Donald Trump Just Wants To Ruin The World

Postby New Jerzylvania » Thu Jun 09, 2016 9:13 am

"Donald Trump Just Wants To Ruin The World" ~ (apologies to Tears for Fears)

Welcome to Trump's life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
He will find you

Acting on his worst behavior
Turns his back on mother nature
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world

It's his own design
He has no remorse
He alone decides
Money matters most

Of freedom and his pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Cuffing wrists while the wall is constructed
When they do I'll be right behind you

So sad Trump’s all just Bullshit
So sad he just can't stop it
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world

I can't stand his lame decisions
Elected with a lack of vision
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world
I say we never never never never need him
Racist headlines why deny it ?
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world

End of your freedom and pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Donald Trump just wants to ruin the world

Were I a Republican, I'd probably be missing Jeb. Rubio wasn't ready in my estimation. Sure Jeb never seemed to want the job, but he wouldn't be a train wreck.

I don't miss him all too much, he was a mediocre governor and a mediocre statesman who had his life handed to him on a silver platter. Rubio, meh, I'd have voted for him. I'm glad Cruz is gone, though, really, he was the worst of all 17 candidates. I mean, it's not just his inane religious right policies, it's the fact that hes desperate for power, he's a little weasel.

I miss Rand, I was down with him. I had disagreements with him, but if I voted for him, it would have been a happy vote, not a vote where I need a barfbag.

Well of course, you support Trump. I mean, Cruz had a terrible foreign policy, but at least he never rarely contradicted himself and payed lip service to the constitution.

Elizabeth "Pocohontas" Warren has already taken a huge chunk of his scalp... not that the orange wirebasket provided any real obstacle to her.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Support is the wrong word, I just think I'll vote for him simply because I'm afraid of letting Arizona swing blue. Maybe it's selfish, but I don't want to waste a vote so to speak.

Cruz and Trump were, after all, some of my last choices in the primary. That, and Huckabee etc, but they don't count.

Sympathy For The Donald

Postby New Jerzylvania » Fri Jun 10, 2016 10:14 am

"Sympathy For The Donald” ~ Apologies to The Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's cash and faith

And I was 'round when Jebbie Bush
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure low energy
Trashed his brand and sealed his fate

Pleased to tweet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around New York City
When I saw it was a time to cash in
Built my place with gangster friends
Got tax breaks that are evil sins

I think I’m swank
Got loans from the bank
When the housing crash raged
And the market tanked

Pleased to tweet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While Foxy media queen
Bled from every place
Oh! the points I made

I shouted out,
"Who died in Bengazi?”
When after all
It was Hillary

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for Cruz and Rubio
Who got beat before they had their say

Pleased to tweet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to tweet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every rich man's a criminal
And all the Dem's are saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Donald Trump

And I'm in need of some restraint
So if you tweet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll tweet your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to tweet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah

But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me Hillary, can ya guess my name

Tell me Hillary, what's my name
I tell you each time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who

Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, Bernie, what's my name

Tell me, Pocohontas, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Oh, yeah!

Hell has frozen over - Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. Who could have predicted that last summer? Not even Donald Trump.

Romney only won Georgia by less than 300,000 votes in 2012. That could easily be lost if Trump does something to totally piss off black voters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state)#Elections

You mean the 20% of Hispanic Arizonians that are actually legal? Good luck to them, it ain't happening.

I thought Hispanic Arizonan made up 30% of the potential electorate. they have dismal voting rates so I don't see why it couldn't move the democratic vote over the top if they got registered and actually voted against Donald trump.

My own map keeps Georgia red—tentatively. It's a state that was already promising to go swing in 2020 or 2024—Trump could easily accelerate this trend if the significant Hispanic minority in the state decides to register and vote.
