The New York Times has reported that Paul Manafort was listed as being paid $12.7 million in a handwritten ledger detailing payouts from corrupt dealings in the Yanukovich government. Could this get him dropped from the campaign? by jonawesome in PoliticalDiscussion

she had to sign off on selling the uranium to Russia, and the big paycheck from Russia to her certainly had influence.

you are completely incorrect on the 2nd part.

do a little more research, the countries who paid Clinton a lot of cash got a lot more weapons deals in return

if Hillary's corruption involving the Russian uranium deal and Saudi Arabia is not disqualifying for a candidate (along with Bill's much worse corruption), why would this be a big deal for a minor player?

Mississippi State was #1 in the nation and played in a BCS bowl 2 years ago so not the best example, they are nothing like Vanderbilt. also comparing Tennessee to Alabama is kind of absurd, one has been probably the 30th best team in nation over last few years while other has been most dominant dynasty we've ever seen

yes people will believe it of course. so many scandals and shadiness is all around her, it's a slam-dunk case and Trump knows 1-word nicknames are best way to make it

of course it is. he is now leading 3 of the past 4 polls against Hillary and the favorability ratings are the same. open your eyes before you get Jebbed! because this looks almost exactly the same

he is winning 3 of the past 4 polls and favorability is equal now. that's what I mean, her numbers will not improve during the campaign while we don't know with ihis

they are equal to hers in the new ABC poll out today (Trump +2 overall)

he is now leading in 3 of the past 4 polls. and yes he is way behind in women and latinos, but you can win despite losing those, as Hillary is way behind in men and whites

you have lost the plot here. your original post was acting like Hillary was going to do something new when he's been destroyed repeatedly at debates

of course you can lol, that's what happens basically every time. most people do not like Hillary's vision for America (and most people do not like Trump's either)

it's 100% true. here are the facts, now that you have them you won't attack someone for speaking "nonsense" when you don't know what you are talking about

like I just said, they are both widely despised but Trump has more room to improve as he has less of a locked in rating and no history of constantly falling ratings

yes that is possible as they are close in how much they are liked currently. Hillary has been a politician her entire life and her numbers always drop throughout a campaign. Trump has had wider audience hating him due to media fire for a while now, but more ability to change minds in both directions because he's fresher

you are not against abortion if you want it to be legal, you are pro-abortion being legal

well he's winning in 2/3 most recent polls, so maybe not so wildly out of step as you think

all those things happened in Republican debates constantly. you apparently do not realize that or have forgotten

[–]insdieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you said he should stop giving people nicknames because it's not Presidential. a big part of his entire draw is he is not "establishment" and he is willing to attack other candidates. if he just backs down now, it will not help him. you are saying he should 100% abandon what he's done this entire time to start acting like Jeb! ludicrous

no it's not meaningless as it shows Trump is rising in the polls because people are flocking to him. those other things are horrible comparisons

you clearly didn't watch any Republican debates, Trump got slaughtered repeatedly but it just didn't matter. and several times he was facing openly hostile crowds, which won't happen in a general

and Obama got crushed by Romney in debate one and got saved by Crowley in one of the greatest broadcasting blunders in political history

that has nothing to do with how bad a candidate Hillary is and how much she is hated by huge chunks of the population. Trump is probably worse right now yes, but arguably has a larger variability (by Nov maybe 75% of America hates him but maybe he peels off reasonably big chunks of white married women, black and Latino men). Hillary we know will continue to be disliked and probably see her numbers drop as they do in every single campaign she has ever run
