Big difference. 

Well, there is something going on with Americans these days and it didn't start with this election.  trump supporters not only hate Hillary Clinton but they also hate her supporters.  The reverse is also true.  So whoever wins, it will be quite hard to unify and govern.

You think he's going to apologise to Khizr 'Kaiser' Khan….you must be dreaming.

 

Why should he?

 

All he commented on was why the guys wife was just standing there silently and questioned whether she was allowed to speak. Strange thing to say…inappropriate, but hardly insulting.

 

I do not care whether Trump apologies for his disgraceful and ignorant comments about the American Muslim Gold Star family. It is you who should apologize for your disgusting slur against them.

 

Ghazala Khan's decision to speak or not to speak was and remains entirely her business and not something for Trump or you to comment on. Trump, in response to this callous, idiotic and infantile slur said that his sacrifices were through his business success. Patently self serving, ignorant and stupid comment. What are your sacrifices that entitle you to judge and insult that Gold Star family based on their ethnicity and stupidly racist assumptions about Ghazala Khan's actions.

Trump never apologized,... he "regrets" the stupid remarks because of the negative effect on his poll numbers. His new campaign team are heavy in the conspiracy business so it looks like its going to be a conspiracy freak show from here on out.

No need to apologize to a shill like Khan.

Trump was eminently correct in calling him out.

Exactly…he wilfully allowed himself to be used as a political pawn…wonder what his reward will be….maybe he gets to set up the sole agency to process pakistani immigration applications…..the money in that is huge.

"Yet Trump uses one every now and then and now and you attack him for it."

Blatant hypocrisy. 

 

That's rich. 

 

Unless of course, if you were the fool who said this:

 

"I've always said, if you run for president, you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters," 

Trump said last year.

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/18/trump-betting-teleprompter-winning-election.html

 

"He then mocked politicians who read off teleprompters before continuing, 

“you shouldn’t be allowed, because you don’t know what you’re going to get."

"No, it’s true. … you don’t want a scripted president.”

Donald Trump scares a lot of people, should I be one of them?

  I wonder if he will actually make it to the end of the election and get voted in as the new President.  I am not sure to be more afraid of him or Hillary as the new leader of the USA and its huge military power, and worry that his ego is still too big for the job.   I also have serious concerns about Hillary, they are different than Donald's

concerns, but I still worry what she would be like as a President.  I guess time will tell and November will eventually arrive.  I also doubt that the Donald or Hillary will be able to tell the Truth all of the time, as so far it has been a stretch for each of them  to do so until now.

Geezer

In the early part of the election season, where states aren't being polled much, national polls are the way to go. But now we've got lots of state polling data. State polls are much more accurate simply by virtue of their being a higher ratio of voters polled to the total number of voters in the states.

Re: Teleprompters

There is nothing unusual about Trump using a teleprompter for a lengthy speech.

What he is incapable of doing is talking ad lib for any period of time without putting his foot in it or repeating himself.

Obama for eight years has held presser after presser on numerous visits around the world, and this is something that, even trying to imagine Trump doing, makes you cringe at the almost certain embarrassment.

 

 

 

Yeah...I hear you, dude.

 

What we need are more of those slick, fast talking politicians.

Trump now says he plans to legalize some undocumented immigrants 

Sources tell Univision that Trump plans to announce a major shift on immigration policy next week.

The Republican candidate met Saturday with Hispanic leaders who said he told them he regrets prior comments about Mexicans. (sub-title)

 

"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include finding a way to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants, according to three people who attended a meeting between the candidate and Hispanic leaders on Saturday at Trump Tower in New York."

 

"If true, Trump's plan would stand in sharp contrast to his previous statements about immigrants during the campaign."

"The possible reversal over immigration policy by the Republican candidate would not be without precedent after Trump has shifted his position on a variety of issues during his campaign from banning Muslims to taxes, minimum wages and and abortion."

Nobody denies that Obama talks the talk. Pity he doesn't actually achieve anything worthwhile.

Trump, on the other hand, has a proven record of actually getting stuff done. I'd rather have a non PC person that makes things than a slick professional politician that talks and does nothing.

Like bankrupting the highly successful business his father left him and stiffing contractors.

*Quote violating Fair Use policy removed*

 

Do you know how Trump got this reputation of "getting stuff done"? It was the New York central park skating rink in the 1980's.

 

 

Since then it has pretty much been a disaster of shoddy accounting practices and underhanded dealings for investors and contractors that have supported  him. This has been thoroughly documented,  but for some reason completely ignored by his supporters.
