Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Omigod more dems who support racist Bberg! This party is awful! Bernie or bust!

Oh wait these are black politicians. Never mind.

Rep. Gregory Meeks, who is chairman of the Queens County Democratic Party, joined two other members of the Congressional Black Caucus to officially endorse Bloomberg. Another black elected official from New York came out in support on Thursday as well: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren. Outside of his home state, Bloomberg has racked up endorsements from black elected officials, including Mayors Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, London Breed of San Francisco and Michael Tubbs of Stockton, California, and Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois, who is a former Black Panther.

for the record I will vote for any democrat against trump and do so happily. I'll just be more happy to vote for Amy, Joe, Pete, Mike.

The fact that you will be happier voting for a racist like Mayor Mike than you will for a progressive is quite telling.

Why have major black leaders come out with support for Bloomberg?

Anyone supporting Trump loses all credibility when they call another candidate racist.

Moderates will not sit out this election. Some Bernie fanatics might sit out the election because they don't realize most democrats don't want Bernie even though he might have the most support due to a divided moderate vote.

There is no evidence that this happened in 2016 (Bernie voters behaved basically the same way all other voters act) and no basis in fact to predict that would happen in 2020.

If you are not a Dem then you are statistically irrelevant. We need to know from registered Dems if they will vote for any nominee to prevent another 4 years of this

I'm not sure that I understand this sentiment.

1) Independents make up something like 38% of the adult population. How can that many potential voters be "statistically irrelevant"?

Because they don't walk in lock-step. It is best to assume that half of Independents will vote one way and other half the other way. So, of you have 49 A votes, and 51 B votes, and you add 38 Indy votes, giving 19 to each side, the end result is the same. B is more votes that A.

I don't know, you would have to ask them. I judge Bloomberg on his policies and his statements.

I don't know what you mean with the second comment, but you are using the same defense for Bloomberg's racism as Trump's supporters use for Trump's racism. If you think their defense is not credible, you might want to consider your own.

Bottomline is Donald lacks proper English etiquette. He needs to conduct himself in a manner that's consistent with how he conducts himself in person to the people in the world that he's angry at.

All indications is that the madman Trump you see is a restrained version of how he actually conducts himself in person. That is why he needs everyone to sign NDAs (non-disclosures) because his reality is much uglier.

one answer is that older black voters really don't care much for the bernie/warren woke style of politics. older black voters are like older white voters...more conservative and less interested in the latest PC concerns.

Sure, just keep trying to deflect because you are happier voting for a racist than a progressive. Very enlightened of you.

Why is that? I support Trump (reluctantly) and admit he is a bit racist but I can still say that Bloomberg is also a bit racist. He didn't just allow stop-and-frisk to continue under his helm but stop-and-frisk skyrocketed while he was mayor. His comments on redlining also exhibited racist tendencies. He has only been in the race a short time but much more is sure to come out.

And right after posting this I found a story regarding the Rolling Stones and Trump. It is worth a read because Ugly Trump is in full force.

In essence: The Stones hated Trump. Somehow a venue they were going to play at was sponsored by Trump Org, much to their shock. It was too late to cancel the event but the Stones got Trump to agree to not promote the event, and to not show up at the event. Trump agreed. Well, needless to say is that Trump did show up and he took over the stage before the Stones were to appear and started promoting himself. Trump refused to stop promoting which lead the this exchange recalled by the tour promoter [Cohl].

“Keith pulls out his knife and slams it on the table and says, ‘What the hell do I have you for? Do I have to go over there and fire him myself? One of us is leaving the building – either him, or us.’”

“One of two things is going to happen. You’re going to leave the building and, at 6:40, The Rolling Stones are going to speak on CBS News, or you’re not going to leave the building and I’m going to go on and do an interview to explain to the world why the pay-per-view was canceled”

Then, while literally telling Donald Trump “You’re fired!” And Trump’s “three shtarkers he’s with, in trench coats, two of them are putting on gloves and the other one is putting on brass knuckles.”

Cohl signaled his head of security, who “got 40 of the crew with tire irons and hockey sticks and screwdrivers,” effectively sending off Trump and his goons.

“And that was the night I fired Donald Trump,” Cohl concluded.

I have gone on record here saying that if trump wins with 46% or less again I will absolutely blame Dems who abstained from voting because their favorite candidate didn't become the nominee.

ok you are right. One black republican state rep in texas is the same morally as several members of congres and, multiple large city mayors. Totally cancels out the meaning of these Dem's endorsement of bberg. Your logic is just aces perfect and I don't have anything to say in response.

What about non-Dems?

I've never been a democrat and never registered for a party.

"Bloomberg can't be racist because some African American politicians endorsed him"

"Trump has some African American supporters and followers but he is racist"

Never change, agip.

If you prefer Trump over whoever becomes the Dem nominee, then vote for Trump.

If you're real adamant about him, wear a hat.

Any predictions of a serious third party candidate that would garner significant votes in any states?

Agip doesn't really think things through. Nice catch.
