Pretty easy to explain why. Political Correctness has fractured the citizens of this country from being just plain Americans into some iteration of hyphenated American and once those groups are established then the process of pitting one against the other ensues. The political class love this and exploit it for all it's worth. After all it's a great way to buy support with other people's money.

I think Putin is a better leader than our current president too, it's unfortunate.

I just noticed that no one has resorted to name calling. Very unusual to have a political debate pop up without it going downhill quickly.
Speaks well for the the people on this forum. |

The Trump rally was terrific. He was on point and focused. The crowd was enthusiastic; there was a lot of energy in the room.

The picture was cropped from a Buffet Sponsored event at a High School in Omaha - local TV reported a crowd of "hundreds"

What's cool about this is that you did the same thing the media did last fall with pics of Sanders and Clinton rallies and the reports of debate 'winners' that contradicted actual polls. I don't care what my students come to believe--not a single one of them knows what my personal beliefs are--but I care very much that they're educated enough to spot manipulative rhetoric before making their decisions.

Also the politician books the "type of event" to fit the expected turnout at said event. Hillary has been appearing other organisation's rallies for as a guest for most of her large turnouts, her events have been more like the one APS posted. Trump on the other hand has been attracting large crowds. You call it manipulation, I see truth. Oh, and I would much rather see you teach your students to ignore the rhetoric completely and go to the source, which is very easy to do now days. Trump's speeches are easily found via youtube in their entirety, as are Hilary's. And, like event attendance the differences are astounding and very unlike what is portrayed in the news. Edit: Woodguy53 post where the picture is from, I hope you are more honest with your students. |

If you are discussing a crowd in NH, you don't post a picture from Omaha to look like a picture from NH, which you did, then pontificate about manipulation and cherry picking images. And Trump's crowd did destroy Hillary's crowd and have been for months..... spin away professor spinmeister, I'm done. |

Key takeaway from the link above: "What it means: While Sanders ability to attract huge crowds is a key narrative of the campaign so far, crowd size is a notoriously imperfect indicator of a candidate's prospects in a coming election. In the days leading up to the 2012 presidential election, Republican nominee Mitt Romney played to roaring crowds in a number of states, including Ohio. On Election Day, he would lose there by more than 100,000 votes." I believe the largest single campaign rally in the U.S. was at Fenway Park in '68 where 60,000+ turned out for our beloved president to-be... .Eugene McCarthy. |

Oh well.....sew buttons and a bag of beans about Hillary! ....and what about Franklin Roosevelt who was president from March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945, when he died at age-63. In April 1921, he was diagnosed with polio at age-39. Television was not here till about 1951, and television would not have been good for Roosevelt. FDR was very good on the radio!
The donald is about 60-lbs overweight as he weighs about 267-lbs, and is 6'2" tall which makes him obese ..... no surprise there ..... just look at him! At age 68 and 70, it sure seems like both Hillary and Donald are both too danged old to be running for president. Ronald Reagan was in better health, it seems, when he started his presidency at age-69, just two weeks before turning 70. www.time.com/4030136/martin-omalley-video/ Would be very surprised to see Hillary or Donald singing on Wall St like this. Here's the guy who the Democrats should have been supporting as a candidate, Martin O'Malley, age-53......who unfortunately went nowhere in the primaries. Plus, he sings and strums a guitar, and does songs like 'What do you do with a drunken sailor?' https://twitter.com/MartinOmalley?re...c%5Egoogle%7Ct

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordell_Hull Big surprise: Secretary of State Cordell Hull, an Episcopalian, was married (1917-1954, her death) to a Jewish woman, Rose Witz, originally from Austria.....and he advised President Roosevelt not to let the M.S. St Louis dock ashore and unload Jewish passengers into the United States. Cordell Hull remains the longest serving secretary of state, for 11-years, from 1933-44. Times have changed since 1939; today's 114th congress, 2015-2017 has 10 Jewish senators, 9-Democrats and 1-independent, and the House of Representatives has 18-Democrats and 1-Republican. Am trying to determine what was number of Jewish senators and congressmen in May, 1939? It had to be much fewer than today? ............. So, how does this relate to today's two candidates, Hillary vs Donald ...... which one is the better choice and why?

