trump is an odd, exceedingly boastful, crass character. If he hasn't attracted the attention of voters yet, he won't when the choice is between 2 candidates. I suspect trump has reached his limit.

 

I only mention it because of the absurdity of the OP. Didn't want to change the topic. Just calling out the stupidity of it. Sort of like someone claiming I heard Obama was a Muslim. Pretty stupid thing to say, right?

And who says I'm voting for Trump? Never said it. I know you're voting for Hillary though...speaking of lapdogs.

 

You confused you #BLM friends talking about burning down their own hoods.

 

No, it was the establishment that was guillotined.

The Trump movement is very much like the French Revolution. In spirit, at least.

 

in that case you have nothing to worry about. There is still a lot of states left and kasich and rubio are about to drop out. Cruz will run the table

 

Yup, all these "rumors" that Trump supporters are supposedly going to be doing...

And if we only go back a dozen or so years, to see how the Left actually reacted towards the President back then:

 

"Rumors Abound that Trump Supporters Will Turn to Violence"

Been watching the news lately? Rumors? "Will turn," as in in the future?

They already have, with hamster head's encouragement.
