Capitol Hill Blue Forums Hot Topics & Breaking News News Trump's Trumpet

I predict Trump will actually figure out a way to cast the very debates themselves as an attack on his credibility, and a willing and compliant media (my real term omitted to comply with RR guide) will legitimize his faux outrage.

"How DARE she impugn my patriotism by having the GALL to demand a DEBATE?"

"If she tries to debate, she's not going to make the case for her candidacy, she will use the debates to open her pockets to help RIG THE ELECTION!!"

"What do we need to hear from Crooked Hillary that we haven't already heard before? My voters and her voters have already made up their minds, so a debate is just theater."
(So sayeth the MASTER of said "theater")

Not kidding, I think he will actually pull it off.
She will not get the chance to debate him.

Maybe she can debate an empty chair?

Now Kellyanne is saying that she is running the campaign and that Brannon is simply a "consultant."

This gets better every day!

I believe that Bannon was brought into the campaign for two reasons: First, because Trump likes to surround himself with people who stroke his ego; second, because he wants to get started on "Trump TV."

Brannon, Hannity, and Ailes. Yup, Trump TV is coming soon (...after Trump gets a shellacking by Hillary in November! )

Sorry to do this but it needs to be said:
The atmosphere in the United States is starting to resemble pre-Nazi Germany right before the Reichstag bombing, or maybe right around the time of the infamous "Beer Hall Putsch".
And I predict that WIN or LOSE, Trump supporters WILL become VERY VIOLENT and regardless of your position on guns, you would be well advised to prepare in some way no matter which way the election goes.
If Trump WINS, supporters will feel entitled to embark on a type of Kristallnacht style "cleansing" as part of their perceived "mandate" because they have been told in no uncertain terms by their Cheeto Savior to "make America great again", and for most of them that starts with attacking, eliminating or outright exterminating all objectionable and undesirable people.
If Trump LOSES, supporters will STILL embark on "days of rage" style violence to take out their frustrations, for a variety of reasons, ranging from perceived "rigged elections" to a mandate for "Second Amendment Types" to remedy the electoral loss, which is entirely unacceptable to them, to undertaking what THEY believe is their moral imperative to prevent the machinery of democracy to move forward, because democracy is not to be trusted in the hands of anyone who dares to vote for Hillary Clinton.
So, WIN OR LOSE, expect varying levels of violence from Trump supporters.

In EU and UK, senseless white rioting usually takes place during soccer matches. All other riot style activity is usually political.
Here we do not have "soccer hooligans" but "football violence" is on the uptick inside the stadiums.
It has not reached NEAR the proportions or levels reached overseas however.

But I predict that a Trump loss WILL trigger the kind of mayhem normally associated with "soccer hooligans" only with the added flavor of GUN violence on top of it.
And NATURALLY Trump and his right wing media will desperately attempt to portray it as "leftist violence".

The BBC ran a good article chronicaling the development of the "Hillary health" Meme: Hillary health myth: From Twitter theories to a Trump speech.

Kevlar vests?

Hey, if the police and National Guard have to confront some of the more extreme Trump supporters, all to the good. Felons don't get to vote! They don't get to own guns either, once they get out of prison.

If some people want violent revolution, the punishment is prison or death.

And I think the vast majority of police, the National Guard, and the military will follow orders from the chain of command.
