Discussion: Trump: I Didn't Know Hand-Raising Pledge At Rallies Was A Problem (VIDEO)

Esp coupled with the threat that you will be beaten if you don’t raise your hand!

Short sleeves, no sleeves, eating veggies, exercising, playing golf, being tan, letting a Queen touch their person, blah, blah, blah, blah. But, and a very important one I think, one thing you almost never see, any mention of how absolutely gorgeous she looks, and dresses, and acts all the time.

Not a problem. :blush:. I’m just so tired of politicians on BOTH sides. I actually like Bernie Sanders too.

Our country is in serious trouble after 8 years of Bush and the nightmare war in Iraq and 8 years of Obama who can’t even call ISIS what they are, Islamic Exteremists.

Hillary is a mess, and would only give us 4 more years of Obama.

And Ted Cruz is so far right, not to mention playing dirty tricks sabotaging others campaigns, yet claims to be such a great Christian.

Rubio is controlled by PACs and again, we will get more of the same.

Yes, I did. I was surprised to read all the negative posts and wanted to comment.

I find some of Donald Trumps supporters disgusting. I do not support hatred of any kind. The media focuses on those ignorant supporters at his rally’s.

I just wanted to share, that there are many, positive people like me who support him.

I believe he wants to make this country better. He didn’t have to do this. Again, I believe he is a very good person, which is reflected in his well educated, successful, well spoken children.

Sure he’s flawed. All of the candidates have baggage except Bernie Sanders who I would be supporting, but I don’t feel he’s great with economics.

As far as the photo of the people pledging to vote for him in the I can visually see what people are talking about. You can twist things to fit certain narratives. However, I strongly feel there is nothing to this.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I’ll check back here for any messages.

Good luck to everyone and have a great day.

Hey, they asked for it by embracing Tea Party nuts.

No, Trump is not going to have secret camps where people get gassed. This is conspiracy nut stuff the equivalent of Jade Helm. NO different.

Really? If this incident had occurred in a vacuum without everything else that’s happened around Trump’s candidacy, it might merit a pass. However, in the context of all the other things Trump has said and done: ie. the racism, the demonization of minorities, the call for violence against those who oppose him, kicking black people out of his rallies, the the absolute gutter trash that comes out of his mouth. In this context yes, forcing all his followers to raise their right hands and vow their undying fealty to him? That DOES smack of fascism.

And when fascism does come to America wearing orange skin with bad hair, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Really, so calling ISIS “Islamic Extremists” will suddenly make them disappear? Are those some sort of magic words that ISIS cannot handle? And people like you seem to forget that we are dropping tons of bombs onto their heads DAILY, and their advance was stopped months ago. You cannot fix a problem like ISIS over night, and you cannot fix the problem by proclaiming “Radical Islamic Extremism”. Get real.

Why don’t you let people think for themselves, who are you to tell them what to think? Some agree, some disagree. Get over it. In fact, you sound like Trump himself, telling people there is only one way to think. I am offering an opinion, not telling people how to think.

Really? How come I have seen numerous comments over the months from people saying Trump is capable of doing all the stuff Hitler did, such as gassing people secretly right here in this comment section?

You don’t find that a little nutty, fine. I do. But let other people decide for themselves, you nor I are “the authority”. So it’s not a “threadjack” when I address people who compare Trump to Hitler. Glen Beck did the SAME THING and we all called it nuts, as it was. But the reality is that expanding national health care and having youth programs expansion (aka “controlling the youth” by the nuts) are in fact things Hitler did. So in the same respect, Obama is like Hitler using this insane logic.

And you totally ignore my main point, that this stupidity actually HELPS Trump. He is loving this. And you are feeding him.

Gee, not to strike a less than welcoming note to the new poster or anything but we’ve seen all this before like eleventy dozen times. The system is loaded with antibodies that can detect and neutralize people who aren’t quite what they present themselves as, and even if you’re sincerely what you’re presenting yourself as you may not find a lot of people intrigued by your ideas or interested in subscribing to your newsletter. Hate to harsh your mellow but it’s been a tough week so far. In conclusion, let me say that I think approximately 100 percent of the posters here regard your boy as a mentally ill buffoon who presents the greatest potential catastrophe to this society since the Civil War. You might do better at a mainstream news comment section or something. Just sayin’.

I don’t care what political damage Drumpf is doing to the GOP (though I think that is a good thing in that I am a proud Democrat). That is not what this discussion is about nor what I am talking about. And I will repeat, you are missing the forrest for the trees because of the authoritarian impulses Drumpf is tapping into and what is has already allowed as “acceptable” political discourse and the actions his supporters are already engaged in. It is dangerous, it is ugly, and that is what this topic and discussion is about.

Not the topic of discussion.

Pretty much all of them.

Gee. Signed up to TPM just to post that.

Then you are an idiot.

And you’ve totally ignored mine, which is that this thread is about a news item, or was until you introduced a series of posts none of which were addressed to the topic. For the rest, all I can say is whatever. I’ve made my points and I’m outta here. Please try to overcome your usual reticence by having the last word.

No you are (both) right. Soon after I posted I recalled a specific and hand related example: the “terrorist fist bump” of course. The “outrage” will be televised…constantly, if you don’t count commercials for gold investments.

I’ll leave you guys to be negative and hate. It’s sad that you’re so cynical, unwilling to discuss anything with an open mind.

This is a very unwelcoming board. I’m sad I wasted my time. The last thing I want to do is argue with anyone.

Peace

Oh dearz. The troll who signed up two hours ago to defend the bigoted racist dipshit Drumpf got his fee fees hurt.

Umm, when did I ever way I was a racist? #NOH8

And yes, I don’t like being attacked

Umm, when did anyone say you did?

I stated he was a racist POS (as do most sane people) and you created your account, and posted here to defend him. Deal with it.