Trump on the other hand at least (with no so called "experience") can easily identify who the problem and suggests simply shut the freaking door. Furthermore states that unless or until we are in a position to properly figure out who these people are, where they came from and under what circumstances their entry into this country is beneficial to us, no entry. To that point his ideas of putting some level of scrutiny on those that are already here certainly makes sense as well. Seems pretty darn logical to me... but then again having been to the middle east in the gulf war I saw enough to know that I don't like or want that kind of violent chaos, stone aged culture or their crazy religion (I use that word very loosely) here in the US. We have enough problems already to deal with - why openly import more? |

I think that whoever wins the presidential election in November should get the honor of cutting the hair of the loser. I would love to see what Trump looks like bald.

Hypocritical Bernie... poor guy being manipulated by the corrupt Clinton/DNC juggernaut. I wonder how much it took to pay him off to all of a sudden play nice. He has no creditability on the subject - not that MSNBC has any, oh that's right who watches them anyways? Nobody!
He railed against the establishment, now he praises it, where's his integrity? Oh right can't have that and support Clinton at the same time. |

Bernie just turned 75 this month, and his 6-year senate term runs till the end of 2018. In August, he bought a rustic, older waterfront, summer house on Lake Champlain in North Hero, Vermont with 500' of shoreline.
http://www.heavy.com/news/2016/08/be...c-wife-jane/2/ Wonder what Bernie will get for a boat, and does Lake Champlain have a speed limit? ..... will Bernie be driving a Donzi with a name on the transom such as 'Power to the People' ...... or maybe ...... 'Feel the Bern' ..... budda-boom....budda-boom....budda-boom..... go Bernie go! 'Feel the Bern' would be a super-good name for Bernie's new, used go-fast...... don't u thinkum! One of the photos shows the home is located on somewhat of a point in the shoreline, and there is a long dock with a boat lift and a canopy cover, but no boat is visible .... so that means Bernie needs a boat! .....yup! ..... just like you say Maxum ........ "poor guy" ....... poor poor poooor Bernie!

I think for myself, thank you. Your boy was bashing capitalism all during his campaign. Yet amazingly, as soon as he's snuffed by Clinton and the DNC, he's buying a $600,000.00 lake house? Funny how capitalism ain't so bad when it suits him and his ilk. True hypocrites, and truly deplorable.

O'Meara Sanders said that she had inherited a vacation home in Maine, but the family was unable to make use of it due to its distance from their primary residence in Vermont, so she sold it and used the proceeds to finance the purchase of a more suitable vacation home in North Hero: “My family had a lake home in Maine since 1900, but we hadn’t had the time to go there in recent years — especially since my parents passed away,” she said. “We finally let go of it and that enabled us to buy a place in the islands — something I’ve always hoped for.” |

Do you get your news from CNN, MSNBC, ABS, CBS and the other overtly biased mainstream media that do nothing but provide cover for Clinton? This latest "bombing" incident is a perfect example. She used the word "bombing" at the very same time Trump did. However, CNN chose to edit her statements, thus removing the word "bombing". Then they turned right around and crucified Trump for using the same exact statement she did. Totally pathetic. See, it works both ways. |

http://www.snopes.com/2016/09/14/pol...t-trump-rally/
Nothing even close to this punching assault incident took place at the Laconia rally.....everyone was very well behaved in Laconia ......but not so in Asheville, North Carolina on Sept 12.......go figure? Includes a 1:21 video of the rally crowd and a 68-year old woman holding a 'Dump Trump' sign and hooked up to a portable oxygen breather tank supposedly getting punched out by a 73-year old man.......is a little chaotic during the assault punch out. So, all things considered.....Laconia was an incident free Donald Trump rally.......way to go Laconia! Supposedly, according to the report, she said to him something like; "With Trump, you will soon be talk'n Russian" or something, and he immediately hit her. Apparently, her comment struck a sensitive issue with him, and he smacked her .... and now he has a big legal problem with local justice system. Wonder if the case will be heard by a jury, or by a single judge?
